Global temperatures continue to rise, increasing the risks of extreme weather, food insecurity, displacement, and pressure on health systems. This has led to growing interest in solar radiation modification (SRM), a set of approaches that could reduce global temperatures by reflecting a small portion of sunlight back into space. While SRM is not a substitute for emissions reduction, it raises important scientific, social, and ethical questions, particularly for regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa, where climate impacts are already being felt acutely and where further research is needed to understand how different SRM scenarios could affect regional climates, communities, and critical systems.
