The Youth Engagement module highlights the importance of including young people in the global conversation on solar geoengineering. As the generation that will live longest with the consequences of today’s climate decisions, youth have a critical stake in how solar geoengineering is researched, governed, or opposed. This module explores why youth voices matter and provides context for understanding the emerging SRM landscape through a generational lens.

This module identifies concrete pathways for youth participation—from climate advocacy and public engagement to science communication and policy dialogue. Whether through student-led organizing, research initiatives, or participation in international forums, young people are increasingly positioned to shape how solar geoengineering fits within broader climate justice and sustainability goals.
