🌍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.

#DontGasAfrica

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…
.@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.

❌#DontGasAfrica

dont-gas-africa.org/open-letter-eu…
⚠️Europe’s intensifying scramble for African #gas distracts from the necessity of financing access to clean & reliable electricity in the continent.

@EU_Commission @vonderleyen @OlafScholz @EmmanuelMacron @sanchezcastejon @GiorgiaMeloni: #DontGasAfrica!

dont-gas-africa.org/open-letter-eu…
Sign & share this letter to support our African partners by calling on European leaders to build a world free from #gas and support a #JustTransition in Africa and globally!

💪🏽🌍 dont-gas-africa.org/open-letter-eu…

A bloc of Pacific nation-states is calling for the negotiation of a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

They have called for support to manage a just transition to a "Fossil Fuel Free Pacific"

Instead, Australia just approved a new coal mine 😡 #auspol
Last year, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said “One of the ways that we increase our standing in the region, and in particular in the Pacific, is by taking climate change seriously."

Yet in the past 6 weeks, his government has approved 2 new coal mines.
Fossil fuels are the primary cause of the climate crisis, responsible for 86% of emissions in the past decade.

The International Energy Agency & the latest IPCC report have made it clear — to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, no new fossil fuel projects can be opened.

⚠️💀While the #Amazon urgently needs to be considered as a #FossilFuel Free Zone, the Peruvian government 🇵🇪 is giving #oil a new boost by promoting internationally a series of reserves that are home to 435 #indigenous communities.

ojo-publico.com/4416/nuevas-ar…
🛢️Without consulting local populations, @Perupetrosa promoted 31 areas with potential for hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation to international investors meeting in Texas.

perupetro.com.pe/wps/portal/cor…
👀An investigation from @Ojo_Publico reveals that of the 31 areas, 25 are located in the #Amazon and overlap with 435 indigenous communities in Loreto, Ucayali and Madre de Dios, and two reserves for indigenous peoples in voluntary isolation #PIACI

@susanamuhamad said that "to reduce emissions on the scale we need and to have a just energy transition, it is necessary to stop the proliferation of fossil fuels, especially oil and gas exploration in climate pillars such as the Arctic and the Amazon." Image

We're excited to share that the @SierraClub has formally called for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Join them 👉 fossilfueltreaty.org

🧵 for info... including how this could impact a #FossilFuelTreaty resolution being considered by the State of California this week. Image
@SierraClub is the latest to endorse the proposal, joining:

🇻🇺 Vanuatu
🇹🇻 Tuvalu
🇪🇺 European Parliament
🌉 80 cities & subnational governments
🏥 @WHO & hundreds of health institutions
🌍 2,100+ civil society orgs
🪧 Thousands of youth activists
🕊️ 101 Nobel Laureates
Sierra Club’s endorsement of the #FossilFuelTreaty comes just 48 hours ahead of a Senate Hearing in the State of California on a resolution that would see the world's largest subnational government also formally endorse the proposal. Image

In the past 24hrs there's been excitement about #G7 headlines like this

But we need to talk about it 🧵

Past the headline the communiqué is rife with greenwash & inaction

🤔 These countries are still EXPANDING fossil fuels
⏰ No phaseout dates
🤯 There's a huge loophole
& more Image
🤔 These countries are still approving NEW fossil fuels

You're not phasing something out if you're still expanding it...

Despite the spin, G7 members continue to approve, subsidize & finance new fossil fuel projects.

We need a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.
⏰ No phaseout dates

It's not a plan without a timeline.

We need nations that are
a) historically responsible for emissions &
b) in the best position to fund a transition

to not only end proliferation of fossil fuels, but transition away from coal, oil & gas first & fastest.
