🚨 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:

🌍 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 https://t.co/fYXOVeQR1B🧵 ➡️

Dear friends, This week at #AMCEN20, we witnessed some truly pivotal developments as African governments have come together to reaffirm their strong stance against solar geoengineering. Two years ago, our Ministers made a groundbreaking call for a non-use mechanism, and this

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

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.

📢 Young activists are calling for a ban on solar geoengineering. In this recent article, they argue that "using this controversial technology would be a profound betrayal of today's youth and future generations," advocating for a Non-Use Agreement on Solar Geoengineering.

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. Read more here: https://t.co/3WAwOCS1Az @SolarGeoeng

📢 “Aligned with these recommendations, the EU should now take the lead globally to initiate an international norm shift towards non-use. We should not be talking about SRM as an option. It’s too risky to keep it on the table.” - Professor @AartiGupta17

“Some may say that our position is too extreme, that we are closing the door on potentially useful technologies. To them I say: the truly extreme position is to gamble with the future of our planet on unproven, high-risk interventions.” 8/9

“This is why at the recent UN Environment Assembly, Vanuatu and Fiji proudly stood with our African sisters and brothers in calling for a global governance mechanism to ensure the non-use of solar geoengineering technologies.” 7/9

“For decades, colonial powers used our islands as testing grounds for nuclear weapons, leaving a legacy of contamination and health impacts that persists to this day. We will not allow ourselves to be subjected to another reckless experiment in planetary engineering.” 6/9

“Or they advocate for investments in research, saying that we need to study all options. To them I say: we in the Pacific are not your guinea pigs. We have seen this story before.” 5/9

“These are not abstract concerns. They strike at the very heart of our right to exist as Pacific peoples and nations. And yet, proponents of solar geoengineering argue that these risks are worth taking given the magnitude of the climate crisis.” 4/9

“Let me be clear: the risks of solar geoengineering are profound and far-reaching. For island nations like Vanuatu, these risks are particularly acute. Our lives and livelihoods are intimately tied to natural systems that could be severely disrupted by solar geoengineering.” 3/9
