1/14 70th anniversary of #Germany's #DebtCancellation after #WWII! This laid the foundation for 🇩🇪’s economic "miracle". Here’s why a debt cancellation for the Global South is a necessary precondition to enable a #JustTransition & #ClimateJustice!

2/14 History taught us how intelligent debt policy works. February 27, 2023, marks the 70th anniversary of the cancellation of 🇩🇪’s debt. This contributed decisively to the reconstruction of a heavily war-torn country. erlassjahr.de/themen/londone… #DebtForClimate #LondonAgreement1953
3/14 Through the #LondonAgreement1953, signed on February 27, 1953, during the the age of bloc confrontation, the young 🇩🇪 nation was closely tied to the Western defense alliance. #DebtForClimate #CancelTheDebt

"Let me be clear: If this COP does not extend the commitment to phasing out fossil fuels beyond coal, to include oil and, critically, GAS, it’s a failure. Full Stop,"— CIEL's @NikkiReisch.
"We want to call out the hypocrisy of developed counties’ who are stalling to bring solutions for the #ClimateCrisis. What is lacking is political will & courage” @ninteretse, @350Africa.

NOW: At UK #COP27 pavilion, an update on #StopFundingFossils pledge promised last year by 39 countries & public banks to end all international public 💵 for fossils abroad and instead “fully prioritize” finance for clean & just energy transition by the end of 2022. Follow here 👇
Of the 16 major financing countries who signed onto the pledge, 6 have new policies that fully or almost fully #StopFundingFossils. More are expected in the coming days and weeks to meet 2022 deadline. Check for updates on our tracking briefing here ➡️ priceofoil.org/2022/10/07/lea…
If signatories follow through on their commitment, this will directly shift USD 28 billion a year out of fossil fuels and into clean energy, which would help shift even larger sums of public and private money.

@EU_Commission + 🇪🇺-countries need to stop their neocolonial grab for gas in Africa.
Instead, EU leaders must support a #JustTransition on the continent & accelerate a renewable based energy system globally @marietouss1❌#DontGasAfrica

European governments, esp🇩🇪, proactively push for new gas infrastructure in Africa even though we have local renewable potential in Europe. 🇪🇺leaders: Keep your Glasgow promise + listen to the @Europarl_EN: end new support for fossil fuels! @EU_Commission @vonderleyen @OlafScholz
🌍As #COP27 is about to begin, @Luisamneubauer @FoEint @CANEurope @Global_Witness @Germanwatch @ciel_tweets @amisdelaterre @AlbaGlezVilla & +100 signatories urge European govts to grasp this historic moment & act as true climate leaders.

New fossil #gas in Africa would:
🧑🏿🤝🧑🏿Destroy livelihoods, public health & biodiversity
💰 Undermine African development, saddling countries with more debt & stranded assets
☀️Prevent finance going to energy access & a transition to clean energy in Africa

.@EU_Commission 🇪🇺 needs to stop jeopardizing Africa’s development & access to electricity. Instead, as @marietouss1 says, EU leaders must support a #JustTransition in the continent & accelerate a renewable based energy system globally.
