So proud to be representing black fellahs here in Azerbaijan for the CoP29. My first press conference with the Japanese on why they should stop financing climate change #COP29Baku
Climate justice is impossible without human rights. Palestinian voices at #COP29 are exposing how systems of oppression converge to enable genocide while corporations profit. #StopTheGenocide
STARTING NOW AT #COP29: Solidarity action calling for the end of the genocide in Palestine 🍉
✊️ There can not be #ClimateJustice without #HumanRights and peace ✊️
Earlier this week, Australia’s ‘Gas Minister’ @MadeleineMHKing came to Japan to meet with major Japanese fossil fuel companies 😡🙅
#FossilFreeJapan got together to call on King to say: Japan doesn't need Australia's dirty gas! ✊
Australia once again preparing to be shocked that casually naming things with Pasifika words reflecting obligations of community care and reciprocity... invites obligations of community care and reciprocity.
Interesting line from Teo at end of presser. He says Australia should phase out fossil fuel exports because it's against the broader "spirit" of the Falepili Union. Aus didn't make any commitments on fossil fuel *exports* in the treaty but Teo argues there's an implied commitment

New Report Exposes Fossil Fuel Imbalance in the Commonwealth 🚨
As #CHOGM2024 kicks off in Samoa, a groundbreaking report, Uncommon Wealth, reveals how the UK, Australia, and Canada are driving the majority of fossil fuel expansion in the Commonwealth—despite having far less economic dependency on these resources. 🤯

The looming oversupply of LNG, coupled with a slowdown in Asian and European demand, threaten the economic viability of already-delayed LNG projects in my country and elsewhere,” said Tanzania MP @nusrathanje1
The #COP28 and Summit of the Future outcomes on energy transition must drive home the point to the US, Canada, and other allies that #LNG is a huge economic and environmental risk. Investments must flow instead to more affordable and reliable energy sources, which happen to be clean and renewable,” said Canada Senator @SenRosaGalvez
Happening now at Citi HQ on the margins of #ClimateWeekNYC: Gulf Coast and South Asian diaspora communities are demanding a meeting to end finance for gas expansion and environmental racism. Citi dollars are also tied up in the Barossa gas carbon bomb.
The always powerful @GerryArances_ is here during #ClimateWeekNYC to stand strong with Gulf Coast communities. Like Australia, the Philippines is also seeing gas expansion financed by international institutions like Citi and JBIC
Saturday's large-scale projection at the Verizon Building in #NYC linked the world’s largest oil companies to the effects of the climate crisis. Let's start #ClimateWeekNYC by highlighting the companies profiting from this #ClimateCatastrophe We need fossil fuel phase-out now!
🚨 RIGHT NOW: Greenpeace activists onboard Oceania are at sea off the coast of WA. They captured exclusive footage of Woodside’s drill as the oil and gas giant begins the first stages of its monstrous gas project - the Burrup Hub.

1/3. “Each year Tuvalu faces cyclones, droughts and King Tides, which increase in frequency and intensity, each of these forces us into debt for disaster relief.” H.E. Panapasi Nelesoni, Deputy Prime Minister of Tuvalu 🇹🇻 on #LossAndDamage in Tuvalu. #SummitOfTheFuture
A more constrained Brazilian Secretary for Climate, Energy and Environment won’t say the f-words but gets close. ‘NDCs got clear guidance from COP28.’ He calls for the outcome to flow through to national policy and investment plans ‘in line with the science’.
Telling statement from Brazil’s former environment minister Izabella Teixeira: ‘as a former minister, I’m so free’ she says, as she names tackling fossil fuels as essential for addressing Brazil’s, and the world’s, polycrisis. #ClimateWeekNYC
‘I’m tired of this, I’m getting old’ she says, calling for disruption and creativity. No more political divides over mitigation and adaptation. Just big bets through a planetary lens. #ClimateWeekNYC
