Framing geoengineering assessments

Research output: Chapter in Book/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The ways in which social actors choose to organise and communicate, or “frame”, ideas such as geoengineering channel expressions of power. In support of decision-making, the selection of contexts and methods in technology assessment both constitute broad sites of instrumental framing, which act to condition assessment outcomes. As an “upstream” suite of technology proposals that is currently in advance of significant research and development or public controversy, geoengineering is particularly sensitive to these, and other, framings.
