We welcome you to the plenaries of the Co-CREATE Forum on Solar ‎Radiation Modification Research ‎Governance, livestreamed on 27–29 May 2026 from Brussels, Belgium‎.‎ Disclaimer: We ask everyone to be aware of the conference’s ‎ ‎ code of conduct, noting that anyone not ‎complying with these principles will be expelled from the livestream.‎ Session Description: Synthesis Discussion In this livestreamed session, participants will share their takeaways from the parallel sessions taking place ‎on the first day of the Co-CREATE Forum, held in-person under Chatham House rules.‎ Session Description: Closing Plenary - Insights, Tensions, and Implications for Responsible SRM Research ‎Governance This first-day closing plenary invites five distinguished speakers to reflect on the key insights, tensions, and ‎surprises emerging from day 2 roundtables and the preceding synthesis plenary. Building on the visual ‎harvesting displayed behind the panel, each speaker will offer a short reaction to a specific observation from ‎the synthesis session, followed by brief responses from session rapporteurs. The floor then opens for ‎participants to raise questions, provocations, and concerns, ensuring that diverse voices help articulate what ‎still feels unresolved. The session closes by drawing a line toward Day 3, highlighting how these reflections ‎can feed directly into the co-creation labs and the further development of principles, guidelines, and ‎decision-support frameworks for SRM research governance.‎ Speakers: ‎ • Matthias Honegger (Senior Research Consultant, Perspectives Climate Research)‎ • Julia Guivant (Full Professor, Federal University of Santa Catarina)‎ • Olivia Lazard (Fellow, Berggruen Institute)‎ • David Olufemi Awolala (Director, African Group of Negotiators Experts Support)‎ • Jeroen Oomen (Assistant Professor, Utrecht University)‎ About the Co-CREATE Forum: ‎ The Co-CREATE Forum on Solar ‎Radiation Modification Research Governance is organised as part of Co-‎CREATE, a project funded by the European Union under Horizon Europe ‎and by UK Research and Innovation ‎‎(UKRI). Co-CREATE brings together a consortium of European ‎institutions. Over three years, we are working ‎with policymakers, research funders, ethics committees, and ‎stakeholders worldwide to develop principles, ‎guidelines, and decision-support frameworks for responsible ‎SRM research governance. The Forum aims to ‎inform the project’s work, contributing to an integrated set of ‎principles, guidelines, and decision-support ‎frameworks for policymakers, funders, and ethics bodies. This ‎ensures responsible SRM research and ‎governance aligned with European and global public interests.‎ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW CLIMATE STRATEGIES WEBSITE: https://www.climatestrategies.org TWITTER: https://twitter.com/climatestrat FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/CStrategies LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/company/climate-strategies EMAIL: info@climatestrategies.org
