        "description": "Why this programme\nClimate change could cause global temperatures to increase by several degrees by the end of the century. There is a real risk that heating already locked-in to the planet could precipitate climate tipping points with serious and irreversible consequences around the world.  While the only sustainable way to reduce the risk of such tipping events is through decarbonisation, the risk of crossing one or more in the near future has driven increased interest in approaches to actively reduce global temperatures in the shorter term. Yet, there is a dearth of robust data on these approaches, and we have a limited understanding of whether such interventions are scientifically sound, how they might be steered, or the full extent of their potential impacts.\nWhat we're shooting for\nFollowing a twelve-month engagement process, this programme will begin to explore whether approaches designed to delay, or avert, climate tipping points could be feasible, scalable, and safe. Our goal: to gather critical missing data and answer fundamental scientific questions that could help prevent humanity from experiencing climate tipping points.",
