It’s no coincidence that despite only making up 20% of Earth’s land, Indigenous territory contains 80% of global biodiversity! That's why landback is a climate justice solution. Here's how Indigenous communities of Costa Rica are rematriating the land 💚 www.theverge.com/2024/4/22/24...

New #COP29 finance text is ugly. All the bad stuff is in, all the good stuff out.

❌ Number too low to be worth mentioning
❌ Total evasion of responsibilities of wealthy countries
❌ No #LossAndDamage
❌ No #HumanRights
❌ No guaranteed provision, no grants

WTF - for real.

The new draft text of the #COP29 climate finance goal is glaringly incomplete without a concrete number.

"The lack of clarity on whether this goal will also address #LossAndDamage is symptomatic of the decades of denial of major polluters to remedy climate harm," @lienvandamme.bsky.social 👇

#COP29 is expected to reach an agreement on carbon offsets: a dangerous distraction allowing countries to trade emissions “credits” rather than much-needed emissions cut.
Carbon markets lead to human rights violations & environmental harm.
