La Via Campesina, the international peasants‘ organization struggling against global capitalism, has called for governments to impose a complete ban on all geoengineering activities at the upcoming Rio+20 conference. La Via Campesina is a charter member of the HOME anti-CE campaign, along with the ETC Group, Biofuelwatch, and other groups.

„The growing debate on geoengineering indicates serious concern for the climate system. ► Global awareness and engagement in developing governance for research is critical. ► Governance structures to ensure responsible transparent research are needed urgently. ► Interdisciplinary research including social and ethical aspects is essential. ► The diversity of Carbon and Solar Geoengineering must be understood separately.“

Critical view on CE. „Conceptualizing geoengineering as the massive deployment of one or two
technologies is profoundly misleading for charting research priorities.“
