"Vast subsidies keeping the #fossilfuel industry afloat should be put to better use" - good article by @AlexLenferna looking at how fossil fuels dominance is protected by governments despite #ParisAgreement https://t.co/kX9s6CbPC7

Shell is no climate hero, but investors in fossil fuel companies are becoming increasingly concerned. My blog on mounting pressures on directors of these companies is in theconversation today: https://t.co/2aW5kbKodR

This is a regulatory win, provided the government does not change...

Great news, now if we could just reduce its use....

Almost (...) all the world’s countries have agreed on a deal aimed at restricting shipments of hard-to-recycle plastic waste to poorer countries. https://t.co/EEQ5Pwjlqs

So proud of my students @SchulichLaw for winning this carbon major inquiry writing competition hosted by @GRI_LSE, Institute for Environmental Science for Social Change in the Philippines and @stiruni on the Philippine's Commission for Human Rights investigation, well done!

It is so hard to find the balance, but so encouraging to see climate protesters doing it!

[Thomas Hale @thomasnhale]

I’ve heard @CFigueres make this point beautifully, finding the sweet spot that combines urgency and anger without dispair, and optimism and confidence without complacency

[AOSIS @AOSISChair]

Let’s empower the Warsaw International Mechanism for #LossAndDamage and deliver tangible outcomes that tackles the existential challenges facing #SIDS. #ClimateAction #Fin4Dev #SusDev

[Lisa Benjamin @DrLisaBenjamin]

Great piece on ongoing climate injustice, 1.5C and timing - the science is complicated but this breaks it down well, with some probing questions for young people to ask their parents......what are you doing about this now?

Prof. Allen says it well: Why protesters should be wary of '12 years to climate breakdown' rhetoric https://t.co/cwszlqd9Xp via @ConversationUK

[Thomas Hale @thomasnhale]

We know we need to ramp up #ClimateAction in a short span of time, so where should we focus our resources and energies? #Thread

[Lisa Benjamin @DrLisaBenjamin]

It's AGM season, and this is a great piece on resistance to shareholder pressure by carbon majors (aided by lacklustre SEC rules). None are making systemic changes to business plans, and Shell has recently been sued in The Netherlands as a result....

Tell your friends, tell your family, tell everyone you can that young people are rising! We’ve had enough denial, enough betrayal, enough silence and inaction. Join us on March 15th as we join countries around the world in the strike against climate change! (📷: Cardiff Feb 15th)

[Lisa Benjamin @DrLisaBenjamin]

Very exciting news, particularly for communities in the Global South

[Center for International Environmental Law @ciel_tweets]

Historic decision! #SCOTUS rules that World Bank Group can be sued in US courts, in a major win for #accountability for communities everywhere who are harmed by #development projects https://t.co/o0uqdQkVnF

This is so depressing....
