Every year we get a clearer picture of the opportunity cost of our current path of austerity and war. Canada must step up to pay its fair share to the Global South, not as an act of charity, but as an act of unlocking climate action for all of us.

🚨New research🚨Rich countries can unlock $6.6 trillion for climate action by ending fossil fuels handouts, making polluters pay, defunding wars, taxing the super rich. There’s no shortage of $$ for action. It’s just in the wrong hands. #FixtheFinance ➡️ Read more: oilchange.org/we-can-pay-for-it/

Billionaire & fossil fuel company wealth keeps rising and so does THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE CAN TAKE BACK TO DO GOOD THINGS WITH IT 🦾 Since we first did this calculation last year the total has risen 24% (from $5.3 tn) (!!) @priceofoil.bsky.social #DrawtheLine #TaxtheRich #FundOurFuture

Mozambique LNG is a known site of environmental and human rights violations – and the US Export-Import Bank (EXIM) approved billions of tax dollars to fund this project without proper environmental review, economic assessments, or public input. We're taking them to court.

At Climate & Debt side event at #FfD4, @andrewlfanning.bsky.social highlights unpaid climate debt of Global North, contrasted with the debts of the Global South that are crowding out finance for health and education This is a world deeply out of balance, in terms of meeting human needs #FfD4People

Asked about downgrading Ecuador's credit rating following ending oil in Yasuni, a rep from Fitch says: "We're just a consensus funnel. It's not us, it's the traders, it's AI." The clearest case yet to regulate credit rating agencies & build public alternatives #FfD4People @afrodad.bsky.social

At FfD4 rich countries (🇨🇦🇪🇺🇯🇵🇬🇧!) have blocked the urgently needed UN debt workout mechanism that social movements & Global South governments are pushing for. But this fight is just starting! Join @oilchange.bsky.social and many partners to discuss the path forward at #FfD4People today in Seville🌄

We’re in Seville, it’s 41C, and world leaders are starting to arrive for Financing for Development.

@shereentt.bsky.social: "Climate finance MUST not deepen inequality!" Real climate action 🟰 Climate finance in public grants, NOT more debt-creating loans ✅We can pay for a #justtransition by: 1️⃣Making polluters pay 2️⃣Taxing the rich 3️⃣ Defunding war More in NEW report: oilchange.org/publications...

At NY climate week in 2022, a sr person working in philanthropy said to me "we need to figure out how to get the climate movement to push JPMorganChase to finance more windmills." It's been haunting me ever since, so we wrote a report & it's in @financialtimes.com c/o @alanbeattie.bsky.social🧵

@alanbeattie.bsky.social : "Official assumptions have been that each dollar of concessional public finance pulls in between $4 and $7 of private money. OCI finds that in recent years it’s only been $1.12" Tiré du rapport de @oilchange.bsky.social Ahem, "Billions to Trillions"

🚨 New report 🚨 “Private Fantasies, Public Realities” exposes huge gaps in finance for the #JustTransition. Weak plans are attracting 4-7 times less private investment than promised. We need governments to lead with public funding & coordination 🚄👩🏽‍🏭🏡 oilchange.org/news/new-dat...

While the G7 is (quite literally) burning, ahead of #FfD4 "many countries appear willing to adopt the declaration without the U.S." This is a much better blueprint for international cooperation 🚀🚀https://www.devex.com/news/exclusive-us-seeks-to-gut-un-development-goals-110276

UK windfall tax can fund switch to green jobs for North Sea oil workers – report

There was long this strain of hope that once people started to see climate change affect their lives, climate action would follow. It's not. I wrote about why for the @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social: climate change is tremendously hard for the naked eye to see lareviewofbooks.org/article/a-wo...

