geoengineering
Definition
A complete explanation of the intended meaning of a concept- A broad set of methods and technologies that aim to deliberately alter the climate system in order to alleviate the impacts of cli- mate change. Most, but not all, methods seek to either (1) reduce the amount of absorbed solar energy in the climate system (solar radiation management, or solar radiation modification, SRM) or (2) increase net carbon sinks from the atmosphere at a scale sufficiently large to alter climate (i.e., carbon dioxide removal, CDR).
- La géo-ingénierie consiste, par exemple, à essayer d'atténuer le changement climatique anthropique par une diminution des concentrations du gaz carbonique atmosphérique ou du rayonnement solaire incident.

Scope note
Notes about the usage and scope of the concept.- Scale and intent are of central importance. Two key characteristics of geoengineering methods of particular concern are that they use or affect the climate system (e.g., atmosphere, land or ocean) globally or regionally and/or could have substantive unintended effects that cross national boundaries. Geoengineering is different from weather modification and ecological engineering, but the boundary can be unclear.
