Climate Case Ireland

We took the Irish government to the Supreme Court for failing to #ActOnClimate - and we WON! A historic victory for climate justice ⚖🌍⚡

[Climate Case Ireland @climatecaseire]

BREAKING!

Climate Case Ireland has warned the Government it faces legal action if it does not publish the State’s final Long-Term Climate Strategy by 1 January 2022, two years after required by EU law.

The Climate Advisory Council says this is a “critical gap” and “urgent” ⬇️

[The Citizens' Assembly @CitizAssembly]

Should there be a referendum of the people to amend the constitution with a view to protecting biodiversity?

YES 83% NO 17%

And there’s us wracking our brains about how to comply with the carbon budgets, when the answer was before our noses the whole time…

Delay turning Moneypoint into a renewable energy hub and convert it from COAL to OIL! 💀

[Daniel Murray @DanielTMurray]

Moneypoint power station will be converted from coal to oil, 30 per cent of all vehicles will be electric by 2030, earlier rollout of onshore wind and solar, and a major push to electrify industrial heat will all be part of the new Climate Action Plan. https://t.co/J2pNSFFQNL

[ClientEarth @ClientEarth]

Good news: Germany is quitting the Energy Charter Treaty - the 6th EU country to pull out of the treaty after a failed reform attempt. It’s critical EU govts now reject the new #ECT to stop fossil fuel giants from using it to sue them over climate action.

Governments must make, and actually meet, ambitious climate targets this #COP27. Learn more from the activists suing their governments to demand strong action this Thursday 16:45-18:15 EET (14:45 🇮🇪) with COP event being livestreamed at https://t.co/P04QkWJAcb. #ClimateTrials

[Oxfam Ireland @OxfamIreland]

#COP27 has evidenced the large role the financial sector plays in rising #GHG emissions. No one can be given a pass in tackling the #ClimateCrisis - Ireland’s position must be strong to stop massive #GHG emissions from the world’s largest investors. #csddd #COP27

[Oxfam Ireland @OxfamIreland]

Following such a positive meeting with the Irish Coalition on Business and Human Rights yesterday, can @daracalleary clarify that Ireland has not taken this position, effectively backing a financial sector greenwashing? #csddd #COP27

Fascinating perspective from @ManchanMagan speaking at @CitizAssembly on #Biodiversity Loss on how our Irish language and mythology can guide us in protecting our environment #CABioLoss #Gaeilge #ClimateJustice #ClimateAction

[The Citizens' Assembly @CitizAssembly]

Writer @ManchanMagan speaks to #CABioLoss on how we can look to Irish language and #mythology as the basis for #sustainableliving

I have just warned global leaders at #COP27:

We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator.

Our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible.

We need urgent #ClimateAction.
