@StockholmPlus50 @mitzijonelle @xiyebastida @FarzanaJhumu @zuhairkowshik .@xiyebastida explains the worldview that she grew up with and why that intergenerational point of view steers her in the direction of #FossilFuelTreaty
@StockholmPlus50 @mitzijonelle @xiyebastida @FarzanaJhumu @zuhairkowshik She adds that we need to tell the stories of the communities that are being affected. Everyone in the Global North need to advocate for those in the South who are being targeted by extraction activities.
@StockholmPlus50 @mitzijonelle @xiyebastida @FarzanaJhumu @zuhairkowshik .@zuhairkowshik explains how a diverse group of youth were brought together to set out policy expectations for @StockholmPlus50. He shares their demands.
@StockholmPlus50 @mitzijonelle @xiyebastida @FarzanaJhumu @zuhairkowshik Kalo Afeaki stresses that we know the science. we know that fossil fuels are driving this. We know that fossil fuels are being burnt at the detriment of the Global South. It is a major disservice.
@StockholmPlus50 @mitzijonelle @xiyebastida @FarzanaJhumu @zuhairkowshik She stresses that we can't keep talking about the same things for decade more. The time for action is now.
@StockholmPlus50 @mitzijonelle @xiyebastida @FarzanaJhumu @zuhairkowshik .@FarzanaJhumu emphasizes that climate justice should look like a person who is fighting. Don't listen to the capitalism and greenwashing that puts too much emphasis on individual choices in the climate crisis.
@StockholmPlus50 @mitzijonelle @xiyebastida @FarzanaJhumu @zuhairkowshik Kalo Afeaki shares that "we need more young people at decision making tables. If the elders cant make the right choices, then we will step up." Young people are innovators and drivers of change.
@StockholmPlus50 @mitzijonelle @xiyebastida @FarzanaJhumu @zuhairkowshik There is the saying that if you're not at the table then you're on the menu. And I'd rather not be eaten adds Kalo Afeaki.

@alexraf, Global diretor of @fossilfueltreaty and @MaryMoeonoKolio, Pacific Climate Warriors sharing the main ideas on the fossil fuel world we want to build together: fossilfueltreaty.org/livestream
1/ @alexraf: We’ve heard across all of the panels that the risks of the FF industry are not only risks to our climate goals,we’ve heard about the ways that the FF industry risks our reliance with nature from communities in the Amazon facing continuing logic of the colonizers
2/ @alexraf: the risk of climate extraction is not only to the local community, it’s also to the overall structure of our political economy, and our culture.

1/ Mi Nemonte Nenquimo, soy una mujer Waorani, Amazonia del Ecuador. Gracias a la selva vivimos conexion y armonia con la naturaleza y queremos defenderla. Para eso, quiero compartir mi conocimiento
2/ Pero, con la "civilizacion", en la Amazonia vivimos una amenaza grande. La extraccion del petroleo causa la destruccion de nuestro territorio y si yo resisto y comparto mi conocimiento es para mi pueblo pero también para el mundo. Soy una mujer que resiste, una mujer guardiana

🇪🇺@SaschaGabizon @WECF_INT
🇺🇦Svitlana Romanko #StandWithUkraine
🇨🇲Sylvie Ndongmo @WILPF
🇺🇸Joni Seager from Bentley University
🇸🇪@BeaFihn from @nuclearban

#PreSummit: fossilfueltreaty.org/livestream
1/ Svitlana Romanko #StandWithUkraine: The war in Ukraine is not another war. Russia is a threat with high #FossilFuel resources that could be weaponized & used also against other countries.

The #FossilFuelTreaty provides the missing mechanism to phase-out fossil fuel and HOPE!
2/ Sylvie Ndongmo @WILPF, Cameroon: first of all, i am not in #Stockholm50 in person bec I could not get a visa. I was requested to travel to RDC or Nigeria to get a visa which is another example of inequalities and colonial power.

@StockholmPlus50 .@jrockstrom shares his frustration that we are still continuing with rampant fossil fuel production when it has linked directly to more deaths than the COVID-19 pandemic has. We risk destabilizing the entire planet when we should hand our children a livable planet, but we're not
