BREAKING: More than 100 activists from 17 countries are taking action to #BanPrivateJets at #EBACE2023, the biggest business aviation sales event in Europe and exposing the super rich’s pollution 👇🧵✈️
What exactly is the #EBACE2023? It’s Europe’s largest annual gathering of business aviation industry stakeholders such as private jets
✈️sellers
✈️buyers
✈️producers
And it’s hosted by the European and American private jet industry
Private jet users are fuelling climate breakdown! These jets are currently not regulated in Europe and are largely excluded from key EU legislation that is supposed to tackle greenhouse gas emissions. This is unacceptable! #BanPrivateJets
Daisy, a 32 year old climate activist from the UK is on the ground taking action because she is worried about the future of the planet and her loved ones if we keep tolerating the super-rich people’s private jet lifestyle.

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 🐟
Today is #WorldFisheriesDay! A day to highlight and share our gratitude with all the incredible sustainable fisheries and small-scale fishers around the world, working and living in reciprocity with our oceans, lakes, and rivers. Today we celebrate you all! (1/4)
The health of our planet’s oceans is essential to the balance that sustains all life on Earth. A widespread adoption of sustainable practices can have far reaching benefits for people and the planet (2/4)
Those who are able can begin choosing this future now by choosing to eat less and source locally produced, sustainable seafood wherever possible. (3/4)
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
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?!
