Even though countries have committed to reduce global temperature rise to below 2°C through the Paris Agreement, global temperatures are predicted to break the climate threshold of 1.5°C in 2027. This shows how the climate change mitigation and emission reduction are often fail in pursuing the ambitions of the Paris Agreement. Instead of focusing on reducing emissions, developed countries such as the United States are considering geoengineering alternatives. How come geoengineering, which potentially violates international laws and harms climate justice, could be considered as an option to prevent climate disasters?
