Corpses in the street being eaten by cats. Children's last breaths, their bodies torn apart. The footage is there for the world to see. Our leaders will never be able to claim that they didn't know what was going on in #Gaza, just that they didn't care enough to try to stop it.

[Rhiannon Williams @_rhiannonw]

Using @EPA figures, but the GHG emissions are equivalent to taking 137m passenger vehicles off the road - that is 50% of the US' cars! That's massive.

[Climate Group @ClimateGroup]

This translates into:
✅Cutting the equivalent emissions of 137 million vehicles per year
✅Protecting public health - avoiding 1000+ premature deaths in 2030
✅Providing flexibility for power companies to implement the transition while protecting reliability and consumer cost

[Rhiannon Williams @_rhiannonw]

New @EPA proposals would radically reduce fossil fuel emissions in the US - could be v significant for the US hitting its targets - and keeping the rest of the world on track to net zero. Plus would reduce pollution in communities who have suffered the most from power plants.

[Climate Group @ClimateGroup]

The US @EPA proposed pollution standards for new & existing fossil fuel fired power plants are a huge step forward for global climate action. Hundreds of our @theRE100 companies across the US and world are driving market demand and standing up for action like this on clean energy

[Rhiannon Williams @_rhiannonw]

“Climate Group’s North American work is focused on the implementation of the US’s massive and historic climate investments of the last 2 years. Today that is our primary focus. Time to roll up your sleeves”
Rallying cry from @abarranco at US Climate Action Summit

[Climate Group @ClimateGroup]

Detailed discussion of how to best access vital climate funding feels very relevant this morning after @POTUS State of the Union speech where the IRA and BIL had such central focus. Great to see states and regions get to work!

[Rhiannon Williams @_rhiannonw]

@camtyox I bought a fidget ring from Etsy which helped so much - one with three little textured spinners to fuss/needle at - will DM you the link!

[Frank Bainimarama @JVBainimaramafj]

Is this the future we fought for under the Glasgow Pact?

Fossil fuels should be phased OUT - not up.

[Climate Group @ClimateGroup]

Climate Group is opposed to the UK Government's approval of the new coal mine in Whitehaven, Cumbria.

We're clear, the trajectory of the steel industry is towards net zero. As the new coal mine seeks to supply the UK steel industry, it's in direct conflict to this. #SteelZero

[Climate Group @ClimateGroup]

Excited to hear about the ambitious climate policies being driven forward in Midwest states, like Under2 Coalition member Minnesota prioritizing a clean energy bill. This fresh momentum for climate action post midterms is vital to implementing net zero policies at State level.

[Climate Group @ClimateGroup]

After a successful #ClimateWeekNYC, we're back driving climate momentum at the US Climate Action Summit on April 19, 2023.

For the second year, we're uniting key leaders in business, politics and advocacy in Washington DC to drive US climate action during #EarthWeek.

[Climate Group @ClimateGroup]

We're excited to see @POTUS announce new climate policies at #COP27. Each of these policies addresses global areas of critical need.

Methane emission reductions and a sustainable federal supply chain are a "strong foundation for durable, resilient economic growth"

[Rhiannon Williams @_rhiannonw]

Biden at #COP27 - "We're proving a good climate policy is good economic policy. It's a strong foundation for a durable, resilient economic growth, and it’s driving progress around the world." Promises US will meet its emissions reduction goals by 2030

[Climate Group @ClimateGroup]

Congratulations to our Under2 Coalition members reelected this week, including our North American co-chair @GavinNewsom, new climate-leading governors, and other leaders-elect who are driving change on climate – we are excited to work with you! https://t.co/JyroLKqpSJ
