🔥🙈#COP27 barely started & recommendations are already adopted that would seriously undermine the integrity of the #ParisAgreement
Last night, the supervisory body on #carbonmarkets finalised recommendations regarding "removals"
3⃣ things to know about this outcome...
🧵[1/7]

2/7 decision adopted in middle of night makes clear that Supervisory Body is pressing forward opening the door for a wide range of “removals” incl. engineering of the oceans to “offset” emissions despite the existence of an international moratorium prohibiting this

3/7 Despite the multiple cases of #HumanRights violations resulting from previous market-based “offsetting” schemes–the Supervisory Body suggest that enforcement of environmental and social safeguards shld remain a prerogative of host country–thus making any safeguards toothless

4/7 To adopt the recommendation, the supervisory body cancelled any interaction with stakeholders as initially envisioned – another example of how observers are excluded from discussions for the sake of pushing forward dangerous outcomes

5/7 📢It is imperative that the #COP27 (CMA) puts a stop to this madness and sends the Supervisory Body back to its drawing board 🚫
🗣️Civil society, indigenous peoples & governments must speak up against the terrifying prospects that such decision would unleash
