Today hundreds of thousands all over the world marched for the climate, sending a clear signal to people in power at #COP26 to protect people and planet. Our so-called “leaders” aren’t leading - THIS is what leadership looks like! #UprootTheSystem

Unless we achieve immediate, drastic, unprecedented, annual emission cuts at the source then that means we’re failing when it comes to this climate crisis.
“Small steps in the right direction”, “making some progress” or “winning slowly” equals loosing.

"There are more delegates at COP26 associated with the fossil fuel industry than from any single country"
I don't know about you, but I sure am not comfortable with having some of the world's biggest villains influencing & dictating the fate of the world.

“Civil society voices are critical to the outcome of Cop, but we’ve not been able to do our jobs. If participation and inclusion are the measure of legitimacy, then we’re on very shaky grounds”
#COP26 legitimacy is questioned as civil society is excluded.

”It’s shameful they’re getting away with it.”
Groundbreaking journalism which shows that unless things fundamentally change, the COPs are bound to fail since the targets and statistics are so incomplete - and since honesty and transparency is missing.

Fighting for climate justice is also fighting for democracy. Our civilization will be increasingly threatened as the planet destabilises, putting everything at risk, including democracy.
This is a major threat. Democracy is everything. We can't save the living planet without it.

”Cop26 sets course for disastrous heating of more than 2.4C”
And that’s based on numbers that are “underreported” and “flawed” according to Washington Post’s investigation. And also IF leaders stick to their words. Their track record suggests otherwise…

"The total emissions of the richest 10 percent alone are set to exceed the 1.5°C-aligned level in 2030, regardless of what the other 90 percent do" - study from @SEIresearch and @IEEP_eu
This is one of the many reasons why we need climate justice. #COP26

We are filing a legal petition to the UN secretary-general urging him to declare the climate crisis a global level 3 emergency – the UN’s highest category.

The fact that the aspect of equity is considered "subjective" at this level tells you a lot about current climate policies... But that's not all. Read this important thread. #COP26 twitter.com/KanitkarT/stat…

What a surprise... As it is now the people in power can get away with almost anything. All they have to do is to say some nice words and say they will "form alliances and work together to combat climate change". #COP26 twitter.com/RobbBla/status…

Now as #COP26 is coming to an end, beware of a tsunami of greenwashing and media spin to somehow frame the outcome as “good”, “progress”, “hopeful” or “a step in the right direction”.

The #COP26 is over. Here’s a brief summary: Blah, blah, blah.
But the real work continues outside these halls. And we will never give up, ever. twitter.com/GretaThunberg/…

2,4°C if all govts met the 2030 targets, 2,7°C with current policies.
These NDCs are based on flawed and underreported numbers. And this is IF leaders meet their promises, which judging by their track record is not very likely...
This is what some seem to celebrate today. #COP26 twitter.com/climateactiont…

"...the [US] administration prepares to hold the largest offshore oil and gas lease sale in U.S. history on Nov. 17."
The USA continues to "lead on climate"...

A reminder: the people in power don’t need conferences, treaties or agreements to start taking real climate action. They can start today.
When enough people come together then change will come and we can achieve almost anything. So instead of looking for hope - start creating it.

"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

"Genom påverkansarbete som börjar redan i grundskolan och via reklamkampanjer, framförs myten om att dagens skogsprodukter kommer rädda oss undan klimatkrisen, och att tillståndet för den biologiska mångfalden är god i Sveriges skogar"
Oerhört viktig text.

The EU said at COP26 they want to "lead global change to protect our planet".
We assume this means the European Parliament will #VoteThisCAPDown next week, as the proposed CAP would be disastrous to the climate and environment and is not nearly in line with the Paris Agreement. twitter.com/WithdrawThisCA…
