[Francesca Mingrone @fra_mingro]

It was a pleasure to moderate the 2023 Geneva Dialogues on human rights & climate change. Many ideas emerged on how to ensure that int'l HR mechanisms better and increasingly respond to the urgency of the climate crisis.
Thread below and recording here: https://t.co/UudCu1VkGj

[Center for International Environmental Law @ciel_tweets]

Our very own @fra_mingro — who is facilitating the dialogues — stressed the role #HumanRights institutions can play to make sure that:
👉 #ClimateAction is participatory, and
👉 Civil society is able to effectively engage in climate policymaking.

It was a pleasure to be hosted by @GENetwork to discuss women's rights and the Triple Planetary Crisis. To tackle climate change, biodiversity loss & pollution and protect & promote women's rights, it is essential to phase out #FossilFuels & tackle structural inequalities.

A short thread 🧵

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

The whole cycle of plastics is now a global threat to human rights. We must ensure free, active, meaningful and informed participation in the new #PlasticsTreaty negotiations. We need clear boundaries on conflict of interest to ensure the new Treaty puts people before profits.

[Francesca Mingrone @fra_mingro]

It's estimated that by 2050 half of oil & gas will be used to produce plastics & petrochemicals. The climate impact is enormous. Read @cmuffett1 op-ed on why we need to tackle the full plastic life-cycle, starting from production 👇

[Boston Globe Opinion @GlobeOpinion]

The world missed its opportunity to abandon the misplaced trust in fossil fuel and plastics industries to help solve the problems its products create. It shouldn’t miss it again on plastics, writes @ciel_tweets president @cmuffett1. https://t.co/WIT3XBBOBV

🚨a wide set of #COP27 decisions is now distributed and once again the #ParisAgreement is used to advance false solutions promoting the status quo rather than accelerating radically the race to phase out fossil fuels... A overview of some key problematic decisions...

Quick update on the new draft #COP27 cover decision dropped last night:
❌ Still no mention of #PhaseOutFossils,
😱 The text on the right of a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll was deleted,
🤦 New text weakens the #GlasgowClimatePact on #FossilFuels subsidies.

This year #ACE negotiations have been much more open to observers than last year, which has led to human rights language being reflected in work programme, highlights @fra_mingro from @ciel_tweets Watch livestream here: https://t.co/qcgTcaL27D

✨Happy day 2 of week 2!✨

Have you had your post-lunch coffee today? ​​☕️

We hope Parties did, because they have a looot of work to do on the Cover Decision! A short🧵

My quick take on the importance of participatory climate action and why Action for Climate Empowerment matters 👇

[Center for International Environmental Law @ciel_tweets]

CIEL staff updates from the ongoing climate talks in Egypt.

What is the Action for Climate Empowerment #ACE, why it matters, and what happened last week at the climate conference?

Hear from CIEL Staff Attorney @fra_mingro all about #ACE at @COP27.

[Climate Outreach @ClimateOutreach]

It's critical that ACE be framed in terms of human rights, says @fra_mingro from @ciel_tweets. Parties must uphold their obligation to public participation, which will lead to stronger work plans.
