GSR Foundation will award a prize to solutions that use technology in an innovative way to address pressing issues in their communities, which have the potential to scale globally. The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation Ocean Innovation Prize is open to solutions supporting innovation for coasts, oceans, and the broader blue economy. A prize of up to $50,000 will be awarded across one or more Solver teams from the 2024 Global Climate Challenge or from Solve's portfolio of existing Solver teams. The Climate-Positive and Equitable Food Systems Prize is open to high-impact solutions from emerging for-profit or non-profit entities, and is focused on transforming food systems to be more sustainable and equitable, leading to safe and nutritious food that is accessible, affordable, attractive, and trusted.The Seeding The Future Foundation is a private nonprofit organization that seeds and supports innovative solutions to help improve the global food system.

# Geoengineering: Building ethics, transparency and inclusion into climate intervention research. Geoengineering or climate intervention aims to tackle global warming through large-scale interventions in Earth’s climate system.Image: iStockphoto/AleksandarGeorgiev. * The urgency of the climate crisis has boosted interest in climate intervention or geoengineering – large-scale interventions to counteract global warming. Climate intervention, also known as geoengineering, is the deliberate large-scale intervention in Earth’s climate system to counteract global warming. On 22 October 2024, the American Geophysical Union (AGU) released its Ethical Framework Principles for Climate Intervention Research as a guide to responsible decision-making and inclusive dialogue about geoengineering research. Two leading concepts in climate intervention research – carbon dioxide removal and solar radiation modification – are defined and addressed in the framework, but the principles are broad and flexible by design so they can be applied to all emerging research. AGU developed these framework principles through a two-year process that included an open public comment period and contributions from a global board of scientists, policymakers, ethicists, government agencies, nongovernmental organizations and representatives of potentially impacted communities including Indigenous peoples.

#### Nature-based Solutions. ### Nature-based solutions: Crucial innovations for a resilient, sustainable future. Nature-based solutions (NbS), sometimes referred to as engineering with nature, is a design approach that leverages the positive benefits of natural systems in conjunction with traditional engineering. Weaving natural features and processes into our design work increases long-term human, ecological, and infrastructure resilience to climate change and other environmental impacts. ### How nature-based solutions deliver ROI, resilience, and community benefits. ### Nature-based solutions: Solving environmental challenges. ### Showcasing success with Nature-based Solutions at COP28. ### How to curb skepticism around Nature-based Solutions. ### The challenges and opportunities of nature-based solutions. ## Reducing greenhouse gas emissions through nature-based carbon solutions. # Nature-based Solutions.

# Article Nature-based and geo-engineering climate mitigation technologies: Public acceptance and security prospects. Public attitudes strongly favor nature-based climate solutions like reforestation. Sociodemographic factors like education and region shape climate-tech perceptions. Logistic regression models show public support for varied climate mitigation methods. Climate change requires mitigation approaches, from nature-based to experimental geoengineering. We examined public attitudes toward six strategies—reforestation in previously forested areas, afforestation in new terrains, direct CO2 capture with underground storage, biomass energy with CO2 capture, stratospheric sulfate aerosols, and orbital mirrors—via a representative Czech survey (*N* = 3,007). Results show strong favor for reforestation and afforestation due to ecological benefits and long-term promise; sulfate aerosols and orbital mirrors face skepticism. Older respondents favored biomass-based carbon capture but less so certain high-tech solutions. Our findings highlight the importance of policies aligned with diverse public views, ensuring both established and novel measures are harmonized into an effective climate mitigation strategy. These results indicate demographic contexts shape acceptance of climate interventions.
