1/5 Soon the world's leading climate scientists will deliver their verdict on the state of climate emergency and ways of dealing with it!

The full story of the @IPCC_CH #AR6 Climate Report will be brought together.

Here’s what we learned from the recent IPCC reports so far👇 Image
2/5 WG1 report said climatic changes are:
- widespread & rapid
- intensifying
- unprecedented
- some already set in motion irreversible

But 1.5°C:
- is still within reach
- would substantially prevent further harm
- requires urgent action, net zero CO2

act.gp/3IM86aY
3/5 WG2 report said:

- Risks are appearing faster & getting worse sooner
- We are not prepared
- More warming = more problems
- From incremental to transformational adaptation
- Equity!
- Restore & protect nature for it to protect us
- Critical decade

act.gp/3SRkc7a
4/5 Our take on the WG3:
-We have the solutions for 1.5°C!
-More with less
-Move that money
-Fix those targets
-Rights and needs, nobody's greed
-Game-changers are here, if we give them a real chance and EXIT FOSSILS NOW!

act.gp/3L9cyDg
5/5 The @IPCC_CH will release their report on Monday 20 March.

If you're media, remember to register at the IPCC system by 14 March! 👉bit.ly/MASYRreg

1/8 📢🚨: Governments @UN have just agreed on a Global Ocean Treaty! 🌍

🎉 This is huge - it’s the biggest conservation victory ever! 🎉

Here’s a 🧵 on how we got here and what it means:
2/8 🌊 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!
3/8 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 🐟

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 ⤵️🧵

#StopFuellingWar
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
