Message-ID: <87B33A8E1818492A80275D0FC8B09F14@evol.sp.ru> Dear friends, This morning, climate fraud Mathias Cormann started his duties as the new Secretary General to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), one of the most powerful organisations in shaping climate action around the world.As leader of the OECD, Cormann will be able to either squash global climate ambition, or supercharge it -- uniting the world in the face of this unprecedented challenge.Unfortunately, Cormann has a horrendous track record on climate, even calling the goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050 ?extremist?. But during his election campaign, he assured his critics that he's ?absolutely committed to ambitious and effective action on climate change?. As he takes office, Cormann will be in the global spotlight. Let?s welcome him with messages holding him accountable and on his toes, by asking: Will you unite the OECD behind humanity?s historic fight to keep the global temperature rise below 1.5?C and give our kids the future they deserve?Join the Twitter storm to let him know we?re watching!RetweetAvaaz's Tweet Dear friends, This morning, climate fraud Mathias Cormann started his duties as the new Secretary General to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), one of the most powerful organisations in shaping climate action around the world. As leader of the OECD, Cormann will be able to either squash global climate ambition, or supercharge it -- uniting the world in the face of this unprecedented challenge. Unfortunately, Cormann has a horrendous track record on climate, even calling the goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050 ?extremist?. But during his election campaign, he assured his critics that he's ?absolutely committed to ambitious and effective action on climate change?. As he takes office, Cormann will be in the global spotlight. Let?s welcome him with messages holding him accountable and on his toes, by asking: Will you unite the OECD behind humanity?s historic fight to keep the global temperature rise below 1.5?C and give our kids the future they deserve? Join the Twitter storm to let him know we?re watching! Retweet Avaaz's Tweet Cormann?s first big test is already waiting for him: The powerful International Energy Agency just published its first ever 1.5?C aligned energy analysis and announced there?s no need for new fossil fuel projects. It?s a big deal, but some OECD countries are already pushing back. Will Cormann rally member states to support and encourage the IEA to align their future reports with the 1.5?C limit instead? Will he pull his weight to ensure the agency from now on focuses their analysis on where we need to go and how to get there -- rather than emboldening the catastrophic status quo? The path he chooses now could seal our planet?s fate. Send Cormann a message now! Step 1 - Retweet Avaaz Step 2 - Write your own Tweet Make sure to include the handle @MathiasCormann! You can refer to @IEA and their chief @Fbirol too. From raging wildfires to torrential flooding and long-term droughts, the climate crisis has arrived. But this could also be the year in which we finally rank up our immediate action and ambition to combat global warming, and start our transition to a cleaner, safer future for all.

Message-ID: <19C50B4AC55B43D483A1B4B981FCAD5C@lewpostnew> Indigenous women in Canada are being forcibly sterilized. This is ethnic cleansing. Demand an investigation! Sign Now You've just given birth. You're so excited to meet your child ? but before you can, the doctor says that you must undergo a procedure first. That procedure is sterilization. You will never be allowed to have children again. This has been happening to Indigenous women in Saskatchewan, Canada for decades, with scores of mothers being coerced into undergoing sterilization. Victims have launched a class action lawsuit against the government, and almost all the plaintiffs say they were lied to about what the procedure would entail. Forcibly sterilizing Indigenous women is a form of state-perpetrated violence and eugenics. It effectively prevents First Nations peoples from creating future generations ? meaning it could wipe out entire communities. Even worse, it's likely that these are not isolated cases, but possibly part of an extended pattern. Senator Yvonne Boyer is calling on the Canadian Senate to authorize a nationwide investigation to determine where and how such eugenics is occurring. Please add your name to the petition. The more international support we can show, the more likely it is that Indigenous women in Canada will be able to finally find justice. Thank you for all that you do, Miranda B. The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Indigenous women in Canada are having their bodies violated, and blocked from having future children. The extent of this human rights abuse is still unknown. Please sign the petition demanding that the Canadian government investigate immediately. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Care2.com, Inc. 203 Redwood Shores Parkway, Suite 230 Redwood City, CA 94065 http://www.care2.com From: Miranda B., Care2 Action Alerts Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2021 11:18 AM Subject: This is ethnic cleansing. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Mandalika lies to the east of Bali on the Indonesian island of Lombok ? it's a beautiful area of coastland with gorgeous waters at its base and majestic green mountains in the distance. Mandalika has practically been untouched by tourism up until now, which has made it possible for families there to build community and industry for generations. But now, the Indonesian government is aggressively backing programs to punch up its tourism industry at the direct expense of these locals, their homes, and their human rights. Make no mistake, this new luxury destination, lauded as "the new Bali," will only serve outsiders and those who stand to profit from their tourism, and will only hurt and disenfranchise the actual communities of Mandalika. The 3,000 square acre project includes plans for massive luxury hotels like Club Med and a Grand Prix motorcycle circuit ? the construction of which have forced local residents to relocate with their families, livestock, and nowhere to go. Many are living near development sites that are completely unsafe. Locals have experienced threats, intimidation, and forcible eviction; the United Nations has even come out against the project which they say is "trampling on human rights." This plan has taken away the security, community, and livelihood of the people of Mandalika, and offers no alternative places to live or ways to make money, essentially dooming them all in the name of rich tourists' dream beach getaways. Act now and urge the government of Indonesia to look after these people by making sure their jobs, housing, and community are secured now and well into the future! Thank you, Lauren The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Indonesia's latest tourism project is ruining the lives of people who actually live there.

That's how critically important this is. Because climate change is a severe threat to our fundamental human rights -- and the crisis has never been more urgent. 2020 is now officially the joint-hottest year ever recorded: a year of runaway wildfires, surging floods, and glaciers vanishing before our eyes. The world is shuddering and this great temple of life is on the edge. We must act now. For years we've been calling for real climate action. This is our chance to force it -- so let's help these kids win! If enough of us chip in, we could: a.. Massively expand and strengthen the legal team to assist attorneys with the trial; b.. Fund ground-breaking research to show how governments are harming our children's futures; c.. Recruit legal aides and researchers to analyse the landslide of documents that government lawyers will submit in days, and; d.. Raise the profile of the trial everywhere by unleashing our best media and campaigning firepower.

Time and again, our movement has fought to protect the planet.

A culture of extraction and destruction is closely tied to a culture of war. Questioning that ethos of destruction and consumption is challenging, but it has belatedly begun. Challenging a culture of militarism is even harder. In the United States, for example, there's legislation for a Green New Deal in Congress, but if passed it would not do anything other than express a commitment to doing numerous things in the future. Those things include some topics many shy away from, such as agriculture. The need to advance a Green New Deal globally even gets a nod. But demilitarization is completely omitted. Militarism is generally given a waiver when it comes to climate agreements, as though the need to preserve life on earth simply can't compete in importance with the need to destroy life on earth. War and preparations for war are not just the pit into which trillions of dollars that could be used to prevent environmental damage are dumped, but also a major direct cause of that environmental damage. Here's a video from another facilitator. Participants from all over the globe will be sharing their insights and generating ideas together.

This is an unethical invasion of privacy! Sign Now Once you enter a high-traffic area like a school or a public place, they're monitoring you. They know your face; they've identified facts about you. No one gets a say in whether or not they're going to be tracked and observed. And lack of regulations mean that law enforcement agencies can use these technologies at will. This is what's happening in Australia, where authorities are using invasive ? and imperfect ? facial recognition technology and artificial intelligence to monitor the general public. This is a violation of our human rights. Facial recognition is not benign. It might seem useful on the surface, but in fact, the tech is often used to profile people using biased, discriminatory biometrics, which is then incorporated into mass surveillance. These data and images are then scanned, stored, and shared in ways that are not always sufficiently secure or reliable. The Australian Human Rights Commission has been extremely concerned about these developments, detailing how facial recognition increases the risk of targeting people of color. As this technology spreads across the world, so too do privacy issues ? and we have to act now. Sign the petition to urge the Australian Government to ban this technology and review the laws surrounding human rights and privacy for the Australian people.

Tell America's largest egg producer to go entirely cage-free! Sign Now The life of an American egg-laying hen in a factory farm is a miserable experience. Crammed into a cage almost too small for her body, she can't stand up or even spread her cramped wings. Packed and stacked next to thousands of other hens surrounding her, the animals are terrified, confused, and traumatized. Every day, she's breathing in the other birds' filth and illness as she lays egg after egg. As consumers become increasingly aware of the cruelty of factory farming, grocers and restaurants have worked hard to seek out cage-free eggs and other more humane animal products. Even better, some states are passing laws requiring better treatment of farmed animals. That's why Cal-Maine Foods, the largest egg producer in the United States, is finally increasing its production of cage-free eggs. But in the pursuit of ever more profits, they also continue to sell caged eggs, making some chickens more lucky than others. This is no way for any animal to live ? whether they're feeding humans or not. Tell this giant egg producing corporation to go entirely cage-free and spare all chickens in their facilities the awful cruelty of cages! Thank you for all that you do, Miranda The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Cal-Maine Foods claims it cares about promoting cage-free eggs. So why does it still have thousands of chickens locked in cages?

Tomorrow, our MEPs could vote to ban the use of these nets and protect our oceans. But our voice has to be stronger than the fishing lobby. TAKE ACTION Hi, Coral reefs, sea turtles, starfish, and countless other marine species will become extinct in Europe if we don?t take action right now. [1] A practice called bottom-trawling causes more direct and avoidable damage to the ocean floor than any other human activity in the world. [2] And it?s happening more in the EU than anywhere else in the world. From the Strait of Sicily to the North Sea, the EU seabed is trawled more than five times the global average. [3] Tomorrow could be a turning point. If we finally start to protect our ocean from the abuses of industrial fishing, there?s a chance that the ocean may recover in a few decades. [4] A ban on bottom-trawling in marine protected areas by our representatives in the EU could signal the start of much needed change to save our ocean. But it won?t happen without public pressure. Last week with tweets and emails, our community helped move European Members of Parliament (MEPs) of the environment committee, who voted to prohibit harmful activities in Marine Protected Areas. [5] But now we need to win the final vote with all MEPs. Take action to protect our oceans! See the updated email below we sent two weeks ago and take action to protect our ocean before it?s too late.

