Fossil fuel projects can't operate without 3 things: permits, funding & insurance. This year, people power convinced Chubb Insurance to rule out THREE major projects: Rio Grande LNG, Calcasieu Pass LNG, & the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP). Help us keep doing this work! 👉 ran.org/EOY

The #MahakamUlu region is 1.5 million hectares (3.8 million acres) of extremely biodiverse forest. This remaining forest is under threat by deforestation as forests get converted to palm oil plantations. Much of this deforestation overlaps with Indigenous Dayak territories. https://bit.ly/4aDeUXQ

"We relied on this ecosystem for thousands of years, and now we don’t have to ask permission to gather our foods and medicines there anymore" 200 years after displacement, 900 acres of land near Yosemite National Park have been returned to the Southern Sierra Miwuk people! 🎉 bit.ly/4rHuvM7

The annual #KeepForestsStanding report is out and the takeaway is simple: Brands are still not meeting their own deforestation & human rights promises. Lots of shiny policies, not a lot of follow-through. Of the 10 brands analyzed, NONE got higher than a "C" grade. More 👉 https://bit.ly/3KoVTxR

Rainforests regulate water cycles, supply food & medicine, and stabilize our climate by absorbing carbon 🌳 But they can also be our undoing, if we keep chopping them down. With every tree that falls, carbon gets released, making a natural climate stabilizer a climate problem. https://bit.ly/3MCsD7i

Just a short boat ride from Belém where #COP30 took place, resides the quilombola community of Menino Jesus. Like other forest dwellers, they lacked significant representation at COP30, despite being one of the groups most impacted by climate change & industrial expansion. https://bit.ly/4pKEajf

Outside of a #WorldCup event at the Kennedy Center: Bank of America continues to fund the methane gas buildout on the Gulf Coast, making huge profits at the expense of all of us, but especially Southwest Louisiana residents. BofA must SAY NO to financing big methane export terminals like CP2 #NoLNG

The UK & Netherlands just told TotalEnergies ✨no thanks✨ and refused a combined $2.2B in finance for the #MozambiqueLNG project — the first major financiers to walk away. Total built this project on human rights abuses & climate chaos. Now the money is starting to dry up. https://reut.rs/4pgIEhT

The LNG boom is out of control — but now there’s a way to track it. 🟡 279 new LNG terminals planned 🟡 $174B in bank financing since 2021 🟡 Emissions equal to the U.S. + EU combined by 2030 Banks are driving this crisis. Communities are paying the price. Explore the data: ➡️ ExitLNG.org

You might have deforestation-causing products in your home.👇 Our annual #KeepForestsStanding report analyzes 10 major consumer goods brands – including Oreo-maker, Mondelēz. The results reveal inadequate progress on both human rights and deforestation. More on #Substack: https://bit.ly/4aA9Sv8

Amazing news – the UK government has REFUSED $1.15 BILLION to TotalEnergies’ controversial Mozambique LNG project! This comes after years of resistance by local groups. This has a potential to set a precedent for other financiers, like Société Générale. #DefundClimateChaos https://on.ft.com/4ou4pcG

The final #COP30 deal dodges the core issue: fossil fuels. Governments refused to commit to a phase-out…againnnn. Climate leadership means ending extraction, not rebranding it! https://www.thenationalnews.com/climate/2025/11/22/final-deal-at-cop30-stops-short-of-commitment-to-phase-out-fossil-fuels/

During #COP30, Indigenous peoples from the Amazon rose up to demand an end to industrial expansion on their lands. One such project they were protesting was the Ferragrão Railway, which will aid continued industrial exploitation of the forest & threaten surrounding ecosystems https://bit.ly/4afm98d

The BBC breaks down #COP30. All in all, COP was what it always is: arguing over semantics and wording, with no real systemic change. 🙄 The real power was with Indigenous peoples of the #Amazon, who descended on the COP to make their demands and solutions heard. https://bbc.in/4ijDpLv

