BREAKING
Governments at the @UN have just agreed on a Global Ocean Treaty! 🌍

This is a huge win - possibly the biggest conservation victory ever!

Here’s a short 🧵 on how we got here and what it means...
greenpeace.org/aotearoa/press…
🌊 It’s a victory for the oceans and it’s a victory for people power.

💪Over 5 million people have joined our movement to protect the oceans. The politicians couldn’t ignore our call!
The treaty enables governments to set up sanctuaries across the global oceans- making it possible to protect 30% of the oceans by 2030, the minimum scientists say is needed for oceans and marine life to recover 🐟

Protecting the oceans also helps guarantee the livelihoods and food security of the billions of people in coastal communities that depend on them.

🐋 Your support has helped us to sail to every ocean to document precious marine life and fragile ecosystems
and confront the industries that pose a risk to them like:

❗Industrial fishing
❗Oil drilling
❗Deep sea mining
None of this would have been possible without our movement, so take a moment to congratulate yourselves on this historic win! 🥳
There’s still more to do, and with you by our side we’ll keep working to make sure we #ProtectTheOceans for generations to come!

But for now, let’s celebrate! 🎉🎥

THREAD: Tomorrow's #RebuildingTogether Budget will be a defining moment for New Zealand, and for Jacinda Ardern's Govt because it will have impacts for generations to come.

We're looking for Govt to prioritise future-ready projects over 'shovel-ready' in the Covid recovery Budget. With unprecedented sums on the table, we have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get a jump on the other existential crises we face.
Jobs are a priority, but they need to be created in the right industries. We need more people working in growth areas like renewable energy, sustainable transport and #regenerativeagriculture, which have a clear future in a post-#Covid19 world.

@EugenieSage @mfe_news @jacindaardern @DavidParkerMP @jamespeshaw @NanaiaMahuta Thanks Eugenie – and acknowledge all the work you have done in Parliament! The problem with the MFE video though, is that... (thread)
@EugenieSage @mfe_news @jacindaardern @DavidParkerMP @jamespeshaw @NanaiaMahuta it trivialises the climate and ecological emergency we’re in by reinforcing the idea that people just need to make small tweaks to their daily lives and everything will be OK.
@EugenieSage @mfe_news @jacindaardern @DavidParkerMP @jamespeshaw @NanaiaMahuta It also places the responsibility for fixing ecological breakdown on regular people. Belief that these enormous, existential threats can be countered by us tweaking our consumptive habits is wrong and it’s dangerous.