In seconds, these nets destroy everything in their path, killing dolphins, seals, corals, seahorses and hundreds of other marine species. This harmful industrial fishing practice is called bottom-trawling. [1] It?s happening right here in Europe, in the jewel of our oceans, inside Marine Protected Areas. [2] But finally we have a chance to stop it. Today, our European Members of Parliament (MEPs) could vote to ban bottom-trawling in protected areas. But the fishing lobby wants to prevent the ban so that commercial fishing companies can continue to maximise profits by catching huge quantities of ?product? in one go. [3] This is where we come in. MEPs are our elected representatives, they represent us. They listen to interest groups like the fishing lobby, but they also need to listen to people from this community like you, Vladimir. Together, let?s counter the pressure MEPs are facing from the fishing lobby with a massive show of people power. Will you sign? Stop destroying our oceans When fishing nets are dragged across the ocean floor, they catch shrimp and octopuses, but also destroy deep-sea coral and sponge communities like starfish. Once these are destroyed, other fish and other species dependent on them for spawning, shelter, nurseries, protection, and food, may also disappear. This practice causes more irreversible damage to the seabed than any other human activity in the world. [4] It effectively turns our precious marine ecosystems into a wasteland. At the end of May, our community tweeted and emailed MEPs in the environment committee (ENVI) of the European Parliament voting on a ban on bottom-trawling. All of the people we targeted voted to prohibit harmful activities in Marine Protected Areas and there was overwhelming support to protect our ocean. [5] Thanks to this vote, it?s now up to all MEPs to decide the ban?s fate. If thousands of us show an outpouring of support to protect our marine life, it could help them stay strong against the fishing lobby who are doing everything they can to stop the ban. Add your signature now! Stop destroying our oceans Together, we?ve been working for over 4 years to save our ocean. Last year, with a broad coalition of partners we delivered almost half a million signatures to the European Council calling for an end to overfishing. [6] Back then, EU politicians failed to limit catches to sustainable levels. But every action we take together paves the way for the ones we will win and now we have another big opportunity to protect our ocean: sign and message your MEP to stop commercial fisheries from destroying our ocean! With hope, David (London), Giulio (Rome), Annemarie (Berlin) and the rest of the WeMove Europe team P.S. In addition to being highly destructive, the heavy trawl gear used to scoop up the ocean floor also releases huge amounts of carbon stored in the seabed. If we don?t ban bottom-trawling, we will not be able to transition into low-impact, low-carbon fisheries in Europe. Sign now!

Message-ID: <4921C49D908645BB9F64E351079BC2E7@evol.sp.ru> UN Climate Change ?Global Climate Action 7 June 2021 High Level Climate Champions Newsletter Blueing the Ocean In a resilient, zero-emissions economy in the 2040s, the ocean will look much like it does today: still covering about 70 percent of the earth?s surface, absorbing a quarter of CO2 emissions that would otherwise remain in the atmosphere, and housing an abundance of marine life that supports the diets of billions of people. If we continue with business as usual, however, the coming decades will bring more ocean warming, acidification, deoxygenation and biodiversity loss. Pollution and climate change are already destroying the ecosystems that sequester and store more carbon per unit area than land forests, and safeguard coastal communities. That includes salt marshes, mangroves and seagrasses. Some 40 percent of the population is at risk from rising sea levels, eroding coastlines, salinization inland and changing fishing supplies. There is time to course-correct, but it needs to start in 2021. Businesses, investors, cities, region and national governments are already placing the race to zero emissions and resilience at the heart of their health and economic recoveries from Covid-19. Ocean recovery and regeneration need to play a key role in those near- and long-term climate strategies. Danish energy company ?rsted set an example last week, with a first-of-its-kind commitment to ensure that the impact of its renewable energy projects on biodiversity is net-positive by 2030. The company will now work to identify the kinds of projects that will benefit natural ecosystems, habitats and species. To drive this kind of bigger, bolder and faster action for the ocean, the UN High-Level Champions for Climate Action are calling on at least 20 percent of the ocean sector?s largest companies to commit this year to reversing blue carbon ecosystems loss by 2030 and to publicly report their progress. This includes fishing, aquaculture, container shipping, cruise lines and ports companies, and is based on the Champions? new Climate Action Pathway report for the ocean sector. The shift to zero-emissions maritime transport, offshore wind energy, the restoration and protection of ocean ecosystems, and sustainable, low-carbon seafood will simultaneously advance the Covid-19 recovery, emissions reductions and resilience. Accounting for the ocean and coastal ecosystems in the first global stocktake on the implementation of the Paris Agreement, held between 2021 and 2023, and taking action across policy, research, civil society and finance, will provide a further boost, according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. The UN Global Compact and the Champions, will delve further into what national and local governments and the private sector can do to accelerate ocean-based climate solutions during a virtual event today: Catalyzing the Ocean-Climate Ambition Loop Towards COP26. The event features global ocean leaders including John Kerry, US special climate envoy, and Thomas Thune Andersen, chairman of ?rsted and Lloyd?s Register. This will set the scene for World Ocean Day on Tuesday, under the theme ?one ocean, one climate, one future - together?. One Year into the Race to Zero: Leaders Summit The past year has seen an unprecedented rise in the number of companies, investors, cities, regions and national governments committing to reach net-zero emissions in the 2040s - many under the UN Race to Zero campaign. A year after it launched, the Race to Zero now includes more than 2,300 companies, 700 cities, 160 investors and 24 cities, and is running in parallel with its new sibling UN campaign, the Race to Resilience. Both are helping to drive a 50 percent reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions between 2020 and 2030 - while restoring nature and building resilience for the 4 billion people most at risk from the climate crisis now. But the private sector and local governments also need to join UN Secretary-General Ant?nio Guterres and the High-Level Climate Champions in calling on governments to strengthen their climate policies. The UN Global Compact Leaders Summit on 15-16 June will look at the transformational shifts already underway and what is needed to accelerate them. Breakout sessions will focus on cities, transport, bridging the gap between mitigation and adaptation and engaging the youth, among other issues. Complementary registration available here.

Sign Now If you're like me, you may have had no idea what a basking shark was until recently, when a 20-foot member of the amazing species went viral in a TikTok video when it was spotted off the coast of Cape Cod in the United States. Basking sharks are incredible animals that typically grow to 26 feet long and around 11,000 pounds! Despite their daunting size, they are completely harmless to humans ? they don't have teeth, eating instead by swimming around with their mouths wide open and catching plankton and other small fish. But the lack of threat that they pose to people has not been returned; thanks to commercial fishing and other human intervention, basking sharks are listed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. In fact, there are only an estimated 10,000 of these incredible sharks left in the world's oceans today. Thanks to their endangered status, the animal has legal protections in many countries, including in the UK. That's why it's so bizarre that Ireland has zero legal protections for them ? even though Ireland appears to host 20% of the world's basking sharks. Will you sign the petition urging Ireland to pass legislation that would make it illegal to harm or harass basking sharks? Thank you, Lauren The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Basking sharks pose no threat to people, but commercial fishing and human intervention are driving them towards extinction.

Help save the Earth now! Sign Now Vladimir, The most prominent energy agency in the entire world just made an astonishing announcement. In May 2021, the International Energy Agency (IEA) declared that all oil and gas drilling must cease immediately ? or we absolutely will face a climate disaster. Since the 1970s, the IEA has focused on helping rich governments increase energy security and stability of energy supplies. Usually, this has meant pursuing international coordination to keep oil barrels flowing efficiently to many corners of the world. Until now. If you needed further evidence that our climate crisis is severe, the IEA taking a public position against oil and gas is huge proof. The IEA's profound statement specified that government approval of new coal-fired power plants and new natural gas or oil projects should also cease immediately, sales of fossil fuel-based cars should end by 2035, and the majority of all energy production should come from renewable sources like wind and solar by 2050. Some companies, such as BP and Shell, are already transitioning to sustainable energy production, while others like Exxon Mobil are digging in their heels. It's time for all fossil fuel corporations, including Exxon Mobil, to switch to creating clean green energy ? and government leaders, including President Joe Biden, must mandate this switch.

Extending as far as 100 feet below the surface, the slime is murderous. As it becomes more dense, sea snot blocks out light and even oxygen, suffocating marine plants and animals alike to death. Entire coral reefs have morphed from bright, vibrant ecosystems into cold, skeletal remains. Several towns have seen mass die-offs, with thousands of fish turning up dead and crabs asphyxiated by mucus clumped in their gills. Sea snot isn't coming out of nowhere. It's a biological phenomenon in response to climate change and warming waters. When that's combined with pollution from sewage and agricultural run-off, the mixture is toxic ? and sea snot is the product. We created this mess, but helpless marine animals are paying the price. To save the wildlife, we need to stop sea snot! And to do that, we need to crack down on pollution and fight climate change.

CONTACT MEPs Hi, Hundreds of millions of animals in Europe spend most of their lives in a cage, sometimes from birth until death. [1] All to fill the deep pockets of multinationals and big agribusiness. Rabbits, hens, and female pigs can all expect to spend their lives in impossibly cramped conditions. But in just a few days, our MEPs in the EU Parliament will vote on banning cages in European farming ? a huge opportunity to end the extreme animal suffering that?s part and parcel of the way we produce food. [2] The EU Commission has already said they?re planning to take action, but it?s not clear how far they?ll go. [3] They could propose something as ambitious as a ban on all cages in EU farming by 2027! But they?ll only do it if MEPs step up to the opportunity and signal that they would actually vote for a new law like this. If each of us individually contacts our representatives in the EU Parliament directly before this week?s vote, we have a real chance to end cage farming for good! Tweet at MEPs now! Email MEPs now! It only takes one minute! If MEPs don?t vote ?yes? in high enough numbers this week, then the EU Commission may just propose more research studies, which could take years to complete and effectively kicks this can down the road for future politicians. All the while, the suffering of hundreds of millions of animals will hang in the balance. But if MEPs vote overwhelmingly this week to ban cages in EU farming, then the EU Commission will be pushed to take bold, decisive action ? and ban cages in European farming by 2027, once and for all. Some MEPs may not have strong feelings about animal welfare ? others might not even know that this vote is going to be happening. So imagine when these MEPs see hundreds of messages on email and Twitter from us ? their constituents ? asking them to represent us and vote to end animal suffering! Will you take 1 minute to join this action, and pressure our representatives in the EU Parliament to vote for an ambitious ban on cages in EU farming? Tweet at MEPs now! Email MEPs now! It only takes one minute! We?ve literally been working on this issue together as a community for years. [4] Sometimes change takes time, and we don?t always see the impact of our actions right away. But we?ve finally made it to this moment, where the EU may finally take a stand ? all we need is a push to get it over the line. So much of this work is thanks to the European Citizens? Initiative to End the Cage Age, to which our community added tens of thousands of signatures over two years ago! [5] Together with over a million people from elsewhere in Europe, we pushed our leaders to make animal welfare a priority and deliver real, lasting change. We?re finally almost there ? will you help with the final push?

