.@TIME has just named @petrogustavo one of 100 Most Influential People of 2023🇨🇴👏🏽

One of the reasons: the Colombian President's forward-thinking climate policy, which paves the way for building fossil fuel free future 🧵⬇️

time.com/collection/100…
@GabrielBoric 🇨🇱says of his Colombian counterpart:

“Gustavo dares to speak about complex issues [....] and the imperative to care for the environment in the context of a global climate crisis. He’s a leader who makes difficult decisions and learns fast.”

time.com/6189763/colomb…
In Latin American, where the extractivist economy is the rule, @petrogustavo’s proposal to phase-out #FossilFuels is indeed against the tide.
Nevertheless, according to economic experts like @CampanaleMark:

"Colombia's decision is strategic to maintain the hope of avoiding climate chaos. Moreover, it is also a viable and rational decision from an economic point of view."

elespectador.com/ambiente/el-di…
📗A new report by @cepal_onu, @OECD and the #EuropeanUnion supports the Colombian strategy, stating that the #EnergyTransition is an opportunity that will bring income and employment, while avoiding climate chaos.

cepal.org/es/publicacion…
For #Colombia & other Global South countries to move away from #FossilFuel dependency in the most EQUITABLE way, Global North countries -main contributors to the #ClimateCrisis- have a responsibility to support their efforts instead of undermining them:

fossilfueltreaty.org/fossil-fuel-5
A few weeks ago, 6 #Pacific countries - a region at the forefront of climate impacts while one of the least responsible - have again demonstrated their climate leadership by committing to create a "Fossil Fuel Free Pacific".

fossilfueltreaty.org/fossil-free-pa…
It's time for Global North countries to join them and #ListenToTheScience too.

The recent #IPCC Summary for Policy Makers Report makes it clear again: containing worst-case climate change scenarios = constraining fossil fuel production

fossilfueltreaty.org/ipcc-ar6
The #G7 will take place next month & the most advanced economies will have a choice:

💀continue to worsen the climate crisis
OR
🌎show the same political will as the #Pacific countries and #Colombia.

Youth is already calling for it:

#FossilFuelTreaty

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.

Exactly. So why are false solutions such a big problem? And why don't we need them?

A thread in the context of today's newly published #IPCC report 🧵
In the face of an undeniably changing climate, the fossil fuel industry and other high-emissions industries, as well as the banks, financiers and other actors who prop them up, have had to invent new tactics. For decades, the tactic was simple: lie
The lies run deep + long. New research this year showed that #ExxonKnew. Their scientists predicted global warming with shocking accuracy yet repeatedly exaggerated climate science uncertainties. Read an important thread from report author @GeoffreySupran

.@antonioguterres at #IPCC #ClimateReport press conference sends another clear message :

"The climate time-bomb is ticking.

But today’s IPCC report is a how-to guide to defuse the climate time-bomb."

Here is how 👇🏼
@antonioguterres
@antonioguterres "1.5oC is achievable. But it takes real climate action on all fronts -- everything, everywhere, all at once.

Humanity should come first and every country and every sector must be part of the solution."

A block of 6 Pacific countries just agreed to spearhead a global fossil fuel phase-out effort including:

⚖️ creating an alliance of countries to negotiate a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty

🛢️ joining @beyondoilgas

🌏 a just transition to a "Fossil Fuel Free Pacific"

A 🧵
The “Port Vila Call for a Just Transition to a Fossil Fuel Free Pacific” is the official outcome document from a three-day high-level meeting of Ministers and officials from across the Pacific.

You can read the full outcome here via @CANPacificIs pican.org/fossil-free-pa…
The powerful outcome text was written by Ministers and officials from a block of six Pacific countries –

🇻🇺 Vanuatu
🇹🇻 Tuvalu
🇹🇴 Tonga
🇫🇯 Fiji
🇳🇺 Niue
🇸🇧 the Solomon Islands

All month, the island nation of Vanuatu has been in a state of emergency as it rebuilds following a brutal 48-hours of two cyclones and an earthquake.

How this is devastating reminder that fossil-fueled climate impacts are here and now... A thread 🧵
bbc.com/news/world-asi…
Cyclones are among the most destructive extreme weather events &, on a warming planet, they're predicted to be more intense & costly due to

📈more storm surges
📈faster wind speeds
📈more rainfall
📈more flooding

A great fact sheet from @climatecouncil climatecouncil.org.au/resources/fact…
The loss and damage from climate change — whether it's these cyclones, flooding that engulfed parts of India and Bangladesh in May, or heat waves that gripped much of the United States and Europe last year - will only escalate with every fraction of warming.
