Climate econometric models indicate solar geoengineering would reduce inter-country income inequality

A. R. Harding, K. Ricke, et al.

This research conducted by Anthony R. Harding, Katharine Ricke, Daniel Heyen, Douglas G. MacMartin, and Juan Moreno-Cruz unveils the varied economic effects of solar geoengineering. By analyzing macroeconomic models alongside climate simulations, the study reveals that while global GDP impacts are temperature-related, solar geoengineering consistently lowers income inequality among countries—a crucial insight for future discussions on its distributional consequences.
