See you there!
Want to know how #COP30 outcomes stacked up against demands for debt and climate justice? 🌍💸
We’ve got you covered ✅ Our blog breaks down the failure to deliver on public #ClimateFinance and #DebtJustice, and the opportunities ahead as we continue the fight ✊🔥

Over the last two weeks we showed up at #cop30 in Belem, Brazil.
From the lively gathering of thousands at the Peoples’ Summit, to the negotiating halls. There were both victories and setbacks.
COP30 may be finished, but our struggle for justice continues. 💚
European financial institutions, including Barclays, are providing 💷billions of pounds to corporations propping up Israel’s illegal occupation and settlements in Palestinian territory.
These banks are complicit in Israel’s war crimes against the Palestinian people.
HUGE NEWS: Our Senior Campaigner Leon Sealey-Huggins finally manages to track down Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero Ed Miliband at the #COP30 climate talks to share our joint letter signed by 50+ orgs calling for a fair, just transition.

"In mainstream discussions of #climate change, however, there is hardly ever any consideration of the relationships between the colonial & imperialist histories either underpinning climate change’s causes, or structuring societies’ capacities to respond" -

Will the UK listen to the univocal, cross-constituency call from civil society? Politics for #thepeople, or politics for the few?

200+ orgs demand the #BelemActionMechanism to embed #justice, #fairness & #betterlives in climate action.
Thank you @carladenyer.bsky.social for raising it!
The UK still hasn’t backed it. Why? @ed-miliband.bsky.social @thecccuk.bsky.social
@waronwant.bsky.social @prosocial.bsky.social
Parts of Jamaica may see more than 30 inches of rain from Hurricane Melissa
This is the mark of an overheated earth, and the damage it causes will be terrifying. Please be prepared to help those providing aid
Climate injustice in real time. #Melissa

1/2 What does the EU's #2040 climate target loophole mean in reality?
The @oekoinstitut.bsky.social shows that using international carbon offsets for 3% of its emissions cuts means "the EU’s 2040 net emissions would be 30% higher" than if it made the cuts domestically

War on Want's Leon Sealey-Huggins told the inquiry:
“Climate justice means paying the ecological and climate debts owed by countries, like the UK, to the Global South. This means reforming unjust trade & tax systems which lose billions through leaky practices and tax evasion."
