The issues raised are not devolved to Wales but are reserved to UK Government with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero acting as lead government department. I refer you to their position paper on solar radiation management (SRM) UK government’s view on greenhouse gas removal technologies and solar radiation management - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) which states ‘The government is not deploying SRM, and has no plans to do so.’
