🚜 XR Oxford outside National Farming Conference 🚜 🚜Industrial agriculture has hugely contributed to UK being one of most nature depleted countries 🚜”The disintegration of biodiversity & spiralling climate disaster are a wakeup call in the face of our rampant greed and consumption” Pope Francis

Vigil for Lost Species at National Farming Conference ‘We were not demonstrating against farmers, who have crucial task of feeding us. But we oppose a food system that for sake of profits contributes massively to climate & biodiversity crises, undermines health, and increases social inequality’

As Pope Francis declared: “Creation is groaning!” He urged humanity to listen to the land itself, to remember that we are part of an interconnected web of life, not its masters

⭕️ The UN human rights office has released a major thematic report on Jan. 7, 2026 concluding that Israel’s rule over the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, amounts to a system of racial segregation and apartheid under international law. The report documents decades of discriminatory...

Volker Turk's description of West Bank situation as 'apartheid' marks first time a UN human rights chief has used term.

In the BMJ @gavinyamey.bsky.social & @jonshaffer.bsky.social argue for "a movement to organise health workers & scientists and the broader public into focused health justice campaigns that aim to democratise public health," building on @defendpublichealth.bsky.social & @standupforscience.bsky.social

Many thanks! Onwards and upwards!!

October: A French court ruled that TotalEnergies misled consumers over its #climate claims. Greenwashing is no longer risk-free. Courts are beginning to treat deceptive climate marketing as a serious legal issue.

September: Global investment in renewable energy rose 10% on 2024 levels, despite political backlash & rollbacks. Capital is moving. Even hostile governments are struggling to slow the economic momentum behind clean energy.

August: A high court in South Africa halted an offshore drilling project after a legal challenge by coastal communities, stopping Shell and TotalEnergies in their tracks. Another reminder: frontline resistance, backed by the law, can still stop extraction projects outright.

July: The world’s top UN court affirmed that international treaties compel wealthy nations to curb global warming. This is a landmark for #ClimateJustice, strengthening legal arguments already being used by activists and communities worldwide. ⚖️

June: Insurers continued pulling back from coal mine coverage as #climate policies tightened. Without insurance, new coal projects become unviable. This is quiet but powerful pressure, driven by risk, regulation, and sustained campaigning.

May: Delft joined The Hague & Utrecht in banning fossil fuel advertising in public spaces ✊ These city-level actions matter: they challenge the social licence of fossil fuel companies & treat #climate harm like other public health threats

April: Renewables generated a record 32% of global electricity in 2024, according to @ember-energy.org. The transition is no longer hypothetical. Clean power is already reshaping energy systems, faster than many governments expected or planned for.

March: The Dutch government ruled out gas drilling in the Wadden Sea, one of Europe’s most sensitive ecosystems. A clear example of environmental protection winning out over extraction, after years of public pressure to defend this UNESCO World Heritage site 🌍

February: A major report confirmed clean energy costs will keep falling in 2025, further undercutting fossil fuels. 💲📉 This isn’t abstract: cheaper renewables mean fewer excuses for new coal, oil, & gas, and stronger leverage for #climate campaigners everywhere.

January: A Scottish court ruled the Rosebank oilfield approval unlawful, a major legal blow to one of the UK’s biggest undeveloped oil projects. ⛔🛢️ Years of community resistance & legal pressure paid off. Courts are increasingly forcing governments to follow their own #climate laws.

This year has been brutal for the #climate movement. Rollbacks, repression, & outright denial, especially in the US, have made progress feel fragile & uneven. Which is exactly why it matters to pause & look back at what did move forward in 2025. Here are 12 real wins 🏆, one for each month 🧵⬇️

European weakness on full display by these horribly contorted responses from Merz, Macron and Starmer - neither condoning nor condemning US actions in Venezuela Such weakness only risks making the Europeans more vulnerable (ie Greenland)

The thing about being a "lifelong advocate of international law" is you have to have the courage to speak up when it’s broken

We've joined other NGOs in calling on the Israeli government to immediately halt its deregistration process. Otherwise it risks halting international NGO operations at a time when civilians face acute and widespread humanitarian need. https://ow.ly/cM3b50XR89a

TV stars including Dragon Den's Deborah Meaden speak on urgent need for action on climate crisis • Well-known faces like actor Mark Rylance and environmental campaigner Chris Packham have come together to demand a National Emergency Briefing.

Calais exposes our moral failure on migration. We can and must do better A visit to the French town’s makeshift migrant encampments made it clear that we need a new vision for the new year, writes Zack Polanski https://bit.ly/4b6qZVK

If anyone wants to complain about the antisemitic caricature of Zack Polanski that Mail published, their complaints email is a bit tricky to find 🙄, but it’s here (don’t bother with IPSO, they told me only the individual or representative groups can complain) www.readerseditor.dmgmedia.co.uk/contact

Heba has been in prison on #hungerstrike for 8 weeks. She and all the #Filton24 should be out on bail with all charges dropped. They are heros for having tried to stop a #genocide Protest tomorrow (29th) at HMP New Hall Wakefield WF4 4AX. Cars leaving from London in the morning.

Drax gets £1bn a year UK govt subsidy. It cuts down trees and pelletises the wood in Mississippi causing dust which damages the health of local people bit.ly/3LlCXAn then ships pellets to Yorkshire to burn and generate ‘green’ electricity. It is being fined and sued in US

Apartheid state Farage would restrict child benefit to "working British people, meaning a couple who both work 37.5 hours a week”. 450,000 children would plunge into poverty. Tories plan to restore the two child benefit cap. Children and poor punished. Silence on redistribution, corporate welfare

This is from 2023 I remember how good the service was for my patients before disaster struck - austerity, money wasted on private sector involvement and faux competition. We could go back, it was possible then, it's possible now.

For the rich world, adaptation is prudent For the poor world, it is survival The latest UN report is unequivocal: developing countries will need more than $310bn annually by 2035 They received just $26bn in 2023

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth. The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.