Rabbits raised for meat are sometimes unable to stretch up or out fully and generally do not have enough space to perform a single hop.

CENN. We are proud to present an outdoor exhibition of the extraordinary Austrian artist and environmentalist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, which officially opened on 5 June 2021. The exhibition will stay open to public throughout June and July and will host events every Monday and Thursday. (Please see the programme in the attachment) Tomorrow at 18:00, don't miss the guided tour of the Exhibition at Krstanisi Forest Park. The exhibition tour will be led by Mariam Shergelashvili and the Austrian Ambassador Mr. Thomas Muehlmann. Come and immerse yourself in the world of the Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser and experience his ecological vision. Let us introduce you to his idea of spiral continuity expressed in unique multicolored, non-straight, vibrant and circular shapes and lines. Stroll through the park while learning more about the actions being taken in Georgia today in order to turn the artist?s vision into a reality: the exhibition not only displays the beautiful art of Hundertwasser, but also showcases the work of the Austrian Development Cooperation and its partners. The Krtsanisi Forest Park is a brilliant synthesis of Hundertwasser?s philosophy and symbolizes our close connection to nature, a central theme of the artist?s work. Feel like a true ?Guest of Nature?, while you explore the surrounding authentic flora and fauna, discover Krtsanisi?s biodiversity, and reflect on the need to protect the earth?s fragile beauty. The exhibition is an initiative by the Austrian Embassy in Georgia and the Austrian Development Cooperation with the kind cooperation of the Hundertwasser Foundation in Vienna and curated by Mariam Shergelashvili. Special thanks goes to Austria?s long-standing partners: The Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture of Georgia, the National Wildlife Agency, and CENN.

Sign Now This year, like every other since 2009, the city of Yulin is gearing up for a festival that the majority of Chinese people and activists fiercely oppose. It's the Yulin Dog Meat Festival. Farmed, snatched as strays, or worst of all, stolen from heartbroken families' homes, dogs are brought to the Guangxi region in China where they are subjected to torture and public execution in Yulin's wet market. Wet markets ? which exist in many countries, including the United States ? are markets where animals are kept alive, stressed, densely packed, and then killed on site where their blood, urine, feces, and hair combine, all in close proximity to people. Most experts believe the novel coronavirus, which has killed nearly 4 million people worldwide, originated in a wet market, and have called for every single one to be shut down ? or we risk another pandemic. Yulin is frankly a complete misrepresentation of the attitudes within China. In 2020, when Shenzhen became the first Chinese city to ban dog meat consumption, a whopping 75% of nearly 400 million Chinese citizens polled said they supported the decision. Polls taken as recently as 2019 show that close to 70% of folks in China have never even eaten dog meat. Along with the people of China, there are dozens and dozens of animal welfare groups within the country that vehemently oppose the festival. We stand with them and ask you to do the same.

The event will feature the UN Secretary General, the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Convention to Combart Desertification and world political leaders c.. Opportunities for land restoration globally could generate economic benefits of up to USD 1.4 trillion every year. Costa Rica will present the actions, practices, and public policies that enabled it to increase its forests cover and that made it the first tropical country to halt and reverse deforestation and forest degradation. d.. The Forum will call on the international community to mobilize the highest possible ambition to provide a coordinated response to land degradation, climate change and biodiversity loss around the world. Bonn and San Jose, June 11, 2021. As host of the 2021 Desertification and Drought Day, Costa Rica will bring together world leaders and leading environmental figures on 17 June to rally political support to ramp up land restoration globally in the coming decade. The virtual High-Level Forum will be led by the President of Costa Rica, Carlos Alvarado, and the Minister of Environment and Energy, Andrea Meza. The Forum is part of the 2021 Desertification and Drought Day celebrations organized jointly with the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). The virtual High-level Forum will address the importance of international cooperation and solidarity in the context of global efforts to restore balance with nature and promote peace, while fighting climate change and ensuring human health. Costa Rica is hosting the global celebration this year and will show the impacts and solutions for this problem in a televised talk show program to be aired the same day. The goal for this year?s Desertification and Drought Day is to demonstrate that investing in sustainable land and water management in the aftermath of COVID-19 can invigorate a green recovery, in terms of creating decent jobs and rebuilding livelihoods, but also in protecting societies and economies from potential crises caused by climate change, biodiversity loss and land degradation. In the forum, Costa Rican authorities will highlight how the country has implemented public policies and actions to protect nature for decades, and was the first tropical country to halt and reverse deforestation and forest degradation. Forests cover more than 54 per cent of its territory today and meet the daily needs of thousands for people. More than 26 per cent of the national territory is protected by law and the country is already implementing plans, public policy, and specific actions for land restoration. President Carlos Alvarado said that "for Costa Rica it is important to use its leadership - and it must do so ? to bring many partners together and to be able to raise its voice on this issue." ?Everything is interconnected in today's world. In cities, the desertification issue may be seen as something remote. But what happens in rural areas - the loss of those arable areas - means more pressure on the world's food systems and less food for all and all or less carbon-sequestering forests?, he stressed. The Secretary General of the United Nations, Ant?nio Guterres; the President of the General Assembly, Volkan Bozk?r; UNCCD Executive Secretary, Ibrahim Thiaw; ministers from key countries around the world and civil society participants will also make interventions. Christiana Figueres former executive secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and founder of Global Optimism will moderate the session. ?The pandemic has reminded us how much we depend on each other. How much our fate depends on our relationships with nature. How much we need good political will, combined with collective action, and sustained investment. When these come together, we can make a difference. Restoring land can give us better food and water security, reduced carbon emissions, and healthy air quality. We already have the tools ? like responsible land governance, and investments that protect and restore nature. Investing in healthy land to drive a green recovery is a smart economic decision. This is how we can build a greener, healthier, and more sustainable future,? said Ibrahim Thiaw, Executive Secretary of the UNCCD. Costa Rica?s Call At the onset of the UN Decade of Ecosystems Restoration (2021 ? 2030), and based on its experience and environmental leadership, on June 17, Costa Rica will call on the international community to rally up a high ambition for the stewardship of land as part of a coordinated response to land degradation, climate change and biodiversity loss worldwide. ?And that is what we need to put on the table: mobilizing funds so that we can continue to implement all our land-based solutions. It is critical for all governments, companies, and societies to have this integrated approach. If we want to make progress, tackle the climate crisis, and halt the loss of biodiversity, we also need to have an extremely robust strategy for preserving our soil. That is what is going to give us healthy societies and healthy economies,? added Minister Meza. ?If everyone is not getting vaccinated, we are not going to emerge from this pandemic. If we do not all get together and protect our forests and soils, we are not going to have a common food future. There is no scenario here where some are going to make it and others are not. It?s the entire planet that has to make it,? concluded President Alvarado. The Example of Costa Rica Costa Rica was also the first country to create, in 1997, a Commission for the implementation of the UNCCD. Known as CADETI (Advisory Commission on Land Degradation) the body is led based on the UNCCD?s principles of participation and partnership, with the government sector (Ministries of Environment and Agriculture), civil society and academia all represented. Northern Costa Rica and Guanacaste are part of the Central American Dry Corridor that is hard hit by climate change, negatively affecting livestock and agriculture. These areas, together with the Barranca, T?rcoles, Jes?s Mar?a, and Reventaz?n river basins, are sites where the country is already implementing plans, public policy, and specific actions for land restoration. ?Many people?s lives depend on the health of the land. The fact that we are losing this land due to desertification or drought puts thousands of lives at risk. It is essential for us to form a common front to respond appropriately to this issue so that the next generations will have an opportunity for a good and healthy life,? said President Alvarado Quesada. ?The example of Costa Rica, with its agro-environmental policies, is evidence that public policies both matter and have an impact. The knowledge being generated in our interventions in these river basins and all over the country shows that working with small farmers - implementing soil management, water capture, and pasture recovery measures, among others ? benefits small land owners can be carried out on different scales,? said Costa Rican Environment and Energy Minister, Andrea Meza Murillo. The program for payment for environmental services (Pago por Servicios Ambientales, or PSA), for instance, provides a direct source of income to households that dedicate their lives to working and protecting the land. In 2021, this program will benefit more than 33,000 people in Costa Rica, including indigenous communities and women farm owners. The PSA has helped to protect 320,000 hectares at a cost of over $22 million. Costa Rican government is now developing the Future Footprint (Huella del Futuro) project. About planting 200,000 trees will be planted in the country?s northern zone in the first phase with a view to reforest and reconstruct landscapes and create jobs for the wellbeing of people and the land.

Demand that the Retail Council of Canada keep its promise to end cages for farmed animals! Sign Now The Retail Council of Canada (RCC) is an organization dedicated to representing the interests of retail businesses across the country, from groceries to pharmaceuticals to general merchandise. Several years ago, the RCC promised to prioritize farmed animals' welfare by phasing out cruel gestation cages for pigs and tiny battery cages for egg-laying hens. These changes were set to be implemented by 2022 and 2025 respectively ? until the RCC abruptly changed course this year, reneging on all its previously-made commitments. Gestation crates are metal cages just a few inches larger than the pregnant pigs locked up inside them, each held in a cramped individual cell for months until they give birth. Battery cages are on average smaller than a single piece of printer paper, and hens are squished into these crushingly small containers for their entire lives. Factory farms use these torture chambers in order to pack as many animals into a building as possible, turning them into meaningless objects devoid of life, just so farm executives can squeeze out as much profit as possible. But pigs and chickens experience pain, wants, and feelings ? and right now, they're suffering.

