A response that can't be repeated enough. Also, Africa loses $88B+ annualy to outflows involving international actors! Plus, judging by the sheer scale of the recent bribery scandal in the heart of Europe's legislative body, is anyone now saying Europe isn't investable?
If we need to decarbonize the energy system extremely fast, does it *really* make sense to divert energy to supporting elite consumption? Or to the production of SUVs, fast fashion, private jets, or other socially less-necessary goods? No, it is irrational and dangerous.
38 yrs ago Union Carbide pesticide plant in #Bhopal leaked, killing thousands .
Bhopal compelled me to ask where the pesticides came from & to promote ecological & safe alternatives.We started the #Neem campaign “ No more Bhopal’s,plant a neem”.11 yrs we fought Neem #Biopiracy
🧵 The re-writing of recent history by global north activists on the COP27 and its outcome is (to put it mildly) nauseating! It makes one question their independence and how much they're in touch with Global South voices they claim to care about. So to reclaim the space:
⚡️The #AfricaGroup's proposal for an inclusive and effective #TaxCooperation at the @UN was approved by consensus! Historic win for the #TaxJustice movement! Congratulations to all those who joined the mobilizations!

History was made today at #COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh as parties agreed to the establishment of a long-awaited loss and damage fund for assisting developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change.
We would like to see a #COP27 outcome including commitment to the phase out of all #FossilFuels. It should be accompanied by an equal commitment from developed nations to mobilise the needed finance to make it possible. #LossAndDamageFinanceNow
Big news from Spain. The University of Barcelona has agreed to establish a mandatory course on the climate crisis, responding to student demands after a seven-day sit-in occupation. It's a huge victory. May other universities follow suit. https://t.co/ZwGFQt4i2Y
