Is your pension fuelling the climate crisis? Well done Olivia Coleman and @MMMoneyMatter

[IPCC @IPCC_CH]

Our lifestyles and patterns of consumption and production across regions, between and within countries, and among individuals have contributed to emissions of #greenhousegases that have unequivocally caused #globalwarming.

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

🤯 According to a new report by Oxfam, the richest 1% account for more carbon emissions than the poorest 66%.

💚 It's time to tax the super-rich properly and use the money to fix public services, pay people fairly, close the inequality gap and tackle climate breakdown.

Floods in Dubai, where @COP28_UAE is due to start soon… A signal from the climate system that more #ClimateActionNow is needed, may be? #COP28

[IUCN @IUCN]

#NaturebasedSolutions could generate twenty million jobs while addressing major challenges such as #ClimateChange, disaster risk, and food and water insecurity.

[United Nations @UN]

In conflict, civilians always pay the highest price.

War is not the answer.

We need peace.

Peace for the world.

We need peace now.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

Amnesty's extensive video footage verification and interviews of survivors have shown that Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups have carried out cruel and brutal crimes including mass summary killings, hostage-taking, and launching indiscriminate rocket attacks into Israel.

Massacring civilians is a war crime. There can be no justification for these reprehensible attacks. They must be investigated and those responsible held accountable. All Palestinian armed groups in Gaza must release all civilian hostages unconditionally and immediately.

As Israeli forces’ retaliatory attacks pummel Gaza, Amnesty International insists that neither security nor justice will be achieved by civilian killings and collective punishment.

With evidence still emerging of the horrors that unfolded in southern Israel, Amnesty International will continue its investigations in order to determine the full range of crimes under international law.

Amnesty International stands in solidarity with all the victims of these latest attacks.

“Just five nations – the US, Canada, Australia, Norway and the UK – are responsible for over half of all planned oil and gas field developments from now to 2050.”

Let’s get off this list. ✊🏽🌏 https://t.co/4qOhofY3vn

Australians are getting dudded when our gas is sold to multinational gas companies to export overseas.

Thanks to @ChrisEconomist for this great graph.

[Peter Whish-Wilson @SenatorSurfer]

Respectfully Minister in this clip you said you’d stopped a coal mine that would have ‘impacted the reef’ but doesn’t every coal mine or fossil fuel project you’ve recently approved impact the reef!? Thought you’d at least understand the basic science by now…🤷🏽‍♂️

[Wilderness Society @Wilderness_Aus]

Today the NSW gov announced a logging pause for 106 koala hubs within the proposed Great Koala National Park.

The hubs equate to about 5% of the total Park area.

A great first step, but sadly, logging will still be allowed outside these areas.

[UN Biodiversity @UNBiodiversity]

This is how #deforestation alters landscapes. 👇

And the effects go beyond the visible: local communities, #climate and biodiversity feel the impact.

It’s time we champion people and nature and restore our forests. 🌲 RT if you’re with us!

A little good news, #Panama has officially recognized the rights of nature into law: https://t.co/QlFKeloAWG. Who's next?

Nature is amazing. Protect it.

The #RugbyWorldCup kicks off today! 🏉

While waiting for the incredible first game #FRAvNZL, we imagined what this opening match would look like if @TotalEnergies, sponsor of the #RWC2023, showed its true colours on the pitch 👇🏾

Don't look now, but @tanya_plibersek's department just approved a new coal project out to 2073!

Join Ben, Adam and thousands of friends at the People’s Blockade this November 24-27.

[Adam Bandt @AdamBandt]

July was the hottest month on record, and now people are bracing for a deadly summer.

But Labor continues to approve new coal and gas & Australia’s emissions have gone up, not down.

I hope to be at the coal port blockade in Newcastle in November with @RisingTideAus. Join us.

Australia cannot take seriously a Govt that dusts off failed 1992 Forest policy and says it will review it for adoption. The climate/biodiversity crises have accelerated since 1982. Ending logging is best policy right now. Not offsets, not trade offs, END. @BobBrownFndn #auspol
