Well that was a fascinating morning. President Lula has put the question of fossil fuel phase out front & center where it belongs. It might not be a formal negotiated outcome but high level political attention to fossil fuel phase out means we should expect a political outcome. #COP30

I’m so excited to be speaking at #TEDCountdownHouse during #COP30

My session highlights the experience of local activists halting
fossil fuel exploration in the Amazon, the impact on biodiversity, indigenous lands, and climate goals.

There has never been a more exciting, devastating and terrifying time to be working on climate and the energy transition. We can get super cynical about COPs and about our progress since Paris or we can dig in and try and build hope.

Let’s review where we are at, a thread 🧵

We breached the 1.5ºC global temperature for the first time in 2024, exceeding the threshold set in 2015 under the Paris Agreement.

Bank of America, Citi, JP Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs are four of the ten.
Just 10 banks are responsible for nearly 75% of the $15 billion in Amazon oil financing from the last decade.

We know who they are. We know what this will cost us. We can apply pressure to make them stop #KeepItInTheGround

We have long needed a way to pair private investment in solutions with government leadership on fossil phase out. Big announcement today, we’ve created it!

The new Journey Fund will invest in projects for countries participating in the Fossil Treaty Initiative. First $10M committed today!

The wealthiest and most powerful industry in history is not going down without a fight.

But that's why we need a clear plan that hits at the root of the climate crisis: endless expansion of fossil fuels
