A 🧵on a new tool we are launching today with @SussexUni that is mapping & tracking forward looking supply-side policies worldwide. So far it has:

❌ 180 moratoria, bans & limits
⬇️ 32 subsidy reduction policies
💰 1,539 divestment pledges
🙋‍♀️ 71 #FossilFuelTreaty endorsements Image
@SussexUni For decades, we have been encouraging governments to address fossil fuels directly, knowing that they are the biggest driver of climate change. But what is actually happening in the world and who is in the lead? This new Fossil Fuel Tracker helps answer that.
@SussexUni All major scientific reports show new fossil fuel projects are incompatible with a livable planet yet self-proclaimed climate leaders keep approving new poisonous projects to the detriment of public health, biodiversity & security. Image

Today we see faith institutions representing 1.5B+ persons call for a #FossilFuelTreaty in response to govt action being "painstakingly slow & catered too much to the reckless & deceptive fossil fuel corporations"🧵

Read their letter: fossilfueltreaty.org/faith-letter
#NoFaithInFossils Image
Religious institutions have led the way on divesting from fossil fuels, playing a vital role in major climate mobilization. They now join this #FossilFuelTreaty call "to remedy the decades of negligence" & "heal the planet & people alike" as stated in their letter.
Faith leaders are part of a growing movement that recognizes fossil fuels are the greatest contributor to climate change. That list includes the likes of @WHO, European Parliament, Vanuatu, 101 Nobel Laureates and leading academics. See the full list: fossilfueltreaty.org

🌍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

dont-gas-africa.org/open-letter-eu… Image
.@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.

🚨 Breaking 🚨 The European Parliament just called for nation-states to “work on developing a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty” in its formal #COP27 resolution.

This is a major development in the global push for a #FossilFuelTreaty.

🌎🔥 Our house is on fire. 🔥🌍

For youth around the world, there is no time for business…or, in this case, education as usual.

@endfossil is occupying schools everywhere to demand a just transition away from coal, oil, and gas. Image
👉🏽 The #FossilFuelTreaty embraces the integral role of youth grassroots action in shaping the global narrative for #ClimateJustice.

🚧🚫 The road to systemic change is paved by activists and trailblazers who have disrupted the status quo by saying, "enough is enough." Image
We must do everything we can to ensure this generation does not suffer from the faults of those before them.
