Before the #COVID19 pandemic, the tide was slowly turning in the fight against #PlasticPollution.
The escalating use of throwaway plastics risks undermining that progress.
Let’s #BreakFreeFromPlastic and protect people & the planet with reusable face masks.
Japan still has a lot of work to do to get out of the climate laggard list.
Coal’s share in power generation has risen. Targets adopted are feeble – coal's still more than a quarter of the mix by 2030. Japan also promotes coal plants abroad 🤷🏽♀️ https://t.co/QDk5wqrldu
The #CoalPolicyTool by @ReclaimFinance shows that these megabanks haven’t even started excluding coal clients. As the Europeans close the door on general purpose loans, high-tech Japan will be the last one financing dirty old European coal.
🇯🇵's @mizuhobank@smbc_midosuke & @mufgbk_official handed European coal corporations €1.9 billion between November 2018 and December 2019. Along with the European & US banks, Japan is jeopardising Europe's 2030 coal phase-out.
Today @EurBeyondCoal, @gpj_english, & 350Japan launched a follow-up to ‘Fool’s Gold’ - a report detailing how much Japan's megabanks have propped up the European coal industry since the @IPCC_CH 1.5 degree C special report. 👉 https://t.co/pKN0pBZwaj
I spent this morning talking to Japanese journos with @profundoNL and @ReclaimFinance trying to explain why the megabanks need to step it up or they will be complicit in Europe's failure to reach #coal exit by 2030. Thanks @HannaHakko-san and the rest of the @gpj_english crew!
Great tool for comparing how different financial institutions are doing in terms of stopping coal finance. Unfortunately but not surprisingly, Japan’s @mizuhobank@mufgbk_official@smbc_midosuke don’t get good marks with their current policies. Take a look:
The power companies analyzed in the report are some of Europe’s biggest polluters, causing huge climate emissions. We call on Japan’s banks to take responsibility and make sure their investments do not support coal.
The results are also available in the original English version of the report, “Fool’s Gold – The financial institutions risking our renewable energy future with coal”, authored by @KaarinaKolle : https://t.co/AzTG8t8EAd
#TyphoonHaishen, possibly the strongest in decades, is battering Southwest Japan. Authorities are warning of record rainfall, unprecedented wind, high tides & large ocean swells.

In Turkey this pilot project is using wind from passing busses to rotate wind vanes and #solar panels creating enough electricity to power 20,000 homes.
We have the solutions to the #climate crisis. Let's implement them

Temperatures in Siberia hit 38ºC this June, the highest ever recorded north of the #Arctic circle, according to the World Weather Attribution network.
It's time to turn down the temperature and join the #ClimateCareUprising!
