[Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative @fossiltreaty]

🛢️ Fossil fuels are fuelling chaos, threatening our communities, nature, health, and peace. We need a bold global response to end the madness.

⏳ The time for empty promises is over.

🤝 Countries must cooperate and negotiate a binding agreement to halt the expansion of oil, gas, and coal, committing to a just and equitable transition to clean, renewable energy for all.

💚 Join us in calling for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty to protect what we love.

“We fly lots, & we say that we shouldn't,” says @DV_Jonas, a transport geographer at @ucl & the first author of the latest study. “We are hypocrites.”

Climate leadership means walking the walk, academics need to put their house in order & lead by example

⚡️ NEWS! ⚡️

1,000+ scientists and medical professionals call on MPs to listen to the science—back the #CANBill—and secure a liveable future.

The time for stronger, science-led legislation to tackle the climate-nature crisis is now.

This term, this session, this Parliament. 🧵

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

The children of Gaza just want the war to end so they can go to school, be with their families, and live out their childhoods.

This is not possible without a ceasefire.

We must continue calling for one loudly, persistently.

[Tax Justice Network Bsky: @taxjustice.net @TaxJusticeNet]

How did the superrich's wealth get so extreme? How does it make our economies insecure? And how can our governments use #WealthTax to tackle the problem?

Glad you asked! We just happen to have a Swedishly- inspired infographic to explain it all.

[Tessa Roberts @TessNRoberts]

@Ed_Miliband What is going on? This govt had such a hopeful start on reaching our climate targets, we were expecting better than this

[NEF @NEF]

In 2008, the last Labour government created the Climate Change Committee, the official advisory body. Within seven weeks of taking office the new Labour government has directly contradicted their advice.

[Tessa Roberts @TessNRoberts]

I cannot believe that this is still being allowed to happen. What else does it take for us to stop arming and enabling this?

[Prof. Hanna Kienzler 🧡 🇵🇸 @HannaKienzler]

Beheaded children held by parents and medics. A child whose legs are placed separately into a box with the rest of his body. Tiny bodies in plastic bags. This is what Israel's #genocide against children in #Gaza looks like. A genocide that our governments support.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

In this new paper we calculate the unequal exchange of labour between the global North and global South. The results are quite staggering. You'll want to look at this... 🧵

[Global Justice Now @GlobalJusticeUK]

The new government has a mandate for change. it’s time to demand the UK back a global exit from fossil fuels. 🌍

This is beyond horrific. New UK govt must block arms sales to Israel immediately, and use all leverage it has with international allies to stop this onslaught

If you have a vote tomorrow, please vote for a party that takes the climate crisis seriously.

I can't imagine what it's like to be a child in India's current heatwaves. Trying to study. Trying to sleep. Imagine a newborn in heat. This is coming to all of us @VoteClimateUK

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

Have you already experienced a heatwave this year?

Heatwaves debilitate children’s health and well-being and by 2050, every child on our planet – over 2 billion – will be exposed to high heatwave frequency.

We need urgent #ClimateAction.

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

The catastrophic bombing of Gaza must stop NOW.

Every MINUTE without an arms EMBARGO is increasing the risk of weapons being used to commit WAR CRIMES and BREAK international law.

It's past due the UK govt woke up and stopped ARMS EXPORTS to Israel, and all other armed groups.

[Tessa Roberts @TessNRoberts]

Tell us again @david_cameron why the UK has not stopped selling arms to Israel

[Tanya Haj-Hassan @Tanyaalih]

Horrific update from Save the Children today. This is tragic beyond words and a stain on all of us. https://t.co/J0lE0LHKJk

Inspiring to see all the people who turned out to demand that our next government takes bold action to #restorenaturenow

[The Wildlife Trusts @WildlifeTrusts]

Over 60,000 people here today shouting loud and clear #RestoreNatureNow! Huge thank you to everyone who has made it such an excellent day and called loud and clear for a wilder future 💚

[Tessa Roberts @TessNRoberts]

Unbelievable that people are living through this already in 2024. I keep thinking about what it would be like to have a young baby in near-50 degree heat, and be one of the many families who can't afford AC. And it's going to get even worse in years to come. This is an emergency

[Rituparna Chatterjee @MasalaBai]

I don't think people elsewhere fully grasp what's happening in NCR and just how hot it is. At 7am, the tap water is boiling hot. The sun hurts the eye. There's no night time anymore. For 24 hours the temperature feels above 40C. Which means during night the water is as hot