Next week the EU could help solve the plastic pollution crisis at its root by helping reduce the amount we produce and switching to reusable products and systems. But our voice has to be stronger than the packaging industry. Sign now Hi, Have you ever bought apples wrapped in plastic, opened a delivery, or tried to open a child's toy wishing there was not so much unnecessary packaging? Over-packaging is everywhere. Recycling has been presented as the main solution to our waste problem by industry and it is important, but it?s far from enough. Most plastic cannot be recycled and ends up in a landfill or an incinerator. [1] And the waste that can be recycled requires a lot of materials and energy. The only way we can solve the plastic pollution crisis is by reducing what we produce and putting in place robust reuse systems. This means bottles and containers are picked up for reuse, your household cleaning or bathroom supplies are easily refilled when empty, and take-out food is prepared in reusable dishes. [2] And next week we finally have an opportunity. EU decision-makers will start reviewing EU Packaging laws. They could make sure that all of the necessary packaging we use is reusable. But the powerful packaging industry will try to limit the focus of the review on recycling. Together, let?s counter the industry?s pressure with a massive show of people power to ensure the EU chooses to reuse! Join the reuse revolution! Packaging accounts for close to two-thirds of total plastic waste in Europe. [3] And packaging waste is still increasing in the EU and is expected to increase further worldwide as more people buy goods online that need to be shipped and consume products such as food, beverages, and pharmaceuticals on-the-go. [4] The most effective way to reduce waste is to not create it in the first place. This is why reuse is the most environmentally friendly option. It reduces our carbon footprint, saves energy and money, reduces waste that will go to landfills and incinerators, and allows products to be used to their fullest extent. [5] But because the packaging industry with companies like Unilever, Coca Cola, Nestl? and Danone will have to change how they operate and stand to lose profits, they?ll pressure the EU to focus on recycling and not reuse. [6] Vladimir, let?s counter this pressure together to ensure the EU chooses reuse and puts our planet over profits. Will you sign? Rethink Packaging: EU commit to reuse! Over the years our community has been a strong voice fighting plastic pollution. Together, in the hundreds of thousands across Europe and with many partners including Break Free From Plastic and the Rethink Plastic Alliance, we demanded a ban on single-use plastics. And finally, single-use plastics such as plastic straws, plates, cutlery, cotton bud sticks, among others, will be banned across the EU. [7] This will be a turning point in waste reduction. Now we have an even bigger opportunity that will be the most effective way to stop plastic pollution: committing to reuse!

We can't wait any longer to take action ??? sign now to save the giraffe from extinction! Sign Now Giraffes are one of the most beloved wild animals on the planet, but their existence is in grave danger. Almost 40% of the species has died in the last 30 years. Two of the biggest reasons for the giraffe's rapid decline are loss of habitat and poaching. Human development has pushed animals off their principal grazing lands, leaving many of these animals to starve to death. Meanwhile, those that survive are often killed to help families pay for basic necessities, because giraffe bones, heads, and other body parts can be sold for a significant sum. Countries in which giraffes roam, like Nigeria, Malawi, and Senegal, must do more to protect these iconic African creatures by creating anti-poaching and giraffe habitat restoration programs before it's too late. If we choose to do nothing, we could soon live in a world in which the giraffe can no longer sustain its population naturally in the wild. Please sign this petition to urge government leaders in Nigeria, Malawi, and Senegal to save the giraffes by funding and implementing essential conservation programs. Thank you, Miranda The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Fewer than 100,000 giraffes remain in the wild ? less than the number of elephants. If you don't want to see the majestic giraffe become extinct, please sign this petition today. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Care2.com, Inc. 203 Redwood Shores Parkway, Suite 230 Redwood City, CA 94065 http://www.care2.com From: Miranda B., Care2 Action Alerts Sent: Sunday, June 13, 2021 7:04 PM Subject: Giraffes will go extinct if we don't act fast -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

New York, 14/06/2021- Climate change, overuse and conversion for agriculture, cities and infrastructure mean that one fifth of the planet?s land area is degraded. This damage, which also drives drought and desertification, harms the livelihoods of almost half the planet?s population. However, as much as one billion hectares can be restored over the next 10 years if there is political will. The world leaders set the direction for the coming decade at the at a High-Level Dialogue on Desertification, Land Degradation and Drought convened by the President of the General Assembly, Volkan Bozkir. ?We are facing a triple planetary crises of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, and land is at the centre of all three,? said UN Deputy Secretary General, Amina J. Mohammed at the meeting. She laid out four priorities for the coming decade: Raising ambition on land restoration, including aiming to end illegal deforestation; investing in land-based solutions to sustain COVID-19 recovery efforts and tackle the climate crisis. Doing this, Ms. Mohammed said, is possible while creating strong economic returns; getting the financing right to scale-up land restoration and translate commitments into action; and measure our land resources and ecosystems to value them so that natural capital ? our land, forests, wetlands and other ecosystems -- are recognized in economic reporting and that our natural assets are maintained like our economic assets. ?Put simply, a land-centred approach to COVID-19 recovery can change the world,? said Executive Secretary of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), Ibrahim Thiaw. ?So far, the world's largest economies have already spent USD 16 trillion in post-covid recovery efforts. Investing a fifth of that amount, collectively, per year, could shift the world?s economies to a sustainability trajectory. Within a decade, the global economy could create close to 400 million new green jobs, generating over USD 10 trillion in annual business value.? The meeting comes against a backdrop of increasing concern about land loss and soil degradation. A report released in early June by PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency draws up a stark picture if urgent change to current land-use policies is not undertaken. A scenario of no change will mean an increase in agricultural production in sub-Saharan Africa and Central and South America to meet growing food demand, leading to 300 million hectares of land being cleared by 2050. This would lead to a decline in global biodiversity by 6%, a loss of 32 gigatons of carbon to the atmosphere and a marked decline in soil health and its ability to hold water, leading to increased chances of drought and floods. However, through a combination of restoration and protection, an improvement in land management using known practices with proven results would enable the world to restore more than 5 billion hectares of land, leading to increased crop yields, improved water-holding capacity of soil and a significant reduction in the release of greenhouse gas emissions and increased carbon storage. It would also reduce loss of biodiversity, and overall increase income for farmers. This ambitious plan ? in line with the Sustainable Development Goals ? to protect 30% more of the land by 2030, could reduce biodiversity loss by nearly one third, see a 9% increase in global agricultural yields, and dramatically increase carbon absorption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions according to the same report. ?These are not utopian scenarios,? UNCCD?s Ibrahim Thiaw, said. ?It is fully within our abilities to reach this most ambitious scenario. But it takes determination among the world?s leaders to do so.?

Message-ID: UN Climate Change ?Global Climate Action 14 June 2021 High Level Climate Champions Newsletter Africa Climate Week 2021: Get Involved! The organizing partners of the Africa Climate Week 2021 are accepting Expression of Interest submissions from stakeholders interested in joining the Virtual Thematic Sessions. Organized in partnership by UN Climate Change, UNDP, UNEP and the World Bank, the Africa Climate Week Virtual Thematic Sessions are scheduled for 26-29 July and will be hosted by the Government of Uganda and open to the public. Each of the Regional Climate Weeks provide a platform for engagement by national and subnational governments, regions, cities, indigenous communities, the private sector, and civil society. The Week is an opportunity to discuss implementing national climate action plans under the Paris Agreement and the regional collaboration that enables bold ambition on the way to COP 26 in Glasgow. This year, the Regional Climate Weeks focus on three themes: a.. National actions and economy-wide approaches ? Discussion on ambitious action in key sectors and how these actions can integrate in national planning and economic packages to enable COVID-19 recovery and support the Paris Agreement. b.. Integrated approaches for climate resilient development ? Collaboration to discuss the climate risks facing Africa, develop low-carbon solutions and seek partnerships for risk-based approaches to adaptation and resilience building. c.. Seizing transformation opportunities ? A platform to explore breakthrough solutions to deliver climate action at a scale that puts Africa on a low-emission and highly resilient development pathway, with focus on key sectors of the economy that need deep transformation. Join us by sharing an engaging video in the Action Hub, hosting a Side Event or as a Supporting Organization for one of the thematic tracks. Submit your Expression of Interest before the 21 June deadline. How Do You See the Future of the Race to Zero? You can share your views on the future of the Race to Zero campaign with the High-Level Champions for Climate Action, by attending the opening session and launch of the Public Consultation on the Future of the Race to Zero on 23 June. You can register for the event here. This session will start a 10-week period for receiving written feedback to consultation questions, which will be published soon after the event. The consultation will explore how to drive cooperation and coordination within the climate action ecosystem to leverage the capacity and expertise of cities, regions, businesses, investors and civil society and ensure that commitments are fulfilled in the 2020s and beyond. It builds on a recent process to clarify and strengthen the Race to Zero's campaign criteria. Reminder: One Year Into the Race to Zero Leaders Summit A year after it launched, the Race to Zero now includes more than 2,300 companies, 700 cities, 160 investors and 24 cities, and is running in parallel with its new sibling campaign, the Race to Resilience. Both are helping to drive a 50 percent reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions between 2020 and 2030 - while restoring nature and building resilience for the 4 billion people most at risk from the climate crisis now. But the private sector and local governments also need to join UN Secretary-General Ant?nio Guterres and the High-Level Champions in calling for ambitious climate action. The UN Global Compact Leaders Summit starting tomorrow - 15-16 June - will look at the transformational shifts already underway and what is needed to accelerate them. Breakout sessions will focus on cities, transport, bridging the gap between mitigation and adaptation and engaging the youth, among other issues. Complimentary registration available here.

