‼️ BREAKING!!! 29 banks now rule out financing Papua LNG! A growing number of financial institutions are going on the record that they don’t want any part of this project – which poses serious biodiversity, climate and human rights risks. Find out more: tinyurl.com/5e2dajv5

Read that headline again What an utterly obscene state of affairs "The collapse in accessible homes for low-income families coincides with an affordability crisis that has seen rents soar, waitlists for social housing blow out and rising homelessness."

“This diplomatic platitude belies the grim reality: that friendship with Timor-Leste has always come second to Australia’s hunger for oil and gas,” writes Suhailah Ali. Read Suhailah Ali’s full piece on The Point: https://theaus.in/4r7WUdT

Who is first in line to earn billions from the U.S. invasion of Venezuela? 👉 Fossil fuel execs. But without their financiers - big banks - none of this would be possible. Let’s follow the money. 💰

Really cool case-study tracing the journey of gas from extraction to end use - "the data reveals that this sort of increasingly complex LNG extraction and transmission system does not add up to energy security or economic savings" globalenergymonitor.org/us-mexico-ma...

I want to take this seriously but it is deeply ridiculous Aust govt insists our massive fossil fuel exports are not our problem and so we must have no policy that reduces them, but also thinks the USA Saudi and Russia will listen to us about reducing exports www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Climate, gender & rights commitments at international financial institutions came under heavy fire in 2025, while civil society & affected communities kept up the struggle for justice. Read our reflections in this blog: www.linkedin.com/pulse/reflec...

ICYMI: TotalEnergies is the company leading the Papua LNG project. Last month, the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights made a criminal complaint alleging TotalEnergies’ “complicity in war crimes, torture & enforced disappearance in Mozambique”. More here: tinyurl.com/m4rnc7k

Miners exaggerating tax. Again. What's new is that this is so demonstrably false. Will they take down false ads? If you see this ad after today, please let me know. Debunked on @thepointau.bsky.social here, more below: thepoint.com.au/factchecks/2...

📣 BREAKING At least 531 lobbyists for groups that advocate for a misguided technology that prolongs #FossilFuel use (aka Carbon Capture & Storage #CCS) have gained access to the #COP30 climate talks. Read: sg.news.yahoo.com/carbon-captu... A 🧵

Today, the Japanese Ambassador addressed the National Press Club and promoted gas as an 'important energy source in the coming decades of transition'. Protestors called out this false narrative; in reality, Japan's gas agenda is locking Asia into decades of high emissions and locking out renewables.

‼️ NEW opinion piece by CIEL's Rebecca Brown and @lienvandamme.bsky.social for @climatechangenews.com ‼️ The world doesn’t just need stronger climate targets. It needs a fairer, faster, and more accountable multilateral system to deliver #ClimateAction. 👉 ciel.org/we-must-rewr... 👈 A 🧵

Why does the Albanese Government treat Japan’s energy security as more important than our own? Let's hope someone asks Japan's Ambassador when he speaks at the National Press Club today! My piece at @thepointau.bsky.social thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

#COP30 AGENDA FIGHT: Battle looms over which issues to discuss at COP30 (an "agenda fight") Proposed late additions to agenda: * trade * finance * deforestation * ambition * reporting Hence, now on 4th version of agenda (!) This must be resolved before negotiations begin 🧵 1/

The kind folks at Community Radio 2XX interviewed me last week about these actions and Japan's fossil fuel expansion agenda: www.2xxfm.org.au/shows/climat... (episode Oct 31)

WHERE'S YOUR AMBITION? In 2023 nations agreed to move away from fossil fuels. Now leaders of rich countries aren’t even offering to do the bare minimum. None have committed to phasing out fossil fuels. 👉 climatenetwork.org/resource/ndc... #COP30 #ShowSomeAmbition #NDCNotGoodEnough #NDCs

It doesn't have to be a dream, JERA – you could be the hero for Japan's energy future. 97% of JERA's current energy generation is fossil fuel-based. It's time for Japan's largest power company to be the energy leader Asia needs and deserves. #SIEW2025 #EnergyTransition

NEW 🚨Since the Paris Agreement, 4 Global North countries - the US, Canada, Australia & Norway - blocked global progress on oil and gas phaseout. While the rest of the world reduced oil & gas production by 2%, these 4 countries increased production by nearly 40%. oilchange.org/publications...

