A civil society win! After the Kick Big Polluters Out coalition exposed the huge presence of fossil fuel lobbyists at COPs 28 and 29, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) now requires non-govt attendees to publicly confirm their full alignment w/ the Paris Agmt and Kyoto Protocol.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS Ahead of #COP30, people power moves UNFCCC to take next steps to address industry interference. Non-governments must publicly disclose funding and if they are fully aligned with the #UNFCCC. No more writing the rules of climate action. #KickBigPollutersOut

“The voluntary carbon market is broken." A new study provides even more evidence that the voluntary carbon market system is ineffective when it comes to addressing climate change.

The meat industry is taking a page from the #BigPolluters playbook—partnering with environmental groups to rebrand beef as "climate-friendly." @desmog.com's latest exposé uncovers how this strategic alliance is helping Big Meat greenwash its massive climate footprint.

🔴 New research from @stopcorpabuse.bsky.social reveals once again that #CarbonOffsets are ineffective and prone to failure. The voluntary carbon market (#VCM) is sold as a “golden ticket” to net zero… but it’s just a license for polluters to keep polluting 1/ 👇

Rather than reduce emissions, carbon offsets projects in Kenya and Liberia have led to violence and displacement, creating more harm than good. ICYMI: New @aausa.bsky.social report dives into the real impacts of carbon offset schemes, particularly to countries in the Global South.

Reflecting on the upcoming #COP30 climate talks, lawyer and activist Pablo Fajardo of @udapt.bsky.social writes on the urgent need to end corporate impunity to truly address the climate crisis — and to bring justice to communities worldwide who have been deeply impacted by corporate abuse.

As part of the global movement to #MakeBigPollutersPay, we echo the demands of partners like CAPPA and @udapt.bsky.social for #Chevron to be held liable for the environmental destruction it has caused around the world—from Nigeria, to Ecuador, to Palestine, and beyond. #BoycottChevron

"Ecosystems, people, and the services that ecosystems provide to the most vulnerable people cannot be replaced." Mirna Inés Fernández of @3rdworldnetwork.bsky.social speaks on #ClimateJustice and #DefenseOfTerritories at #COP16 in Cali, Colombia last year.

The corporate takeover of the U.S. government was not sudden, and it was not driven by any one politician or billionaire. Dig into the true history of corporations and U.S. democracy--and what we can do about it--on our blog: corporateaccountability.org/blog/outrage...

Latest article by @desmog.com reveals how the fossil fuel industry is using cultural institutions to greenwash its business, launder its reputation, and ultimately block climate action.

The Trump administration's cruel and brutal immigration policies are not about keeping communities safe. The main goal? Upholding white supremacy and delivering billions in corporate profits to the private prison industry.

"We cannot entrust the VCM industry to captain the ship of climate action any longer." Corporate Accountability climate researchers Rachel Rose Jackson and Adrien Tofighi-Niaki on the fundamental failures of carbon offsets in @climatechangenews.com.

Major takeaway: 80% of carbon offsets assessed could not be relied upon to deliver emissions reductions. How about we focus on real reductions in emissions and production decline of fossil fuels? We need to stop pretending we can buy our way out of climate disasters.

The latest from @stopcorpabuse.bsky.social reveals how voluntary carbon markets (VCMs) are still failing - or are they built to fail? Worryingly, the EU is a fan of VCMs and its upcoming #ClimateLaw2040 is set to be full of offsets. It will allow big polluters to keep polluting. #RealZeroEurope

Today, governments are in Bonn for the UN climate negotiations 👀 They have the chance to tackle conflicts of interest and the fossil fuel lobby's damaging impact on the talks. @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu will you ensure the 🇪🇺 supports action on conflicts of interest? #SB62 #PollutersOut

And EU Commissioner @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu already publicly came out in support of an Accountability framework to tackle conflicts of interest, so surely the Commission is on board. That now needs to translate into action at #SB62 in #Bonn.

🔔 Reminder sent 🔔 60 organisations have sent a timely reminder to EU Climate Commissioner @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu calling on him to protect UN climate talks from fossil fuel industry influence at Bonn #SB62. 💌 Read the full letter on @fossilfreeeu.bsky.social. #FossilFreePolitics #PollutersOut
