Vanuatu pursues new UN resolution to turn ICJ climate opinion into action In a landmark opinion, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) said states have a legal responsibility to act on climate change

The Pacific island nation of Vanuatu said on Monday that it is drafting a UN resolution to turn a landmark judicial opinion on states’ legal responsibilities to tackle climate change from words into “political action”.

UN General Assembly Opens with Ever Greater Urgency to Uphold the International Rule of Law - Center for International Environmental Law At the 80th United Nations General Assembly, States must uphold the international rule of law and protect human rights.

🌐 With #UNGA underway, States must uphold the international rule of law to prevent the continuation of genocide in Gaza.

There can be no environmental justice while the universal nature of human rights faces such grave and flagrant violations.

A much needed & timely assessment of insanely risky geoengineering technologies by over 40 cross disciplinary experts

Frontiers | Safeguarding the polar regions from dangerous geoengineering: a critical assessment of proposed concepts and future prospects Fossil-fuel burning is heating the planet with catastrophic consequences for its habitability and for the natural world on which our existence depends. Halti...

An authoritative group of #climate scientists have reviewed 5 prominent ideas to #geoengineer the polar regions.

They conclude that these ideas are economically and practically unfeasible, environmentally dangerous & have major governance & ethics issues.

This is huge. Africa is drawing a big red line, fighting back against efforts to normalise these extreme technologies.

You don't fight pollution with pollution, you don't heal the climate by harming it in new ways.

Its time for a Solar Geoengineering Non Use Agreement

On ‘Smoke and Mirrors’, CIEL’s Mary Church @mmchch.bsky.social & @matrixlaw.bsky.social's Kate Cook expose geoengineering as a risky distraction from real #ClimateAction.
It won’t solve the crisis and could make it even worse. 🌍🔥

Silencing Dissent: UK and US Actions Undermine Rights to Protest and International Law - Center for International Environmental Law WASHINGTON, July 10, 2025—Two recent events demonstrate an alarming escalation in the trend of State efforts to undermine human rights obligations and international law relating to free speech and the...

🚨 Silencing dissent is a threat to us all.

We call on all States to:
⚖️ Uphold obligations under international law
✊ Protect the right to protest
❌ End reprisals
🛑 Stop enabling genocide, apartheid & occupation.

A new direct action group calling itself 'Yvette Cooper' claims to have targeted Time Logistics for providing transport in Britain for Israel's Elbit Systems. Its message to the government on social media says, "if you want to ban Palestine Action, you'll have to proscribe Yvette Cooper too"

Fight the Proscription of Palestine Action

Legal challenges of course are underway - please donate if you can www.crowdjustice.com/case/palesti...

Palestine Action are acting in the spirit of the *obligation* to prevent genocide, in context of a deeply complicit UK Govt & clearly also Scottish political class

shame on each & every one of you who voted for proscription or abstained

ps **YOU CAN'T ABSTAIN ON GENOCIDE**

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, and I know I speak for millions of people up and down this country:

We are all Palestine Action 🇵🇸

If thousands of us stand up and say "I support #PalestineAction", what is the government going to do? Lock us all up for "terrorism" offences?
This is where we show them how solidarity works.
My latest with the great @doubledown.news

UN rapporteur says tech firms and corporations profiting from Israeli genocide Francesca Albanese says major tech companies and executives should be held to account in new report documenting profiteering from Israeli 'displacement and replacement' of Palestinians

UN rapporteur says tech firms and corporations profiting from Israeli genocide - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/un-israel-corporations-economy-genocide-report-reveals

We Are All Palestine Action.

And louder, for those at the back:
WE ARE ALL PALESTINE ACTION!!

Whatever they *attempt* to legislate, we will defend dissent, protect the right to protest, and fight for people over profit: we will not be silenced, we will be ungovernable.

If you are not concerned by the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation because you think it doesn’t impact you, you are wrong.

This is an authoritarian abuse of power by the government & it curtails all of our civil liberties #r4today

We are all Palestine Action.

Yet again the US is backing acts of terrorism by Israel which threaten to engulf the region in war. Yet again Britain is trying to excuse the inexcusable.

German government to host climate talks while enabling genocide - Center for International Environmental Law BONN, Germany, June 16, 2025 — As the climate movement gathers in Bonn for the 62nd session of the Subsidiary Bodies (SB62) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the C...

Today the UN climate negotiations started in Bonn. As we gather to discuss climate justice, we can't ignore Israel's genocide in Gaza & the States enabling these atrocities, incl. Germany.

No climate justice without human rights - no climate justice under occupation 🍉

📢 "There is no #ClimateJustice under occupation". As 🇺🇳 UN climate talks #SB62 open in Bonn 🇩🇪, civil society & Indigenous Peoples stand in solidarity with the people of 🇵🇸Palestine, denouncing the complicity of all those governments that enable the ongoing genocide through their silence or weapons

Grateful for the opp to dive into geoengineering with Kate Cook on @matrixlaw.bsky.social ClimateJustice podcast

As these extremely risky ideas unfortunately gain traction (inc with UK govt x-ing major red line to fund outdoor experiments) they badly need exposure to critical scrutiny

All in the name of avoiding the transformation action that is the only path to avoid catastrophic climate breakdown.

Even if solar geoengineering ‘worked’ by its own criteria (which is impossible to ever test without large scale long term deployment) it supposes a form of accounting where certain lives *may* be saved and others sacrificed. And who will have the power to decide?

Fantastic piece highlighting how solar geoengineering is being pushed on Africa - and African resistance.

Make no mistake - these dangerous techno-fixes are a deeply disturbing new face of colonialism.

CAN calls on leaders to ensure Israel’s immediate compliance with International Law, engage in the Diplomatic Humanitarian Convoy, open borders, restore the ceasefire, & re-engage in real negotiations for peace, dignity and justice for Palestinians.

Solar Geoengineering Non-Use Agreement Our initiative stands against such emerging initiatives to explore planetary techno-fixes as a climate policy option.

In recognition of the enormous risks posed by these dangerous distractions there is growing political momentum for a Non-Use Agreement, backed by countries across the global south, 500+ multidisciplinary academics & almost 2000 civil society organizations www.solargeoeng.org
