BREAKING: World leaders are on the brink of failing our oceans. Talks at the UN look set to end in deadlock because of greed.

Govts are fighting over hypothetical future profits they could make from the ocean over protecting it.

Here's a thread to explain why 🧵
#IGC5 Greenpeace USA activists pr...
Countries like USA, Canada and EU are being greedy.

They’re prioritising hypothetical future profits from Marine Genetics Resources over protecting the oceans. This is undermining all the progress made on the Treaty text on Marine Protected Areas

#IGC5 #ProtectTheOceans Frontline speakers from lef...
The EU's High Ambition Coalition is failing to deliver on their commitments to protect the oceans and finalise a Treaty at this round of talks - now how will they get it done this year?

@VSinkevicius where have you been the last 2 weeks?!

"Climate justice should not be a privilege. It's a fundamental human right." - Sylvia Wu, legal coordinator at Greenpeace Taiwan [1/11] Chinese girl with medium-length hair smiling
“My name is Sylvia Wu. As a legal professional, I aspire to use my legal knowledge to bring about positive changes.

In February of 2021, we filed the first climate litigation in Taiwan, Greenpeace East Asia and others v. Ministry of Economic Affairs. [2/11]
I worked closely with the individual plaintiffs, local NGOs, and our project team to urge the government to be more ambitious in climate change law amendments and to challenge the rigid judicial system. [3/11]

🚨In the midst of wars and global crises, European governments are driving us deeper into fossil fuel addiction by cutting fuel taxes to lower prices at the petrol pump.

A thread ⤵️🧵

What curbing fuel prices and general VAT reductions on petrol/diesel really mean:

🚨Deeper fossil fuel dependency
🌎A devastating impact on the climate
⚠️Social inequalities increasing
💶Favouring wealthier households

So what should governments do?

📝Social & climate support payments for low-income households
🚨Introduce measures to reduce oil consumption
💶Tax companies profiting from rising oil prices
🌎Invest revenue from taxes to boost rail & public transport

#SuezCanal: a 'mega ship' (longer than the Eiffel Tower) is blocking a major trade route after being blown off course by a gust of wind.

Every day it blocks around 50 cargo ships.

It has also affected oil prices.

A thread ⤵️

It points to the absurdities of our current trade system.

We are sending these monster ships, filled with either too much or nothing at all, around the world.

#SuezCanal (2/7)
If you think about environmental costs and how much we consume it's clear we need to be trading on a more local scale.
