As the world faces increasingly frequent and severe extreme weather events, weather adaptation has emerged as a core area of focus in global climate technology and risk management. Recently, Strategic Weather Adaptation: From Technology to Implementation, a book planned and written by a TGSA, was officially released. It is the world's first monograph to specifically focus on weather adaptation technology, methods, and applications, filling a knowledge gap in the field of micro-scale weather adaptation within geoengineering.
The book covers three core aspects:the technical framework of weather adaptation,procedural design for adaptation methods, andthe establishment of risk and institutional frameworks. It not only explains how to achieve short-term and strategic meteorological interventions through technologies like artificial rain enhancement, precision rainfall, and smog mitigation, but also proposes globally applicable project governance principles and an experimental sandbox mechanism. This lays the groundwork for nations to develop future weather adaptation policies and business models.
Additionally, the book proposes a draft "Weather Adaptation Alliance Statement," calling on the international community to jointly promote the positive development of climate technology based on principles of ethics, fairness, and sustainability. This aims to prevent the militarization or misuse of weather adaptation technology.
In a new era where global climate risk has become the norm, Strategic Weather Adaptation: From Technology to Implementation is more than just a technical manual; it is also a blueprint for future action.