New EU rules could see the worst of these practices banned ? but only if we raise our voices loud enough. SIGN NOW Hi, 200,000 cows, sheep, and other farmed animals crowded and packed together in sweltering conditions, starved to death on ships as their food ran out. They died a few months ago after waiting for the Suez Canal to reopen. Most of them came from Europe. [1] All of this is due to the live export trade. Animals inflicted unimaginable suffering crammed into ships and sent around the world, usually just to be slaughtered for meat and leather on arrival. [2] New Zealand has already banned live export, and the UK is also planning to do so. As momentum builds for a global ban, the EU is investigating current rules on live export that could lead to an effective ban. [3] But this won?t happen without mass public pressure. That?s why today, with over 100 other organisations like Compassion in World Farming and Four Paws International, we?re launching one of the largest petitions against live transport ever! Sign now to stop unnecessary suffering of animals What happened in the Suez Canal isn?t an isolated example of tragedies like this. In December 2020, nearly 3,000 calves left a Spanish port but were denied entry to several countries. They were stranded at sea for three months in shocking conditions and eventually taken back to Spain for slaughter. [4] In November 2019, nearly 15,000 sheep drowned below deck when their ship capsized after leaving Romania. [5] But even when there aren?t incidents like this, these journeys are still tragic. Animals are exported under severe stress and may face extreme dehydration, exhaustion, hunger and death ? even without unexpected delays and capsizing. Those that survive these gruelling journeys often then face slaughter. Live export is a global problem and a globally connected industry. That?s why we?re working with partners all around the world to make our leaders finally listen! And if we could get the EU to ban live exports, it could influence the industry globally. Sign now to stop live export of animals Together our community has worked to radically change our industrial farming system and the way we treat animals, and we?ve made big waves. Last week we wrote to our MEPs to demand they ban cages in EU farming. Just on Thursday, they responded with a vote supporting a ban. [6] These wins are all small steps towards really changing how we farm but we?re nowhere near done yet ? please join us in calling for a ban on the live export of animals. Thank you, David (London), Giulio (Rome), Mika (Bordeaux) and the entire WeMove Europe team PS. Reducing the actual slaughter of animals for meat production will clearly take time, but until then we can at least reduce the amount of horrendous and unnecessary suffering we cause to animals.

It's an idea so controversial even other fossil fuel companies are alarmed. But we can stop it IF we get Adani's biggest investor, Blackrock, to come out against the plan. Tell Blackrock to speak up now! Sign the petition Even billionaire coal barons know that the era of coal-fired power is over. But they're refusing to just leave it in the ground. So instead they've come up with a horrifying back-up plan: turn their unburnable coal into the dirtiest plastic on earth. We?ve just found out that Adani Enterprises has submitted plans to build a $4bn plant to convert coal dug from its bitterly opposed Carmichael mine in Australia and turn it into toxic PVC plastic in India. But we can stop this terrible plan before it ever gets off the ground, Vladimir, IF we can get Adani?s investors to revolt. Tell Adani's biggest investor Blackrock to oppose Adani?s dirty plastics plan. The world already has a plastics problem. And a climate crisis. Adani?s idea combines the two -- coal based plastics create triple the greenhouse emissions of conventional plastic. Even within the fossil fuel industry, converting coal into plastic is controversial. One oil executive described coal-to-plastics plants as ?massive CO? machines that make chemicals as a sidestream.? And it's not just environmental damage to be concerned about. PVC plastic production creates more toxic outputs than any other form of plastic, leaving workers and nearby communities at far greater risk of deadly health impacts. But here's the thing: these plans are new and Adani can only embark on this massively controversial and risky $4bn plan if its investors are on side. We've succeeded at getting Blackrock to use its influence over Adani before. If we raise our voices together we can create global pressure on Blackrock to withdraw its support from Adani Enterprises over these toxic plans. Sign the petition: Blackrock say NO to Adani?s toxic coal plans. Investor pressures matter: last year, thousands of SumOfUs members joined a global push to stop the State Bank of India (SBI) loaning to Adani's coal mine. The outcry you helped create forced Blackrock to intervene and pressure the SBI not to make the loan. Thanks to this intervention the loan is still stalled! When we raise our voices, investors like Blackrock listen. That's why we need to build loud and swift outcry to this terrible proposal. Add your voice now: Sign the petition Thanks for all that you do, Nick and the team at SumOfUs More information: India's Adani Group plans 2m tonne/year coal-to-PVC plant Independent Commodity Intelligence Services, 24 May 2021 Black coal to white trash Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, 13 February 2020 Biggest India Bank Torn Between BlackRock and Funding Coal Bloomberg, 3 June 2021 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SumOfUs is a community of people from around the world committed to curbing the growing power of corporations.

This highly vulnerable species must be protected! Sign Now Facebook has just been caught allowing a woman from Canada to illegally advertise and sell the skulls of dead polar bears to people in the U.S. Vanessa Rondeau runs a boutique shop filled with expensive "oddities" ? primarily the heads and bodies of dead animals, including endangered, vulnerable, and protected species. This violates the U.S. Endangered Species Act, making it a crime. Yet to this day, her shop's Facebook page is still live and active, and filled with new posts about other murdered animals' remains. Over the past six years, Rondeau has shared approximately 30 posts offering polar bear skulls for sale, providing information such as: "Friday deal!! Juvenile polar bear skull 280$" In doing this, Rondeau knew she was breaking the law. When speaking with a buyer who happened to actually be an undercover agent with the U.S. government, she bragged that authorities had never caught her. But ultimately, the shop owner was so flagrant with her criminal activities that authorities sniffed her out. So why hasn't Facebook done anything? Sign the petition to demand that Facebook kick this seller off its site, and actually abide by U.S. laws protecting endangered animals! Thank you, Miranda The Care2 Petitions Team P.S.

About EU Green Week Green Week is an annual worldwide event on sustainable development organized by the European Union. During the week, various types of events and thematic debates are held around specific topics. The theme for 2021 is zero pollution for healthy people and the planet. The Goal of the Campaign Act for Climate is a comprehensive campaign that aims to educate and empower youth and adults in Guria, Imereti, Racha-Lechkhumi and Kakheti regions about the power of our daily choices and the huge impact these choices have on the climate change, health and wellbeing of both ourselves, and our planet. The social event will raise awareness in all levels of society about the role of civil society in tackling climate change. This will be done through the event's comprehensive educational and social activities that will involve the target audience of the GEO-CAP project. The event will take place simultaneously in four of the project?s target municipalities and will involve the project partners, youth, eco-clubs, educational institutions, and local authorities and media representatives. About the EU-supported Georgia Climate Program (GEO-CAP) With the support of the EU, in 2021 CENN launched the Georgia Climate Program (GEO-CAP). The project supports Georgia to act on climate change by introducing climate friendly behaviour and reinforcing cooperation and trust between state and non-state actors, strengthening regional CSOs via supporting the implementation of concrete initiatives together with local communities and empowering people to engage in advocacy processes that will result in collaborative climate actions in the target regions of the project. CENN will implement the GEO-CAP over the next 4 years together with partner organisations in 4 target regions (Guria, Imereti, Racha-Lechkhumi, and Kakheti) with the Human Rights-Based Approach approach. The European Union supported Georgia Climate Action Program (GEO-CAP) is implemented by CENN together with the Kakheti Regional Development Fund (KRDF), the Chiatura Union (ACU), the Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti Agrotourism Development Association (RLS-ADA), and the Young Pedagogue?s Union (YPU). The target municipalities of the project are Gurjaani, Sagarejo, Akhmeta, Zestaponi, Tkibuli, Chiatura, Lanchkhuti, Ozurgeti, Oni, and Ambrolauri. The total budget of the project is 1 million euros.

Waters is trying to silence and bully the whistleblower who exposed its illegal plastic dump. He really needs your help today. Tell Nestl? to urgently clean up its mess and drop the case against Didier Thouvenin. Sign the petition Sucking dry an already drought-stricken water table, illegally pumping and monopolizing water resources, an embezzlement probe, and now plastic and chemical pollution. Nestl? Waters is behind all of this. Not surprised? We are not either, but just like the people of Vittel in France, we are shocked and appalled. There are no less than 9 illegal dumps, some of which are more than 50 years old, scattered around the mineral water territory of Vittel and Contrex?ville in Eastern France. That?s enough plastic and chemical waste to fill several dozens of Olympic swimming pools. This pollution is denounced by brave locals. One of them, the farmer Didier Thouvenin, is now facing a legal complaint from Agrivair, a "green" subsidiary of Nestl?. He is accused of trespassing on Nestl?'s land to expose the massive illegal dumping site next to his farm. Enough with the bullying: Tell Nestl? to clean up its illegal dumps and leave Didier Thouvenin in peace. Every year, more than 1.5 billion plastic bottles bearing the Vittel, Contrex or H?par labels leave the Nestl? Waters factories around Vittel. With 245 million euros in sales and 900 jobs, Nestl? feels almighty. The powerful multinational doesn't care about laws, the environment, or the people. Since 2014 and the discovery of the first illegal plastic dump, Nestl? hasn't done anything -- well, it did try to cover up this scandal. It's only recently, after media attention was drawn on two newly discovered dumps that the Swiss polluting giant, in a desperate communication move, has admitted the existence of 9 illegal dumps in total. And instead of cleaning up and rehabilitating the contaminated land, Nestl? and its subsidiary Agrivair have found nothing better to do than to sue the farmer who first sounded the alarm back in 2014. What a shame! We must expose Nestl?'s mafia-like behavior before it is too late for Didier : Demand that Nestl? leave Didier Thouvenin alone and de-pollute its illegal plastic dumps. Behind its paper thin ecological facade, the Swiss multinational -- which is fond of greenwashed marketing campaigns -- has been caught red-handed. The polluting giant is now revealing its true face to the world. The soil is polluted, but even worse is the potential pollution of the region's water supply. The same water that?s bottled and sold as Vittel, Contrex and H?par mineral water. If we don't act now, Nestl? could once again get away with appropriating and destroying public resources. Together, SumOfUs members and the people of Vittel have already defeated Nestl?. Last year, as a result of your massive mobilization and support of the people of Vittel, you helped stop an environmentally destructive water pipeline project. Nestl? is nervous. This legal action against Didier Thouvenin is proof of that. It's time for us to turn up the pressure on Nestl? and deliver the final blow. Tell Nestl? to clean up the region and that you support the heroism and courage of Didier Thouvenin.

