🚨 Stop secret corporate courts 🚨 The fossil fuel industry should never be able to stand in the way of a cleaner future. As long as ISDS courts exist, companies can threaten climate action everywhere. 🧵👇 #climateaction #climatecrisis #coalmine #secretcorporatecourts #whitehaven

Tony Blair has called for the UK to row back on the green transition, in a week where we've seen the hottest May day on record and heard energy bills are set to shoot up again. But with his organisation's links to petrostates and tech-billionaires, are we really surprised? 🫠 #climatecrisis #netzero

This year’s UN climate talks ended on Saturday and for once we can say we have taken a small step forward towards climate justice. ✊ However, the scale of the crisis we face requires giant leaps forward to cut emissions and protect people and planet. We need concrete plans, not just strong words.

Is the government's new climate plan fit for purpose? We’ve pored over all 238 pages and compiled our expert analysis. What we know for sure is that we need the government to go further and move faster. They can do so by making fossil fuel companies and the super-rich pay more for climate action.✊

Indigenous communities and local people around the world are having their land stolen, their homes and livelihoods destroyed, and their rights violated – all to serve shady UK companies that drive deforestation for profit. Demand action via the Linktree in our bio. ✊

🚨 The clock is ticking... It’s 100 days before the UK government must deliver a new climate plan. With the Met Office saying that extreme weather is now the UK’s new normal, we can’t afford any more weak promises from those in power. And we’re not the only ones who agree...
