🚨BIG NEWS! Colombia will host the 1st Int'l Conference on the Phase-Out of Fossil Fuels in April 2026!

🌐Building on the success of previous diplomatic summits, it aims to facilitate a planned, just, and sustainable phase-out of #fossilfuels.

More to come at #COP30!

@fossilfueltreaty.bsky.social
What leaders do between now and 2030 will shape our collective future. The Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative offers a clear, coordinated plan to transition away from fossil fuels, addressing the world’s dangerous dependence on them while ensuring a just phaseout. Photo shows UN HQ.

🚴This weekend we rise for a global #JustTransition and we #DrawTheLine against fascism, racism, genocide and inequalities across the globe ✊

May #COP30 be the summit where justice and equity are the headline, not the footnote

📬 Responding to the latest #COP30 Presidency letters, @rebeccathissen.bsky.social (CAN International) ‬is clear:

A true “Implementation COP” & “People’s COP” needs adequate public finance - not just private promises.

Without it, there’s no #JustTransition. ✊

Financing is a key issue in the lead-up to #COP30, with many Global North Cs seeking to abandon their historical responsibility to provide finance, says @rebeccathissen.bsky.social

‘If we are relying on private finance, we won’t meet any of the goals of the Paris Agreement’

“One thing is clear: ignoring the urgent need for high-quality, grant-based public finance is naive at best — willfully blind at worst. With #COP30 ahead, developed countries must bring concrete plans to scale up climate finance.” @rebeccathissen.bsky.social

🔄The debt crisis is sabotaging climate action.

Global South countries spend 5x more on debt than on climate solutions.

📢 FfD4 must back a UN Sovereign Debt Convention now.
