Bravo to everyone who led with passion and inspiration to make this adoption happen!

Why is having an Advisory Opinion on climate change from the International Court of Justice such a big deal? A thread 🧵 #ICJAO4Climate

[Steven Donziger @SDonziger]

BREAKING: In a huge blow to the rule of law, the US Supreme Court today let stand Chevron's prosecution and 3-year detention of me after helping Indigenous peoples win the historic Amazon pollution case.

Gorsuch dissented: "Our Constitution does not tolerate what happened here."

[Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative @fossiltreaty]

Great article on the eve of the UN vote for an advisory opinion on climate change. 100+ countries have backed Vanuatu's plan to enlist the UN's top court in tackling climate change. If the resolution is adopted, this is the beginnings of a HUGE legal precedent for climate #ICJAO

Africa wants renewable energy and a sustainable future. We refuse to be Europe’s gas station! #EuropeanGasConference #DontGasAfrica

Those claiming to be “climate leaders” are still approving coal mines and funding gas and oil projects.

We don’t have time for their hypocrisy. We need a
@fossiltreaty to hold them to account.

We are not done yet but today is a good day. Thanks for all of your work: New federal study to address threats to Rouge National Park and key portions of the Greenbelt removed by the Ontario government https://t.co/p282nm7aOK via @envirodefence #HandsofftheGreenbelt

Happy #WorldWaterDay! I am very thankful to live in the Great Lakes-St Lawrence watershed, the planet's largest freshwater ecosystem. Water is life-sustaining and today let's reflect on our individual & collective responsibilities to protect our waters. #WaterIsLife #GreatLakes

Today I spoke at the Press Conference in
@PressClubBXLEU about why the @fossiltreaty is both a climate tool and a peace tool. Now it is time for European governments to replace the #ECT with a climate protection treaty instead ➡️https://t.co/mXZxxxZjB6

Last week a bloc of Pacific nations committed to spearheading a global fossil fuel phase-out effort.

Watch this video from @Brianna_Fruean to hear about the landmark meeting in Port Vila & what it means for the global call for a #FossilFuelTreaty 🤝

Today a landmark suit filed in New Orleans federal court by Cancer Alley residents demands a full moratorium on any new petrochemical & related infrastructure, citing a “scandalous environmental and public health emergency" and land use policies that are "vestiges of slavery."

[Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) 🪬 @DoctorVive]

"For the first time in the IPCC’s history, a headline statement...declared that the world already has too many fossil fuels in production to limit global warming to the relatively safe level of 1.5° C. [This is] a very big deal."

"Avoiding the worst-case scenarios is only possible if we stop the expansion of new oil, gas and coal," says @Tzeporah, as the @IPCC_CH issues its final warning of the decade. #IPCC https://t.co/dqiNOqwRIt

“These same banks—@Chase @Citi @BankofAmerica @WellsFargo—have been in the business of injustice for a very long time… Their business plan is a death sentence for our communities... They’re willing to mortgage our children’s lives.” @RevYearwood speaking truth ✊ #StopDirtyBanks

[FARZANA FARUK JHUMU @FarzanaJhumu]

"Act now or it’s too late" that's the zest of the most important climate report. We must act now and the action is to phase out fossil fuels. https://t.co/6jzedpf09t

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Today, after yesterday's #IPCC report, everything is back to normal – as always. We continue to ignore the climate crisis as if nothing happened. Our societies are still in denial, and those in power go on with their never ending quests to maximise profits. We cannot afford this.

[Julia Levin @lev_jf]

Great #Budget2023 recommendations from @IISD_Energy:

-End fossil fuel subsidies
-Not another cent for, fossil gas, CCUS or fossil-hydrogen
-Transformative investments into 100% renewable electricity
-Scale up support for a just transition

Will @cafreeland listen?
