The Geoengineering Moratorium
under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity
“Governments should recall that the United Nations had some of the necessary building
blocks to perform this function until 1993 when, after heavy lobbying from transnational
corporations, it effectively abolished both the UN Centre for Science and Technology for
Development (UNCSTD) and the UN Centre on Transnational Corporations (UNCTC) one year after the adoption of Agenda 21 at the United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro (the Rio Earth Summit).”
