This is huge. On the same day Canada announces a new tarsands pipeline and a roll back of climate policy UK announces no new oil and gas licences and a fossil fuel phase out plan. Congratulations and thank you to the UK for your leadership. And Canada?! PM Mark Carney, embarrassing. #cdnpoli
Huge news from the UK today: after UN climate talks in which there was a massive fight over language on fossil fuels, the UK government today announced that it will in fact be keeping many millions of barrels of oil & gas in the ground. Deeds rather than just words for a change! 🧵

Good news on the financing of fossil fuel front for a change. Thoughtful leadership from the UK government which has determined Mozambique LNG, led by Total Energies, is just too risky. [Murders and soldiers will do that to a project].

Time for the rest of the public and private banks to follow.

Young people have been driving institutions to divest from fossil fuels since the launch of the fossil fuel divestment movement.

Taking a look at the Divestment Database, educational institutions now make up 16% of divestment commitments. ✨

👀 If the NYC pension boards adopt the @nyccomptroller.bsky.social recommendations and move BlackRock's $42B mandate to other asset managers, it could be one of the most consequential climate-related actions ever taken by a pension fund in the US or anywhere in the world.
Today I’m recommending that NYC’s pension fund boards drop BlackRock and 2 other (out of 49) public markets asset managers due to inadequate decarbonization plans.

Climate risk is financial risk – we need asset managers who will invest responsibly.🧵

Since 2016, banks have directly financed over $15 billion to Amazon oil and gas industry, with just 10 banks accounting for almost 75% of the direct financing. Now Petrobras is moving to drill even further in the mouth of the Amazon River, enabled by big banks.

Super good column in Bloomberg on the various soft propaganda ways that Big Oil shapes the cultural narrative on fossil fuels into something both manly and deeply romantic in a working class hero way as opposed to, you know, the thing that kills 91,000 Americans a year from air pollution alone.

14% of Americans (46.6 million people) live within one mile of at least one piece of fossil fuel infrastructure across all stages of the supply chain.

This proximity is known to cause health harms.
