#COP28 cannot bring about the ambitious action we need to avoid #climate breakdown if it is held in an environment where the host state restricts the #freedomofexpression of participants, has a track record of throttling civil society. @Amnesty#UAE#UAE94
Wetlands, rich in biodiversity, provide ecosystem services vital for the survival of numerous species.
Safeguarding these ecosystems is critical to meeting the goals & targets of the Global Biodiversity Framework.

Not only the #Ocean provides the air we breathe, but it also absorbs 30% of the planet’s CO 2 emissions.
Yet, we are literally killing it...
Ahead of #WorldOceansDay, we call on all countries to take urgent action to #SaveOurOcean!

Climate change isn't just about rising temperatures & sea levels. It's also reshaping the future of transportation. As we shift towards zero-emissions vehicles, we need to think of more sustainable solutions that can transform our transportation habits! #GreenTransport#SDGs
🌍🚫🧳Plastic pollution is a global crisis, impacting wildlife & communities. It's time for action! The upcoming international treaty on plastic pollution can pave the way for eliminating & restricting problematic single-use plastics. Let's protect our planet! #SDGs
Indigenous communities are at the forefront of the battle to save our forests. Through effective conservation, patrols & legal action, they're protecting their ancestral lands from rampant deforestation. #IndigenousRights#SDGs#ConservationHeroes
Corruption drains over 5% of global GDP, amounting to a staggering $3 trillion lost in public spending. It's time to take a stand and fight for a world free from this destructive force. #EndCorruption#SDGs
The fossil fuel industry has no place leading climate discussions & getting rid of #SultanalJaber as head of #COP28 is the only possible move. #ClimateTalks require serious leaders. If we want to make progress, then we need effective climate governance! #ADNOC
Finally some action that shows real progress! Lawmakers joined forces to oust the oil executive #SultanalJaber from the presidency of #COP28. This creates an opportunity to welcome some effective leadership to this years‘ conference in #UAE. #ADNOC#ClimateTalks
#Plasticconsumption is set to triple by 2060,osing a grave threat to our #environment.The projected increase in #singleuseplastics demands immediate action!Hats off to the #PacificIslands for taking the lead in implementing bans and restrictions,setting a great example to follow!
If taking action against #climatechange is the reason to organise #COP28, then the planet must be put over profit. Even hosting COP28 in #UAE compromises the integrity of the conference, let alone making an oil executive president! Removing #SultanalJaber shows real progress!
The time-lapse sequences captured by #NASA satellites reveal the alarming decline of #Okjökull glacier in #Iceland. From 15 square miles to less than 0.5 square miles, this is a stark reminder of the urgent need to address global warming. #ClimateChange#ClimateAction
Forests are both the solution & the victims of #climatechange. When forests are sustainably managed, they regulate & stabilize the global climate. We have to implement sustainable solutions like agroforestry & forest conservation in order to protect them. #ProtectOurForests
