The Open Philanthropy Project awarded a grant of $776,095 to the UCLA School of Law to support research and meetings on climate engineering governance led by Professor Edward Parson. This grant falls within Open Philanthropy's work on global catastrophic risks.
Professor Parson plans to use this grant to hire one or two fellows for three years to do academic research, publish papers, and hold meetings and workshops on climate engineering governance with relevant policymakers. Open Philanthropy hopes that this grant will positively influence the future of climate engineering governance and policy.
