📢Excited to see our new report released today, authored by @JordanADilworth and me, with new data findings on how many global fossil fuel assets are protected by investment treaties with #ISDS and their associated emissions. Thanks to @KylaTienhaara for reviewing our report.

📢 Side event at #SB62 next week: Addressing investment treaties to achieve Article 2.1(c) of the Paris Agreement 🗓️ 16 June 2025 🕒 15:00–16:15 📍 Room Berlin, WCCB (in-person only) Co-hosted by alongside @IIED, @ciel_tweets, @SEATINIUGANDA & @South_Centre

Do we need investor-state dispute settlement (#ISDS) provisions to protect and attract clean energy investment? Explore the latest briefing from @JordanADilworth and @EunjungLee_LDN looking at alternative mechanisms for shaping investment: https://t.co/DWXj3DjAsd

It looks like #isds will be included in the new UK-India investment treaty. UK left the #energychartertreaty fearing potential legal claims from European investors. Ironically, UK would now pose the same risk they wanted to avoid to India. https://t.co/UQmRkPIRsh

Very pleased to see this timely briefing out! In this briefing, we recommend investment treaty reform as a key policy area to address to strengthen EU's bilateral trade partnerships.

Germany slammed with €240m ICSID award under Energy Charter Treaty #ECT over offshore wind rules. Yet another warning shot that even clean energy isn’t safe from corporate tribunals #ISDS Scoop by @IAReporter

Thanks to @LandClimate for the opportunity to talk about #investmenttreaties and #isds and their impact on climate action.

🚨Exxon is using ISDS to sue the Dutch government—despite making billions from gas extraction. E3G’s @EunjungLee_LDN explains in @LandClimate how fossil fuel firms bypass national laws & challenge climate action. 👇 https://t.co/DFWU9Pm1J2

A great piece by @JosephEStiglitz on #investmenttrieaties and #isds. “It has become a form of legal terrorism, that rich companies use to discourage countries from addressing the needs of their citizens and protecting the global environment.” https://t.co/LH3oY47Y43

Another brilliant article by @guardian on #isds. “ISDS is now increasingly on the governments’ radar, that is it’s increasingly an issue for them to consider: whether implementing a particular policy might give rise to claims.” https://t.co/WC87TCddnR

📣Solutions for Our Climate (@forourclimate) is suing South Korea’s state-owned Korea Gas Corp. (KOGAS) to demand it cancels plans to invest in a LNG project in Mozambique. KOGAS is gambling away public money on a risky & dirty #FossilFuel project. More➡️ https://t.co/Sd34gM9gFG

“For us, it’s a principle of governments deciding power ... We were elected democratically." Must read on Greenland being sued by a mining company via ISDS for up to $11.5bn after passing legislation to ban uranium mining. https://t.co/xF5R5c7ln3

I was lucky enough to get invited onto the @TEDTalks stage to explain how our reliance on oil and gas is driving multiple crises, including a fuel poverty catastrophe in the UK, and how the movement against oil and gas expansion has never been stronger: https://t.co/46ZKcBJ8qL

➡️ More 🔎 policy attention on political risk insurance of #FDI could increase critical investments in issues such as the ⚡ climate transition—and help reform the outdated investment regime. @w_alschner argues in new edition of @IISD’s ITN 👇 https://t.co/cZAeUcDTZa

Yesterday, the House of Lords debated Colombia's call to urgently renegotiate its ISDS relationship with the UK. "ISDS provisions are undermining [Colombia's] sovereign democratic right to legislate to protect its indigenous community and environmental rights." - Lord Browne

Great piece by @CamilleCorcor10 in @LandClimate investigating #ISDS and its impact on climate. I said ISDS is highly relevant to climate discussions because one claim "could leave a big hole in that country’s finances." https://t.co/EnnJRjyd1B

As the article mentions, @e3g's recent blog found that the ECT is still "the most dangerous investment treaty to the energy transition", protecting a potential 319.7 Mt CO2e annually. To learn how we can address this threat:

Great to see my colleague @EunjungLee_LDN quoted in @LandClimate's article on how corporations use investment agreements w/ ISDS to block climate measures in the public interest:

Our latest blog on the Energy Charter Treaty #ect and investor-state dispute settlement #isds provisions is out! Kudos to brilliant co-author @JordanADilworth and comms colleagues @nestasmith and Hana.

The UK's Labour government has pledged to provide £11.6bn of international climate finance by 2026. But meeting this goal relies on a Conservative-era decision to change what the UK defines as "climate finance". This has added an extra £1.7bn without providing any new money.
