La gobernanza es el elemento clave de cualquier planteamiento que se proponga para alterar el clima, sobre todo desde el punto de vista de las naciones vulnerables al clima, afirma el profesor Saleemul Huq, director del Centro Internacional para el Cambio Climático y el Desarrollo (ICCCAD), en una entrevista con "C2GTalk". Su mayor preocupación es que se tomen decisiones que repercutan en los más vulnerables sin que éstos tengan la oportunidad de participar en el debate, por lo que es sumamente importante que las naciones vulnerables al clima tengan voz cuando se tomen decisiones sobre planteamientos que alteren el clima, como la eliminación del dióxido de carbono y la modificación de la radiación solar.

Governance is the key element in any climate-altering approaches being proposed, particularly from the point of view of climate vulnerable nations, says Professor Saleemul Huq in an interview with C2GTalk. His greatest concern is that decisions that have repercussions for the most vulnerable will be taken without them having a chance to take part in the discussion, so it is extremely important that climate vulnerable nations have a say when decisions are taken regarding climate-altering approaches, including carbon dioxide removal and solar radiation modification.
