⚠️💀While the #Amazon urgently needs to be considered as a #FossilFuel Free Zone, the Peruvian government 🇵🇪 is giving #oil a new boost by promoting internationally a series of reserves that are home to 435 #indigenous communities.

ojo-publico.com/4416/nuevas-ar…
🛢️Without consulting local populations, @Perupetrosa promoted 31 areas with potential for hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation to international investors meeting in Texas.

👀An investigation from @Ojo_Publico reveals that of the 31 areas, 25 are located in the #Amazon and overlap with 435 indigenous communities in Loreto, Ucayali and Madre de Dios, and two reserves for indigenous peoples in voluntary isolation #PIACI
ojo-publico.com/4416/nuevas-ar…
A worrying decision about the future of the #Amazon & sadly, not surprising. Our allies from @mociccperu had alerted us:

"The political crisis in #Peru is the continuity of the struggle against an extractivist model that has only increased inequalities"
fossilfueltreaty.org/blog/peru
🇪🇨The decision could also be linked to the energy debate in neighboring #Ecuador where the Constitutional Court issued a favorable opinion on the popular consultation to keep permanently in the ground the #oil located under the #Yasuní National Park.

elcomercio.com/actualidad/pol…
👏🏽✊🏽This great news is the result of the hard work of @Yasunidos that has been mobilised for the past 10 years in the face of successive governments that have made #oil one of #Ecuador's main economic resources, but which in reality only feed its debt.

nytimes.com/2023/01/14/cli…
🌎An example of resistance to be followed but also to be complemented by the creation of a #FossilFuels Non-Proliferation Zone in the whole #Amazon territory in order to avoid that extractive areas only move from one region to another🤝🏽

🇨🇴 Colombia's leadership for a world free of fossil fuels and for a just energy transition is important at the national, regional and global levels. The recent commitment of the Ministry of the Environment is an important signal for the region and the world.
Follow the thread 🧵: Image
At the Forum of Ministers of the Environment of Latin America and the Caribbean, the Minister of Environment and Sustainable Development of Colombia, @susanamuhamad, defended that there should be limits to the exploitation of #oil and #gas 👇
@susanamuhamad said that "to reduce emissions on the scale we need and to have a just energy transition, it is necessary to stop the proliferation of fossil fuels, especially oil and gas exploration in climate pillars such as the Arctic and the Amazon." Image

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.

.@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.

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
