This week, executives of the European Union released a Joint Communication to the European Parliament, offering a new outlook on the connection between climate change and European security. Although the plan is very broad, covering a wide range of implications arising from global warming, the attention grabber is the EU's decision to join international discussions on solar geoengineering. The Joint Communication states that "...the EU will support international efforts to assess comprehensively the risks and uncertainties of climate interventions, including solar radiation modification, and promote discussions on a potential international framework for its governance, including research related aspects." In taking this decision the EU follows the lead of the US and the United Nations Environment Program, both already committed to taking a hard look at controversial planetary-scale approaches to cooling Earth by artificially altering its energy balance with Space.
