I have just warned global leaders at #COP27:
We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator.
Our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible.
We need urgent #ClimateAction.
“There isn’t enough available land on the planet to offset the pollution hiding in thousands of net zero pledges, and too many hopes rest on long-shot technologies that will probably never work.”

The first draft of the #COP26 agreement text has been revealed, and contains no mention of the need to end fossil fuel emissions - critical to keep global temperatures under 1.5c.
Unacceptable.

"I am here from the Shipibo-Konibo people in #Peru supporting the youth #ClimateStrike in Glasgow. We are demanding that governments take real action at #COP26: end the dispossession & deforestation of our territories & criminalisation & violence against us," Miguel Guimaraes.
Hey @UNFCCC Indigenous peoples are taking to the street during #Cop26 with a message for you.
We reject your false solutions and won’t back down. We have everything to lose while you waste time.
#expectus#co2colonialism
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.

.@RAN executive director @GingerCassady locks down to #Line3 pipeline along with Laurel Sutherlin of RAN in solidarity with Giniw Collective, “[Line 3] is a violent assault on Indigenous People and their treaty rights and a climate catastrophe that threatens all of us.”
“No to the mining in our lands. No to deforestation. No more invasions and disrespect.”
Brazil’s indigenous people are demanding urgent action for the #AmazonFires and an end to mining in the Amazon as world leaders are set to discuss the blaze at #G7Biarritz
The attacks on the Amazon are an international tragedy.
What can we do?
1. Support the courageous resistance of the indigenous peoples of the Amazon.
2. Make clear to the agribusiness & financiers involved in the destruction that we won’t buy their products.
A Liberian #PalmOil company has faced well-documented allegations of human rights violations, environmental degradation and disregard for communities’ land rights.

The price of products like #palmoil#meat and #coffee isn’t just what we pay at the checkout counter ― it’s also the violent killings of 207 #environmentaldefenders that reached record levels in 2017 https://t.co/jMpMSOHCrc
Is bringing in the "sinners" or worst actors in the #palmoil industry really where @RSPOtweets wants to go? #RT15 Why not enforce your own standard? https://t.co/9bIP8awgQS
This latest investigation from @RAN @ILRF and OPPUK shows concrete evidence proving Indofood’s ongoing labor abuses. These abuses blatantly violate the RSPO standard. It’s time for the RSPO to act, but will it? https://t.co/X1cFgOePI2 … #RT15@RSPOtweets
