Bold ideas are coming from @PWooders @Jojo_Mehta @mpklang @harjeet11 @reconciliaction

Follow this 🧵 or tune into our livestream now:
@StockholmPlus50 @PWooders @Jojo_Mehta @mpklang @harjeet11 @reconciliaction First idea is from @PWooders puts forward @beyondoilgas as a way to break the cycle with oil and gas.

Quebec is a member that sits on a large reserve of gas but in April they signed into law that it's illegal to exploit oil and gas on their territory.
@StockholmPlus50 @PWooders @Jojo_Mehta @mpklang @harjeet11 @reconciliaction @beyondoilgas .@beyondoilgas members aren't just making high level decisions but policy choices that are making tangible change. We need to help build the confidence of more countries to take these commitments.
@StockholmPlus50 @PWooders @Jojo_Mehta @mpklang @harjeet11 @reconciliaction @beyondoilgas .@Jojo_Mehta @EcocideLaw takes the stage next. She stresses that ecocide is as serious and dangerous as other international crimes, suggesting a huge gap within international law.
@StockholmPlus50 @PWooders @Jojo_Mehta @mpklang @harjeet11 @reconciliaction @beyondoilgas @EcocideLaw Placing ecological harm alongside other forms transforms how we approach our relationship with nature and establishes it's fundamentally wrong to damage the environment. @Jojo_Mehta adds that environmental crimes are the 4th most profitable in the world.
@StockholmPlus50 @PWooders @Jojo_Mehta @mpklang @harjeet11 @reconciliaction @beyondoilgas @EcocideLaw .@mpklang is up, sharing the huge movement of parliamentarians around the world who all call for a #FossilFuelFreeFuture. Governments need to be held responsible and accountable for a plan on fossil fuels.
@StockholmPlus50 @PWooders @Jojo_Mehta @mpklang @harjeet11 @reconciliaction @beyondoilgas @EcocideLaw He shares frustrations that parliamentarians are in a strong position to make the changes politically needed for a transition, yet they aren't explicitly mentioned in UN documents as part of the plan.
@StockholmPlus50 @PWooders @Jojo_Mehta @mpklang @harjeet11 @reconciliaction @beyondoilgas @EcocideLaw .@reconciliaction notes that some of the greatest inventions of humanity come from observing nature so let's stop wasting time and let's stop gambling with humanity's future.
@StockholmPlus50 @PWooders @Jojo_Mehta @mpklang @harjeet11 @reconciliaction @beyondoilgas @EcocideLaw He adds that subnational action is where change can happen and announces the initiative of CC35 with UNDP for a climate parliament with an aim of declaring climate emergencies in all municipal councils. The battle won't be won or loss in cities, but also in oceans and in forests
@StockholmPlus50 @PWooders @Jojo_Mehta @mpklang @harjeet11 @reconciliaction @beyondoilgas @EcocideLaw .@harjeet11 shares that fossil fuel companies are getting subsidies of $11 million each minute. Campaigners fail because they focus too much on their own countries but we need to focus on global inequality and justice.
@StockholmPlus50 @PWooders @Jojo_Mehta @mpklang @harjeet11 @reconciliaction @beyondoilgas @EcocideLaw How are countries living with the legacy of colonialism? That's why we haven't moved an inch and need a plan to achieve a #JustTransition. We must talk about *how* we provide support and that's how #FossilFuelTreaty can come into play via a full framework and set of tools

Join our 🇸🇪#Stockholm50 #PreSummit closing plenary:

@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.

@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.

🇩🇪 @lilifuhr
🇪🇨 Nemonte Nenquimo
🌏@EcosystemHealth
🇳🇦 @Imariashikongo
🇵🇪 Anoshka Violeta Irey Cameno

➡️#PreSummit #FossilFuelTreaty: fossilfueltreaty.org/livestream
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

☮️Join leading peace experts on the connection between #FossilFuels and wars:

🇪🇺@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 Archbishop Anders Wijryd digs into why many faith leaders are joining the call for #FossilFuelTreaty and putting their names on the interfaith letter: fossilfueltreaty.org/faith-letter
@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
