“Withdrawing from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in particular is unprecedented and the United States will be the only country to have done so.” www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

Tax can be a powerful tool for realizing rights, but the U.S. govt has opted to instead protect the interests of large corporations. All eyes are on the still being negotiated UN tax convention, where states have the opportunity to enshrine a human rights promoting global tax agreement.

2025 has been an incredibly busy year for the @amnestybhr.bsky.social Team. Please take a look at some of our highlights from the past year. #Bizhumanrights [1/14]

Eyes on #COP30 crunch day: Urgently tackling the drivers of climate change, including fossil fuels and deforestation, and providing money for countries to adapt and to rebuild without debt - MUST go hand in hand. Humanity demands big steps and bold action.

Amnesty and many others insist that the right to protest be protected - not undermined - by the UNFCCC at COP. There is no climate justice without human rights. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Fantastic news from COP30! As Amnesty’s - & many others’ - research has exposed, fossil fuels harm the rights of hundreds of millions living near infrastructure, & the rights of billions affected by cimate change. The FF treaty is an impt & hopeful route to phase out. fossilfueltreaty.org/cambodialo

We joined 170+ organizations to demand the @UNFCCC reverse the impacts of their request to increase security forces at #COP30. #IndigenousPeoples & civil society are not a threat. The right to peaceful protest is essential to climate action at COP30 & everywhere climaterights.org/wp-content/u...

The juxtaposition of these figures on the high # of fossil fuel lobbyists at COP and the images of Indigenous protestors literally breaking the doors to get in exemplifies the injustice of climate governance. hhttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/nov/14/fossil-fuel-lobbyists-cop30

This personal and wrenching op-Ed about the cost of fossil fuels was written by a child environmental human rights defender from Ecuador www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

Fossil fuel projects around the world threaten the health of 2bn people

Amnesty International warns fossil fuel infrastructure is a 'major source of human rights violations' around the world.

The fossil fuel industry is thriving, despite the global commitments by world leaders to move away from coal, oil and gas. In our latest report, #ExtractionExtinction, we @amnesty expose how fossil fuel infrastructure is expanding at the expense of human rights. amn.st/60197VvTh

As COP30 negotiations begin, we remember the Ogoni Nine, and demand that this COP result in commitments to protect human rights defenders and phase out fossil fuels.

Amnesty leadership, staff and environmental human rights defenders will be at COP fighting for fossil fuel phase out, protections for defenders, and climate finance. Stay tuned for updates. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

This report reveals how the structural racism and spatial inequality continuing from the apartheid era are exacerbated by climate-induced flooding, which poses right to health and housing risks in South Africa’s informal settlements.

Amnesty International will launch the new Corporate Crimes Handbook at the UN Forum on Business and Human Rights 2025. Launch event is on Weds 26 Nov, 13:00-14:30 at the Palais de Nations (H Building), Geneva, Switzerland. and livestreamed here: teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-joi...

The world’s eyes are on Brazil as the host of upcoming #COP30. There is no justification for a state policy implemented through bloodshed.

Key powerful governments and industry have sought to sabotage the EU corporate sustainability and due diligence directive, which sets standards that polling shows Europeans want.

“These punitive welfare systems increase economic insecurity, erode trust in public institutions and leave millions feeling humiliated and abandoned by mainstream politics.”

Authoritarians seek to destroy alternate sources of power and authority - this includes the UN and their crucial work on human rights especially. Safeguarding those institutions is key to fighting rising authoritarian momentum. ishr.ch/latest-updat...

Climate change poses an immediate threat to the human rights of Pacific communities. Those who emigrate to New Zealand face visa systems that are not fit for purpose. Our new Amnesty report calls on the government of NZ to create humane pathways for migration. www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

Proliferating UNnatural disasters driven by climate change displace people all over the planet. This report looks at what such displacement looks and feels like in the Pacific. The Pacific may be first, but their fight is all of our fight. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ca...

It is time to seize this moment, to end the horror, to heal what can still be healed, and to protect what remains of our shared humanity Let us not falter. Let us rise. Our struggle to end Israel's genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, its cruel apartheid and illegal occupation is not over.

🚨A NEW POLL released by @amnesty.org & @globalwitness.org suggests majority of Europeans favour human rights & environmental protection yet @ec.europa.eu is trying to roll these back #EU #CSDDD #HumanRights #climatejustice 🧵 Full results here: amn.st/eupublicopin... [1/8]

Polling underaken by Amnesty and @globalwitness.org shows that the majority of most EU residents want their governments to make sure that business operations protect people & planet! Rolling back protections serves the profits for a few at the expense of the many www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

Banning words from government science reports is a hallmark authoritarian move. Authoritarians destroy public goods, alternate sources of authority, & avenues of dissent. Free expression is central to scientific rigor & collective action for human rights. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

Amnesty was honored to share the stage with our colleagues @hrw.org and a distinguished panel from @clubdemadrid.bsky.social to have a direct, practical conversation about how we can fight for solidarity and human rights at a time of global fracturing, rising inequality, and attacks on human rights

“Climate change is a con.” Authoritarians lie and peddle in conspiracy theories to undermine trust and reliance on any institution but themselves and their coterie. When it comes to climate, generations will suffer. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/u...

Great to see Colombia taking leadership on climate action by organizing first fossil fuel phase out conference. @amnesty.org endorses the call for a Fossil Fuel Non-proliferation Treaty www.amnesty.org/en/documents... #FossilFuelTreaty #PhaseOutSummit #FossilFreeFuture #ClimateJustice #UNGA

Amnesty is proud to stand with many many others in calling out the few who plunder the earth at the expense of the majority. Human rights are not for sale, nor is the planet on which we all depend. @erikaguevararosas.bsky.social

¿Sabías que el 1% más rico del mundo genera tantas emisiones de carbono como los 5 000 millones de personas más pobres? La explotación de los recursos de la Tierra SOLO beneficia a unos POCOS. ¿Vale la pena arriesgar nuestra civilización? bit.ly/3Igmex2 #PollutingElite

"Every conflict is ultimately a struggle over resources...Th(e) ability to enjoy essential rights and live with humanity is part of socio-economic justice... it is crucial to tie these rights to the political economy and the way things work at the global level." www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ca...

Climate policy should be led by communities harmed by climate change and by scientists - not polluters. Thanks to sustained people power, attendees at COP must now disclose who is funding their attendance, ensuring conflicts of interest are public. kickbigpollutersout.org/COP30-next-s...

Ongoing flooding in Pakistan has taken more than 800 lives. Pakistan contributes less than 1% of global emissions annually. But, Amnesty’s research also shows that there is more to be done locally to protect human rights. Sign our petition. www.amnesty.org/en/petition/...

@amnestynorge.bsky.social welcomes Government Pension Fund divestment from some companies based in Israel, but move falls short of addressing a systemic failure of its current ethical safeguards 🧵

Today’s opinion is a landmark moment for climate justice and accountability. The ICJ made clear that the full enjoyment of human rights cannot be ensured without protection of the climate system and other parts of the environment. Read more 👇 amn.st/63322fJEyw

History is on the calendar. Tomorrow: The #ICJ will rule on the climate crisis, a decision that could pave the way for climate reparations and human rights protections long overdue. Repost to stand with us to demand legal clarity and climate justice. #ClimateICJAO #ClimateJusticeAtTheICJ

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights' advisory opinion has affirmed that states have an obligation to take immediate, concrete, and positive action to urgently tackle the climate crisis.
