Geoengineering the Ocean is Not a Climate Solution
Outdoor experiments are going ahead in defiance of the CBD decisions and the drive for restrictive regulation under the London Convention/London Protocol, while negotiations under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement risk legitimising and entrenching these highly speculative, risky techniques. 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

Grounding Teach-In on Geoengineering: A False Solution to the Climate Crisis
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.

HOME Alliance Media advisories
Authoritative statements and language from recent human rights expert reports
This short briefing by Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) highlights language from recent reports and expert statements in the field of human rights as they concern geoengineering technologies. Geoengineering technologies – carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and solar geoengineering or solar radiation modification (SRM technologies) – pose significant, unprecedented risks to a wide range of human rights. These risks disproportionately affect vulnerable and marginalized communities, and the technologies remain largely unproven and infeasible at scale. Understanding these human rights implications is crucial for any informed discussion on geoengineering research or governance.
