#COP27 Governments, NGOs and philanthropic leaders recognize the unavoidable role of indigenous and local communities to fight climate change. We unite in cross-cutting, ambitious partnership, acting together to save the forests of the world. #GuardiansofTomorrow
Three multibillionaires now own more wealth than the bottom half of America – 160 million Americans.
Don’t tell me we can’t afford a wealth tax on the super-rich.
Just announced at #COP27

We can do it!
We can at least TRY
We have been sounding the alarm about this for a long time.
Some may want to go after the messenger, but we simply cannot make promises, hector people to vote, and then refuse to use our full power when they do.
We still have time to fix this and act. But we need to be brave.
The Mountain Valley pipeline has lost another approval. The 4th Circuit has tossed out the project's biological opinion. This comes after the same court tossed out approvals from the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management.
More to come.
We must come together to combat the climate crisis. #DontLookUp and @CountUsInSocial have compiled steps you can take to get involved: https://t.co/7Rx6qOmRf0
Last week, Brazil’s deforestation data came out, and the news was staggering: a 22% increase in deforestation in the Amazon. Bolsonaro’s government is a threat to biodiversity, Indigenous People’s lives and to the global climate.

A typical Walmart supercenter has a five-acre parking lot, and it’s a wasteland, especially if you have to sweat your way across it under an asphalt-bubbling sun. Put a canopy over it, though, and it could support a three-megawatt solar array.

Hello Tweeps.
Planned deforestation is the official term used by the Indonesian government in its carbon emission reduction proposal, called the nationally determined contribution (NDC), currently being discussed at #COP26.

#IndigenousPeoples are the real experts in conservation and are best informed to protect the planet, so why aren’t they given a seat at the table?

There is no viable solution to the climate crisis without forest & land management by Indigenous Peoples and local communities✊As part of our activities at #COP26 we are visiting @kilfinanforest with @CommunityLandSc learning from community landowners in #Scotland
1993 Aichi Declaration pledged to halve the rate of forest loss by 2020
2014 NY Declaration pledged to reverse deforestation by 2030
2015 SDGs pledged to halt deforestation by 2020
Yet from 2001 to 2020, there was a global 10% DECLINE in tree cover.
Walk the walk.
“It strikes me as somewhat absurd that people are confident that we will withdraw climatically substantial amounts of carbon out of the atmosphere while we can’t even stop our collective selves from burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests,”
