The Pacific island nation of Vanuatu said on Monday that it is drafting a UN resolution to turn a landmark judicial opinion on states’ legal responsibilities to tackle climate change from words into “political action”.

🌐 With #UNGA underway, States must uphold the international rule of law to prevent the continuation of genocide in Gaza. There can be no environmental justice while the universal nature of human rights faces such grave and flagrant violations. 🔗 Read our statement: bit.ly/3Iy1Bwi

A much needed & timely assessment of insanely risky geoengineering technologies by over 40 cross disciplinary experts

An authoritative group of #climate scientists have reviewed 5 prominent ideas to #geoengineer the polar regions. They conclude that these ideas are economically and practically unfeasible, environmentally dangerous & have major governance & ethics issues. www.frontiersin.org/journals/sci... 🌊🧪

This is huge. Africa is drawing a big red line, fighting back against efforts to normalise these extreme technologies. You don't fight pollution with pollution, you don't heal the climate by harming it in new ways. Its time for a Solar Geoengineering Non Use Agreement @solargeoeng.bsky.social

On ‘Smoke and Mirrors’, CIEL’s Mary Church @mmchch.bsky.social & @matrixlaw.bsky.social's Kate Cook expose geoengineering as a risky distraction from real #ClimateAction. It won’t solve the crisis and could make it even worse. 🌍🔥 🎧Listen: bit.ly/3IsCQ4j

🚨 Silencing dissent is a threat to us all. We call on all States to: ⚖️ Uphold obligations under international law ✊ Protect the right to protest ❌ End reprisals 🛑 Stop enabling genocide, apartheid & occupation. www.ciel.org/news/silenci...

A new direct action group calling itself 'Yvette Cooper' claims to have targeted Time Logistics for providing transport in Britain for Israel's Elbit Systems. Its message to the government on social media says, "if you want to ban Palestine Action, you'll have to proscribe Yvette Cooper too"

Palestine Action are acting in the spirit of the *obligation* to prevent genocide, in context of a deeply complicit UK Govt & clearly also Scottish political class shame on each & every one of you who voted for proscription or abstained ps **YOU CAN'T ABSTAIN ON GENOCIDE**

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, and I know I speak for millions of people up and down this country: We are all Palestine Action 🇵🇸

If thousands of us stand up and say "I support #PalestineAction", what is the government going to do? Lock us all up for "terrorism" offences? This is where we show them how solidarity works. My latest with the great @doubledown.news

UN rapporteur says tech firms and corporations profiting from Israeli genocide - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/un-israel-corporations-economy-genocide-report-reveals

We Are All Palestine Action. And louder, for those at the back: WE ARE ALL PALESTINE ACTION!! Whatever they *attempt* to legislate, we will defend dissent, protect the right to protest, and fight for people over profit: we will not be silenced, we will be ungovernable.

If you are not concerned by the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation because you think it doesn’t impact you, you are wrong. This is an authoritarian abuse of power by the government & it curtails all of our civil liberties #r4today

We are all Palestine Action. 🇵🇸

Our statement on Iran 👇 Yet again the US is backing acts of terrorism by Israel which threaten to engulf the region in war. Yet again Britain is trying to excuse the inexcusable. Raise your voice now. Hands off Iran www.globaljustice.org.uk/news/hands-o...

Today the UN climate negotiations started in Bonn. As we gather to discuss climate justice, we can't ignore Israel's genocide in Gaza & the States enabling these atrocities, incl. Germany. No climate justice without human rights - no climate justice under occupation 🍉 www.ciel.org/german-gover...

📢 "There is no #ClimateJustice under occupation". As 🇺🇳 UN climate talks #SB62 open in Bonn 🇩🇪, civil society & Indigenous Peoples stand in solidarity with the people of 🇵🇸Palestine, denouncing the complicity of all those governments that enable the ongoing genocide through their silence or weapons

Grateful for the opp to dive into geoengineering with Kate Cook on @matrixlaw.bsky.social ClimateJustice podcast As these extremely risky ideas unfortunately gain traction (inc with UK govt x-ing major red line to fund outdoor experiments) they badly need exposure to critical scrutiny

Fantastic piece highlighting how solar geoengineering is being pushed on Africa - and African resistance. Make no mistake - these dangerous techno-fixes are a deeply disturbing new face of colonialism.

CAN calls on leaders to ensure Israel’s immediate compliance with International Law, engage in the Diplomatic Humanitarian Convoy, open borders, restore the ceasefire, & re-engage in real negotiations for peace, dignity and justice for Palestinians. climatenetwork.org/2025/05/15/p... #Gaza #Nakba

Anti Palestinian racism www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

US-Israeli start-up Stardust Solutions endorsed a report presenting its plans to develop & commercialize a highly controversial & risky solar geoengineering technology 😱. This would be a likely violation of the de facto moratorium on geoengineering. 👉 www.ciel.org/news/us-isra...

Countries must reject Trump’s unlawful plan to “take over” #Gaza. Forcible displacement of Palestinians violates international law and amounts to crimes against humanity. No leader is above the law. We must resist early signs of imperial darkness.

There seems to be some contradicting language in its recommendation on governance. Online it reads governance for decision making. But in document, says governance for deployment - contradicting their emphasis on a precautionary approach. 🕵️‍♀️ This inconsistency could be incredibly unhelpful.

New EU Science Advice out on Solar radiation modification makes strong recommendations to keep the focus on emissions reductions and to establish an EU moratorium on SRM tech. 👇