The fact that people who claim to be serious are still out here both-sidesing (or actively supporting) one of the most defining cruelties of our lifetime is brutal scar on the humanity of the western world

The US proposals would severely undermine the financing for development agenda. But there is a way to ensure #FfD4 isn't watered down to the point of uselessness: rather than using the customary procedure of seeking consensus, GO TO A VOTE www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Before the Israeli military’s genocidal assault began, the millions of Palestinians living there were trapped by these Israeli military 16-year siege and we were dependent on 500 trucks of aid a day.

Absolutely shameful from the U.S. But the UN development finance negotiations (#FfD4) are uniquely set up for this ✨. Unlike all the other global fora Trump is messing with, they don't give an outsized say to the U.S. or rely on consensus. The way forward is an agreement WITHOUT America.

"There’s an eerie similarity to Biden’s ascent. A center-right candidate, with no real answers to today’s problems, ekes out a small win by rallying voters against threats from the far right." We can watch Biden -> Trump happen here, or learn from it! climatejusticeto.com/2025/04/30/o...

We're celebrating Pierre losing his seat and the opportunity to form a full-on axis of evil with the US, WE'RE *NOT* CELEBRATING AN INVESTMENT BANKER AS PRIME MINISTER. #cdnpoli breachmedia.ca/mark-carney-...

the politics that dominates so many tech spaces is so boring and self-defeating: big tech is (kinda) bad and we’ll defeat it with rinky-dink open source projects that have no resources that no one wants to use anyway because we design them for us and our pals and expect non-coders to figure it out

Europe needs to stop buying toxic US gas and transitioning to renewable energy. They have the resources to do it, and no excuse not to. Plus, it would be a great way to stand up to the bullying, authoritarian US regime.

Its not complicated: How fossil fuel firms donated loads of money to Trump and are now reaping the benefits... by me and @ninalakhani.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

New piece: Elbows up? Here’s how some of the major projects we’re fast-tracking will help Trump’s inner circle. The solution is not to copy Trump’s “drill, baby, drill” approach and backstop these U.S. billionaires, but to build a clean, resilient future. @shirip.bsky.social tinyurl.com/5y3eb33m

This is a brazenly high number for a government who likes to say they're the first in the G20 to keep their promise to end fossil fuel subsidies www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/03/n... #cdnpoli

How will Trump's #tariffs impact oil, gas, & our climate? They threaten to lock in fossil fuel dependency & a cost-of-living crisis. Amid the volatility, it's worth remembering that true energy security & affordability will come from a just transition to renewable energy. ✨ bit.ly/41VOJXL

Does Trump want this New World Order??? @iliasalami.bsky.social & I chatted with @danieldenvir.bsky.social on return of mercantilism, and how America First may very well end up with America Alone. Global Conjuncture, Part 1: thedigradio.com/podcast/glob... Part 2: thedigradio.com/podcast/new-...

Here's hoping every government that's just been tariffed saw it made zero difference that the EU pandered hard to buy more US fossil gas. Working together against imperialist bullies to build public, fair, cheap renewables is the future, not fossil fuel trade wars🌞 www.politico.eu/article/euro...

Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free." - For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza. 23 and he knew to leave a death note.

⏰ Don't fall for this #cdnpoli tax break hype⏰ These promises sound like help for the working class but are actually regressive, benefitting high earners more and while the lowest income "see basically no benefit." @mark-carney.bsky.social, have some integrity and promise a wealth tax instead.

There's worse news & worse news coverage on Palestine in #cdnmedia outlets every passing day. This should be a major headline but it's nowhere to be seen. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/...

According to Chevron, we need more AI to extract more fossils to power more AI ♾️🤔 "AI data centers require a lot of power, so Chevron is using AI to help supply them with reliable energy." www.chevron.com/newsroom/202...

Let's be clear: it's Trump, Netanyahu, fossil fuel CEOs, & billionaires vs ALL OF US. We can't lose focus on Palestine. "Big Oil continues to look for ways to profit from the genocide and displacement of Palestinians: just this week, BP & SOCAR committed to explore for gas off the coast of Israel."
