Il est important d'envisager les expériences de modification du rayonnement solaire proposées dans un contexte social plus large, déclare Sheila Jasanoff, professeur Pforzheimer d'études scientifiques et technologiques à la Harvard Kennedy School, lors d'un "C2GTalk". Les gens veulent savoir qui fait l'expérience et quelles sont ses intentions. Il est important que les scientifiques et les ingénieurs reconnaissent et prennent en compte ces préoccupations, et que la gouvernance soit construite autour de cela.

It is important to see proposed solar radiation modification experiments in a wider social context, says Sheila Jasanoff, the Pforzheimer Professor of Science and Technology Studies at the Harvard Kennedy School, during a C2GTalk interview. People want to know who is doing the experiment, and what their intentions are—and it is important for scientists and engineers to recognize and address these concerns, and for governance to be built around that.
Sheila Jasanoff is a leading expert on the role of science and technology in the law, politics, and policy of modern democracies, and her work offers fascinating insights into how society navigates emerging technologies, and how decision-makers assess evidence and expertise—which is extremely relevant to our governance conversations.
She is the author or editor of more than 15 books, including The Ethics of Invention and Can Science Make Sense of Life; has held distinguished appointments at leading universities around the world; and served on the board of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
