In the heart of the Amazon, for #COP30 🇧🇷🌎 The next two weeks, I’ll be in Belém advocating with @ciel.org and allies in the Human Rights & Climate Change Working Group for #HumanRights-based climate action, grounded in #law, #justice & #accountability. 🧵

🚨 HOME Allliance press conference on 10th Nov at #COP30 🚨 At #COP30, we’re seeing dangerous techno-fixes being positioned as “solutions” to climate & biodiversity crises. Carbon markets under Article 6 are opening doors to risky experiments to enter mainstream discourse. @foeint.bsky.social

At #COP30, States must arrive ready to go beyond words & targets. They must commit to a clear, coordinated plan to #PhaseOutFossilFuels within the next 20 years, with measurable milestones & accountability. Read the call by the Planetary Guardians 👇 observer.co.uk/opinion-and-...

🌍 There is no #climatejustice in a climate of fear. ✊Environmental defenders are risking their lives to protect our planet, while governments fuel the climate crisis. #COP30 must deliver #justice: protect defenders & bring their realities into the decisions that will be made in Belém. Read more👇

Arrived in Belém for #COP30, the first one after the historic climate ruling by the International Court of Justice ⚖️ @ciel.org will be on the ground advocating for climate action based on legal obligations and calling for a deep reform of the UN climate regime to make it more effective & inclusive.

🚨Breaking🚨 🕴️Just a few days ahead of #COP30, today, the #KickBigPollutersOut coalition uncovered that there are more than 5000 fossil fuel lobbyists attending the climate talks over the past four years. It's high time to #KickBigPollutersOut: www.theguardian.com/environment/... A 🧵

1️⃣ 🚨NEW plastics lawsuit just landed, targeting INEOS’s Project One in Antwerp. Why? This €4bn #Plastics project would cause 5x more emissions than INOES claimed — and drive serious health harms. This is #PlasticAccountability! READ: www.clientearth.org/latest/press...

1/ At COP28 governments agreed to transition away from fossil fuels. Two years later, fossil fuel production is rising & energy transition finance is falling short. Leaders at @COP30 must now turn promises into action. This is how: oilchange.org/wp-content/u...

AI’s soaring power demand is being used to justify new gas/coal plants “cleaned” by CCS. Track record: 88% failures, big costs, bigger delays. With #COP30, close CCS/offset loopholes and align NDCs with 1.5°C. Read: bit.ly/4pgcG55 Let's not power tomorrow’s AI with yesterday’s fuels.

The US announced it'll skip the climate talks #COP30 climate conference — they are using lobbying & economic threats to thwart emissions-cutting and environmental initiatives around the world. "The US is ceding global leadership," @nikkireisch.bsky.social. 👉 www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

🇨🇭What to expect from Switzerland at #COP30?🫣 “Switzerland’s credibility as a climate leader hinges on aligning domestic action with its international commitments. Recent setbacks in sectoral climate policies undermine this leadership,” CIEL's @duycks.bsky.social. www.swissinfo.ch/eng/swiss-di...

📣 Ahead of #COP30, learn how the Advisory Opinion by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights can help advance climate justice and #accountability 👉 bit.ly/3WF0SNt 📝 A new analysis by CIEL’s Upasana Khatri breaks down the Court's transformative conclusions. 🧵 Want to dive deeper? Keep reading! 👇

Acting on the #ClimateCrisis isn’t optional—it’s a matter of law & justice. Yet the major polluters still have no plans & no clear timelines to do so. #COP30 must be a moment for accountability, where States are held to their legal duties to #ActOnClimate. uk.news.yahoo.com/high-stakes-...

🛡️ #COP30 is a crucial opportunity to protect environmental defenders: bit.ly/47rtOyv CIEL’s @camillapollera.bsky.social explains why protection is a legal duty and how Just Transition Work Programme (JTWP) and Gender Action Plan (GAP) decisions in Belém can make it real.

"We know enough to categorize Stratospheric Aerosol Injections (SAI) as a dangerous distraction from our need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions." Read more in @solargeoeng.bsky.social's latest blog to learn why SAI is not a solution to tackle the #ClimateCrisis👇 www.solargeoeng.org/we-know-enou...

“We are not looking for charity. We demand justice.” 43 farmers from Pakistan’s Sindh region have taken a historic step: issuing legal notices to RWE & Heidelberg Materials over climate-linked flood damage. ➡️ 1,700+ lives lost ➡️ 1/3 of Pakistan submerged ➡️ $30B in damages

🚨New analysis: States are flouting their legal duties re. #NDCs. With only 64 NDCs (roughly ⅓ of countries) in at #COP30, few polluters on target, & many major emitters’ plans missing, the world is failing to prevent harm & keep warming below 1.5°C. unfccc.int/sites/defaul...

It's time to end #BigPolluters' stranglehold over the UN climate talks. +225 organizations are drawing the line! We demand: ✊ A polluter-free #COP30 and presidency ✊ Mechanisms to protect against #ConflictOfInterest ✊ Protection of the Amazon rainforest 🔗 kickbigpollutersout.org/Polluter-Fre...

News that Israeli-US start up Stardust Solutions has now raised a hefty $75m, plans to start outdoor solar geoengineering experiments as soon as next spring and appears to be working towards potential deployment this decade is major cause for alarm www.ciel.org/news/us-isra...

🌊 An ocean free of fossil fuels is key to halting climate change. Yet governments are coming to #COP30 without timelines and binding targets to phase out offshore oil and gas. 📣 To meet climate goals, we need a #FossilFreeOcean. Read the analysis by @bruna-campos.bsky.social 👉 bit.ly/4ok8tgi

What does the latest International Court of Justice's climate ruling mean for #LossAndDamage? 🆕 @lossanddamage.bsky.social's brief shows how the ICJ Advisory Opinion can inform the upcoming climate talks at #COP30 & beyond & help secure justice for those on the frontlines of the climate crisis👇

“We've become the sacrificial lamb for the world to have single-use plastics.” CIEL’s @soopajane.bsky.social joins Cancer Alley leaders to discuss petrochemical pollution & why its cumulative impacts can’t be ignored. @risestjames.bsky.social @descendantsproject.bsky.social 🎧 Listen

🚨 Stardust Solutions, a US-Israeli start-up, plans to begin outdoor solar #geoengineering experiments as soon as April 2026, aiming for commercialisation and deployment this decade. This accelerates a reckless race that threatens to put humanity on a path of no return.

New report by #FairFin exposes the hidden costs of Flanders’ #petrochemical sector. In 2024, 29 Flemish petrochemical plants emitted as much CO₂ as over 500,000 Flemish citizens. Yet they received EU carbon allowances, effectively getting paid to pollute.
