US proposals to ban solar geoengineering The status of US state and federal bans on solar geoengineering.

👉 Explore the Tracker: buff.ly/itg0eTO

Today, the US Congress held a hearing on #SolarGeoengineering and weather modification.

It follows a surge of 76 bills across 35 states since 2023 — but only 3 have passed.

SRM360’s new State Ban Tracker maps every state proposal and the growing federal debate.

SRM360 | SRM Research in Africa Is Not Neo‑Colonial Experimentation Nana Klutse and Babatunde Abiodun share their response to this framing of solar geoengineering (SRM) research in Africa.

This builds upon themes in our recent SRM360 Perspective from Babtunde and Nana Ama Browne Klutse.

Is SRM research in Africa “neo-colonial”? Leading African scientists say no — and argue that this framing undermines African leadership.

They position responsible SRM research as:
☀️ Africa-led
☀️ Transparent
☀️ About understanding, not advocacy
