Shell is suing Greenpeace for millions of dollars because they dared to challenge their reckless oil expansion plans. Sign the open letter expressing our outrage at Shell’s intimidation lawsuit - every signature counts! https://t.co/hTct1SU2Q4

Hundreds marching for climate justice in Newcastle today.

[Climate Action Newcastle @ClimateNCL]

A great crowd gathered at Newcastle Civic Centre for the rally to speak up for climate justice.

[Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative @fossiltreaty]

📣 BREAKING: More than 1,770 fossil fuel lobbyists attend #COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan.

New analysis from #KickBigPollutersOut finds that there are more Big Polluter representatives at COP29 than there are delegates from the ten most climate-vulnerable nations.

This is outrageous, and Big Polluter interference will cost millions of people their homes, livelihoods, and lives. We need to #WeedOutTheSnakes NOW!
🌡️ Global temperatures and greenhouse gas emissions are at all-time highs.

So why are 1770+ of fossil fuel lobbyists being given access to #COP29?

Big Polluters shouldn't get to dictate the terms of climate action after setting the planet on fire. We need:
➡️People In
⚠️#PollutersOut
✅An Accountability Framework to protect the talks from industry interference

We must #WeedOutTheSnakes and #KickBigPollutersOut NOW!
