Promoting climate & conservation solutions

[Ladd Connell @Ladd4Climate]

Responding to the Washington Post on their editorial "Degrowth is Deranged," check out my letter in today's Post on the Growth We Need: https://t.co/Qfp6fZWKTB. "We can enable economic growth while respecting planetary boundaries essential to survival."

[Stop Financing Factory Farming @S3F_global]

The industrial food system is the leading cause of biodiversity loss via deforestation and synthetic pesticides & fertilizers for animal feed crops. According to @UNEP, threatens >85% of the 28,000 species at risk of extinction. @WorldBank: #StopFinancingFactoryFarming

[Stop Financing Factory Farming @S3F_global]

Today we delivered our demands to the @WorldBank on behalf of 160,000+ citizens from 200+ countries across the globe & 280 organizations during the #SpringMeetings. Join us to demand stop using our taxpayer dollars to finance industrial livestock production. (EN/ESP)🧵

Stop Financing Factory Farming coalition (S3F) welcomes today’s Emirates Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems, and Climate Action: "agriculture and food systems must urgently adapt and transform in order to respond to the imperatives of climate change."

[The Big Shift Global @bigshiftglobal]

NEW: Our letter published today in the @FT questions @WorldBank fossil finance.

Fossil fuels are not the future.

Evidence shows pair­ing RE with long-dur­a­tion energy stor­age solu­tions provides a cleaner, more cost-effect­ive answer for most cases.

[The Big Shift Global @bigshiftglobal]

❗️Fossil fuel projects backed by @WorldBank - past & present - have caused irreversible harm to the health & livelihoods of local communities.

Their voices have gone unheard. Until now.

Getting to carbon-neutral also means transforming our agricultural systems. But @IFC_org and @BIDInvest aren't helping. See "International Lenders Continue Pouring Money Into Meat and Dairy, Despite Climate Promises:" https://t.co/ixzPx07qJ3

[Bank Information Center @BIC_Updates]

This @S3F_global report––endorsed by 18 civil society organizations, including ours––urges @EBRD @IFC_org @WorldBank @BIDInvest and @EIB to #StopFinancingFactoryFarming expansion and exclude industrial livestock from sectors they consider “Paris-aligned.”

[Ladd Connell @Ladd4Climate]

@S3F_global @IFC_org @the_IDB @BIDInvest for you too.

[Ladd Connell @Ladd4Climate]

@S3F_global The IPCC is clear on this: we need to reverse the trend of livestock emissions, and promote agrocecology instead. @IFC_org, @the_IDB, are you listening?

[Stop Financing Factory Farming @S3F_global]

@WorldBank own report recognising the "cost of inaction" on halting deforstation, biodiversity and habitat destruction in Brazil, largely linked to #cattle #ranching https://t.co/5Vlamdqw5w @4accountability @foe_us @InstitutoMaira

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

Ahead of the 🇯🇵-led @G7 Summit later this month, Japan’s PM Kishida @JPN_PMO is touring Africa this week. @ThuliMakama, @ndutagachie, Amos Nkpeebo & Daniel Ribeiro tell him: African communities want investments in renewables, not fossil fuels: https://t.co/nR7LLit3pg

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

🚨NEW🚨 175 organisations call on the @OECD to end all new oil & gas export finance - AND launch a joint position explaining how it can be done. 50% of OECD member countries already committed to #StopFundingFossils, and now the rest must follow. Read more: https://t.co/RB3ietkJ3e

[Bank Information Center @BIC_Updates]

At #AUSummit, Africa’s leaders must speak with a common voice and:
🔥Call out claims that gas is a clean fuel
🌍Label gas what it is… a dangerous distraction for Africa
🌞Call for rapid transition to people-centered, clean energy
#DontGasAfrica

[Ladd Connell @Ladd4Climate]

#IFC should take note and support more circular economy approaches rather than expansion of environmentally destructive monoculture plantations.

[Environmental Paper Network @WhatsNYourPapr]

There are already nearly 1mill ha #eucalyptus plantations around Três Lagos, in Brazil’s #Cerrado biome. There are plans to double that, & build 4 new pulping plants. New EPN report reveals how pulp&paper industry is transforming the region, for the worse https://t.co/fZ4VkW0IqM

[Bank Information Center @BIC_Updates]

Update: The World Bank can't follow its stated mission of eradicating poverty with leadership that doesn't accept the scientific consensus around climate change.
