Arctic Repair 2025 will delve into innovative climate engineering techniques designed to combat the rapid changes taking place in the Arctic, such as the decline of Arctic sea-ice, loss of ice from glaciers, and other ice loss from land.

This conference will address the scientific, ethical, political, and social dimensions surrounding Arctic climate solutions, focusing on key themes such as Arctic climate modelling, the impacts and implications of Arctic amplification, engineering interventions, and atmospheric effects.

The techniques discussed do not replace the actions needed to reduce greenhouse gas levels; furthermore, many of these approaches may be applicable to other parts of the world as well.

Call for Presentations and Posters:

We encourage applications for presentations and posters in the following areas:

  • Stratospheric Aerosol Injection 
  • Marine Cloud Brightening 
  • Seabed Curtains 
  • Sea Ice Thickening 
  • Space Sun Shades 
  • Other Climate Engineering Topics (such as manipulation of glacier drainage, land surface albedo enhancement, etc.)

We are pleased to see work presented covering a range of approaches such as:

  • Modelling (Chemical, Mathematical, etc.) 
  • Laboratory Experiments 
  • Field Experiments/Observations 
  • Governance, Ethics, and Legal
