Current Loss & Damage pledges are a disgrace 700M is unacceptable compared to the BILLIONS the Global South incurs in damages yearly from climate catastrophes #COP29 needs to get its priorities straight: Simplified direct access, equity in governance, urgent operationalisation

"This is a blow to communities everywhere bearing the brunt of climate inaction and corporate greenwashing. Still, people are rising up. We need an end to fossil fuels, no loopholes from false climate solutions and for big polluters to pay up.” Kirtana Chandrasekaran @FoEint
🆕 Today’s judgment is a setback for us, for the climate movement and for millions the world around who worry about their futures. All our hopes were set on this moment. #ClimateCaseShell (🧵1/6)

You know you're at a petrostate COP when Exxon gets to speak at a High Level Mitigation Ambition mtg held by the COP President. Exxon actually complains the world's not going fast enough on climate. Then they get a hug fm the World Bank President #COP29Baku #COP29Azerbaijan

The new Peterhead gas power station could be FIVE TIMES worse for the climate than feared. The developers have failed to produce an honest assessment of its harm. Urge your MSPs to expose the truth of its climate impact: https://t.co/83pKzFgmt9

Brilliant work here uncovering that the companies pushing the plan for a new gas-burning power station with CCS have *hugely* undercounted climate emissions and misled the Scottish Government. Climate impact could be FIVE TIMES WORSE than SSE & Equinor claim 🔥🔥🔥
SHARE TO EXPOSE New research has highlighted the huge climate pollution from a new gas power station at Peterhead. The companies could have underestimated its climate impact by 1 million tonnes every year.

Peak fares are a stealth tax on workers which is bad for the climate, bad for our communities and bad for people’s wallets. The Scottish Government’s own analysis shows that more people were choosing to travel by train, including those from lower incomes https://t.co/XWWRyXViQ6

Passengers travelling on peak time services on Scotland's largest rail operator will face huge fare rises at the end of next month.

🔎Our research has exposed how @scotgov are treating an application from greedy energy companies to build new gas burning power plant as a foregone conclusion. @JohnSwinney and his team need to stop listening to fossil fuel companies and reject this project completely.

HUGE win and huge implications ahead for oil & gas planning applications A genuinely historic moment in building our fossil free future Many many many congratulations and enormous thanks to Sarah Finch and local campaigners @WealdActionGr We all owe them a debt of gratitude
BREAKING - 5 year campaign wins big - Supreme Court says you can’t grant planning for oil and gas without considering greenhouse gas emissions when that oil is burned . Huge potential impact for any new oil gas or coal projects in UK

We collapsed a giant house of cards @ScotParl ♦️♠️♥️♣️ We are showing @scotgov how risky it would be to approve plans for new gas power at Peterhead 🏭 These plans would lock in fossil fuel use & are built on the rotten foundations of carbon capture. https://t.co/HHib6igiH4

A disgraceful decision, but we're nowhere near the end of this fight. We will not let this field be drilled.
