Iran is burning mazut, one of the dirtiest fuels, to generate electricity. This produces massive volumes of toxic air pollution, which poisons millions of people in Iran, violating their human rights, including the right to a healthy environment. Iran must stop burning mazut!

I condemn the murder of environmental defenders Aly Domínguez and Jairo Bonilla in Honduras last week, and urge authorities to conduct & swift and independent investigation. The lives & rights of environmental activists must be protected & respected.

Important thread about the quest for justice of Esther Kiobel and other widows of the "Ogoni 9". A David-against-Goliath fight that symbolizes the extensive damage of the #FossilFuels industry and the difficulty of obtaining justice and remedy from corporations

😲👀More than 90% of carbon offsets sold by one of the world's biggest providers found to be worthless. But polluters -inc fossil corp #Shell- use this scam to legitimise pollution-as-usual. #NetZeroIsNOTZero 🌍🌳🔥 Thank you @pgreenfielduk The Guardian theguardian.com/environment/20…

5 years ago, the Canadian Government announced it was creating an ombudsperson with the power to independently investigate allegations of abuse by Canadian companies around the world. We are still waiting. People are still being harmed.

I am shocked that the Netherlands would arrest a climate activist on serious charges merely for the act of organizing a protest. In the face of a climate emergency, non-violent climate activists are heroes, not criminals.

I am extremely disturbed by reports that prominent Eswatini human rights lawyer Thulani Maseko was killed today at his home. A thorough investigation must be undertaken.

A few days after António Guterres denounced the continued expansion of fossil fuel production, Colombia announces it will no longer grant new oil and gas exploration licenses 👏✊ This is a 1st and necessary step towards a post-fossil economy. Onwards! theguardian.com/world/2023/jan…

From today's briefing: António Guterres condemns the killing of Thulani Maseko, a leading human rights lawyer in Eswatini. He calls on all actors to shun violence and encourages them to engage in a meaningful dialogue to reach a lasting solution to the challenges of the country.

Humanity went for a walk (and probably a paddle).

"You cant cut food, water, electricity that are vital for the lives of 2.3 million people who have been living in a blockade for 16 years. You cant wipe out entire innocent families, let a health system be destroyed, raze entire districts to the ground" @HRW's Executive Director

🚨 Human rights DELETED from new version of text on Loss and Damage Fund 🚨 Ahead of #TC5, a new text was published by the co-chairs. In this text, #HumanRights are no longer part of the objectives & scope of the #LossAndDamage Fund. This is unacceptable. #HumanRights4LDF

Let's start the day with a miracle. Salām #GazaWar
