This book investigates the role of cloud seeding laws in governing regional solar radiation management (SRM) activities. It challenges the prevailing belief that cloud seeding laws are irrelevant to regional SRM governance and argues for their applicability. Through case studies in Australia, Canada, and the United States, the book highlights the need for legal frameworks that promote cross-scale interactions, stakeholder participation, flexible decision-making, and conflict resolution. It advocates for adopting adaptive governance principles to effectively manage the risks and uncertainties associated with regional SRM interventions. By filling a gap in the existing literature, this book offers valuable insights and recommendations for the governance of regional SRM, shedding light on the potential of cloud seeding laws to inform and shape SRM governance frameworks. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal and normative aspects, offering practical guidance for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders involved in regional SRM initiatives.

Sobre el autor
Dr. Manon Simon is a lecturer at the University of Tasmania Faculty of Law, specializing in the transferability of governance lessons from weather modification techniques to solar radiation management. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Public and International Law from the University of Poitiers, and pursued her LL.M. in Environmental and Natural Resources Law at the University of Oregon, USA. In 2017, she began her Ph.D. at the University of Wuhan, China, focusing on international regulations of weather modification activities. Later, she transferred to the University of Tasmania, where she completed her Ph.D. titled ‘Governing Cloud Seeding in Australia and the United States: Lessons for Regional Solar Radiation Management.’ Her research explored the applicability of existing cloud seeding laws to govern regional solar radiation management techniques. Currently, Dr. Manon Simon is engaged as a post-doctoral fellow in the ARC Discovery Project, ‘Governing Solar Radiation Management Research, Development and Deployment, ‘ collaborating with the Australian Forum for Climate Intervention Governance (AFCIG).
