The Canada-US fossil fuel relationship is different to EU-US but most of these demands hold for Canada too.

Time to show you mean it about middle powers working together against US bullying @mark-carney.bsky.social

‘Extremely dangerous precedent’ set by Trump’s attack on Venezuela, six countries warn – live Spain, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Uruguay say US actions ‘constitute an extremely dangerous precedent for peace and regional security’

Just a reminder that @mark-carney.bsky.social has every opportunity to keep the 'Elbows Up' promise he ran on in this moment and stand with our principled neighbours. He's actively choosing not to.

Notice how the difference between now and the Northern Gateway a decade ago is the weaponization of Indigenous co-ownership? Economic reconciliation is the tactic of our oppressors, and comes at the cost of our traditional economies. Solidarity with the Coastal First Nations resisting.

At #COP30 the EU poses as champion of a #fossilfuel fuel phase-out.

But it doesn’t need others to move first: it funds it, burns it, banks the profits, then points the finger South.

That’s not climate ambition – it’s demagoguery.

@bronwentucker.bsky.social says: "GS countries can't leverage enough private finance for the transition with the pennies of climate finance they're offered. This approach has been pushed for years & the results are in. Energy transitions are driven by public funding & public planning."

COP30 Presidency presents new draft text that fails on equity - Oil Change International This is outrageous. The Presidency has presented a shamefully weak text that fails to mention fossil fuels, fails to deliver accountability towards rich countries’ finance obligations, and only makes ...

1/ 🚨It’s down to the wire at #COP30. The latest draft text is shamefully weak. No mention of fossil fuels. No real finance commitments. Just vague adaptation promises.

YouTube video by Down To Earth Reactions to November 21 #cop30 Text: On transitioning away from #fossilfuels #brazil

@bronwentucker.bsky.social and @aygoswami.bsky.social on latest draft decision text at #COP30. "What we would need to see for a roadmap [on fossil fuel phaseout] to be useful at all is ... rich countries going first and fastest and real public finance."

🎥 www.youtube.com/shorts/qFUJ1...

@cop30brazil.bsky.social President do Lago was just quoted @theguardian.com: for a fossil fuel phaseout "you don’t need public money from developed countries".

This is false & risks fuelling tensions in the talks where developing countries facing debt crises underline that public finance is key.

Oil Change International response to COP30 Presidency claims we don’t need public money for the energy transition - Oil Change International Bronwen Tucker, Public Finance lead at Oil Change International, said: “It’s distressing to hear the COP30 Presidency say we don’t need more public funding for the energy transition.

🚨 In the final days of #COP30, we need to be very clear:

📣A just transition away from fossil fuels needs public money, and rich countries need to pay their fair share 📣

The COP30 presidency risks derailing the entire negotiations by saying otherwise.

4/ @bronwentucker.bsky.social: COP30 must commit to reforming unfair global financial rules to help low-income countries free up the funds they need for climate action.

'Behind Every Barrel of Oil Is a Trace of Blood': 25 Countries Helped Fuel Gaza Genocide "States have a moral and legal obligation to end these fuel flows immediately," one campaigner said.

"The same fossil fuel system that drives the climate crisis also drives war, occupation, and genocide," said @bronwentucker.bsky.social of @oilchange.bsky.social.

Bam! What is the acronym everyone is talking about at Cop30? Securing the Belém Action Mechanism is a top priority for climate justice advocates at the talks in Brazil

Of everything that could come out of #COP30, I am most hopeful for the just transition mechanism (BAM!) that has been hard fought by labour & Indigenous & feminist movements together.

We just need @juliedabrusin.bsky.social to stop blocking it! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

COP30 Needs a Security Upgrade and Better Air Conditioning, UN Says The first week of COP30 is wrapping up on a dramatic note. The United Nations is complaining to Brazil about lax security and half-built facilities that have left delegates sweating in oppressive heat...

The media at #COP30 have a moral duty to start reporting this properly. There can be no climate justice without Indigenous rights and leadership. It's the fossil fuel CEOs that are security threats, not Indigenous leaders. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Baku-to-Belém Roadmap - Oil Change International Baku-to-Belém Roadmap Fails to Deliver Promised Plan to Scale-Up Climate Finance

A new climate finance report, launched by #COP29 & #COP30 presidencies, fails to deliver the promised plan to scale-up funds to developing countries. Rich govts must come to COP30 ready to deliver a concrete plan to provide grant-based public climate finance.

The only “green” thing about the #COP30 Circle of Finance Ministers’ report is how much it recycles failed ideas. Gov must stop dodging responsibility: end fossil fuel handouts, tax the rich, cancel unjust debt, + fund a just transition. oilchange.org/news/ministe...

Palestinian Coalition COP30 Demands - ‘No Climate Justice without Palestinian Liberation’ - Global Energy Embargo For Palestine

It's impossible to imagine multilateralism solving climate or *anything* while genocide continues.

So these #COP30 demands are the bare minimum. Leaders from @lulaoficialbluesky.bsky.social to @mark-carney.bsky.social must adopt energy & arms embargos NOW 🍉

Every year we get a clearer picture of the opportunity cost of our current path of austerity and war.

Canada must step up to pay its fair share to the Global South, not as an act of charity, but as an act of unlocking climate action for all of us.

We Can Pay For It - Oil Change International We Can Pay for It factsheet shows rich counties can unlock $6.6 trillion for climate action

🚨New research🚨Rich countries can unlock $6.6 trillion for climate action by ending fossil fuels handouts, making polluters pay, defunding wars, taxing the super rich. There’s no shortage of $$ for action. It’s just in the wrong hands.

Israeli group strikes $35bn natural gas deal with Egypt despite Gaza conflict Flows from Israel’s Leviathan field will nearly triple by 2029 in what NewMed chief calls a ‘win-win’

"The deal deepens Egypt’s reliance on Israeli gas at a time when many Egyptians are angry at Israel’s offensive and disappointed that Cairo has not done more to alleviate the suffering of starving Gazans."

Mozambique LNG is a known site of environmental and human rights violations – and the US Export-Import Bank (EXIM) approved billions of tax dollars to fund this project without proper environmental review, economic assessments, or public input.
