SÃO PAULO — @governor.ca.gov is being bombarded w/ requests to meet.

”Newsom kicked off his trip to Brazil 1,800 miles south of the Amazonian city of Belém that’s hosting this year’s international gathering, talking to Brazilian and American financiers at an investors’ summit in São Paulo.”

Amazonian countries should learn from COP30 host Brazil's example—by refusing to sign investment treaties w/ ISDS + withdrawing from existing ones w/ ISDS.

It could save them billions + untie their hands to protect the Amazon.

We found that there are 218 oil and gas projects in Amazonian countries covered by ISDS provisions. Colombia has the largest number of ISDS-covered projects by far.

These projects contain at least 26.5 barrels of oil equivalent
November 11, 2025 at 8:49 PM
This could cost them billions of dollars—on multiple occasions Amazonian countries have had to pay ISDS awards worth billions to oil + gas companies.

ISDS costs could cancel out funding to promote Amazon conservation through mechanisms like the Tropical Forests Forever Facility

Written into international investment treaties, ISDS gives foreign investors a special right to sue governments in arbitral tribunals for damages to the value of their investments.

This poses a problem for Amazonian countries trying to protect the Amazon
November 11, 2025 at 8:49 PM
Amazon protection is a central theme of #COP30. But efforts to ensure it is defended risk instead being defunded—by ISDS.

NEW research from me + colleagues finds ISDS provisions cover 218 oil/gas projects in Amazonian countries, containing over 26.5 billion barrels of oil

After the sound of a traditional Amazonian prayer echoed through plenary, @lulaoficialbluesky.bsky.social kicked things off by declaring this the ‘COP of Truth’ — a stand against fake news, climate denial & the growing rejection of science.
But is it really? READ: climatenetwork.org/wp-content/u...

But I am still not convinced that the new amazonian Bond will work. Maybe I will just see it as a finished series that ended 2021. What comes after I might consider as homages. That would probably make it easier for me to enjoy them.

Brasiliassa liittovaltion poliisi tutki, että 40% maailman kokaiinista kulkee Brasilian puoleisen Amazonian sademetsän läpi. Tämän vuoksi alueen muu rikollinen toiminta on lisääntynyt: laittomat metsähakkuut ja laiton kaivostoiminta.
