🔥 BIG NEWS from #NYClimateWeek! Yesterday, former UN Secretary-General @bankimooncentre urged global governments to negotiate a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty at the @GlblCtzn NOW summit. 🌍
🎉 Ban Ki-moon is the first former UN Secretary-General to support @fossiltreaty – a major step towards leaving the fossil fuel era behind and accelerating the shift to clean energy! #ClimateAction #FossilFreeFuture

So @EastSussexCC continues to be complicit in encouraging #ClimateBreakdown. Business as usual, I suppose.
Meanwhile, Europe & the UK continue to experience very damaging #flooding from extreme rainfall events over the last few weeks. Business as usual, indeed.

"We need to focus on supporting people and not polluting companies and fossil fuels."
@Tzeporah addresses the role of fossil fuel subsidies in maintaining fossil fuel economies.
Divest East Sussex retweeted
“Subsidizing, planting trees, carbon capture and storage while planting trees—it’s like drinking carrot juice in the morning and then smoking a pack a day, and saying they cancel each other out.”
Dangerous distractions are not real solutions for phasing out oil, gas and coal. We must #EndFossilFuels now.
Divest East Sussex retweeted
"67% of all new oil and gas licenses since 2020 have been in those five Global North countries."
This is the last gasp of the fossil fuel industry. And energy access through fossil fuels is not going to support justice or equity in the Global South. @Tzeporah
Divest East Sussex retweeted
"The fossil fuel industry has had decades to turn the lights on in Africa and they haven't."
While vulnerable countries bear the brunt of climate change impacts, benefits from fossil fuel production are reaped by major fossil fuel producing countries.
"This is a continuation of the colonial model," says @Tzeporah.
Divest East Sussex retweeted
"40% of shipping today globally is just to move fossil fuels around."
At the @ClimateGroup's flagship session on climate finance, @Tzeporah highlights the inefficiency of fossil fuels.
