Countless of people are having to flee because of the climate crisis. The time to act is now. We need to get informed, speak up on climate justice and migrant justice, and support vital organizations like IOM. The Greta Thunberg Foundation supports their important work with people displaced by the climate crisis in Pakistan & Somalia.
IOM is helping people to find a way to stay, adapt and move when there is no other option. You can also support IOM here: https://t.co/dCeTmVQryX

Yesterday I was part of a group that peacefully protested the expansion of a coal mine in Germany. We were kettled by police and then detained but were let go later that evening.
Climate protection is not a crime.

This Saturday 14/1 I will join activists in Lützerath to defend the village and stop the coalmine. Join us at 12.00 to protect life, and put people over profit!
The science is clear, the most affected people are clear: no more fossil fuels!

Climate strike week 227. The climate crisis doesn’t go on holiday. #FridaysForFuture #ClimateStrike #PeopleNotProfit
Today on Black Friday is the perfect day to sue the state over its insufficient climate policies.
So that’s what we did.
See you in court!

We are 636 young people in @auroramalet who are suing the Swedish state for insufficient climate action.
”When the state carries out climate policy that threatens our human rights, it breaks the law.”

For the last 12 years the Jåhkågaska Sami community has been defending its grazing lands by resisting this iron-ore mine. By doing so they have been safeguarding what keeps us all safe: biodiverse forests, intact carbon stock, clean water and air.
Without any binding commitments to rapidly and immediately reduce greenhouse gases, the world stands no chance to deliver on the 1,5°C limit, and by doing so minimising risks of uprooting the life supporting systems we all depend on and endangering countless human lives.
#COP27
Sverige motsätter sig skapandet av en fond för klimatskadestånd och försvårar därmed förhandlingarna på #COP27 . Den här fonden skulle ge avgörande stöd för de mest drabbade – det är en fråga om liv och död för otaliga människor.

”Global Witness found more than 600 people at the talks in Egypt are linked to fossil fuels.
That's more than the combined delegations from the 10 most climate-impacted countries.”

A billionaire emits a million times more greenhouse gases than the average person, according to Oxfam.
We know which ones we need to hold accountable for the climate crisis.
During COP27, we urge the Egyptian authorities to immediately and unconditionally release all those held simply for peacefully exercising their human rights, implementing criteria set by local NGOs for these releases: fairness, transparency, inclusiveness and urgency. One of these prisoners is Alaa Abd El-Fattah, who is now on a water strike since the beginning of COP27. (thread)
