We are excited to share with you a new toolkit for civil society produced by our allies at HOME Alliance that unpacks the realities of land-based geoengineering.

As the climate crisis intensifies, dangerous distractions and false solutions are gaining ground. Land-based geoengineering schemes are increasingly being promoted as a “solution,” but behind these lie serious risks to ecosystems, communities, biodiversity, and climate justice.

Read in the newly launched toolkit:

• What these technologies are
• The environmental and social risks they pose
• The projects and actors driving their expansion
• Why these approaches threaten real climate solutions

At a time when urgent, just, and proven climate action is needed, geoengineering deflects and misdirects attention from real solutions and shifts attention away from phasing out fossil fuels and systemic change.

This toolkit is designed for climate justice groups or civil society networks, campaigners, activists, and researchers. It brings together critical analysis, accessible explanations, and evidence to support resistance against risky technological schemes.

What can you do to support?

• Keep learning: Stay informed about geoengineering and its developments to build a critical understanding.
• Take a stand: Include the rejection of geoengineering and support for resistance efforts in your campaigns and advocacy.
• Spread the word: Share this toolkit within your networks. Geoengineers often erase & trivialise critical civil society perspectives.
• Endorse the manifesto: Become a signatory to  the HOME Alliance manifesto, rejecting geoengineering
