​This event is part of The Drop 2024. To attend, you must have a ticket to The Drop. Apply for a Drop 2024 ticket.

​Session Overview: Greenland and West-Antarctic ice sheets are expected to start collapsing at 1.5°C. The world has just experienced a 12-month period with 1.6°C warming. While emission reductions and drawdown remain top priorities, we also need to explore Climate Interventions for mitigating near-term climate risks and avoiding irreversible damages. Join us to discuss the leading intervention ideas for glacier and sea ice restoration and technologies to cool the Earth with solar radiation management (SRM). What are the promises and risks, bottlenecks in R&D, and political challenges?

​Key Questions:

• ​What are the top ideas, and what are the expected benefits and risks?

• ​What are the bottlenecks in research?

• ​How can we get research moving faster?

​Who should attend? People concerned with extreme climate risks and mitigating risks to society.
