Solar geoengineering cannot be safely tested, fairly governed, or ethically deployed. Deployment would create winners and losers, undermining the rights of billions of people and raising the central question of who gets to control the global thermostat.

🚨 Stardust Solutions, a US-Israeli start-up, plans to begin outdoor solar #geoengineering experiments as soon as April 2026, aiming for commercialisation and deployment this decade. This accelerates a reckless race that threatens to put humanity on a path of no return.

💥 This ruling sends a warning to the fossil fuel industry: Sinking money into oil exploration is legally risky. Drilling for oil is as unacceptable today as it will be tomorrow, for the planet and for people.

📌 The Court made clear: governments can’t greenlight fossil fuel projects without assessing the full climate harm they unleash—at home and abroad. Judicial scrutiny now applies to global downstream emissions. That’s a game-changer.