We can’t trade our way out of deforestation! Many leaders at #COP30 continue to approach forests as commodities to be traded – a “save this forest here, to continue to destroy the environment over there” mentality. Real climate action means phasing out fossil fuels. https://bit.ly/43Qt8AC

#COP30 activists' message? The Amazon cannot survive under the same financial system that is destroying it. While there has been progress in getting funds for climate reparations & resilience, there is little regulation for the TRILLIONS being poured into fossil fuels.💰💰 https://bit.ly/48kG0jP

This year’s global climate conference shone a light on a major tension: governments are attempting to respond to a planetary emergency while operating inside a global financial architecture that’s designed for extraction, not ecological stability or justice. #COP30 https://bit.ly/48akKxc

This week, Brazil’s Minister of Indigenous Peoples, Sonia Guajajara, announced declaratory ordinances for 10 new Indigenous lands Past recognition of lands has resulted in bans on mining and logging, and restrictions in industrial agriculture 👏🎉 #COP30 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1d0vekq12ro

This year at #COP30, global leaders have introduced two initiatives: the Baku to Belém Roadmap and the Tropical Forests Forever Facility. The problem? These initiatives do nothing about the TRILLIONS of dollars being poured into industries actively destroying our environment. https://bit.ly/4poVGJY

The US “dash for gas” is not only driving us further into the #ClimateCrisis, but also harming low income communities on the Gulf Coast. The kicker? These projects are not profitable! LNG has too many financial, legal & reputation risks. Financiers should back out now. #NoLNG https://bit.ly/3KcH6pI

J.P. Morgan says its adding “enhanced reviews” for Amazon rainforest financing. But does reviewing harmful financing actually stop harmful financing? According to the #BankingOnBiodiversityCollapse report, J.P. Morgan is still a TOP FUNDER of forest destruction. https://bit.ly/47NfBft

The 3 largest forest basins in the world are the Amazon, Congo, & Indonesia. It's critical that Indigenous peoples & forest communities from these regions are represented in global climate conferences like #COP30. These women leaders are leading the way for forest protection👇 https://bit.ly/47OWYYM

"There are more Indigenous peoples here in Belém than at any other COP in history. And that's significant, because Indigenous peoples are the guardians of the forests." -Leila Salazar Indigenous peoples and allies demand an end to industrial expansion in the #Amazon! #COP30 https://bit.ly/4nUqYqF

200 boats. 5,000 people. Indigenous, quilombola, and riverine leaders filled the waters of Belém this week to say: NO to Ferrogrão. No more destruction. Their message to #COP30: Implementation without justice for Indigenous & frontline communities isn’t climate action. https://bit.ly/4pbqihP

A boom of methane gas (#LNG) expansion projects in Mozambique has resulted in displacement, immense violence, and will have massive local & global climate impacts. Yet, banks like Chase STILL finance it. Learn more: https://www.bankingonclimatechaos.org/mozambique-lng-25 #BankingOnClimateChaos

Billions pledged. Forests are still burning. As #COP30 begins, we’re watching the gap between words and action—because implementation of policy without accountability for bad actors isn’t justice. Read our take: 👉 https://www.ran.org/the-understory/cop30-2025/

🚨NEW @PriceofOil report launched at #COP30: Behind the Barrel: An Update on the Origins of Israel’s Fuel Supply. Between Nov 2023–Oct 2025, 25 countries shipped 21.2M tonnes of oil + fuel to Israel, including military jet fuel. 🔗 behindthebarrel.org #BehindTheBarrel #StopFuelingGenocide

The rainforest is at a dangerous tipping point. Indigenous Peoples are protecting life in the Amazon. It’s time for the world to stand with them. Add your name to support the call at #COP30 to declare Indigenous lands free from all extraction. #DefendTheAmazon #TakeAction & SHARE! amwt.ch/~95o

The Tropical Forests Forever Facility promises large-scale finance for forest protection. But this initiative could fall short if regulators don't move to limit financing towards forest-destroying industries. Banks provided $429 BILLION to industries driving deforestation. https://bit.ly/47CaBuc
