🚨 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: https://t.co/iVsE7M6EVI

🌍 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

[Power Shift Africa @PowerShftAfrica]

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. https://t.co/NDnvV5yzCB

📢 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.

[Project Syndicate @ProSyn]

Mohammed Usrof, et al predict that the controversial technology will foist upon young people yet another crisis they did not create. https://t.co/CqMZyYLjF3

📢 “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

[Climate Home News @ClimateHome]

Europe’s first scientific advice on the technology urges Brussels to prevent solar geoengineering. The EU doesn’t have an official position on SRM, although it “does not consider [it] as a solution” https://t.co/t6Q6vrMvku

📢 Statement from Vanuatu: “Why a Non-Use Mechanism on Solar Geoengineering is urgently needed” by Honorable Ralph Regenvanu, Vanuatu’s Special Envoy for Climate Change and Environment @RRegenvanu

Some excerpts of his powerful call:

[Solar Geoengineering Non-use Agreement @SolarGeoeng]

“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.”
