Bravo to everyone who led with passion and inspiration to make this adoption happen! Why is having an Advisory Opinion on climate change from the International Court of Justice such a big deal? A thread 🧵 #ICJAO4Climate

BREAKING: In a huge blow to the rule of law, the US Supreme Court today let stand Chevron's prosecution and 3-year detention of me after helping Indigenous peoples win the historic Amazon pollution case. Gorsuch dissented: "Our Constitution does not tolerate what happened here."

Great article on the eve of the UN vote for an advisory opinion on climate change. 100+ countries have backed Vanuatu's plan to enlist the UN's top court in tackling climate change. If the resolution is adopted, this is the beginnings of a HUGE legal precedent for climate #ICJAO

In @EnergyMonitorAI: @VanuatuUN 🇻🇺 is fighting for survival by pushing for a @fossiltreaty and a vote at the #UNGA to have the @CIJ_ICJ give out an advisory opinion on #climatechange policy. Thanks @harjeet11 @sindra_sharma @MeckieviSol for commenting! 🌏 energymonitor.ai/policy/interna…

Happy #WorldWaterDay! I am very thankful to live in the Great Lakes-St Lawrence watershed, the planet's largest freshwater ecosystem. Water is life-sustaining and today let's reflect on our individual & collective responsibilities to protect our waters. #WaterIsLife #GreatLakes

Today I spoke at the Press Conference in @PressClubBXLEU about why the @fossiltreaty is both a climate tool and a peace tool. Now it is time for European governments to replace the #ECT with a climate protection treaty instead ➡️ow.ly/Ve8q50NoYCK

Today a landmark suit filed in New Orleans federal court by Cancer Alley residents demands a full moratorium on any new petrochemical & related infrastructure, citing a “scandalous environmental and public health emergency" and land use policies that are "vestiges of slavery."

"For the first time in the IPCC’s history, a headline statement...declared that the world already has too many fossil fuels in production to limit global warming to the relatively safe level of 1.5° C. [This is] a very big deal." My latest, for @MSNBC: msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…

"Act now or it’s too late" that's the zest of the most important climate report. We must act now and the action is to phase out fossil fuels. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Today, after yesterday's #IPCC report, everything is back to normal – as always. We continue to ignore the climate crisis as if nothing happened. Our societies are still in denial, and those in power go on with their never ending quests to maximise profits. We cannot afford this.
