#OOC2025: In a side event co-hosted by @CEEDphilippines, the @ciel_tweets, and @forourclimate, experts discussed the implications of offshore oil and gas activities to the marine environment - focusing on the VIP, an important area in the Coral Triangle.
Major carbon cycle feedbacks like permafrost thaw could amplify warming across this millennium. Even ‘safe’ emission paths may overshoot 2°C. The Paris goal is a physical limit, not a political choice. Today’s actions shape life on Earth for centuries.

There are many ways the law can protect people and planet.

“LNG is a fossil fuel and new projects have no part to play in a sustainable transition,” Duclos-Gonda said. “Banks and investors must take responsibility and stop supporting LNG developers and new terminals immediately.”
The overproduction of LNG is pushing us to the brink of disaster.
The hunger for cheap fuel at any cost is a deep sickness. It’s a race to the bottom that will prove economically ruinous and environmentally devastating.

Due to pressure from the country's Socialist Left (SV) party, Norway's government has elected to stop deep-sea mining in the Arctic for the rest of the government's term. We welcome the decision. Norway must honour its commitment to ocean protection.

Update on how you are going to starve.
The world's coral reefs disappear at 1.5C. We are past 1.5C now and heading for 2C.
THEY ARE DONE. 25% of the world's fish will disappear as well. 1-2 billion people depend on those fish for food.
Join me in the Revolution of our lives.
