⏰ The clock is ticking! We are entering the “official” last hours of #COP27, but we are still without a strong draft cover document📑
As @UN SG @antonioguterres stated “We are at crunch time in #COP27 negotiations” and we have an important question for World Leaders: 🧵

Ontario is proposing sweeping changes to the province’s environmental protections and cutting out the public from meaningful involvement in land use planning and decisions affecting their communities. Join @ontarionature in standing up for nature!

The #Nuchatlaht First Nation is in court to reclaim their territory, which has been impacted by industrial logging and fishing for almost a century at the hands of the B.C. government & giant corporations.

UNSG speaks truth to power at #UNGA
"Majority of young people suffer high levels of [#ClimateAnxiety] due to the state of our planet. 60% of your future voters feel betrayed by their Govs" #WeFeelThisToo
Thanks @antonioguterres! Now will politicians act on the #ClimateEmergency?
The Messenger retweeted
Politicians have forgotten how to feel. They are numb.
We are NOT.
75% of youth feel frightened by the future and 45% feel #climateanxiety affects their daily lives. This is the cost of government inaction. @BorisJohnson @JoeBiden: Will you up your game at #UNGA? #WeFeelThisToo

Join me! ask the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing to be more ambitious with its plans to grow the Greenbelt. The expansion should focus on protecting areas of high ecological and hydrological value that are under threat from urban development. ontarionature.good.do/growth…
