One-third of global human-caused emissions come from our food system — yet it’s barely on the table at ongoing climate talks. States at #COP30 must change that. ⛽ Fossil-based fertilizers and pesticides heat the planet. 🌍 It’s time to phase them out. Read more 👉 bit.ly/49R2VWd

Now more than ever, we need to heed warnings about overshoot pathways & follow leadership of Africa & Pacific calling for non-use of solar geoengineering. We urge our movement partners around the world to join us at this critical moment in saying: ‘Hands Off Mother Earth, No to Geoengineering.’

#CarbonMarkets at #COP30: What to expect? While #Article6o4, a carbon market mechanism, isn't taking up as much space as in the past, States might still fall for the #CarbonCasino. Rich nations & corporations are trying to gamble our lives, rights & the planet’s future away. A🧵

Today, CIEL & Climate Action Network joined 5 thousand people from 60 countries sailing on the rivers surrounding the #COP30 host city. The #AmazonFlotilla is not just a protest or a journey. It's an #IndigenousPeoples-led act of resistance, hope & empowerment: amazonflotilla.quipa.org A 🧵

Recognition of #IndigenousPeoples’ leadership & of their unique role in addressing the #ClimateCrisis must go beyond ceremony. At #COP30, States & the UNFCCC must guarantee access & meaningful participation & ensure #IndigenousPeople's right to shape decisions that impact their lands & lives.

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.

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-...
