'We know taxes on Europe’s most polluting companies and on the super rich could generate billions, and go a long way to support the energy revolution here in Europe and in the Global South” — 🗣Nicolò Wojewoda (@[email protected]) Europe Regional Director, 350 Europe

🚨BREAKING: The G7 Climate Ministerial held in Italy has released its final text: all 7 members have committed to #PhaseOut coal power before 2035 – marking an unprecedented commitment from the U.S. & Japan, the only outlying G7 countries not to have set a coal phase out date.

Good news: Wind energy has outpaced fossil fuels in UK electricity generation.

But the government risks undermining this progress with new oil and gas licenses.

Will Rishi Sunak choose energy security and a safe future, or continue giving tax breaks to big polluters?

🗣350 REQUEST: Help us target France at the #G7 Energy and Climate Meeting

Why this and why now? 🧵

#G7 Italy

As #G7 energy ministers meet starting this weekend, Soraya FETTIH and I write for Euronews why rich nations must provide support for the energy transition and why #France is well positioned to stop token gestures and show some real #climate leadership 1/2

euronews.com/green/2024/04/…

Ahead of the G7 Climate Ministerial taking place over April 28-30 in Turin, Italy, Andreas Sieber and FETTIH Soraya write that France has a unique opportunity to demonstrate leadership on the climate action front.

Why is this important?

🚨BREAKING: FOUR ARRESTED! We've just disrupted BP's AGM because they are profiting from the genocide in Gaza and from climate breakdown.
BP was awarded 1 of 12 Israeli licenses for gas exploration off the coast of Gaza

We are in shock at this overreach of peaceful protest.

On #EarthDay , we shared the news that our cofounder & Executive Director @MayBoeve is moving on from her role, though not without seeing us settled with a visionary new leader first!

'Globally, the wealthiest 1% emit the same as the poorest 66% combined. This injustice is not lost on ordinary citizens.'

The money exists to fix the climate crisis.

But it needs to be shifted into real solutions.
