September 2025 was the third hottest on record on land and at sea.

Big polluters spent decades and billions lying to protect profits while communities burned and drowned.

We will not forget. Time to #MakePollutersPay.

Once more we say: World leaders must meet their obligation to defend the right of their citizens to safe passage at sea. They must act to ensure the right to break Israel’s illegal siege to support the delivery of lifesaving medical and humanitarian aid to #Gaza.

This law, also known as “super permit” law:

⚠️ Hands over lands, water, and natural resources to corporate exploitation.

⚠️ Weakens environmental impact assessments and fast-tracks destructive mining and energy projects.
