“It is of grave concern that while rich countries have blocked discussions on #ClimateFinance and equity at every turn during these talks, #CarbonMarkets are quietly progressing. Big polluters must be delighted.” -Sara Shaw, climate justice & energy coordinator #SB58 #climate

Sri Lanka has lost thousands of hectares of forest and wetland ecosystems due to planned fires in this drought season. While it is the season for preparing land for chena cultivation, main motivation behind most of these forest fires are land gabbing and poaching animals.

Yesterday's low points of the #PlasticsTreaty negotiations are proving the need to challenge the "Global Coalition for Plastics Sustainability" (AKA petrochemical States upholding the power of the industry) That's exactly what we plan to do✊

Too much focus on ‘fairytale solutions’ at #COP28⚠️ “Cop is increasingly a space where many people come in trying to promote technological solutions. These are no solutions at all, if they result in grabbing or poisoning land.” Sara Shaw via The Independent independent.co.uk/climate-change…

Our assessment of #COP16Colombia Corporations are figuring out every way to avoid regulation in policy and practice, while pushing for false solutions such as biodiversity offsets and destroying nature. We'll continue mobilising alongside allies to end this!👇
