IEN Climate Geoengineering Organizer, Panganga Pungowiyi reminds us that relationships are integral to true, sustainable climate solutions.

#NoFalseSolutions #DefendTheSacred #EndCo2lonialism #UNPFII2024 #IndigenousPeoplesAtTheUN

🌿 Indigenous leaders are speaking out against false climate solutions like carbon markets. At the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, Tom Goldtooth and the Indigenous Environmental Network called for a long overdue switch-up. 🌍

🛑 Carbon markets are not only ineffective in mitigating climate…

Indigenous peoples rush to stop ‘false #climate solutions’ such as carbon markets. Carbon markets are a smokescreen — “a loophole — [that keeps] #FossilFuel polluters from agreeing to phase out carbon.” Tom Goldtooth Indigenous Environmental Network

“It’s a life and death situation with our people related to the mitigation solutions that are being negotiated, especially under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.” Indigenous Environmental Network's Tom Goldtooth on a moratorium on false climate solutions like #CarbonMarkets grist.org/global-indigen…

From Wardie we say: 'Keep your Hands Off St Ives Bay!'

Solidarity with you all fighting Planetary's plan to test speculative marine geoengineering technologies in your beautiful bay!

This afternoon, people took part in a mass 'Swim for the Sea' at Gwithian beach to protest against plans by Planetary Technologies and South West Water to carry out a carbon sequestration trial by dropping tonnes of magnesium hydroxide in St Ives Bay. cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-…

CIEL's Mary Church shares some key updates on marine geoengineering.
Impossible to test for its intended climate impact without large-scale deployment, these techs:
👿are a dangerous distraction from real climate solutions
👿pose huge risks to our oceans & coastal communities.

Solar #GeoEngineering has suffered some serious setbacks over the past couple of months, but the struggle against unproven, risky & polluting false solutions 2 the #ClimateCrisis goes on! Read Hands Off Mother Earth! (HOME) Alliance & GeoMon analysis here: geoengineeringmonitor.org/2024/04/setbac…

Good news!📢📢📢

Following powerful community resistance, 🇨🇦 start-up Planetary Technologies (PT) announced that it will not proceed with a planned trial of its flagship Enhanced Ocean Alkalinity (EOA) project in Cornwall 🇬🇧this year
