What Next? Climate change, technology and development

Niclas H&aauml;llström

Development, 2008, vol. 51, issue 3, 375-381

Abstract: Drawing on the What Next project, Niclas H&aauml;llström warns that the urgency of the climate crisis may open the door for new, untried and risky techno-fix solutions. He argues that society must find ways to ensure precaution, sustainability and equity when introducing new technologies. He raises concern that ‘geo-engineering’ and new converging technologies at the nano-scale as solutions to climate change could lead to new global problems and highlights the importance of civil society. Development (2008) 51, 375–381. doi:10.1057/dev.2008.37
