Climate, Economic and Social Justice

The world’s eyes are on Brazil as the host of upcoming #COP30. There is no justification for a state policy implemented through bloodshed.

Key powerful governments and industry have sought to sabotage the EU corporate sustainability and due diligence directive, which sets standards that polling shows Europeans want.

“These punitive welfare systems increase economic insecurity, erode trust in public institutions and leave millions feeling humiliated and abandoned by mainstream politics.”

New ISHR report reveals how governments work behind the scenes to defund the UN’s human rights work A groundbreaking report published by ISHR today, reveals for the first time how a small group of States led by China and Russia are obstructing and hijacking budget negotiations at the United Nations…

Authoritarians seek to destroy alternate sources of power and authority - this includes the UN and their crucial work on human rights especially. Safeguarding those institutions is key to fighting rising authoritarian momentum. ishr.ch/latest-updat...

Climate change poses an immediate threat to the human rights of Pacific communities. Those who emigrate to New Zealand face visa systems that are not fit for purpose. Our new Amnesty report calls on the government of NZ to create humane pathways for migration. www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

Publishing the COP30 host country agreement with Brazil is a positive step for transparency Amnesty International and 34 other organizations released a joint letter welcoming the publication of the agreement between the Brazilian government and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (...

When people are displaced by climate change, what rights do they have? As sea levels rise and temperatures soar, people may leave their homes to seek a better future for themselves and their families.

Proliferating UNnatural disasters driven by climate change displace people all over the planet. This report looks at what such displacement looks and feels like in the Pacific. The Pacific may be first, but their fight is all of our fight. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ca...

It is time to seize this moment, to end the horror, to heal what can still be healed, and to protect what remains of our shared humanity

Let us not falter. Let us rise. Our struggle to end Israel's genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, its cruel apartheid and illegal occupation is not over.

Polling underaken by Amnesty and @globalwitness.org shows that the majority of most EU residents want their governments to make sure that business operations protect people & planet! Rolling back protections serves the profits for a few at the expense of the many www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

E&E News: DOE adds ‘climate change’ and ‘emissions’ to banned words list It is the latest in a series of Trump administration efforts to dispute, silence or downplay climate change.

Banning words from government science reports is a hallmark authoritarian move. Authoritarians destroy public goods, alternate sources of authority, & avenues of dissent. Free expression is central to scientific rigor & collective action for human rights. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

Amnesty was honored to share the stage with our colleagues @hrw.org and a distinguished panel from @clubdemadrid.bsky.social to have a direct, practical conversation about how we can fight for solidarity and human rights at a time of global fracturing, rising inequality, and attacks on human rights

‘Your Countries Are Going to Hell’: Trump Airs His Grievances at the U.N.

“Climate change is a con.” Authoritarians lie and peddle in conspiracy theories to undermine trust and reliance on any institution but themselves and their coterie. When it comes to climate, generations will suffer. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/u...

Great to see Colombia taking leadership on climate action by organizing first fossil fuel phase out conference.

@amnesty.org endorses the call for a Fossil Fuel Non-proliferation Treaty www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

Amnesty is proud to stand with many many others in calling out the few who plunder the earth at the expense of the majority. Human rights are not for sale, nor is the planet on which we all depend. @erikaguevararosas.bsky.social

¿Sabías que el 1% más rico del mundo genera tantas emisiones de carbono como los 5 000 millones de personas más pobres?

La explotación de los recursos de la Tierra SOLO beneficia a unos POCOS.

¿Vale la pena arriesgar nuestra civilización?

Riva Jalipa: we must fight to finance our rights You have to be there to speak truth to power. Everyone has a role to play.

"Every conflict is ultimately a struggle over resources...Th(e) ability to enjoy essential rights and live with humanity is part of socio-economic justice... it is crucial to tie these rights to the political economy and the way things work at the global level." www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ca...

Climate policy should be led by communities harmed by climate change and by scientists - not polluters. Thanks to sustained people power, attendees at COP must now disclose who is funding their attendance, ensuring conflicts of interest are public. kickbigpollutersout.org/COP30-next-s...

Accountability NOW For Inadequate Disaster Response Pakistan's climate disaster response and management remains inadequate even as monsoon rains and floods claim nearly 900 lives in 2025.

Ongoing flooding in Pakistan has taken more than 800 lives. Pakistan contributes less than 1% of global emissions annually. But, Amnesty’s research also shows that there is more to be done locally to protect human rights. Sign our petition. www.amnesty.org/en/petition/...

@amnestynorge.bsky.social welcomes Government Pension Fund divestment from some companies based in Israel, but move falls short of addressing a systemic failure of its current ethical safeguards 🧵

Global: International Court of Justice’s landmark opinion bolsters fight for climate justice and accountability   Reacting to the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) first Advisory Opinion clarifying the obligations of states in respect of climate change, Mandi Mudarikwa, Head of Strategic Litigation at Amnesty International, said:  “Today’s opinion is a landmark moment for climate justice and accountability.

Today’s opinion is a landmark moment for climate justice and accountability.

The ICJ made clear that the full enjoyment of human rights cannot be ensured without protection of the climate system and other parts of the environment.

History is on the calendar. Tomorrow: The #ICJ will rule on the climate crisis, a decision that could pave the way for climate reparations and human rights protections long overdue.
Repost to stand with us to demand legal clarity and climate justice.

Climate action is a human rights obligation NOT a political choice

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights' advisory opinion has affirmed that states have an obligation to take immediate, concrete, and positive action to urgently tackle the climate crisis.

We need a global financial system which works for people and planet now! @rivajalipa.bsky.social

@rivajalipa.bsky.social for a discussion on #reparativejustice at #FFD4Sevilla

Why are the Sustainable Development Goals way off track? It’s looking less and less likely that the SDGs will be achieved by 2030 – and it’s all because of significant underinvestment for a decade.

As countries gather at #FFD4Sevilla @amnesty.org
calls for a broad transformation of development finance, taxation, debt, and public and private investment to ensure no one is left behind #SDGs
