.@PRC_Amb_Uganda,@xaviersticker,@ChineseEmb_Uga,@FrenchEmbassyUg The violence and abuse that peaceful #StopEACOP activists face in Uganda is unacceptable. Will you intervene? The world is watching.

Xi Jinping – don’t be the lifeline for EACOP! This destructive pipeline will be a carbon bomb and threaten lives, livelihoods, and the environment. #StopEACOP

Dear @Bundeskanzler @vonderleyen @eucopresident @EmmanuelMacron @MinPres Now is the time to break free from Russian oil and gas. Europe must stop fuelling Putin’s war chest. Once and for all! #EUCO @NATO @POTUS #Ukraine #StopPutinsOil

The @EU_Commission is trying to classify climate-wrecking fossil gas as "sustainable". Perhaps they also consider french fries a healthy vegetable.

I'm calling on all leaders at #LeadersClimateSummit this April to deliver on climate justice, stop funding fossil fuels, and get serious about a just transition and #JustRecovery for all.
