The fight against gas expansion in the Global South is alive and loud at #COP30. Don't Gas Africa! Don't Gas Asia! Don't Gas Latin America! Don't Gas the Global South!

30,000+ people overwhelmingly wants World Leaders in Belém to deliver on climate justice! Saturday’s Global Day of Action showed that people power is stronger, organised, and louder than EVER! #COP30

As Week 2 of #COP30 begins, Africa is looking for real action. From adaptation finance to trade fairness, this thread breaks down what meaningful implementation must look like for African countries at this stage of the talks. 🧵

Africa’s Demands For #COP30 “At COP30, increase climate finance to support adaptation goals and just transition. The climate finance should not come as loans but as grants.” - Lindi Zwana, Women Energy and Climate Change Forum South Africa.

Africa’s Demands For #COP30 “At COP30, adaptation finance must take the centre stage. We want real investments in local resilience, community innovation and nature-based solutions.” - Ali Musa, Wells of Joy Initiative

Africa’s Demands For #COP30 “Climate finance must be grants-based and not loans-based, we are tired of being a cash-cow for them!” - Smith Nkowocha, Quest for Growth and Development, Nigeria

Africa’s Demands For #COP30 “The decisions made at COP30 should prioritise the lives of people on the ground.” - ThaboSibeko of Earthlife Africa.

Africa’s Demands For #COP30 “COP30 must prioritise real, absolute emissions reduction at the source over these risky and often exploitative offsetting schemes.” - Prisca Kajumba

Gas = debt. Gas = destruction. Africa deserves a just transition built on renewables and energy sovereignty. Say no to gas at #COP30!

Kenya 🇰🇪: How grassroots activists defeated a global fossil fuel giant. Inspiring frontline stories of #ClimateLeadership from @dontgasafrica.bsky.social @stopeacop.bsky.social @katibainstitute.bsky.social #ClimateJustice knows no borders @wfpha.bsky.social www.commondreams.org/opinion/keny...

Africa is the continent least responsible for climate change yet it stands at the front line. At #COP30 we must demand that fossil-gas expansion is off the table, and that real investment goes to renewables, adaptation and justice.

👻 Not all monsters wait for #Halloween. TotalEnergies displaces families in Mozambique, grabs land in Uganda via EACOP, and destroys ecosystems across Africa, all while spending millions on greenwashing. It's all tricks or tricks but no treats.

The climate crisis knows no borders, no privilege, no immunity. No one truly wins in a world powered by fossil fuels. #ActForClimate

what gas pipelines promised to Africa: ❌jobs ❌development what they actually brought: ✔️environmental destruction ✔️loss of livelihoods ✔️ displacement ✔️conflict the evidence speaks for itself. #DontGasAfrica

Prices and conditions of accommodation are driving out civil society voices from the Global South from #COP30. This year’s so-called “inclusive” and “implementation” COP is on track to see one of the lowest turnouts from Global South CSOs. www.climatechangenews.com/2025/10/20/g...

The fossil fuel industry loves to put its name on stadiums, but the flooded fields and crumbling stadiums tell the real story of climate inaction. Join us in calling on leaders at #COP30 to invest in adaptation now. Adapt2Win.org

The end of the fossil fuel era is already here! A renewables revolution is underway, and there’s no turning back! #EndFossilFuels #Actforclimate

If Yasuni falls, the Amazon bleeds. If Ogoni falls, justice dies. Environmental justice and sustainability are not just ideals but realities. #YasunizeTheWorld #OgonizeNotAgonize

A French court ruled on what we've been saying for years: TotalEnergies lies about its climate goals. The oil giant must now delete its “carbon neutrality by 2050” claims from its website or pay €10,000 a day. Accountability matters! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Peaceful protest is NOT a crime! Twelve student activists in Uganda remain in maximum prison after their fourth bail application was denied for peacefully protesting against the EACOP project. They were arrested almost 3 months ago on August 1. #StopEACOP

Resistance starts small but the impacts are life changing! The people of Lamu remind us what’s possible when communities rise together. Viva Lamu! ✊🏿

TotalEnergies financiers beware: the East African Crude Oil Pipeline is eating up money, nature and livelihoods. Our #EACOP Finance Risk Briefing is out now. #StopEACOP www.banktrack.org/article/tota...

BREAKING: Africa’s biggest emitter plans to make gas 11% of its electricity supply by 2039. And that’s not all, South Africa is also pushing to construct a “clean coal” demonstration plant. #DontGasAfrica www.news24.com/business/cli...

"We, the people of Lamu have defended our right to a clean and healthy environment, our cultural heritage, and our livelihoods against the threat of coal. We view this verdict as a great achievement for us." - Mohamed Athman, @savelamu nation.africa/kenya/climat...

#MondayMotivation: Kenyan activists fought tirelessly to stop a dirty coal plant in Lamu — and they won! ✊🏿 This victory by Save Lamu, backed by Natural justice, @katibainstitute.bsky.social, and the deCOALonize Campaign, is a victory for Africa. www.kenyanews.go.ke/court-uphold...

Fossil fuels NEVER HAVE and NEVER WILL bring prosperity and development to Africa! #DontGasAfrica

When oil was found along Lake Albert, it was meant to be Uganda’s economic breakthrough. But behind the promise of 'a breakthrough' is a story of military-enforced displacement, upended livelihoods, and exploitation. Read more about real cost of oil extraction in Africa👇🏿

Africa, this is what we’re fighting for: Energy systems that serve and uplift our people; not exploit them. Renewables are the solution! ✊🏿Fight for OUR future 👇🏿 globalcitizen.org/en/action/af...

For years, the fossil fuel industry has touted gas as a 'transition fuel', but what do the facts say? New research shows that the fossil fuel industry is not transitioning at all, owning less the 1.5% of the world's renewable power. How shameful! www.newscientist.com/article/2499...

Gas disrupts livelihoods. From farmers to fishers to market traders, gas projects destroy the very sources of income people depend on. Reject this false solution today! Sign the petition! #DontGasAfrica www.globalcitizen.org/en/action/af...
