ANALYSIS OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF IMPLEMENTING GEOENGINEERING PROJECTS IN A CHANGING CLIMATE

The paper presents the results of analyzing several geoengineering projects on combating the global climate change. Two main groups of projects are considered: the management of solar radiation and the reduction of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere. As a result of the study, some positive and negative consequences of possible implementation of these projects for the natural environment and the socioeconomic sphere were determined. The main international legal principles regarding geoengineering contained in modern international documents are outlined, and the need for further development of national and international legal norms that determine the status of geoengineering projects is emphasized.
