ICYMI: Landmark climate ruling from the European Court of Human Rights 🎉

'It cannot be a political choice whether to respect human rights or not.'

Despite many recent natural disasters like these floods, which are worsened by climate change, governments are not doing enough to phase out fossil fuels. States must intensify their efforts to combat climate change to protect human rights.

The NY Assembly Majority Carl E. Heastie should be absolutely ashamed. It’s not complicated - #NYHEAT is THE climate and energy affordability policy on the table.

New Yorkers have been counting on their assembly members to cut their rising utility bills. They aren’t delivering.

This is outrageous. New York communities are already paying *billions* to deal with climate impacts, while Big Oil continues to rake in record profits.

Governor Kathy Hochul, do the right thing and help #MakePollutersPay !

NEW: Al Sharpton's annual civil rights conference featured a panel with four Democrats speaking 'truth to power' about clean energy and 'civil rights'

Landmark ruling. For the first time, an international tribunal has ruled that a county’s failure to take adequate action on climate change is a violation of human rights. This decision will resonate in courts around the world.

The European Court of Human Rights has set an historic precedent by ruling that the Swiss government has failed to comply with its duties under the European Convention concerning climate change and not done enough to protect older Swiss women from harm. amn.st/6016wbaWk

🧵A live thread on key stakes & takeaways from the Court's hearing taking place in Strasbourg⬇️

Thread on the stakes of climate change, the (wrong) direction we are heading, and how fossil fuel interests & their allies are restricting protest in order to protect their outrageous profit

India’s top court expands right to life to include ‘effects of climate change.’ The ruling recognises that climate change threatens “constitutional guarantees of equality and health”, impacting factors such as air pollution, disease, and food security. independent.co.uk/climate-change…

One of the cruel ironies of climate change - it hurts most those who contributed the least to greenhouse gas emissions. While fossil fuel companies continue to deflect, distract, and expand fossil fuel investments, human suffering grows.

Oh hey! It’s #EarthMonth 🌍 and we have sooo much planned. Join us in the fight to end fossil fuels and build a safe world for kids!

We’re kicking off our month of family friendly action this Sunday 4/7 in BK: see you there?

“My eye is gone. I cannot change that.

But the way these weapons are used?

That can be changed.”

Leidy isn’t letting the story end here. Neither should we.
