Live Discussion: Could Solar Geoengineering Prevent AMOC Collapse?

On 24 March 2026, SRM360 hosted a live discussion on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), the risk of its collapse, and the potential impacts of solar geoengineering.

Watch the recording to explore this topic with expert panellists Laurie Laybourn, David Thornalley, and John Moore.
