Las falsas soluciones no van a resolver una crisis real 💥 📣 En uno de nuestros últimos documentos de posición sostenemos que la minería para la llamada “transición verde” no está reemplazando a los combustibles fósiles: se está integrando a ellos. 🧵👇

🌍 Across different territories around the world, communities are facing militarisation, criminalisation, mining expansion and new forms of extractivism promoted under the discourse of a “green transition”. 🧵👇

Militarización, criminalización, expansión minera y falsas soluciones climáticas. Aunque muchas veces aparecen como conflictos aislados, comunidades de distintos territorios del mundo vienen denunciando patrones cada vez más similares. 🧵👇

🔎 Durante décadas, Haití fue presentado como un país “sentado sobre una mina de oro”, con un subsuelo lleno de minerales "estratégicos". Pero detrás de esa narrativa hay más incertidumbres que certezas: no hay información concluyente sobre la magnitud real de esos recursos. 🧵👇

Llegamos al último posteo de nuestra serie “La militarización es extracción: de las minas a los misiles”. A lo largo de estos posteos, seguimos el rastro de cómo el extractivismo y la militarización están profundamente entrelazados. 🧵👇

🔥 A world organised around endless growth is pushing people and ecosystems beyond their limits. What if we organised work, production and wealth differently. Around care, dignity and collective wellbeing? 🌱✊🏽

🔥 La ilusión de un mundo con crecimiento ilimitado está llevando a las personas y a los ecosistemas más allá de sus límites. ¿Y si organizáramos el trabajo, la producción y la riqueza de otra manera, en torno al cuidado, la dignidad y el bienestar colectivo? 🌱✊🏽

📣 Over 340 civil society organisations from more than 50 countries are calling on governments to free themselves from ISDS — a little-known system that allows corporations to sue states in tribunals outside national legal systems. 🧵👇

As the 1st Conference on Transitioning Away From Fossil Fuels is about to start, a major yet little-known blocker needs attention: #ISDS ISDS lets big polluters sue states over climate action, sabotaging the just transition we need. +300 organisations agree: it's a threat to our collective future👇

Too often, “transition” is reduced to new technologies or new markets. But the real question is deeper: what kind of future are we building, and who is it for? A just transition must be measured by its ability to sustain life. 🧵👇

🚨 A new 4,000-acre industrial hub planned under the Luzon Economic Corridor is being promoted as a project for “economic security” and “development.” But behind those promises lies a deeper integration of the Philippines into US critical minerals and war-production supply chains. 🧵👇

For decades, climate policy has been framed as a technical swap: fossil fuels out, minerals in. But if extraction keeps expanding overall, the model has not changed — only its branding has. 🧵👇

📣 A public inquiry into the proposed gold mine in the Sperrins — supposedly for the public, but not giving them time or opportunity to respond to key evidence 🧵👇

Haití suele aparecer en las noticias como sinónimo de crisis, violencia o pobreza 🇭🇹 Pero esa imagen deja afuera una pregunta clave: ¿cómo se construyó esa realidad?

¿Qué pasa cuando avanza la minería? 🤔 🚨 En muchos territorios, no llega sola. Llega con fuerzas armadas, policías militarizadas, seguridad privada y redes de violencia que protegen intereses extractivos. Sigue 👇
