🙌Fantastic news! The @IACourtHR just ruled that states have a legal duty to tackle the #climate emergency and guarantee our right to a safe climate. 🧵Thread ⬇️
@IACourtHR @viejadeambiente @ITLOS_TIDM @OAS_official @IPCC_CH 22/ 📌States should not just refrain from causing significant environment damage but also have a positive obligation to adopt measures to guarantee the protection, restoration and regeneration of ecosystems in a manner that is compatible with best available science.

☠️Jeff Bezos’s wedding emitted 1,000 t CO₂ - just from guests’ private jets. ✈️Yesterday at #FFD4, the EU + 8 countries backed a tax on luxury flights. 🤑Because billionaires shouldn't party while the planet burns. #TaxTheirBillions #MakePollutersPay

As #India & #Pakistan rattle their nuclear sabres, the real issue may be control of the Indus River. Tensions over Indus water sharing are nothing new. But with a 50% water deficit looming due to #climatechange, escalation to all-out war is a real risk. https://t.co/A0WHgftgd8

Today, #InternationalWorkersDay, millions of workers in 🇵🇰 🇮🇳 🇮🇷 face temps close to the limits of human survivability. Without sick pay, air conditioning, or robust heat regulations, informal workers must either lose wages or lose their health. Climate justice = labour justice.

Once-theoretical fire behaviour, including fire tornadoes, is now becoming routine due to #climate change. https://t.co/PKRDT4MWR1

John King captured footage of a 100-metre-tall fire column only 50 metres from his back door. Fire analysts say the phenomenon is becoming more common as the climate changes.

Important victory for the #StopEACOP campaign as Chubb becomes the 30th insurer to refuse to cover the pipeline project. Without insurance, the project cannot go ahead. Insurers who have yet to take a stand, like AIG, need to step up now.

#Climate defenders and indigenous leaders have scattered ashes from Amazon forest fires outside Brazil's Ministry of Foreign Affairs - demanding an end to fossil fuels and a just energy transition, as well as recognition of indigenous land rights. https://t.co/vC8l532VKA

US tariffs likely to trigger a full-blown debt crisis in developing countries: - Countries w/ high debt payments all hit with tariffs - Borrowing costs will rise - Global downturn will tank export revenues - No benefit from falling dollar
debtjustice.org.uk
Countries with high debt payments all hit with tariffs. Borrowing costs increasing. Largest impact will be global downturn hitting export revenues.

How will Trump's tariffs affect #renewables? Our analysis shows they won't slow global momentum for clean energy. The US now accounts for only 7% of the world's #solar market. But they will hurt ordinary people, especially Americans . https://t.co/v2KxZaLFAz

@LulaOficial Brazil has the money, it's just not being put in the right places. What's missing is the courage to make bold decisions on fossil fuel phaseout. Visionary leadership is what @LulaOficial brought to social policy - now, as #COP30 chair, we need you to do the same for #climate.

Dear President @LulaOficial, you say #Brazil needs to produce more oil in order to fund clean energy. We have a better idea: you can stop giving $14.5bn a year to the #fossil industry and invest it in renewables instead.🧵

Once a climate champion, Brazil's president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, is pushing for more oil drilling, even as the country prepares to host the UN climate conference.

Carbon colonialism: Big polluters Japan & South Korea pour billions into risky scheme to export their emissions for storage in poorer countries. “The real solution isn’t to bury carbon; it’s to stop digging up more,” says 350 Indonesia's @sisiliand. https://t.co/7juJwMmoXT

Renewables now account for 1/3 of US utility-scale generating capacity and almost 100% of new capacity being added. https://t.co/jDpW5Fyw0K

Renewable energy resources are kicking gas power plants to the curb in the US, with solar capacity additions leading the way.

With banks, asset managers and big companies all rushing like lemmings to abandon #netzero targets, the need for binding regulations and accountability measures to prevent mass #climate suicide has never been more urgent.
