Real solutions exist - driven by the knowledge of Indigenous Peoples, community led initiatives and phasing out of fossil fuels.

Governments across Africa and the Pacific have already said they don’t want solar geoengineering on their continents. UNEP should support that leadership, not undermine it with a report that recommends the very activity its own findings argue against.

What is needed is not a global research program, but a global agreement to stop the development and deployment of risky solar geoengineering technologies.

Communities where outdoor experiments have happened or are likely to happen, will be the most impacted and are overwhelmingly least represented in meaningful decision-making processes. That is why the principle of free, prior and informed consent matters.

A non-use agreement doesn't ban climate science. It raises concerns about a path that turns research into deployment: funding, patents, outdoor experiments, and normalization of dangerous schemes.

Who decides to dim the sun? Who’s impacted if something goes wrong? No amount of modeling in a lab or research answers that. Only a decision not to do it does.

Researchers and academics who are signatories of @solargeoeng.bsky.social are saying: the biggest risks of solar geoengineering aren’t things you can measure in a lab.

The non-use position builds on two decades of research and deliberation across the natural and social sciences, law and global governance.

While legitimate research warrants protection, speculative and risky experiments should not be legitimized under the guise of ‘research’. That is not caution, it is a pathway to deployment in disguise.

A recent @unep.org report on solar geoengineering, an unproven fix to dim sunlight, admitted the technology isn't a real climate solution. Then it recommended more research anyway, including real-world outdoor testing. The report answered its own question, then ignored the answer.

Risky geoengineering experiments shouldn’t happen at all, no matter how carefully they’re framed as research or solutions.

Who benefits from carbon removal & who pays the price? A new @newslaundry.com investigation examines biochar projects in Gujarat’s Banni grasslands, raising questions about community impacts, water use and ecosystem restoration. Research supported by GFC

As climate firm sells to Big Tech, a Gujarat grassland is left behind

Varaha’s promise of community-led restoration stands tested in what was once Asia’s largest and finest tropical grassland.

At a time when carbon markets and carbon removal are expanding rapidly, the report offers an important reminder: climate action cannot be separated from justice, land rights and ecological integrity. #HandsOffMotherEarth #ForestJustice #FalseSolutions #Quilombola #StopMonocultureTreePlantations

🚨It’s a warning sign of how powerful actors are trying to normalise the idea that pollution can be cleaned up later, placing communities, ecosystems, and public resources at risk. #HandsOffMotherEarth #NoGeoengineering #NoFalseSolutions #NoDangerousDistractions #ClimateJustice #RealSolutions

The report exposes how fossil fuel interests and Big Tech are shaping California’s climate policy pushing risky, unproven technologies like Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) while real solutions are sidelined. #HandsOffMotherEarth #NoGeoengineering #NoFalseSolutions

Do you know? Ocean alkalinity enhancement, artificial upwelling, and ocean iron fertilization would need to manipulate roughly 10% of the ocean's surface just to have any meaningful climate impact. #NoMarineGeoengineering #NoFalseSolutions
