This paper examines the implementation challenges and role of disclosure-based governance within climate geoengineering (CE) research. The paper examines how disclosure-based governance can facilitate minimizing socio-environmental concerns and ensuring legitimacy in the research process itself, and discusses key design features needed to achieve these ends.
