    Geoengineering, Water, and Population: Top Posts of June 2018

    July 9, 2018 By Benjamin Dills

    With climate adaption and mitigation efforts failing to keep pace with climate-related risks, the need for a global regime on geoengineering will be increasingly pressing, write Elizabeth L. Chalecki and Lisa Ferrari in June’s top post. The norms of just war theory could provide a starting point for developing a code of conduct for geoengineering.

    Rebecca Lorenzen covers the challenges faced by communities with erratic water supplies, and Olivia Smith reports on how population dynamics affect community resilience. Mara Tignino and Laura E. Turley ask whether international rivers will follow an emerging trend and gain legal rights to sue for their protection. And rounding out our top five, we examine the hidden dangers of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy.
