✅A fast + fair fossil fuel phase-out
✅Commitments on climate finance from rich, planet-wrecking Global North countries
✅Recognition that climate justice can’t be separated from racial, economic, and gender justice or resistance to militarism

11/ We need a just transition driven by governments & frontline communities, not corporations.
➡️This is the moment.
➡️Plan the phaseout.
➡️Pay your fair share.
➡️Deliver justice.

Or fuel the fire while the planet burns.

#COP30

10/ 🌐 Rich countries are dodging their legal responsibilities under Article 9.1. They’re pushing private finance while cutting aid and boosting military spending. The money exists. They’re just choosing not to deliver. #COP30

9/ Despite the COP28 pledge, fossil fuel production is still rising, driven by the US, Canada, Australia, and Norway. Since Paris:
⬆️ +40% in oil & gas from these 4
⬇️ -2% elsewhere

8/ 📢 New op-ed from the Asian People’s Movement on Debt and Development's Lidy Nacpil & @esbast.bsky.social: At #COP30, public finance is the key to a fair fossil fuel phaseout. No more excuses. Rich countries must pay their fair share.

7/ A growing coalition is demanding clarity on phasing out fossil fuels and a just transition mechanism. But rich countries are still blocking progress. We need results here in Belém.
✅Just transition
✅Public finance
✅Adaptation
✅Fossil fuel phase-out

6/ 🎥 Watch: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres
lays it out clearly at #COP30:
✅ End fossil fuel favoritism
✅ Fight disinformation
✅ Fund the transition
✅ Deliver justice for workers & communities

5/ Colombia announced 20+ signed onto Belém Declaration on the Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels & First International Conference happening in April
@fossiltreaty.bsky.social fossilfueltreaty.org/first-intern...

4/ 📢 30+ governments rejected last night’s weak draft: dw.com/en/divisive-... 🇨🇴

3/ And yet, momentum is building:
🌍 80+ countries have called for a roadmap to phase out fossil fuels. bit.ly/3LLrhqG

2/ This weak text fails on all counts:
❌ No fossil fuel phase-out
❌ No real finance from rich countries
❌ No justice for impacted communities
We need a full package: public finance, just transition, adaptation, and fossil fuel phase-out. #COP30

Bank Climate Advocates and 20+ civil society organizations have formally urged IFC, IBRD, ADB and their member states to align with their legal obligations by:

🚫 Stopping financing of fossil fuels
🔍 Strengthening climate due diligence
📈 Prioritizing renewable solutions tailored to development needs

Why this matters:

⚡ MDBs are still spending public $ on fossil fuels, blocking progress on a just transition
⬇️ MDB decisions will influence whether the world stays below 1.5°C
🧑‍⚖️ Recent ICJ Climate Advisory Opinion raises the legal stakes even higher

Bank Climate Advocates and 20+ civil society orgs have formally urged IFC, IBRD, ADB and their member states to align with their legal obligations by:

🚫 Stopping financing of fossil fuels
🔍 Strengthening climate due diligence
📈 Prioritizing renewable solutions tailored to devt needs

🎯Groundbreaking independent opinion commissioned by Bank Climate Advocate is the first to directly outline the legal duties of MDBs and their member states under international law — including customary obligations and those under Paris Agreement, human rights treaties, and even the Law of the Sea.

There's enough money to pay for a just transition, but the courage to take it back from the culprits causing the crisis is missing.

Rich govts can unlock public climate finance by:

⛽️Ending fossil fuels handouts
💸Making polluters pay
✅Implementing fair taxes
⚖️Cancelling Global South debt

🎙️Listen to OCI's @bronwentucker.bsky.social speak:

"The money is there, it's just in the wrong hands. Governments say we have to hope the private sector invests. Not only is this unfair, it does not work. Private finance cannot fund public goods."

What African communities need is grant-based finance and support to scale renewables, not more fossil fuels. COP30 is the moment to choose clean energy for Africa & phase out fossil fuels. #COP30 #ClimateFinance 💸

Fossil fuels have harmed communities across Nigeria, Uganda, Angola, South Africa; fueling conflict, pollution, and displacement. 🏭 Africa does not need more harm. The continent has enough renewable energy to meet its needs. #JustTransition 🌞
