Climate intervention technologies (CIT) include several technologies in proposed, theoretical, or experimental stages that aim to modify the earth’s climate, including through the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or the reflection of sunlight into the atmosphere. Both climate change and the potential use of CIT will challenge human societies and have far reaching impacts on the natural environment. There is a high degree of uncertainty about whether such technologies would work, who would benefit and who would suffer from their use, where such technologies might be located, what their effects would be on surrounding populations, and what their impact would be to those already most vulnerable in society. The significant potential for disruption and conflict surrounding CIT leads to the importance of exploring the social dimensions of these technologies to inform how society might make decisions about them. This planning grant explores the opportunities, resources and organizations needed for creating a global research center for participatory, inclusive, and responsible governance of climate intervention technologies (CIT). The envisioned transdisciplinary center will undertake comparative empirical social science research in the global north and south to explore public views on CIT research and deployment and how this research can be integrated into governance. A central focus of the envisioned Center for Participatory Assessment and Governance of Climate Intervention Technology Research is how knowledge of geographically and demographically contingent public values and perspectives can inform collaborative decision-making on CIT research, testing, and deployment at national and global scales. The planning team uses participatory technology assessment (pTA), an inclusive and deliberative public engagement model, as an overarching framework for integrating research and practice across this center. Towards this end, the planning grant convenes core collaborators to identify pathways of inquiry along five focal research areas related to CIT: (i) Foresight and Assessment, (ii) Expert and Stakeholder Engagement, (iii) Anticipatory and Polycentric Governance, (iv) Evidence-based Decision and Policy Making, and (v) Civic and Informal Education and Training to inform a center for participatory assessment and governance of CIT. Targeted outreach through interviews, meetings or workshops with CIT researchers, developers, funders, policy stakeholders, and potential collaborators and creation of white papers will identify gaps, needs and opportunities within the five focal research areas. A wider group of collaborators will convene to assess the white papers to create an integrated, interdisciplinary, and comprehensive research agenda, and develops recommendations for a future center for research and innovation in participatory assessment and governance of CIT.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

气候干预技术（CIT）包括拟议的，理论或实验阶段的几种技术，旨在改变地球气候，包括通过从大气中去除二氧化碳或阳光反射到大气中。气候变化和CIT的潜在用途都将挑战人类社会，并对自然环境产生巨大影响。对于此类技术是否有效，谁会受益，谁会受益于他们的使用，这些技术的位置，它们对周围人群的影响以及它们对社会上最脆弱的人的影响是什么。围绕CIT的破坏和冲突的重要潜力导致探索这些技术的社会维度的重要性，以告知社会如何做出决定。该计划赠款探讨了创建一个全球参与，包容性和负责任的气候干预技术治理（CIT）所需的机会，资源和组织。设想的跨学科中心将在全球北部和南方进行比较经验社会科学研究，以探讨公众对CIT研究和部署的看法，以及如何将这项研究纳入治理。设想的参与式评估中心和气候干预技术研究中心的主要重点是，对地理和人口统计学上的公众价值观和观点的知识如何为国家和全球规模的CIT研究，测试和部署提供协作决策。规划团队使用参与技术评估（PTA），这是一种包容性和审议性的公众参与模型，作为在该中心整合研究和实践的总体框架。 Towards this end, the planning grant convenes core collaborators to identify pathways of inquiry along five focal research areas related to CIT: (i) Foresight and Assessment, (ii) Expert and Stakeholder Engagement, (iii) Anticipatory and Polycentric Governance, (iv) Evidence-based Decision and Policy Making, and (v) Civic and Informal Education and Training to inform a center for participation assessment and governance of CIT.通过访谈，会议或与CIT研究人员，开发人员，资金，政策利益相关者以及潜在合作者以及白皮书的创建的有针对性的宣传，将确定五个重点研究领域的差距，需求和机会。一组更广泛的合作者将召集以评估白皮书，以创建综合，跨学科和全面的研究议程，并为CIT的参与评估和治理的未来研究和创新中心提出了发展建议。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基础的智力效果和宽阔的评估来诚实地评估了NSF的法定任务，并以诚实的方式进行了评估。
