Without tackling ISDS, fossil fuel phase-out plans will keep hitting legal roadblocks. Fixing both is essential for a just transition🌍 www.sussex.ac.uk/research/pro...

ISDS has enabled fossil fuel firms to extract $80B+ in public funds and sue governments for rejecting new coal, oil, and gas projects🛑

📢 A just transition means phasing out fossil fuels and the ISDS system that protects them 📢 A new contribution from @kylat.bsky.social sets out why reform to the investor–state dispute settlement (ISDS) system is essential for phase-outs. sussex.ac.uk/research/pro... Quick 🧵👇

Sponsoren-Deals mit fossilen Firmen haben aber auch Risiken, auf die @freddiedaley.bsky.social von Badvertising hinweist. Ein Hochwasser, das das Stadion trifft, und schon wird die Absurdität, dass man sich von einem Öl-Konzern sponsern lässt, überdeutlich. Aber mit diesem PR-Risiko lebt der HSV.

Shell ist eines der Unternehmen mit den größten CO2-Emissionen der Welt. Trotzdem hat der #HSV seine Zusammenarbeit mit Shell im Sommer zu einer "Exklusivpartnerschaft" ausgeweitet. In der Pressemitteilung geht`s um E-Ladesäulen und erneuerbare Energien. Es ist ein Paradebeispiel für Greenwashing. 🔽

In a landmark opinion, the ICJ found that phasing out fossil fuels isn’t just a scientific demand—it’s a legal imperative. IISD’s @nataliejones.bsky.social takes a closer look at what the court said on fossil fuels + what it could mean for efforts to phase them out. @suspol.bsky.social

What does the ICJ climate opinion mean for #FossilFuels? According to the advisory opinion: ➡️Production, licensing & subsidizing of fossil fuels could breach int’l law ➡️Phase out standards vary with state capabilities @nataliejones.bsky.social | @suspol.bsky.social www.sussex.ac.uk/research/pro...

nice thread outlining @lslothuus.bsky.social's new article on a geopolitical approach to fossil fuel phase-out

⚠️Who should phase out fossil fuels first?⚠️ As countries confront the need to ditch oil, gas, and coal to meet climate goals, one question looms: Which nations should move first and fastest? @lslothuus.bsky.social offers a geopolitical approach to answering this question 🧵

The UK gov has just published new guidance for environmental impact assessments for oil & gas projects. Despite reports/industry spin, it includes a genuinely robust, credible approach to assessing the emissions caused by burning oil & gas. Let's take a look! 🧵 www.heraldscotland.com/news/2525207...

Our planet can’t afford a single new fossil fuel project — yet big commercial banks spent over $429 BILLION on fossil fuel expansion in 2024 — in some cases enabled by support from public development banks. We demand that #DefundClimateChaos now. See the report 👉 bankingonclimatechaos.org

Fossil fuel companies will try to sue states that ban new or existing production. When I speak with powerful actors in energy policy, this fear is a central concern in how governments think about the risks of phasing out fossil fuels. Here is an important intervention in how to reduce those risks:

The idea that new oil & gas fields are a key lever for economic dynamism in the UK is completely at odds with the reality of the North Sea basin's inexorably declining contribution to the UK's economic & energy security--not to mention the costs of escalating climate change. Some thoughts: /1
