When #ClimateAction silences those most connected to the land is it still progress? In #Tibet mega-dam projects are promoted as solutions to the #ClimateCrisis. But as @sophiedrich.bsky.social CRI's Senior Policy Advisor writes in @thediplomat.com they come at a staggering cost: tinyurl.com/47c9v3us

Advocacy Director @lotteleicht.bsky.social spoke to @theatlantic.com about the ICJ's recent decision on #ClimateChange. Despite the court's decision, Leicht points out that the #US and the rest of the world are in “completely separate worlds” in understanding their legal climate responsibility.

ICJ ⚖️ is clear: States have binding obligations to tackle the #ClimateCrisis, protect the planet & #HumanRights of present & future generations. But, Trump’s US plunges deeper into #ClimateChange denial, deregulation, greed -shielding big GHG polluters & sacrificing rights, lives & livelihoods. 👇

The #ICJ delivered a historic Advisory Opinion on #ClimateChange that cuts through decades of delay, denial, & legal ambiguity. It did so with moral & legal clarity that leaves no doubt: states must act to prevent climate harm or be held legally responsible. Read our Q&A: cri.org/cri-qa-on-th...

No Indigenous Rights = No Climate Justice Indigenous Peoples protect vast lands and much of the world’s biodiversity, yet often face threats, displacement, and violence when defending their territories. (1/3) #ClimateJustice #IndigenousPeoplesDay

The #ICJ's recent Advisory Opinion concluding that the #climatecrisis threatens basic rights and that govts & companies (esp #fossilfuel companies) have a duty to prevent these harms is historic! CRI explains why and what this means for the future through an accessible Q&A: cri.org/cri-qa-on-th...

Following the ICJ’s Advisory Opinion on the Obligations of States in respect of Climate Change, CRI’s Advocacy Director, @lotteleicht.bsky.social, weighs in on what it means for global accountability and justice.🌍⚖️ Official ICJ press release here: www.icj-cij.org/sites/defaul...

CRI's recent report cri.org/reports/ongo... examines the impact on The O’Hongana Manyawa of Halmahera as nickel mining encroaches on their forest home. Mining giants have failed to show how they’re respecting this Indigenous community’s rights. #ClimateJustice #StopGreenwashing #FPIC

In a followup to their previous analysis, @climaterights.bsky.social‬ looked at the ongoing impacts of just one of the major nickel operations in Indonesia - the Indonesia Weda Bay Industrial Park and surrounding nickel mines on the island of Halmahera in North Maluku. www.yahoo.com/news/indones...

Good news! The Indonesian government has canceled 4 nickel mining operations due to severe impacts on the environment. Next they should look at the escalating human rights and environmental abuses at the Indonesia Weda Bay Industrial Park, documented by @climaterights.bsky.social.
