Geoengineering is one of the most urgent and under-discussed topics impacting our planet today. It is not a distant, speculative issue but one that is actively shaping the future of our environment—and not in a way that benefits communities or the planet. From carbon capture and storage (CCS) to solar and marine geoengineering, these technologies are marketed as quick fixes to climate change but are dangerously misguided and fraught with hidden consequences.

Join us on December 11th at 16:00 UTC for an essential teach-in to understand the true impacts of geoengineering on communities, ecosystems, and the real solutions we need for a just future. This workshop will help funders working in climate, biodiversity, and conservation understand the implications of supporting these technologies and what role they can play to stop them. This session will offer an overview of the current geoengineering landscape, exploring the latest developments, and the false narratives that will help funders separate fact from fiction.

This is an invitation to not just learn, but to engage with others—so we invite you to come prepared to share your own insights, strategies, and lessons learned with fellow funders working on this topic! Our speakers also look forward to answering all your questions!
