Solar geoengineering: growing scientific and political support for a non-use agreement policylabs.frontiersin.org/c…
Solar Geoengineering Non-use Agreement retweeted
🚨 SRM ist kein #Klimaschutz! Technische Eingriffe in den Strahlungshaushalt der Erde mit Solar Radiation Modification sind keine Lösungen gegen die #Klimakrise und bergen enorme Risiken. Mehr über SRM-Methoden und Gefahren in der neuen UBA-Broschüre: umweltbundesamt.de/publikati…

🌍 African Leadership Rejects Solar Geoengineering at #AMCEN20
As the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment ends, climate justice movements celebrate African governments’ leadership in rejecting dangerous solar geoengineering technologies

Africa just sent a clear message to the world: solar geoengineering is NOT a climate solution!
At #AMCEN20, African Ministers of Environment called for a Solar Geoengineering Non-Use Agreement and rejected dangerous tech like Stratospheric Aerosol Injection.
Here’s why it matters.

To address the climate crisis requires a focus on those who are most affected, putting them front and center as leaders of climate action rather than as test subjects for speculative fixes, argue @chuks_okereke and @NnimmoB. bit.ly/3I8vzq8

"We call for an International Non-Use Agreement on #solar engineering." ❌
@FHBBiermann shares more about what could happen with a deregulated governance on #geoengineering at his lecture on Earth System Governance at @Int_IDEA. 🌍

Pleased to join hundreds of #climate scientists and scholars from around the world in supporting the call for an International Non-Use Agreement on Solar Geoengineering.

We need an International Non-Use Agreement on Solar Geoengineering. Period. We need to ban the most dangerous climate manipulation false solutions today! You can sign the open letter here 👇🏼

Here is the double spread of ⚡️WHO IS AFRAID OF DEGROWTH?⚡️featuring @davidrvetter and @NaomiAKlein from the chapter about Solar Geoengineering and Carbon Capture Technologies. Do follow @SolarGeoeng for more info about the super important Solar Geoengineering Non-use Agreement.

This endorsement is a resounding call for governments and policymakers to listen to global civil society. Let's support a robust governance mechanism and halt the normalization of #SRM as a climate policy option. Learn more: solargeoeng.org

.@SolarGeoeng's Solar Geoengineering Non-Use Agreement was cited by Streit Council Research Fellow @EarthCiv as an example of a learned community contributed to policymaking at the global level. Read more on the proposed agreement: solargeoeng.org/non-use-agre…

I have been interviewed by BBC about the considerable geopolitical risks of developing solar geoengineering technologies. ⬇️
Good to know that 450 academics have signed the global call for an International Non-Use Agreement on Solar Geoengineering.

1/3 In its report to #HRC54 on the impact of new technologies for #ClimateProtection, the Advisory Committeee:
🔹Explains that new and emerging technologies intended for climate protection #NTCPs are those aimed at abating the adverse effects of #ClimateChange, with a potential to alter climate
🔹Explores the #HumanRights impacts of carbon dioxide removal and solar radiation modification #SRM
🔹Warns that at the current stage of their development, #NTCPs cannot be considered viable mitigation or adaptation measures

The call for a moratorium on solar radiation modification today by the @overshoot_comm seems sensible – such technologies are highly risky. But at the same time seems to encourage testing.
Our latest blog asks: is this report a trojan horse?
Solar Geoengineering Non-use Agreement retweeted
Today the @HRC_UN Advisory Committee published a 1st-of-a-kind report on the human rights implications of new technologies to tackle the #ClimateCrisis.
The message is clear: geoengineering techs & approaches are NOT compatible with #HumanRights: ciel.org/wp-content/uploads/…

“Opponents insist #SRM [solar radiation management] is too dangerous even to research, and their arguments are powerful (and terrifying).”

In this opinion piece in New York Times, I call on African governments to join efforts to strengthen the de facto moratorium (under the United Nations CBD) on the development and deployment of risky geoengineering technologies.

But to be fair I would stress that connections between the fossil fuel industry and solar geoengineering are rather few and far between, but the field *is* deeply rooted in and largely supports the economic status quo, as JP Sapinski and I to argue here: solargeoeng.org/economic-int…
