#COP26 did not do enough for the #climate or for communities. It turned out to be the least inclusive COP to date, as well as expensive, chaotic, inconclusive. However, there are also reasons for hope & important opportunities to work for better outcomes. https://t.co/r2doisZekN
11/11 We're facing ‘Code Red for Humanity’. Regardless of #Article6 outcomes, carbon markets without 100% cancellation of credits are counter-productive toward overall mitigation in global #emissions (OMGE). They lead us further away from, not closer to, 1.5 degrees. #COP26
It's no coincidence #NatureBasedSolutions are center stage at #COP26. Just look who's pushing for them 👀
It's about corporations & NGOs making money while pretending to do something for climate/nature. Don't let the #greenwashing fool you!
@Survival
People's Climate Deal -- take a look at https:https://t.co/XMAeODE0HU
and also @AVAAZ https://t.co/TAeSzLaA70 Lots of CLARA positions reflected here. #COP26#decisiontext
Boy howdy, see what happens when the #biomass industry LIES - forests and the climate die, but also people get activated! Thank you to these fantastic Forest Defenders and especially Biofuelwatch at #COP26 protesting industry greenwash.
At #COP26 Big Polluters are using “net zero” plans to greenwash themselves as “climate champions.” But “Net zero” is still a Big Con. We need real solutions. @JohnKerry@AlokSharma_RDG @TimmermansEU. Read more: https://t.co/HfJ8EJcs8r
Today was Adaptation Day at COP26. https://t.co/OTwdxULpb0 UNCTAD suggests more ODA, transaction taxes, and debt relief to finance adaptation. CLARA suggested similar in our June 2021 submission on Article 6 https://t.co/5IcqQ2QCsv Support for adaptation, not carbon markets!
@EnvDefenseFund, @Nature_Org, and @ConservationOrg may not understand futures and swaps markets, but they do have credits to sell! @IETA @patagorda https://t.co/bnLRKT5ILz https://t.co/Lw0k15CrGv
Three U.S. conservation organizations – @EDF, The Nature Conservancy @Nature_Org, and Conservation International @ConservationOrg -- teamed with the International Emissions Trading Association @IETA in calling for a ‘Robust Article 6 Outcome’ at Glasgow. https://t.co/VRrCeGuIn2
“No limit to the number of transactions and transfers.” No position limits – seriously? Is the actual purpose here to develop a subprime market for carbon? – a new global asset class -- carbon offsets for futures and swaps market speculation? Like mortgages a decade ago….
CLARA members join 700 other civil society groups worldwide in calling for "Real plans, real solutions, real finance, and Real Zero" at COP26. "plans based on real transformation, backed by real resources, and implemented with real urgency.” Look here: https://t.co/fiLgZiSMKX
NEW!
More than 700 organizations are calling on governments & leading international institutions to commit to specific & ambitious plans that bring emissions & #FossilFuel production down to #RealZero to avert climate catastrophe at #COP26.

A good list of politicians, oil and industry giants, facebook and others that have helped spread the big lie or stood in the way of #climate action #COP26@IATP https://t.co/AddS6Fg6oW
