Our statement on President Biden stepping down as Dem nominee:

“Biden’s choice to step down is a pivotal moment. The DNC must seize the chance + select a candidate w/ a proven climate record who will prioritize transitioning away from fossil fuels”

🔥Don't look away.🔥

This is the reality of LNG in many communities. @potus' announcement today is the first step in stopping these mega-climate bombs.

“It’s simple: You have to turn off the tap before you begin mopping the floor. Countries can’t phase out fossil fuels w/o stopping oil + gas expansion.”

– Thuli Makama of @PriceofOil on dangerous fossil fuel expansion by rich countries like US, UK, Norway. #EndFossilFuels #COP28

[David Tong @Davidxvx]

At least 127 countries have called for or endorsed a decision to phaseout fossil fuels at #COP28.

That's a huge increase from the 80 who endorsed phaseout/down IN THE POWER SECTOR last year.

Key to moving others is justice, finance & adaptation.

To those who opposed a clear reference to phase out of fossil fuels during the #COP28 Climate Conference, I want to say:

Whether you like it or not, fossil fuel phase out is inevitable. Let’s hope it doesn’t come too late.

[Collin Rees @collinrees]

Activists are lining the path to the negotiating rooms at #COP28 as talks stretch into the night.

The latest draft text is wholly unacceptable in failing to #EndFossilFuels.

We’re calling on our leaders to #HoldTheLine + push for the fossil fuel phaseout we deserve.

[People vs. Fossil Fuels @FightFossils]

🔥Global youth demand a real fossil fuel phaseout at #COP28 from @POTUS, all wealthy polluting counties and world leaders🔥

“What do we want? PHASEOUT! If we don’t get it? SHUT IT DOWN—We will stay day and night, we will stay to win the fight!” #EndFossilFuels #FastFairForever

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

‼️ Climate negotiators have emerged with a set of incoherent and dangerous measures ‼️

📣 Activists are gathering NOW to demand a fossil fuel phaseout that is:

🚨FAIR
🚨FULL
🚨FAST
🚨FUNDED

We will #HoldTheLine ✊🏾✊🏽✊🏿

Minutes ago, the @UNFCCC published the latest draft of the #GlobalStocktake, which countries will negotiate into the final hours of the UN climate talks in Dubai, and be the defining agreement of #COP28. 👇

HOLD THE LINE TO #ENDFOSSILFUELS

Community members impacted by the #climate crisis + fossil fuel expansion from across the world are here at @antonioguterres’s #COP28 press conference to show their support for his calls for a fossil fuel phaseout.

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

"We are talking about a trend that wants to reinforce itself over generations...

to make Africa responsible for remedies and bearing the burden for solutions of the crisis that we did not contribute to and never benefited from."

[Romain Ioualalen @Rlalen]

If we get an agreement on fossil fuels at #COP28 it'll be in large part thanks to @antonioguterres' tireless advocacy.

One of the rare world leaders who is telling the truth about the severity of the climate crisis and where the blame lies: with the fossil fuel industry.

The largest refinery in the US is in Port Arthur & 15 miles away is the 2nd largest. Much of that gas is headed to the EU. Poisonous fracked gas is going to other countries, and bringing with them the problems we’ve had - John Beard
