Police have surrounded #Lützerath in NRW 🇩🇪 & are preparing to start evictions.
The village is all that prevents #RWE from expanding its city-sized Garzweiler mine.
If @RWE_AG gets its way 🇩🇪 will likely fail its climate commitments.
Brazil’s new President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has issued decrees to protect the Amazon & Indigenous people. In an unprecedented act in Brazil’s history, Lula created the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples “to combat 500 years of inequality.”

BREAKING: NYT reports a Supreme Court "charity" took $190,000 in secret donations from @Chevron when the company had cases (including Ecuador) pending before the justices. Other corporations also donated.
Horrifying. Why are these conflicts allowed?⤵️

Appalling. As fossil fuels destroy our planet, @Chevron and @Exxonmobil are reporting $100 billion in profits in 2022 after receiving huge public subsidies.
Biden: a windfall profits tax on the industry is critical. England did it – the US can too. 👊❤️👇https://t.co/HQTVgp5vlP
BREAKING: @Chevron is a global tax cheat as well as a global polluter. While the company refuses to clean its toxic waste in the Amazon, it paid only $30 in taxes on $9.1 billion in revenue in Australia.
Chevron might be the planet's top scam artist.

"human rights bodies have potential to act as an important mechanism to hold states & companies accountable for the human rights violations caused both by climate change & by actions adopted to mitigate or adapt to it."
“Compared to continuing with a fossil-fuel-based system, rapid green energy transition will probably result in overall net savings of many trillions of dollars – even without accounting for climate damages or co-benefits of climate policy.”
