From mastering cloud seeding and reducing urban air pollution, to devising ways to quickly extinguish forest fires and clear the Pacific garbage patch, Indians are increasingly enrolling in geoengineering courses at international universities, driven by the urgency to combat climate change and address pressing environmental challenges. These programmes, which focus on advanced technologies such as solar geoengineering, carbon capture, and marine pollution management, are attracting a diverse cohort.
Geoengineering or climate engineering is the deliberate large-scale intervention in the Earth's natural systems to counteract climate change. More specifically, it refers to a set of emerging technologies that could manipulate the environment and partially offset some of the impacts of climate change.
