"Unless COP26’s failure is recognized as failure, there is no way to learn from it. Allowing global leaders to feel that what happened in Glasgow was acceptable — and spinning it as some sort of success — would be a disastrous mistake." #COP26

During COP27, we urge the Egyptian authorities to immediately and unconditionally release all those held simply for peacefully exercising their human rights, implementing criteria set by local NGOs for these releases: fairness, transparency, inclusiveness and urgency. 1/4

"The forest ecosystem has changed so dramatically that not even the reindeer that have learned to survive on these lands since the ice age can live in the landscape that this type of forestry creates".
A not-so flattering portrait of Sweden you seldom see.

I don’t get it. Why is it seen as a success that richer countries vaccinate 10s of millions healthy young people, if that leads to further delays of vaccinating risk groups and frontline workers in other parts of the world? Surely solidarity and common sense must come first? -> twitter.com/wellcometrust/…

There were more people in that meeting. Media needs to stop erasing the voices of activists, especially the most affected people from the most affected areas. twitter.com/Thelma_DWalker…

Our leaders say we need to stop deforestation, restore nature and plant trees to save the climate and biodiversity. Yet, basically everywhere they're doing the exact opposite. And - since the general level of awareness is almost nonexistent - they keep speeding up the process... twitter.com/dwallacewells/…

Since the Paris Agreement was signed 5 yrs ago, G20 states have subsidised fossil fuels by more than 3.3 trillion dollars.
Only *2%* of their financial support after the pandemic has gone to clean energy transitions.

That more people are diagnosed with autism etc isn’t because there is an “inflation” in diagnoses but since awareness is increasing and many highly sensitive people experience stress related problems in modern society which gives them reason to suspect they’re on the spectrum.3/7

"...his delegation wanted to go to Glasgow and convince the world that people were wrong about Brazil - it even said it would move forward its commitment to ending deforestation by 2028.
But with numbers like these, who can believe Jair Bolsonaro now?"

Almost everywhere there are very limited resources to give autistic people the necessary support. Without these adjustments autism can turn into a disability. But under the right circumstances it can truly be a gift and turn into something you - and society - can benefit from.4/7

School strike week 189. We recently received an irresistible offer from fossil fuel lobbyists, so we have now changed our narrative. It is snowing today in Stockholm, therefore climate change must be a hoax guys!

The world is still expanding fossil fuel infrastructure and pouring astronomical amounts of money into destruction. We are still speeding in the wrong direction. There is indeed a long way ahead of us - but we are still here and we are not planning on going anywhere. 3/4

"We’ve never faced a challenge such as the climate crisis before. So we don’t know what could happen if we took action – and that is also very hopeful.
If the media started treating the climate crisis like a crisis that could change everything overnight."
