At COP30 in Belém do Pará, more than 50,000 people made history with a clear, unified message:
“It is time to bury fossil fuels and build a clean, just future.”
Today, we symbolically laid fossil fuels to rest. ✊

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Vanguard, world’s #1 investor in fossil fuels, is about to have a shareholder meeting. It's an especially opaque company & this shareholder meeting is a rare occurrence – the last time Vanguard had one was in 2017. So, today, we showed up in prayerful action near Vanguard CEO Salim Ramji’s home.

Yes, I recommend @ayanaeliza.bsky.social's book to everyone!
Not a great head space the past few days given both the metaphorical and horrifyingly real fires of 2025 — but my Libby hold on “What If We Get It Right” just came in, and damn if the buoyant optimism of @ayanaeliza.bsky.social hasn’t recalibrated my hopometer. It’s a life raft for climate despair.

This was a cool development in Denmark in 2024.
Looking to 2025, as countries update their climate commitments (NDCs), they should include agriculture-specific GHG reduction targets and incorporate agricultural mitigation measures.
Which country will be next to make a splash on ag & climate?
