The President of Colombia @petrogustavo just published a powerful oped in @MiamiHerald calling to phase out fossil fuels to save the #Amazon🌳and #Humanity

Week one in your new job, Yvette Cooper — so we stopped by to say hi 👋

But our projections carry a deadly serious message: 260,000 civilians are trapped and starving in El Fasher, Sudan.

Use your power. Pick up the phone. Call the UAE’s @mohamedbinzayed — he could stop the slaughter.
Safe passage for civilians now.

Tag @YvetteCooperMP @FCDOGovUK to make sure they get our message!

Confidential documents written by TotalEnergies’ auditing firms reveal the inadequacy of the Group’s actions to limit the damage caused by its Tilenga oil megaproject.

This week, CEED's @GerryArances_ is on the ground in Geneva to raise alarm on the plight of the Verde Island Passage and the Philippines in the face of massive gas expansion, as the UN #CESCR reviews the Philippines for its 77th session.

Every fraction of a degree matters.

Every day matters.

Limiting global temperature rise is still possible. In 2025, countries must deliver bold, concrete & urgent #ClimateAction.

"6% of the methane they release is accidental, the rest is intentional." ⚠️ Methane Hunter, @TXsharon, @OilfieldWitness explains why using the expression "methane leaks" helps the #greenwashing of the #oilandgas industry.

This is it: we are on the brink of stopping new oil and gas drilling for good. The government has paused approving new fields while it asks the public, what we think should happen. The gov stands on the side of people over oil and gas bosses. Sign here: https://t.co/eOM3Xv7RG9

Yesterday, @COP29_AZ launched its #HydrogenDeclaration.

But, pitching #Hydrogen as a climate solution is profoundly misleading - the vast majority of hydrogen is made using the polluting fossil fuels that are at the root of the climate crisis!

Our reaction 👇

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

Last week, the #COP29 Presidency launched a Hydrogen Declaration that endorses 'low-carbon' hydrogen, code for 'blue' hydrogen made from gas using CCS. 🧵 https://t.co/4zcNwa2KzN

@PriceofOil @President_KR @MOTIEKoreaEng @moefkorea_eng @DukgeunAhn Way to go, South Korea! Blocking progress on fossil fuel subsidies is definitely something to be proud of

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

Breaking: South Korea has won the closely-watched Fossil of the Day award, the first award of the second week of negotiations at COP29 in Baku.

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

The OECD is moving and Korea risks being completely isolated. Almost every negotiating country is moving towards securing restrictions on fossil fuel finance. Will
@President_KR support a renewable energy future, or will Korea stand alone?

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

In September, it was revealed that Korea’s OECD negotiating position is to oppose any fossil fuel restrictions. @MOTIEKoreaEng
@moefkorea is the last obstacle to a historic deal.

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

Korea is the second largest provider of international public finance for fossil fuels, investing an average of USD 10 billion per year in overseas fossil projects. They are the world's largest provider of fossil fuel finance yet to make a commitment to stop fossil fuel financing.

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

🇺🇸 The US is joining 🇪🇺 🇬🇧🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇴 in forging a deal at the @OECD to end $41 billion/yr in public finance for fossil fuels.
🇰🇷Korea is now the biggest obstacle to a deal. Talks started TODAY in Paris - protesters were waiting.

@moefkorea_eng - don't block a clean energy future.

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

CONGRATULATIONS
@President_KR
! South Korea has won Fossil of the Day at #COP29! 📷

@MOTIEKoreaEng
@moefkorea_eng
is blocking a historic OECD-wide agreement to phase out $41bn/yr in fossil fuel subsidies!
@DukgeunAhn

- join other countries, stop blocking an agreement.

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

4/4 @katedeangelis from @foe_us: “If the US moves forward...it will shift billions of dollars away from fossil fuels.”

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

3/4 Why it matters: Like Obama's 2015 OECD coal finance ban that survived Trump's first term, this deal could create permanent climate guardrails. As Biden's climate legacy faces uncertainty, this intl commitment would stand.

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

2/4 At stake: A European proposal to expand existing coal finance restrictions to cover oil & gas projects. Deal would fulfill Biden's pledge to end international carbon-intensive energy funding. @SenMarkey: "Biden should finish it off."
