Ethics & Human Rights explores the moral and legal dimensions of solar geoengineering, with an emphasis on justice, equity, and human rights protections. It introduces key issues such as intergenerational justice, global equity, and the risks borne disproportionately by vulnerable communities. The module also examines how solar geoengineering intersects with substantive rights (like health, food, and water) and procedural rights (such as participation and access to information), offering a broader lens beyond scientific and technical feasibility.

Through accessible materials and critical perspectives, this module highlights the role of human rights frameworks, rights-based approaches, and justice-based movements in shaping solar geoengineering debates. Whether you're new to the topic or working at the intersection of climate, justice, and law, this module provides a foundation for understanding how ethical and human rights considerations shape the legitimacy of solar geoengineering research and governance.
