The @WHO just sent a strong message that it will not abide the tobacco industry using one pandemic to deepen another.

@MedicagoInc would do well to expedite any discussions around PMI selling-off its share.

We are employees of The Public Interest Network (TPIN) working together for more-than-living wages, an equitable social change movement, and a sustainable culture within our organization. That’s why we’ve filed for union recognition with @OPEIU to represent staff in all branches.

As an extremely disappointing #COP26 ends without any meaningful commitments from rich countries & corporate polluters, we must reject their false solutions & "net zero" smokescreens. Frontline communities need real zero, emissions reductions & a just transition. @StopCorpAbuse

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

As #cop26 winds down, people are finally forcing the conversation towards loss and damage, and it's about time. This is a powerful video

[War on Want @WarOnWant]

You might have noticed a flurry of announcements every day at #COP26. It isn't unprecedented action. It's an illusion.

Rather than embedding plans in legally-binding agreements among countries, unenforceable commitments are being made in press conferences. #GreenWash

“a fundamentally illegitimate global summit in which the voices of those least responsible for climate change & most vulnerable to its impacts are effectively silenced…” Those are some of my words in this op-ed.

[Nick Guroff @nickguroff]

The "other COP" this week made critical progress in funding global tobacco control, but it's not enough.

Countries, advocates press to hold Big Tobacco liable for its harms to close the global funding gap. via @Devex

Honestly so fed up with the lies and spin from rich countries that I decided to rip up my speech about the #COP26 cover decision at today’s high level segment & bring the message from @COP26_Coalition into the halls instead

[Ari Rubenstein @AriRubenstein]

@aderonkeige @AlokSharma_RDG 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 yes. this!

[ADERONKE IGE @aderonkeige]

With #COP26 wrapping up, we and other climate justice activists have a message for @AlokSharma_RDG and world governments:
#ClimateAction means rejecting #BigPolluter schemes like carbon markets, paying up for #LossAndDamage, and advancing real solutions like making #PollutersPay!

[Friends of the Earth International @FoEint]

3/ 🚫 We don't have any more time to waste on fairy tales and empty promises!🚫 #CarbonMarkets and distant #NetZero pledges will not deliver the deep and justice-centred energy transition we urgently need. At #COP26 we say #NoCarbonMarkets, no #NetZero. No more carbon unicorns!🦄

[Friends of the Earth International @FoEint]

2/ In reality, #CarbonMarkets are dangerous. They delay real #climate action & emissions cuts, and spell landgrabs & #HumanRights violations for global south communities. The way #COP26 talks are currently going, a markets agreement risks an actual rise in emissions.

[Friends of the Earth International @FoEint]

1/ #CarbonMarkets allow countries and corporations to continue polluting on the pretext of reducing emissions elsewhere - through tree planting, carbon credits or pursuing unproven technologies to suck carbon out of the air. It sounds like a magical solution BUT it's not!

[Corporate Accountability @StopCorpAbuse]

At least 500 fossil fuel lobbyists have officially been granted access to #COP26 -- more than any other country delegation so far.

⬇️ TAKE ACTION NOW ⬇️
Call the U.S. delegation now and demand that they make #BigPolluters pay for the climate crisis!

[Corporate Accountability @StopCorpAbuse]

NEW: Did you know that there are more fossil fuel lobbyists at #COP26 than delegates from 8 countries most affected by climate change?

We've been analyzing the #COP26 guestlist with @Global_Witness, @corporateeurope, and @Ggow_COP. Here's what we found. https://t.co/zTcegcfDke

[Corporate Accountability @StopCorpAbuse]

WATCH: @aderonkeige of @CAPPAfrica speaking on #VaccineApartheid and staggering lack of civil society access at #COP26

She says: "It is obvious that priority is being given to government elites and evil corporations and their delegates above the people."

[C A P P A @CAPPAfrica]

Our climate Justice activist @aderonkeige together with global climate Justice, Allie @gcdcj made their voices heard. No carbon markets only #RealSolutions #COP26

@UNFCCC @AGNChairUNFCCC

[Global Campaign to Demand Climate Justice (DCJ) @gcdcj]

No Carbon Markets! No False solutions!
DCJ members voices inside the COP today

[Yeb Saño #ClimateJustice @YebSano]

If you're at #COP26, pay attention to the Article6 negotiations, because the fossil fuel industry honchos are pulling strings to make sure the rules favour them and that the carbon market is setup the way they would like it. Atrocious.
