‎HOME Alliance Africa and Partners Engage Media and Youth on Solar Radiation Management and the Call for African-Led Climate Solutions


Reported By Azaglo Michael 

HOME Alliance Africa and its partners have held an interactive engagement with the media and youth community to raise awareness on Solar Radiation Manipulation (SRM) and the Non-Use Agreement, a growing global conversation on geoengineering and its implications for climate action.

‎

‎The event, which brought together civil society organizations (CSOs), youth leaders, and journalists, aimed to introduce participants to the concept of SRM—an emerging climate intervention technique that seeks to reflect sunlight to cool the planet. However, the approach remains controversial, especially in African contexts where natural and community-based solutions are often prioritized.

‎

‎Speaking during the session, Adjoa Nkesisan, Gender Lead of the AbibiNsroma Foundation, explained that the engagement sought to help participants understand SRM within Ghana’s climate policy framework and decision-making processes.

‎“We believe that coming together to take a critical look at this initiative could provide more clarity,” she said. “As Africans, we believe in African-based solutions that work in harmony with nature to combat the climate crisis. With collective responsibility as Ghanaian and as a continent, we can create solutions that reflect our realities.”

‎



‎Participants also shared their concerns with the media, highlighting the possible negative impacts of geoengineering on Ghana’s environment if adopted without careful evaluation. They emphasized that efforts to fight climate change should align with protecting natural ecosystems and stopping harmful practices such as illegal mining (galamsey), which continues to damage water bodies, farmlands, and biodiversity.

‎



‎The engagement reaffirmed the need for inclusive dialogue and African-led climate strategies that prioritize sustainability.
