I just joined this call to conserve at least half of our lands and oceans so the planet and future generations have a chance. Join me by signing and sharing this @Avaaz petition:  #NatureNeedsHalf #50x2030 avaaz.org/50x2030

Establishing a new dedicated fund for biodiversity (or not) has become a major negotiation point here in Montreal #COP15. What's at stake? ⤵️🧵

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, the end game of #COP15 finally began. Developing nations walked out of talks about money. China, Brazil & India have got the most UN biodiversity $ atm. Many think this is unacceptable. theguardian.com/environment/20…

President @EmmanuelMacron, by the time you’re done watching France’s semi-final, the equivalent of 1,000 football fields of primary tropical forests will be destroyed! Players don’t need you at the #worldcup The planet does #COP15 #FRAMAR #MoroccoVsFrance avaaz.org/MacronWorldCup…

My thoughts in The @guardian on the #COP15 state of play: There is an incredible leadership vacuum here, if it continues like this we will soon have to say a definite goodbye to ambition. Is this what the world powerhouses, including China, actually want? bit.ly/3FPUsU1

@LenAmazonas, líderesa indígena del pueblo Uitoto y miembro del equipo técnico de biodiversidad y cambio climático de la @coicaorg convocó a las Partes del Convenio de Diversidad Biológica a incluir a los Territorios Indígenas como una tercera categoría de protección...

Estamos na #COP15, em Montreal, fazendo pressão para que o Brasil e outros países fiquem do lado certo da história e tomem ação já para preservar a biodiversidade

Last day of #OEWG5 — and delegates are not delivering. They're clearly kicking the can down the road. Out of 22 targets, virtually only 5 have clean text, and 3 of them have agreement amongst Parties. Too much will be pushed back to the #COP15, maybe?

Important report out from @Avaaz today at #COP27 called “Drowning in Debt” that calls for a global restructuring of sovereign debt as part of #LossAndDamage compensation. Brilliant! (PDF) avaazimages.avaaz.org/Avaaz_Position…

We hit 8 billion people in the planet today. Many will say overpopulation is consuming the Earth. What I invite you is to look is not how many people there are today, but who are the ones actually eating the planet: the super rich, and the "most developed".

As the world’s population reaches 8 billion, our human family is growing more divided. Unless we bridge the yawning chasm between the global haves & have-nots, we are setting ourselves up for more tensions & mistrust, more crisis & conflict. eu.usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

A green flat earth on #COP27 huge screen at the Leaders Summit today is so... symbolic...

Indigenous Peoples are the guardians of 80% of the earth’s #biodiversity 🍃🦋🐆🍄 Find out how indigenous women are spearheading an @FAO-@theGEF conservation project in #Venezuela’s Imataca Forest Reserve: wrld.bg/kuLG50JYeXN #ForNature #HealthyPlanetHealthyPeople

@GeorgeMonbiot This picture generally sums up the politics. The image of what they say is covering up the truth regarding what their policies do.

The CBD meetings are set to take serious decisions on biodiversity conservation, but none of this will work if actors involved are not transparent on what they are REALLY doing. See our proposal for that here: avaaz.org/GVALastCall_Tr… #SBI3 #SBTTA24

If we want a better planet, we must pay. Literally: one trillion dollars per year of investments in #biodiversity, or at least $967 billion per year. avaaz.org/GVALastCall_Mo… #ShowUsTheMoney #OEWG3 #SBI3

#Biodiversity loss has gone too far. And there is only one way to avoid a tipping point: protecting 50% of the planet NOW! See why here: avaaz.org/GVALastCall_Sp… ​​#OEWG3 #SBSTTA24

Linking #biodiversity and #GenderEquality with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is crucial if we want to have any chance of success. And here is why (and how) we should do it: avaaz.org/GVALastCall_Ge… #OEWG3 #SBI3 #SBSTTA24

They protect #biodiversity in their territories like no government is capable of. And they must be protected in this exact manner. Here is where we stand for on #IndigenousPeoples and Local Communities (#IPLCs) rights: avaaz.org/GVALastCall_IP…

Avaaz is in #Geneva for the @UNBiodiversity meetings. Our main proposal, which you can find here, includes five pillars. avaaz.org/GVALastCall For a deeper understanding of what we are standing for (and what governments should too), follow the thread👇 #OEWG3 #SBSTTA24 #SBI3

“People, Planet and Prosperity” was the tag line of the #G20RomeSummit. What have they delivered in the final communique? A poorer version of the Italian song: “parole, parole, parole” (words, words, words). #COP26 in Glasgow must deliver action, action, action! #COP26Glasgow