Hi, Last week brought a wave of wins that started with the oceans. On Tuesday, we heard that Members of the European Parliament voted to ban the crazy practice of trawling the ocean floor in protected areas. [1] Not only this, but reliable sources in the Parliament told our partners that a big part of this result was down to our petition and social media action. [2] Now I have to be honest: the show isn't over yet. For the oceans to see a difference, we are going to need the European Commission to put this rule into the EU Action Plan on Oceans due after this summer. But we have won the first major battle and have the power to finish it off. Watch this space! Watch and share WeMove campaigner Giulio?s message after the results On Wednesday, we heard that President Macron in France agreed to support suspending patents on vaccines, so that factories in the Global South can produce their own. [3] He responded to the call from India and South Africa supported by more than 2.7 million people including WeMove Members. [4] As much as donating vaccines is needed in a crisis of countless deaths, we know that COVID won?t be gone tomorrow. Meanwhile, highly qualified vaccine manufacturers are literally ready to produce, waiting for the necessary know-how. But big pharma greed and deep pockets stand in the way. Our campaign got a big boost with France?s ?oui? and the US' 'yes' before that. But Merkel is still saying ?nein?. Next stop Germany? Watch and share the video explaining why we need to break the big pharma monopolies to achieve vaccines for all On Thursday, MEP?s voted to stop suffering for farmed animals caused by cages. [5] With over 250,000 individual emails and tweets we helped get 558 MEPs come out in favour of ending the age of caged up animals. This was a huge majority! [6] Now the stage is set for the EU Commission to propose ambitious new laws phasing out cages in EU farming. Watch MEP Norbet Lins saying he feels like he received 1.4 million emails at the start of his speech on the day of the vote But not everything is awesome. Yesterday we met the team of European Commission Vice President Timmermans in Brussels to tell them that 220,000 of us don?t want forests to be used as fuel, burnt down to meet Europe's renewable energy targets. [7] The meeting left me worried. Unfortunately, the European Commission is giving up the fight rather fast and is already talking of compromise deals and technical solutions like tightening sustainability criteria and killing bad subsidies (instead of just banning subsidies for forest destruction). Most of this is about fear of the wrath of countries like Sweden, Finland, Austria and a number of Central and Eastern European Countries who still think burning forests is ok. Well, at least their governments do! Just 10 days back, our community put real pressure on the Finnish government by mass tweeting the Finnish Minister for Environment. She saw our tweets and answered that she too wants to ?stop fake renewables?. [8] We need to see more of this kind of well-timed pressure. You can still sign the petition and chip in to actions here. We will come back to you with more creative actions to keep the pressure up. We will not give up until they accept that burning trees is dangerous, irresponsible and a false alternative to fossil fuels. A tweet from Finnish Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, Krista Mikkonen [7] It?s been a crazy, intense and rewarding last ten days, made possible by this powerful community. If every week was like the last one, Europe would really be making us proud. So let?s keep going. With every day, we are making more waves.

Message-ID: When we heard that WhatsApp was forcing its 2 billion users to either accept an abusive data policy or have their accounts deleted, the SumOfUs community came together to fight back -- and we won! Facebook-owned WhatsApp had announced that, from February this year, users around the world would be forced to agree to their data being collected and shared with the wider Facebook group, or lose access to the app! Not only was this plan a huge abuse of corporate power, it was actually illegal! Thanks to the European Union?s strict data laws, Facebook had already decided not to roll out this policy version in the EU. But in countries including Brazil -- which has a similar data protection law -- it was pressing ahead regardless. While the EU was enjoying its full rights, Brazil and the rest of the world were not! Brazil -- Facebook 's second biggest market -- was also set to be one of the countries worst affected by WhatsApp?s policy. Millions of Brazilians now depend entirely on the app for work and communication and faced a false choice between forfeiting their data and harming their livelihoods. How this played out would have global repercussions. So we sprung into action! The fight was colossal. See below for a summary of our actions and the victories that reverberated around the world, winning greater protections for citizens everywhere: "Thanks to the partnership between IDEC and SumOfUs, the Brazilian authorities took unprecedented action, and caused a cascading effect worldwide, especially in Latin America -- forcing Facebook and WhatsApp to back down and desist from forcing the more than 2 billion users to accept the app's abusive and illegal policy. Without SumOfUs, perhaps none of this would have happened. As members of the movement: be very proud. This is a historic victory against one of the most powerful companies in the world! We will continue the fight knowing that, in fact, when united, we can win the most difficult battles for the protection of citizens' rights around the world." Diogo Moyses Digital Rights and Telecom Coordinator at IDEC, partner organization A Global Appeal from over 200,000 people! Over 200,000 people worldwide signed our petition demanding an end to Facebook?s coercive behaviour, and calling for users who reject the abusive policy to be allowed to keep their accounts. We filed complaints against Facebook and WhatsApp: and we won! After weeks of searching -- and being rejected by several law firms too afraid of Facebook to accept the work -- we finally found a data protection lawyer willing to take the tech giant on. The stinging legal opinion she went on to write, highlighting the multiple ways in which the new policy violated the law, became the basis of a major legal push that ultimately tied Facebook?s hands! SumOfUs took her legal findings and ran with them, filing administrative complaints against Facebook and WhatsApp before various competent authorities, who responded and thanked us personally for our efforts and the quality of the materials!! We made incredible partnerships and built a global movement! Until SumofUs got involved, Brazil?s Consumer Defense Institute (IDEC) was the only organization challenging this corporate abuse in the country. We formed a strong partnership, and together built a movement of more than 90 civil society organizations across Latin America, who united to take a public stand against the policy: We were in all Brazil?s biggest newspapers! For more than 6 weeks in a row our campaign was highlighted in the national press! Profiles, interviews and analyses -- featured in media across the political spectrum -- put our campaign firmly in the public eye, won new allies and ramped up the political pressure. The Authorities heard us! All these efforts culminated in unprecedented coordination from federal authorities, who came together to demand a 90-day repeal of WhatsApp?s policy in Brazil. This was the first time something like this had happened in the country?s history! And it forced the company to do the same across the world! But we didn't stop there... But we still weren?t satisfied. We needed to be sure that those who refused to accept the abusive policy would keep the right to continue using the app. And after another round of administrative actions, we won again! On May 28, WhatsApp finally announced that anyone who did not accept the new policy could continue using the app, worldwide. Nothing is achieved by walking alone. Along the way we have been inspired by and joined forces with warriors in India, the US, Germany, Brazil and elsewhere. The action of each partner organization, whether individual, collective, public, or otherwise, was crucial to this victory. We can never say that this was the fruit of just one organization: it was a collective, international effort, built step-by-step. Together we showed the biggest companies in the world that there are limits to what they can do -- that they cannot simply bulldoze over our hard-won rights for the sake of bigger profits. And we made it clear that the people united will never be defeated.

Read the article here. Share the story on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram: This story is significant because politicians and the mainland community need to hear directly from Torres Strait Islanders on the frontlines of the climate crisis. There was a big spread with a feature article and photos featuring #TorresStrait8 claimant Stanley Marama and Ned David, chair of Gur A Baradharaw Kod (GBK) Sea and Land Council, who are partners in this campaign. These stories humanise the climate crisis and help put pressure on the government to take urgent action now. Share the article now to your networks, send it to your local MP, and make sure our story is heard far and wide. The Australian government is rejecting the #TorresStrait8?s landmark climate justice case on the grounds that it cannot be held individually responsible for climate change because it is a global problem. That?s why we need to continue to build our campaign to hold the Government accountable so it can?t shirk its responsibility to First Nations people any more. Artwork by Violet Cully The Torres Strait 8 claimants have five demands of the Australian Government: 1.. Fund adaptation programs that will allow Zenadth Kes communities to adapt to climate impacts 2.. Commit to going 100% renewables in Australia in the next 10 years 3.. Support Zenadth Kes communities to build community-owned renewable energy 4.. Transition away from fossil fuels as rapidly as possible through a just transition for workers 5.. Push the world to increase global ambition and keep warming to less than 1.5 degrees It is a huge win that the frontlines are making headlines, but we need to keep up the pressure on the Australian Government, Vladimir!

In August several claimants are heading to Canberra to lobby our politicians on their demands.

The largest nuclear power company in the country--Exelon--now wants to get out of the nuclear energy business. This ought to be a great day, right? But here?s the problem: Exelon isn?t proposing to shut its reactors down and replace them with renewable energy, as it should. Instead, it is pushing one of the largest, most dangerous corporate schemes in history: to ?spin-off? its fleet of 23 aging, uneconomical reactors to a completely new, totally separate company currently called ?SpinCo?. ACT NOW: Say NO to Exelon's dangerous nuclear spin-off scheme! This new company will be under even greater pressure to cut costs on nuclear safety while operating a fleet of aging, embrittled reactors. And it will put five states and dozens of communities at greater risk of meltdowns and abandoned, radioactive sites when the reactors close down. Exelon is proposing this spin-off because it no longer sees a future in nuclear power. It is increasingly risky and uneconomical. So Exelon has decided to get rid of its nuclear power plants because no other company sees a future in them either. Transferring them to a new corporation that will only own 23 uneconomical reactors places us all at immense risk. TAKE ACTION: STOP THE NUCLEAR SPIN JOB! But here?s the deal: Exelon needs government approvals for its risky spin-off scheme to succeed. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the New York State Public Service Commission (NY PSC) are both accepting public comments on Exelon?s proposals--they need to hear from you, today! Tell Federal & State Regulators--Protect the Public not Exelon?s Bottom Line If Exelon gets away with this, it will set precedent for the rest of the nuclear industry. Other nuclear power companies could follow suit--dodging their responsibilities and putting all of the risk on the public. This is a fight for all of us. Thanks for all you do!

