For decades, fossil fuels failed to deliver real energy access and opportunity to most Africans.
New research by
@powershiftafrica.bsky.social , @canclimateaction.bsky.social, and partners shows how 100% renewable energy can power Africa’s future.
It’s time to focus on what actually works!
How do you assess climate loss and damage that defies monetary valuation - like the loss of cultural heritage?
Our new @iki-germany.bsky.social project in the Pacific led by
SPREP combines modelling and domestic knowledge to try and answer these difficult questions and plan for the future.

Purple background with a loud hailer and a purse in grey. White text in a green star shape. Our losses have a price. Polluters must pay it! From rising seas to burning forests, frontline communities are paying the price. The ICJ Advisory Opinion could finally make those responsible pay too.
Born from the urgent voices of Pacific youth defending their culture & homes, this ruling could compel major polluters to pay for loss & damage, ensuring vulnerable communities are no longer left to suffer alone.
It's time time for accountability!

Blue background with white and bright blue lettering, and a small image of a power station chimney. CO2 is on the image in a cloud format. No more empty promises. Time to pay what's owed! The ICJ can help shift the cost from frontline nations to fossil fuel giants.
The ICJ’s decision on July 23 can redefine international obligations, making it clear that polluters cannot evade responsibility.
It will mark a turning point where legal clarity can push for systemic change and for the protection of future generations.

Yellow background with a raised fist in purple, surrounded by blue, pink and red flowers. Climate crisis is a human rights crisis. The ICJ has been asked to say what we already know: people have a legal right to a safe, liveable planet.
Heads up! For the 1st time in history, the world’s highest court is stepping in to define what justice means in the face of climate breakdown.
The International Court of Justice ruling could transform int'l law by recognising that climate change violates human rights.

What can you do to help #FillTheFund?
First, let's be clear:
This is not about charity! This is about justice!
Join us in peaceful protests in person and online, donate to the campaign if you can, and talk about it to anyone in your community.
Everyone has a role to play, big and small. ✊

Why support the #FillTheFund campaign?
The Loss & Damage Fund exists, but it's a hollow promise. Wealthy nations have pledged less than 0.2% of what's needed, and even that isn't being paid! It's a disgrace.
An empty fund helps no one! The fund is empty because of empty promises. 🧵 2/3
📢 NEW Global Campaign Launched: #FillTheFund!
Join Climate Action Network and allies as we demand wealthy nations and corporate polluters meet their historical responsibility to pay for addressing Loss and Damage.
The time for promises is over! The time to pay up is now! 💰✊

📣NEW Global Campaign Launched: #FillTheFund!
The establishment of the Fund for responding to #LossandDamage was a breakthrough, but it remains critically underfunded—little more than an empty promise.
Rich nations are now shirking their historical responsibility.
