Join us now with @earthinbrackets to discuss #COP29 and #ClimateFinance! https://t.co/OKgn5nGhqm

The #GST text is so far a failure that brings us backwards and opens the door to dangerous distractions such as carbon capture & storage, nuclear, & false removals!

At #Cop28, Parties must commit to standing on the right side of history and call for a fossil fuels #phaseout!

[Earth in Brackets @earthinbrackets]

We demand the US delegates to focus on equity, adaptation and justice ✊🏽
The US youth will remember the actions taken on these negotiations. Any text that does not live up to the ambition required for our future, will be reflected in the next elections.

#EndFossilFuels

[Earth in Brackets @earthinbrackets]

Would the US have come to COP28 for political campaigning?
📢‼️John Kerry fails to answers to the youth concerns about the lack of equity when talking about fossil fuels phase out!
The latest #GST text is unacceptable. We want an equitable PHASE-OUT of fossil fuels.

[Sameera Savarala @SameeraSavarala]

There’s a lot of talk about stranded assets when it comes to fossil fuels, but what about the people who have been stranded

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

At the #ClimateAmbitionSummit leaders celebrate their shameless loopholes, empty words, distant insufficient goals and
theft of present and future living conditions - calling it "ambition".
There are no climate leaders.
The only ones who can change this is you and me. Together.

Congress needs to bail out #PeopleNotPolluters. Now isn't the time to be giving handouts to fossil fuel billionaires.

[Anjali Appadurai @AnjaliApp]

We should only call it criminal negligence or genocide from now on.

NEW #LossAndDamage text at #COP25 is out!

Quick Analysis:

1. Agreement on establishing "Expert Group" by 2020 (should've happened years ago!)

2. Establishes "Santiago Network" to catalyse technical assistance

3. No language on new & additional #finance for L&D

We stand w/ the 100s kicked out of #COP25 Weds, & echo the call: Developing gov’ts, be strong against bullies like EU/Can/Aus siding with U.S. & Big Polluters, & demand: YES real solutions. NO schemes like carbon markets. YES $$ for loss & damage. #PollutersOut #COP25Madrid

"We have to wake up. Rise up. Take the streets and stand by the people in frontline communities to fight for future because the govts are failing us. We call the intl communities to support the struggles of the Global South." Angela Valenzuela of @Fridays4future

[Fridays for Future Germany @FridayForFuture]

These pictures will go around the world.
After chanting for climate justice inside #COP25, young people & indigenous leaders were pushed outside the conference. People were bullied & kicked. Then we were kettled on the street & refused to get back in – but we won't be silenced!