The GAR Special Report on Drought is launched highlighting future trends Bonn, 17/06/2020 - World leaders are rallying support for a coordinated and coherent approach to reverse the loss of healthy land in light of the role it can play in the global efforts to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and to deal with the crises of climate change and the loss of biological diversity. At a virtual High-level Forum hosted Thursday, 17 June, by President Carlos Alvarado Quesada of Costa Rica, high-ranking government and UN officials reinforced the perspectives shared at the High-Level Dialogue convened by the Presidency of the UN General Assembly three days earlier. President Carlos Alvarado Quesada of Costa Rica said desertification and drought, the climate and biodiversity are all part of the same equation and need to be acted on this decade and in a decisive way. Among other measures, he stressed the need to restore ecosystems and to find and pursue new ways of production that are sustainable. President Quesada said there is a consensus from leaders to act and several technology and nature-based solutions exist. He stressed that what is needed are the political will and finance to act, and underlined that investment in land is not an intangible investment but one that is tangible for people everywhere, even in cities. The President organized the High-level Forum in observance of Desertification and Drought Day celebrated worldwide on 17 June every year. Costa Rica is hosting the global observance event this year. Leaders decried the declining health of the land due to its impacts on people and nature underlined that protecting and restoring land can help drive a green recovery while preventing future pandemics. ?Humanity is waging a relentless, self-destructive war on nature?.We must make peace with nature. The land can be our greatest ally. But the land is suffering,? said Ant?nio Guterres, UN Secretary-General, in his message to the Forum. ?Restoring degraded land would remove carbon from the atmosphere. It would help vulnerable communities adapt to climate change. And it could generate an extra $1.4 trillion dollars in agricultural production each year. The best part is that land restoration is simple, inexpensive and accessible to all,? he added. ?Investing in nature-based solutions, specifically land restoration, will allow us to build forward better, greener, healthier, stronger and more sustainably?every dollar spent on ecosystem restoration generates seven to thirty dollars to the economy? in addition to delivering the other many benefits identified, Ibrahim Thiaw, the UN?s top adviser on the sustainable management of the land and Executive Secretary of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), said at the Forum. The pandemic had given us an opportunity to rethink the future we can create, he said, adding that we have the tools to succeed, to deliver and increase ambition, but only if we got the financing right ? starting with COVID-19 stimulus packages ? and applied the tools we have with determination, vigor and strategic vision. President of the General Assembly Volkan Bozir said land degradation ?is an issue that requires the international communities urgent and focused attention. Our ability to flourish depends on how we rebuild our relationship with nature, including the health of our land. I call on world leaders to invest in land restoration as part of post pandemic recovery strategies and to partner with stakeholders at all levels.? Bozir thanked President Quesada for calling for a high-level alliance to raise ambition around the issue when the President spoke at the High-Level Dialogue held Monday by the Presidency of the UN General Assembly. Ministers from Algeria, Botswana, Iceland, Peru, Republic of Korea, and Senegal also addressed the Forum. ?Restoration.Land.Recovery,? the theme of this year?s celebrations was chosen to drive actions to protect and restore natural ecosystems as we recover from COVID-19 by demonstrating, with Costa Rica as the prime example, that investing in healthy land as part of a green recovery can create jobs, rebuild livelihoods and insulate economies from future crises caused by climate change and nature loss, and accelerate progress on all 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Christiana Figures, former Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and founder of Global Optimism, who moderated the session, said humanity is at a turning point and summarized the four actions needed to reset our relationship with nature. ?Reverse the losses we have incurred. Restore degraded lands. Regenerate soil, water and air. Recover productivity.? Meanwhile, as part of the Desertification and Drought Day celebrations, UNCCD announced the winners of its prestigious Land for Life Award and, together with the UN Disaster Risk Reduction, launched the GAR Special Report on Drought. An 8-member international jury declared Familial Forestry from Rajasthan, India, winner of this year?s Land for Life Award because of its innovative land restoration and conservation method that promotes the well-being of communities and improves their relationship with nature. The jury was impressed by Familial Forestry?s achievements and how they relate a tree to the family, treating it as a green member of the family. The award presentation will take place in August at the 8th Kubuqi International Desert Forum in China, and the winner invited to present and highlight his work and accomplishment at the UNCCD?s 15th Session of Conference of the Parties in 2022. Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) received the Land for Life Special Mention award of the UNCCD Executive Secretary, Mr Ibrahim Thiaw, for its exceptional work as the world?s largest knowledge-led platform on sustainable and inclusive landscapes. At the launch of the GAR Special Report on Drought, Executive Secretary Thiaw said the findings show that ?we must act now to prevent future droughts from destroying development gains,? stressing that that no country is immune to drought and ?when over 1.7 billion people already face water stress, this is a huge problem.? The Report states that preventing drought has far lower human, financial and environmental costs than reacting and responding. A mechanism for drought management at the international and national levels could help address the complex and cascading nature of drought risk. QUOTES Land for Life Award: Ibrahim Thiaw, UNCCD Executive Secretary: This year, the theme of the Award is ?Healthy Land, Healthy Lives?. It reflects land as part of the solution as the communities worldwide recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and build back better around a social contract for nature. ShyamSunder Jyani, Associate Professor, founder of Familial Forestry: Familial forestry is my effort to reciprocate my love and debt to my roots and to the mother earth. Robert Nasi, Director General of the Center for International Forestry Research: The Global Landscapes Forum is honored by this recognition from UNCCD. Land degradation and desertification is a multi-faceted problem where single sectoral approaches won?t work. By working together, across sectors and regions we can restore the balance between people, animals, and the environment to sustain productivity in these ecosystems, while supporting the aspirations of the next generation. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with UNCCD to restore and protect the biodiversity and livelihoods of the world?s drylands. About Land for Life Award Every two years, UNCCD organizes the Land for Life Award. The Award recognizes excellence and innovation in efforts towards land in balance. The past editions shed light on inspiring initiatives of recovery and restoration of degraded landscapes worldwide. They all made a significant contribution towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15: "Life on Land", in particular Target 15.3 land degradation neutrality (LDN).

Transportation has a huge impact on climate change, and although most people are dependent on these methods of transportation, there are still plenty of things people can change to decrease their carbon footprint. Not only do cars contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, but air pollution caused by exhaust fumes from traffic poses a serious threat to public health. It has been shown to affect the health of unborn babies and increase the risk of dementia. The global transport sector emits 14% of these emissions Georgia?s updated NDC sets implementation period for Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan between 2021 and 2030 through identification of individual mitigation measures contributing to achievement of the sectoral goals. By 2030, Georgia plans to mitigate the GHG emissions from the transport sector by 15% from the reference level; Here are are several ways you can help to reduce transport emission ? Instead of getting in the car, walk or cycle ? and enjoy the physical and mental health benefits, and the money saved. ? For longer journeys, use public transport, or try car sharing schemes. If driving is unavoidable ? Investigate trading in your diesel or petrol car for an electric or hybrid model. ? Switch off the engine when you park up. ? Make sure the tyres are fully pumped, and that the oxygen sensors are in good order ? this can improve the cars fuel mileage and efficiency by up to 3% and 40% respectively.

WEBINAR: Approaches to progress reporting on National Adaptation Plan (NAP) implementation June 24, 2021, 3:00 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. (UTC+2) A NAP progress report can serve to inform government workers, the general public, and the international community about what is working to build resilience to climate change and what is not, in which contexts, and why. This is essential for accountability purposes, as well as for learning and improving the next version of the NAP. As more and more countries start implementing NAP processes, the question of how to report on the progress and results of adaptation actions to different stakeholders, from local to international levels, becomes more urgent. Hosted by the NAP Global Network, this webinar will look at what has already been done in terms of NAP progress reporting and derive lessons that could guide countries who are about to start this process. Want to learn more and prepare for this event? Our experts wrote a blog about the findings of their review of NAP progress reports!

It's official: Juneteenth is now a federally recognized holiday, commemorating the date when Black people in Texas were told of their emancipation from slavery. While this is in no way comparable to the reparations that are due and the systemic changes we must continue to fight for, it is a step in the right direction of historical acknowledgment. Black communities have celebrated Juneteenth for 155 years, so it is historic that Congress and the White House have finally recognized it as a national holiday. Now, to truly honor Juneteenth and Black people?s struggle for collective liberation in the US, we must live up to the true meaning of the holiday. NIRS and our allies at Georgia-WAND have issued a statement, providing a deeper look at the history of Juneteenth and its implications for nuclear energy and environmental justice.

Glyphosate is a DNA destroyer, explosive new research reveals. But if these results aren?t published soon -- our governments could approve Monsanto?s poison again.

Other governments are doing the same. It?s a disaster. But independent scientists just finished a first-of-its-kind study that shows how glyphosate damages DNA in internal organs. This game-changing study is ready, but its authors have come to us asking if we can pay for it to be published in top publicly-accessible journals. That way, government officials can?t just turn a blind eye to it, like Bayer?s lobbyists would want them to. This could get glyphosate banned. If enough members like you chip in just $3, they can submit it to the journals today -- but we need to be quick. Every day we wait, farmers and gardeners keep spraying this poison with abandon on our fields and playgrounds. Are you in? If you?ve saved your payment information with SumOfUs, your donation will go through immediately: Donate $3 now Donate another amount Pesticide companies need to prove that their products are safe. In many places, governments have to ban chemicals if new, trustworthy data says there?s a problem. For over 40 years, industry-funded researchers have focused on bone marrow tests to prove that glyphosate pesticides are fine. ?Glyphosate?s safe, look at our data? they?d say -- and governments ate it up. But now this new study shows that glyphosate may not harm bone marrow, but it ravages other organs instead. When this gets out in top scientific journals, Bayer can kiss their cosy consensus with health authorities goodbye. And if that doesn?t do it -- we can sue the authorities to get a move on. For all we know, Bayer-Monsanto has done exactly the same research, and just buried the data to protect their profits. Internal Monsanto emails, released during a US lawsuit recently, show bosses knew years ago that the company had ?potential vulnerabilities? that could be uncovered one day. We almost succeeded in getting glyphosate banned in Europe four years ago -- but the might of pesticide industry lobbying was simply too much. Our fields, our food -- even our bodies are contaminated with the stuff. This is our chance to ban glyphosate in the EU, and around the world. Every extra money we raise will power our campaigning against the pesticide industry -- and fight for bans across the world. This study -- if we can help spread it far and wide -- could break Bayer?s spell over our regulators, and end the age of glyphosate.

This school was one of many state-funded institutions that forcibly removed hundreds of thousands of First Nations children from their families ? up until as recently as the 1990s. In addition to being stripped of their heritage, culture, religion, and languages, minors were also physically and sexually abused in these institutions. First Nations people today ? some of whom are themselves survivors of these schools, while others are direct descendants of survivors ? continue to live with the enduring and brutal legacy of this cultural erasure and violence, as well as with the present-day bigoted system. Experts say the trauma of such en masse abuse and isolation at Canada's residential schools is one of the root causes of today's widespread substance use on reservations, itself another deadly consequence of Canada's horrific past. The entire tragic and cruel history of these schools demands a fresh examination and reckoning. Sign the petition to demand that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledge and investigate the rampant cruelty of these residential facilities and invest in tribes to repair the damage. Thank you, Miranda The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. For generations, young children were ripped from their families and cultures, and then abused to death.

