Over the moon! Huge congratulations to the best team ever - Gavin Northover @jasonporthouse @IzzySasada @areeshakl Ciara Richmond. Thank you so much @coveringclimate for spotlighting our story about how #climatelitigation can hold polluters to account & force systemic change.

The fossil fuel industry is at the heart of the climate crisis.

The problem is not simply fossil fuel emissions. It’s fossil fuels—period.

Countries must progressively phase them out, moving to leave oil, coal & gas in the ground—and massively boost renewable investments.

Nelita Campos is the last lucid native speaker of the Iskonawa language.

At 75 or so, she's been working with @zariquiey_ling to preserve it.

Always thrilled to see stories recognizing the hard work miners and others are doing to advance #ResponsibleMining in their communities. These efforts are critical to #MakeMercuryHistory in small-scale gold mining!

[Global Americans @GlobalAmericans]

"The shaking table separates the precious metal without the need for mercury, traditionally used to separate gold, which should reduce the health and environmental risks associated with mining," notes @IzzySasada for @guardian.

Namibia’s first peoples struggle to access their traditional lands:

Research suggests that program-managed natural resources often benefit traders, herders, and trophy-hunting guides more than the Indigenous peoples, writes @IzzySasada in this op-ed.
