Abstract: Human society is facing great challenges to address global climate change. How to move the international climate process forward is still a serious problem for politicians.

In this paper, we focus on some important issues of geoengineering including the definition, characteristics, ethics and global governance, etc. and then put forward some suggestions for China's considerations.
