The Canada-US fossil fuel relationship is different to EU-US but most of these demands hold for Canada too. Time to show you mean it about middle powers working together against US bullying @mark-carney.bsky.social

Just a reminder that @mark-carney.bsky.social has every opportunity to keep the 'Elbows Up' promise he ran on in this moment and stand with our principled neighbours. He's actively choosing not to. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2... #cdnpoli

Notice how the difference between now and the Northern Gateway a decade ago is the weaponization of Indigenous co-ownership? Economic reconciliation is the tactic of our oppressors, and comes at the cost of our traditional economies. Solidarity with the Coastal First Nations resisting.

At #COP30 the EU poses as champion of a #fossilfuel fuel phase-out. But it doesn’t need others to move first: it funds it, burns it, banks the profits, then points the finger South. That’s not climate ambition – it’s demagoguery. 👇Thread👇

@bronwentucker.bsky.social says: "GS countries can't leverage enough private finance for the transition with the pennies of climate finance they're offered. This approach has been pushed for years & the results are in. Energy transitions are driven by public funding & public planning."

1/ 🚨It’s down to the wire at #COP30. The latest draft text is shamefully weak. No mention of fossil fuels. No real finance commitments. Just vague adaptation promises. “This is outrageous.” – @bronwentucker.bsky.social bit.ly/3K2Ot36 🧵👇

@bronwentucker.bsky.social and @aygoswami.bsky.social on latest draft decision text at #COP30. "What we would need to see for a roadmap [on fossil fuel phaseout] to be useful at all is ... rich countries going first and fastest and real public finance." 🎥 www.youtube.com/shorts/qFUJ1...

@cop30brazil.bsky.social President do Lago was just quoted @theguardian.com: for a fossil fuel phaseout "you don’t need public money from developed countries". This is false & risks fuelling tensions in the talks where developing countries facing debt crises underline that public finance is key.

🚨 In the final days of #COP30, we need to be very clear: 📣A just transition away from fossil fuels needs public money, and rich countries need to pay their fair share 📣 The COP30 presidency risks derailing the entire negotiations by saying otherwise. oilchange.org/news/oil-cha...

4/ @bronwentucker.bsky.social: COP30 must commit to reforming unfair global financial rules to help low-income countries free up the funds they need for climate action.

"The same fossil fuel system that drives the climate crisis also drives war, occupation, and genocide," said @bronwentucker.bsky.social of @oilchange.bsky.social.

Of everything that could come out of #COP30, I am most hopeful for the just transition mechanism (BAM!) that has been hard fought by labour & Indigenous & feminist movements together. We just need @juliedabrusin.bsky.social to stop blocking it! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This morning @ #COP30: Indigenous land defenders blockaded access to the venue to demand real action to protect their territories ❤️‍🔥✊🏻 The best part is Total CEO Pouyanné was spotted among those locked out (and begging for anyone w/ photo evidence to come forward 👀)

A new climate finance report, launched by #COP29 & #COP30 presidencies, fails to deliver the promised plan to scale-up funds to developing countries. Rich govts must come to COP30 ready to deliver a concrete plan to provide grant-based public climate finance. Reactive: oilchange.org/news/baku-to...

The only “green” thing about the #COP30 Circle of Finance Ministers’ report is how much it recycles failed ideas. Gov must stop dodging responsibility: end fossil fuel handouts, tax the rich, cancel unjust debt, + fund a just transition. oilchange.org/news/ministe... #ClimateFinance

Today in WE CAN FOR PAY FOR IT There's literally so many levers global north governments can pull to free up funds for global crises including $350 billion in literal gold sitting in the bank. They don't because they don't have to. Our job is to force them. www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/i...

“It’s encouraging to see new national climate plans (NDCs), but the fact that they still fall short of the 1.5°C survival limit is a collective failure." Read our response to the UN Special High-Level Event on Climate Action: oilchange.org/news/in-resp... #UNSG

It's impossible to imagine multilateralism solving climate or *anything* while genocide continues. So these #COP30 demands are the bare minimum. Leaders from @lulaoficialbluesky.bsky.social to @mark-carney.bsky.social must adopt energy & arms embargos NOW 🍉 palenergyembargo.com/resources/pa...

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/

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.

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"

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...
