According to the latest IPCC Working Group I report (2021), changes in the climate in recent decades are widespread, rapid, intensifying, and unprecedented in at least the last 2,000 years. The global mitigation efforts under the Paris Agreement have been inadequate to reach the target of stabilizing warming below 1.5°C. Thus, it is likely that interest in solar geoengineering (SG) as an additional option to address climate change may increase in coming years. The latest IPCC Working Group II report (2022) concludes that SG could offset some of the effects of increasing greenhouse gases (GHGs) on global and regional climate but also notes large uncertainties and risks involved in large-scale deployment of SG. In this context, we assess the need for promoting SG research in India. We conducted an expert opinion survey of mainly researchers and a few individuals from government departments and civil society members who have some level of expertise in climate change and knowledge of SG. A literature review, examination of funded research projects, and survey results indicate very limited research in India on SG, and even more limited social science research. SG research in India is largely focused on modeling the climate hazards, and government support for research (currently only from the Department of Science and Technology) is very limited.
