Watch our experts unpack this issue further with Lisa Levin, Scripps Oceanography, David Santillo, Greenpeace International, Panganga Pungowiyi, Indigenous Environmental Network and Silvia Ribeiro, ETC Group Moderator: Eesha Rangani, HOME Alliance

The Hands Off Mother Earth! (HOME) Alliance organized a webinar on Earth Day to highlight the threats of geoengineering in the continent.  Speakers included Mfoniso Antia,  Hands off Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF),

Featuring 3 scientists (Michael Mann, Raymond Pierrehumbert, Jennie Stephens) and 6 activists (Tom Goldtooth, Naomi Klein, Åsa Larsson Blind, Bill McKibben, Vandana Shiva, Greta Thunberg)

This (101) session critically unpacked, from a climate justice perspective, three intersections of geoengineering: its techno-financial /deterministic roots and ideology, human rights and social justice questions, and finally, global governance and sovereignty. Silvia Ribeiro, ETC Group, Tom Goldtooth, Indigenous Environmental Network (IEN) and Dr. Max Ajl, Tunisian Observatory for Food Sovereignty (OSAE) led the teach-in which was loosely facilitated by the HOME campaign coordinator, Ruth Nyambura.
