The #GST text is so far a failure that brings us backwards and opens the door to dangerous distractions such as carbon capture & storage, nuclear, & false removals!
At #Cop28, Parties must commit to standing on the right side of history and call for a fossil fuels #phaseout!
Would the US have come to COP28 for political campaigning?
📢‼️John Kerry fails to answers to the youth concerns about the lack of equity when talking about fossil fuels phase out!
The latest #GST text is unacceptable. We want an equitable PHASE-OUT of fossil fuels.
We demand the US delegates to focus on equity, adaptation and justice ✊🏽
The US youth will remember the actions taken on these negotiations. Any text that does not live up to the ambition required for our future, will be reflected in the next elections.

There’s a lot of talk about stranded assets when it comes to fossil fuels, but what about the people who have been stranded

At the #ClimateAmbitionSummit leaders celebrate their shameless loopholes, empty words, distant insufficient goals and
theft of present and future living conditions - calling it "ambition".
There are no climate leaders.
The only ones who can change this is you and me. Together.
Check out our latest interview with Doreen Stabinsky, COA's beloved Global Environmental Politics professor. In this interview, Doreen dives into many topics like climate politics, her most recent work, and how racial equity + climate action intersect.

Congress needs to bail out #PeopleNotPolluters. Now isn't the time to be giving handouts to fossil fuel billionaires.

We should only call it criminal negligence or genocide from now on.
"They are violating our human rights ... This should be criminal."
This 17-year-old Indigenous activist from the Ecuadorian Amazon called out world leaders at #COP25 for criminal negligence.

NEW #LossAndDamage text at #COP25 is out!
Quick Analysis:
1. Agreement on establishing "Expert Group" by 2020 (should've happened years ago!)
2. Establishes "Santiago Network" to catalyse technical assistance
3. No language on new & additional #finance for L&D

We stand w/ the 100s kicked out of #COP25 Weds, & echo the call: Developing gov’ts, be strong against bullies like EU/Can/Aus siding with U.S. & Big Polluters, & demand: YES real solutions. NO schemes like carbon markets. YES $$ for loss & damage. #PollutersOut #COP25Madrid

These pictures will go around the world.
After chanting for climate justice inside #COP25, young people & indigenous leaders were pushed outside the conference. People were bullied & kicked. Then we were kettled on the street & refused to get back in – but we won't be silenced!
"We are being kicked out as civil society, and the big polluters are being kept in...we have seen it again and again for the past 25 years."
