Great that @DundeeCouncil is backing the call for a #FossilFuelTreaty and, along with Glasgow and Edinburgh, adding pressure on @scotgov to do the same 🙌
We did it!!!
Great to see that @DundeeCouncil has now backed calls for the Fossil Fuel Treaty - thanks to the brilliant work of local activists in the area including @DundeeGP @FoEScot and North Sea Knitters
Campaigning works! ✊🏽 Get involved with the fight for global justice!

📢 BREAKING: Dublin City @DubCityCouncil is joining the global call for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty! 🔥
This motion, passed unanimously by the city Council, is a sign of the power of cities to be climate leaders.

Librarians in plea over 'never before seen cuts'. Libraries are well used, especially when there is investment in books, resources, buildings and staff and we hope this week's Scottish budget will help reduce these damaging cuts @CILIPinfo @publiclibnews bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c30n…

Glasgow can be proud that it has joined the 120 other cities across the world who are backing the #fossilfueltreaty called for by some of the most climate- vulnerable countries.
Credit to Cllr Lana Reid-McConnell @LanaRMc for tabling today's motion 👏

🌍 Momentum is building for a #FossilFuelTreaty!
Today at #COP29, #Colombia hosted a press conference to share updates on the initiative to #EndFossilFuels through international cooperation. 🇨🇴
With 14 endorsing nations and growing support from around the world, this movement is paving the way for global action. ✊

Calling for a #FossilFuelTreaty for #climatejustice
@ScotParl today, alongside activists from an incredible range of determined and compassionate groups. #parentsforfuture @MothersCAN @parents4future @globaljusticenow

📣 BREAKING: More than 1,770 fossil fuel lobbyists attend #COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
New analysis from #KickBigPollutersOut finds that there are more Big Polluter representatives at COP29 than there are delegates from the ten most climate-vulnerable nations.
This is outrageous, and Big Polluter interference will cost millions of people their homes, livelihoods, and lives. We need to #WeedOutTheSnakes NOW!
🌡️ Global temperatures and greenhouse gas emissions are at all-time highs.
So why are 1770+ of fossil fuel lobbyists being given access to #COP29?
Big Polluters shouldn't get to dictate the terms of climate action after setting the planet on fire. We need:
➡️People In
⚠️#PollutersOut
✅An Accountability Framework to protect the talks from industry interference
We must #WeedOutTheSnakes and #KickBigPollutersOut NOW!

It was brilliant to be at the Scottish Parliament yesterday to call for Scotland to back the Fossil Fuel Treaty! 🙌🏽
The treaty would help bring a just transition that leaves no country, worker or community behind.
