Dit is echt on-ge-loof-lijk. Twee dagen nadat alle politici stonden te springen om hun eigen 'ambitie' in de verf zetten na een krachtig signaal van de burger. Only in Belgium. We zijn er nog niet. #ClaimTheClimate via @demorgen

NEW @LossandDamage briefing on the cost of inaction: 🏭 Historic polluters systemically delay #LossAndDamage action, dramatically harming #HumanRights . 💰 Money is available. Extreme profits of #FossilFuel sector alone could easily cover costs. Read:

Tomorrow, the @UN_HRC will reaffirm the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll . One country might oppose: @USAmbHRC . This is an absolute betrayal to frontline communities & environmental justice worldwide. We call on the US to refrain from undermining this critical #HumanRight .

De diepzee of het klimaat? Een valse keuze. Greenpeace voert actie tegen diepzeemijnbouw, ook WWF & onze partners zijn bezorgd. Wat zich afspeelt in de Stille Oceaan staat symbool voor een groter vraagstuk: hoe gaan we met grondstoffen om? Vandaag in DS 👇🏾

Vanuatu just became the first State to call for a #FossilFuelTreaty .🔥 As 30 years of @UNFCCC negotiations have failed to address the root cause of the climate crisis - fossil fuels - and #LossAndDamage is harming human rights across the 🌍, this treaty has become inevitable. 👇

BREAKING! Na al die jaren is België eindelijk veroordeeld voor slecht klimaatbeleid in de @Klimaatzaak . De rechter erkent het gebrek aan toegepaste zorgplicht en de schendingen van mensenrechten die daaruit voortvloeien. #begov #vlareg #walgov & #brugov moeten aan de slag!

WE DID IT! We hebben gelijk gekregen! Vandaag heeft de rechtbank van eerste aanleg van Brussel de Belgische overheden collectief veroordeeld voor hun nalatige klimaatbeleid. De rechters oordelen dat het Belgische klimaatbeleid de wettelijke zorgplicht en de mensenrechten schendt.

#COP26 failed. It failed to recognize the urgency. It failed to deliver critically needed #LossAndDamage finance. It failed to close massive loopholes. And it failed to confront the #FossilFuel industry. COP26 failed the people. @ciel_tweets statement ⬇️

COP26 was the most exclusive COP in decades and its outcomes reflected a complete lack of urgency in addressing the climate crisis.

In draft van nieuw @IPCC_CH -rapport waarschuwen wetenschappers voor de onomkeerbare gevolgen van de klimaatcrisis voor de mensheid en wijzen ze op de nood aan systeemverandering: ‘We moeten de manier waarop we leven en consumeren volledig herdefiniëren.’

VN-klimaatdeskundigen: ‘Mensheid bedreigd door onomkeerbare gevolgen klimaatverandering’

Een permanente opwarming van de aarde boven de drempel van +1,5 graden zou ‘onomkeerbare gevolgen hebben voor menselijke en ecologische systemen’. Dat waar...
