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.
3/ @alexraf: we have seen across the world states organize themselves around the extraction #fossilfuels. But extraction has not led to greater dignity or prosperity. Extraction has led to dispossession, centralisation of power and control and corruption of political systems
4/ @alexraf: However, we have also seen that there is much hope in frontline resistance and resilience.
5/ Yesterday, @UNEP released its Recommendations from Informal Working Groups. Although it is not yet clear what format the #Stockholm50 Chair’s summary will take and how similar it will be, the references to #fossilfuels are stronger than we’ve seen in previous iterations.
6/ They identify:
1. the threat of fossil fuels
2. the need to phase out equitably
3. the need for a #JustTransition to support fossil fuel dependent developing countries
4. that the @UN should support this through multilateral processes #FossilFuelTreaty
7/ The challenge now is to ensure that these clear references to the need to end the fossil fuel remain in the final text of #Stockholm50 conference 💪🏽
8/ @MaryMoeonoKolio: Tired as we may be, we do not have the luxury of fatigue, we have flown 36+ hours to be here with you on this side of the world, so want to say that the work we have to do in the coming days, is crucial for our communities.
9/ @MaryMoeonoKolio: today on the 1 of June is the 60th anniversary of Samoa’s independence. 60 years ago my island home defeated an empire and gave its freedom. We in the Pacific have been fighting for freedom for a long time - except now we can’t fight this alone!
10/ The #FossilFuelTreaty must be the way forward & complement the #ParisAgreement by cutting off supply and accelerating a #JustTransition
11/ The same systems that got us here - capitalism, and colonialism, will not get us out of this crisis. We are not driven out of fear but moved by love.

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 @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.

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 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
