Too much focus on ‘fairytale solutions’ at #COP28⚠️

“Cop is increasingly a space where many people come in trying to promote technological solutions. These are no solutions at all, if they result in grabbing or poisoning land.” Sara Shaw via @Independent https://t.co/0h45rPkTiY

It's over 27 years since the Ogoni 9 were executed for fighting oil pollution by Shell in the Niger Delta. Four widows have been fighting for justice ever since, but their case was lost and they have been left with nothing. Help the Ogoni widows https://t.co/u1oSXcPfm1

#COP27 ended with a significant breakthrough as a special #LossAndDamage fund to compensate for the irreversible impacts of climate change was established. Yes we celebrate this milestone, there lie other issues that would further entrench Losses & Damages in developing nations.

The World climate conference #COP27 is finally over.
I was part of the powerful @FoEint family. Most of us left #Egypt. What do we leave behind?
A success for one (aka FF industry), a disaster for others (aka people). Where do we stand? An analysis thread. Read til the end. 1/

Marching for #climatejustice #systemchange and #humanrights at #COP27 as part of the #GlobalDayofAction. No climate justice without human rights! #WeAreNotYetDefeated

Big Polluters like @CocaCola are using #COP27 to greenwash their public image and pretend to be part of the solution. What's Coca-Cola really up to? 🧵

⛽❌EU must reject the upcoming proposal for certification of carbon removals, a false solution promoted by the fossil fuel lobby to keep business as usual.

"Rich countries are sleep walking us into catastrophe. #BonnClimateConference's lack of action is palpable esp. on loss and damage finance. Rich countries must ACT NOW." @Climatemouse - climate justice voices from @gcdcj give their verdict on #SB56 https://t.co/nw21aL5kOW

[Pascoe Sabido @pascoesabido]

Really important work. We desperately need progress on compensating countries already facing climate disaster (known as 'Loss & Damage'). But why is the EU standing by the US, who is the biggest blocker? Read more about the US' actions here:

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

Civil Society demanding governments to stop talking and to show results as there is too much bla bla and little real implementation.

[Corporate Accountability @StopCorpAbuse]

Climate talks this week in a nutshell... #BonnClimateConference #SB56

[Sara Shaw @Climatemouse]

Powerful closing action at #BonnClimateConference #SB56 with civil society calling out for rich countries ACT NOW on the #ClimateCrisis:to stop blocking #LossAndDamage; pay up #climatefinance and for #realsolutions not #falsesolutions

"#FossilFuelIndustries are involved in 80% (or more) of CCS projects. The driving force behind these removal projects is industry - this should ring alarm bells." @climatemouse

Just been chatting about Shell & Cambo on BBC Scotland radio. A few things:

1. The campaign isn't over! Shell pulling out of the project puts Cambo's future on the rocks, but we'll keep going until Cambo and ALL new fields are stopped by the government, for good.

[Sara Shaw @Climatemouse]

BIG NEWS! #Shell has pulled out of planned #Cambo oilfield in the North Sea. Congratulations @FoEScot @friends_earth @StopCambo With big polluter @Shell on the run Cambo is dead in the water. #StopCambo https://t.co/vHLOOxsyrk...

Big corporations, agribusiness and governments will likely tout 'Nature Based Solutions' at #COP26, but don’t fall for the disguise ‼️
Find out why Nature Based Solutions is a wolf in sheep’s clothing in our new position paper 👉🏽

@n_thanki 71% of current public finance put forward by rich countries is in the form of loans. And COP26 is about to hand the climate finance agenda to the private banking, asset management and insurance sector, thanks to the UK govt, UNFCCC and their carbon market loving Mark Carney 😩

[nathan @n_thanki]

#COP26 It should be mandatory to report that the $100 billion climate finance goal is:

a) per year
b) until 2025
c) not a reflection of true need which is in the trillions/year
d) still unmet
e) only going to be met possibly in 2023 and only if you count loans and other aid $
