🚨Breaking 🚨: Trump just announced that he will withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement for the second time. Though imperfect, the Paris Agreement is one of the best tools the world has to ensure global cooperation to curb the impacts of the climate crisis.
1/5 Trump's Day One executive orders are a full-scale assault on climate action, delivering returns on the $75 million fossil fuel companies spent to elect him. Our statement: https://t.co/9mzEmpkhaS
And 🧵
These are Biden’s final weeks in office. He must have the political courage to go beyond low-hanging fruit & act meaningfully to #EndFossilFuels.
@POTUS can do that! Deny permits for pending LNG export terminals + TX GulfLink, shut down DAPL, & end fossil fuels finance abroad.
NEW REPORT from @SOMO: Israel's energy sector raises legal risks for companies & states. Foreign fuel supplies & investments may contribute to international law violations in Palestine. Companies must review engagement or face potential complicity. Read: https://t.co/hAbNH8PFHr
NEW 🚨: The UK government is finally being forced to seriously look at the massive harm that new North Sea oil and gas drilling is doing to our climate – and it is asking for our views.
This is it: this is our moment to call time on new drilling.

A historic deal to shift $41 billion per year out of fossil fuels to clean energy could be agreed tomorrow IF Türkiye stops blocking. @RTErdogan, @HMBakanligi - Türkiye must join with other countries & agree on an OECD deal to #StopFundingFossils: https://t.co/Dd6vj15zIp

.@WBHoekstra: this sounds a little tone deaf? Were you just in the same plenary as I was? Very clear from interventions by Cuba, India, Bolivia, Nigeria, Malawi, Pakistan that this deal is far removed from what's needed. EU failed to put any meaningful offer on the table in Baku.
The climate finance deal at #COP29 is a scam. Rich countries are creating debt traps for the Global South instead of paying their fair share. The US, EU & UK show sickening indifference while millions pay with their lives. Read our response: https://t.co/944x1nVzew
🧵 BREAKING: New COP text is a massive letdown on climate finance. A vague $1.3T investment target not to be relied on and $250B that creates MORE debt for vulnerable nations. Here's our response... 1/5
https://t.co/PNTboFTtHf
🚨 New #COP29 text: handing the firetruck keys to arsonists. A vague $1.3T target with no teeth+ $250B in debt-creating finance+ 0 commitment to end fossil fuel handouts. Rich countries = dodging climate responsibilities + vulnerable nations pay the price https://t.co/PNTboFTtHf

@DukgeunAhn
- join other countries, stop blocking an agreement.
⚡NEW ANALYSIS⚡As negotiators work to set a new climate finance goal at #COP29Baku our analysis shows why we can’t accept tried and failed private-led approaches. We need good quality grants-based public finance, not more private sector debt.

Big words and big targets expected from UK today.
At @PriceofOil we will be looking for big action plans to make these words and targets actually mean something 👀
