SCIENCE BEHIND
REFLECTIVITY.
INTENDED CHANGES
Humans have influenced Earth's reflectivity since the rise of agriculture when people cleared forests to make space for crops. While those changes were inadvertent, today scientists and policymakers are studying intentional interventions to brighten the surface and atmosphere. We are an active collaborator in this international effort to better understand the effectiveness and impacts of managing Earth's reflectivity. Together, we can learn and inform climate action.

Policy and Advocacy
There are important issues to debate about how to modify Earth’s reflectivity, from the local to the global, and from the surface out to space.
