#PressReleaseAlert ✊🏽 At the UN climate negotiations #SB64 in Bonn today Indigenous Peoples, civil society organizations, and climate justice groups came together to reject blue economy initiatives and the growing push for marine geoengineering. @ciel.org @gfc-forest.bsky.social #HandsOffOurOceans

Happening today at 11.30am CEST during the #BonnClimateMeetings. Our very own Mary Church will speak about the risks of marine geoengineering being advanced under the guise of climate action. Watch it here: unfccc-events.azureedge.net/SB64_113292/...

🚨 Happening tomorrow 🚨 Join our press con at the UN climate negotiations #SB64 as we expose the threats of blue economy & risks of marine geoengineering being advanced under the guise of climate action.

#WorldOceanDay 🌊On this World Oceans Day HOME Alliance reminds that our oceans are not a testing ground for risky geoengineering experiments. ❗Marine geoengineering is not a climate solution, it is a high-risk and speculative intervention in already fragile ocean ecosystem. #NoGeoengineering

Three developments over the last month have put solar geoengineering governance back on the map. A new blog from @mmchch.bsky.social unpacks what they mean — and what needs to happen next.

Solar geoengineering for profit - Solar Geoengineering Non-Use Agreement

Advocates of solar geoengineering are dismayed. But why are they surprised?

Stardust and its backers cannot be allowed to flout international law by developing and normalizing this extraordinarily dangerous technology. It’s time to put solar geoengineering off the table for good, and refocus urgently on tackling the root causes of the climate crisis.

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.

News that Israeli-US start up Stardust Solutions has now raised a hefty $75m, plans to start outdoor solar geoengineering experiments as soon as next spring and appears to be working towards potential deployment this decade is major cause for alarm www.ciel.org/news/us-isra...

Marine geoengineering is a dangerous distraction from real, rights-based climate solutions. CIEL & FOE US urge states to uphold precaution, stop open-ocean experiments, and protect the ocean as a vital climate ally. 🛑 It’s time to hit the brakes.

This new brief outlines: - The scale and scope of potential marine geoengineering deployment - What’s at stake for coastal communities and ecosystems - How international law restricts deployment and commercialization - What states must do to uphold precaution and halt open-ocean experiments

These highly speculative techniques would turn the ocean into a laboratory and risk undermining the livelihoods of billions of people. Yet experiments are on the rise with some projects already selling carbon credits in violation of international agreements.

🌊 Marine #Geoengineering is increasingly entering mainstream climate discourse . A new report from CIEL & @foeus.bsky.social maps where these dangerous technologies may be tested or deployed. The findings: no ocean basin or coastal state is out of scope. 🔗 Read the briefing: bit.ly/47rmsuS