As part of global actions against Japan's Asia Zero Emissions Community (AZEC), people in Canberra, Sydney and Darwin called for Japan and Australia to stop using #AZEC to prolong fossil fuels and instead support a just energy transition. Joint statement here: fossilfreejapan.org/joint-statem...

New research from @oilchange.bsky.social: Japan has spent $5.2 billion in public funds on carbon capture. Now, it’s pushing its broken model across Southeast Asia to trap the region in fossil fuels and use it as a dumping ground for carbon pollution. Read more: oilchange.org/publications...

Since 2016, big banks have directly financed over $15 billion to oil and gas operations in the Amazon rainforest — fueling human rights violations, environmental destruction, and climate chaos. 🧵

New investigation from Climate Integrity: EY produced deeply flawed modelling for the gas lobby, influencing government policy: climateintegrity.org.au/aep-ey

"We find a strong possibility that Asian countries could increase their support for CCS through to 2050, risking a significant lock-in of unabated fossil fuels & stranded asset costs, let alone risks to the world achieving the Paris Agreement 1.5˚C warming limit" climateanalytics.org/press-releas...

Our new report with Trend Asia follows the money behind the Tangguh LNG project and makes key demands to multilateral development banks: 🛑 Do not fund #TangguhLNG expansion 🛑 Close loopholes leaking public money to filthy #FossilGas Read it here: bit.ly/Tangguh25 #BankOnRenewables #Indonesia

Tangguh LNG: Big project, huge risks⚠️ This #FossilGas project in West Papua has destroyed vital mangrove forests, violated local people's rights & increased emissions in a climate-vulnerable region. Who's behind it? ⤵️ Find out in our new report: bit.ly/Tangguh25

Since 2017, the Int'l Energy Agency has told the world the fossil fuel industry can reduce its emissions of toxic, planet-warming methane at little to no cost to itself. But industry keeps failing to clean up its act. Methane emissions are still rising in lockstep with production. bit.ly/47YXaVt

Japan's fossil fuel share of electricity generation has just hit a record low, dropping below 60%; underscores the fact that no new fossil fuels are needed to maintain Japan's electricity supplies. www.reuters.com/markets/comm...

As of 28 August, heavily polluting industries had lodged 22 ICSID claims this year. Across all ISDS tribunals, nearly $114 billion overall had been awarded to investors as of December 2023. In the biggest payouts made so far, fossil fuel companies have been the main beneficiaries

🚨 OUT NOW! Our new @science.org study led by @kohrathefog.bsky.social is the first to comprehensively quantify the health impacts of and inequities in outdoor air pollution exposure across all stages of the US oil and gas lifecycle: extraction ➡️ transport/storage ➡️ refining/processing ➡️ end-use. 🧵

Great feature of our Gas Empire report in Energy Tracker Asia: energytracker.asia/whats-behind...

👀 Something Japan and the #IEA don’t want you to see. 📣 New report by @oilfieldwitness.bsky.social, Friends of the Earth Japan & Oil Change International documents significant #methane emissions from #LNG and the serious #ClimateRisks across the LNG supply chain. 🧵 ▶️ oilchange.org/wp-content/u...

Japan & Korea’s corporate Gas Empire is costing Australians, essentially giving away a large proportion of gas for free. 💸 Energy prices soar 📈 while corporations pay no royalties & almost no tax. ❌ Uncover how Australia is enabling this: www.jubileeaustralia.org/resources/pu... #GasEmpire #AusPol

📣 🧵 Today, Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs filed a formal complaint against the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) for financing LNG Canada, a massive fracked gas project built without their consent on unceded territory in so-called British Columbia. ▶️ oilchange.org/blogs/our-la...

When the Albanese government has signaled changes in Australia’s energy policies, Japan & South Korea's fossil fuel interests brazenly intervene to keep the tap running. Our new report examines how the Albanese government is enabling this: www.jubileeaustralia.org/resources/pu... #GasEmpire #AusPol

OUR NEW REPORT: Japan & South Korea poured taxpayer-funded USD$20.5 billion into Australian LNG in 2008-2024. Yet companies reap the profits: Japanese companies earned at least USD$14 billion in gas-related profits in 2023-2024 alone. Learn more: www.jubileeaustralia.org/resources/pu... #GasEmpire

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.

I’m thrilled to have my first report with Jubilee out into the world today; I hope it’s an informative read and a helpful resource for advocating against Australian gas expansion.