I hope you find it useful! Best, Dorka International Media Associate Global Strategic Communications Council (GSCC) E: dorka.bauer at gsccnetwork.org M: +491786815087 This monthly email is a brief analysis of major themes in recent international media coverage of climate and energy. It will be produced monthly in the run-up to the COP26 negotiations, which will now take place in November 2021 in the UK. It provides an assessment of how climate and international diplomacy is discussed in English-language international media, based on insight from social listening tools, media databases and intel and insight from GSCC's network of communications experts. THIS MONTH'S KEY OBSERVATIONS a.. Coverage of energy, climate and climate diplomacy in international media decreased by 50% from the April/May period (estimated using Talkwalker). The decrease is due to less climate coverage of the G7, compared to last month's buzz surrounding Biden?s Climate Summit. b.. Expectations were high ahead of the G7 summit, however, it ended with little cause for celebration as countries fell shockingly short on climate finance promises. The lack of details, and inability to table more ambitious climate pledges, puts Glasgow?s COP26 in jeopardy, experts say. c.. In a groundbreaking report the IEA urged an end to new fossil fuel exploration, if we are to stay 1.5C aligned. This message, however, was not heeded to by the G7. The G7?s commitment to end new coal funding is simply not enough, commentators say, with Japan and the US vetoing a date for the end of coal. d.. Coverage about carbon markets is picking up. Those in support of industry-led voluntary carbon markets fear that uncertainties surrounding the upcoming Article 6 negotiations are hindering current market developments. Others warn that voluntary carbon markets could become a greenwashing exercise if accounting and governance issues are not sorted out. THIS MONTH IN NUMBERS INTERNATIONAL MEDIA COVERAGE 1. Success in Glasgow hangs in a thread after the G7 failed to agree on climate finance details As heads of the US, Canada, Italy, Germany, France, the UK and Japan, along with peaceful and colorful protesters, coalesced in Cornwall for the G7, expectations were high. Ahead of the event everyone from Prince Charles to leading CEO?s, scientists and investor groups were hoping that the G7 would be a climate crisis game-changer. Just the week before, polling showed overwhelming public support for G7 nations to help poorer countries cut fossil fuels by providing finance. Links between the COVID-19 and climate change crises were drawn: among others, Paul Polman, Dr Saleemul Huq, Gordon Brown and Tasneem Essop emphasised that the G7 was a crucial opportunity for governments to plan an equitable vaccination roll out and to make significant progress on the promised $100 billion in climate finance. The summit, however, ended with little cause for celebration. The G7 leaders - who were accompanied by honorary online guests from Australia, South Africa, South Korea and India (online) - (re-)agreed to net-zero by 2050, halving emissions by 2030, ?improving? climate finance, 1 billion vaccines, and protecting the 1.5C target. Though the outcome looked good on the tin, experts were quick to point out that unless countries agreed on timelines, details and how to actually provide financial aid and vaccines to poorer countries, November?s COP26 in Glasgow will be a flop. As put by former UN climate envoy Rachel Kyte: ?on the outside the deal looks good, but there?s little detail on the inside'' or by Paris Agreement architect Laurence Tubiana: ?the world's richest democracies have responded [to the crisis] with a plan to make a plan?. New climate finance commitments at the G7 were so lacking that Boris Johnson was left to re-announce previously allocated cash. Only Japan, Canada and Germany set out new climate finance pledges, but they came nowhere close to filling the finance gap. These new finance pledges were not advertised widely by government communications teams and went largely unnoticed in the press. Progress on climate finance is a make-or-break issue for Glasgow, as experts underlined this month. More optimistically, Laurence Tubiana offered her advice to Johnson, saying that though the UK needs to do more to reassure the developing world, the path to Paris in 2015 was far from smooth either. Experts are now eyeing up the UN General Assembly, to be held in September, as the next chance for richer countries to rectify their lacking attempts at sorting out the climate finance corundum.

The G7 fall short on commitments to end coal The G7?s commitment to end support for coal production overseas fell short of what?s needed. Earlier this month the International Energy Agency (IEA) said that an end to new fossil fuel development is required to stay below 1.5C. Its new net-zero roadmap was cautiously welcomed by most commentators; regarded as a more ambitious call for decarbonisation from the traditionally conservative agency. With this in mind, the G7?s inability to commit to end coal in their own countries was seen as miles off the mark. A G7 end-date for coal was blocked by Japan and the US, despite Biden announcing that on issues like climate change ?the United States is back?. The G7 fell at a particularly sensitive time for President Biden whose push for a major infrastructure package has divided Congress - and may depend on the vote of just one senator: Joe Manchin, from the coal-dependent state Virginia. The lack of coal commitments left protesters disappointed, including a hoard of yellow Pikachus targeting Japanese coal, and Extinction Rebellion (XR) activists who marched across St. Ives in the hundreds. An XR spokesperson described the disappointing summit as putting us ?in no better position than before the G7 took place?. The elephant in the G7 room? Historical responsibility. Myles Allen, the Director of Oxford Net Zero, took a look at what was not said at the summit. Even though emissions are going down in some G7 nations, this does not reverse historical contribution. Today, the G7 nations produce about a quarter of the world?s emissions, and have spent over $189 billion on fossil fuels bail outs. Looking ahead, Prof. Allen also suggests that countries need to get serious about carbon removal, as stopping emissions alone may not be enough to heed the Paris goals.

Carbon markets and anticipations of Article 6 negotiations Carbon market chat is speeding up. Offsets via nature - like planting trees - are seen by some companies as key to reaching their climate commitments, however, 90% of voluntary nature-based credits fail to meet a set of sustainability criteria, a new white paper by carbon capture nonprofit enterprise Compensate concluded this month. Bloomberg interviewed more than a dozen people involved in a new task force - headed by Mark Carney, CEO of Standard Chartered Plc. and former governor of the Bank of England - and found many areas where the proposal remains unclear. A murky record of carbon accounting has spurred the creation of the taskforce, which hopes to launch a better (private-sector led) pilot market this year. But concerns about transparency are growing, and have even led Unilever to consider withdrawing their support from the taskforce, Bloomberg reports. Some stakeholders, interested in growing voluntary carbon markets, say that the uncertainty of COP26 negotiations on Article 6 is holding back market developments. Article 6 will decide whether countries can use voluntary carbon markets to achieve climate goals. But many worry that no agreement will be reached: at the COP26 preparatory talks, held this month, discussion on carbon markets reached a ?stalemate? according to a senior climate diplomat. The eventual goal of a carbon market is emissions reductions, but without good regulation and accounting it risks turning into a greenwashing machine. Voluntary markets have grown significantly in recent years, and according to standard setter Verra, the market will continue to grow regardless of the COP26 outcome - the question is just by how much.

CHINA The coverage of G7 on Chinese media was limited and mostly came from state-owned media. Overall, Chinese media took a defensive, hostile framing. A popular narrative was to frame the G7 as a venue where the US tried to get its allies on board to contain China - the US alternative to Belt and Road Initiative, language on Taiwai, Hongkong in the Communique were evidence. Splits among G7 countries were particularly highlighted, and the meetings were described as unproductive, unsatisfactory. SOUTH KOREA G7 wasn?t really a big thing in South Korea except for the fact that the country was invited to the event. So lots of coverage on it was just about the government claiming that the country?s global status has been ?upgraded? to that of the Group of Seven, and other stories were about China under diplomatic pressure and Covid-19 vaccine. G7 wasn?t really linked up well with climate in the Korean market. INDIA The key message from the G7 coverage was about India's need for climate finance from the developed countries. Modi's speech reiterating India's commitment to climate action and being the only G20 nation on track to meet its Paris commitments, made the bulk of G7 wrap-up coverage. Environment Minister Javadekar also stressed upon the $1.1 trillion climate finance owed by the developed countries for their historic responsibility makes India's stand clear for the upcoming multilateral events in the year. CANADA Canadian coverage of the G7 began on a defensive note, as Canada was the only G7 member taking vaccines from Covax but not donating any. On the first day of the G7, a government official leaked to multiple Canadian media outlets that Canada would announce a vaccine donation by the end of the G7. Canadian coverage mentioned that climate was on the agenda but focused more on vaccines and discussions on China. Several wire stories on climate finance were picked up by Canadian media outlets. Also in the news - Canada hasn't yet released a formal position on waiving vaccine patents though Prime Minister Trudeau confirmed Canada is in talks with the WTO on this. AUSTRALIA The G7+4 meeting marked a perceived softening of pressure on Australia on climate, much to the dismay of climate advocates and the joy of the Federal Government, fossil fuel companies and right wing media. Despite signalling that part of Australia's invitation to the G7 was to press for greater climate commitments, Australia emerged diplomatically unscathed, claiming support for its "technology not taxes" mantra, with Australian Deputy Prime Minister also claiming a win with Japan's insistence on excluding so called "abated" coal plants from the declaration to end coal power. Australia also secured a Free Trade Deal with the UK with no climate commitments. Without external pressure, Australia will likely meander towards a non-binding and inadequate net-zero by 2050 target at some point this year, while simultaneously continuing to ramp up coal and gas exploration and production.

Summit we now have four months to go to COP26. We know the SBs have not been easy, not least because of the virtual format, but also in terms of observer participation, which needed fighting for all the way through. I want to thank everyone from the network who worked together during the last three weeks to unite behind our missions to get civil society voices heard, both inside and outside of the negotiations. I believe we succeeded in doing this. While we could not be face-face, the passion and commitment of the members in all the discussions we had was palpable and inspiring. Thank you all! We are now in a critical four-month period before the Glasgow talks (in whatever format that meeting eventually takes) and we know we are far off track in terms of what we need to ensure this COP26 delivers on climate justice. The outcome from the G7 summit has only confirmed that rich nations are not interested in demonstrating meaningful global solidarity, whether not meeting their obligations on climate finance or on delivering the means to achieve vaccine equity. While we may pivot to the next big political moment, whether the G20 meeting or the UN General Assembly meeting, we have to ask ourselves what we should be doing differently to get these leaders to act differently? The moment to show solidarity, in the midst of a historic pandemic and as the climate crisis escalates, is now!...not in two months, not in four months and definitely not next year. The apathetic lack of urgency to meet the immediate needs of those on the frontlines of these twin crises and to deliver on old promises, can only be seen as a huge moral failure and a breach of trust. Our work continues and we can take a moment to recharge and reorient our strategies and align our thinking. One thing is for sure - we stay in the fight. I am inspired this week by reading the stories of all the prize winners of the Goldman Environmental Prize, one among whom is CAN member Kimiko Hirata, who has inspired us all. Their work is testimony that perseverance, courage and unrelenting pressure can and will yield results. We are so honored to work among those who have shown us what is possible.

The Big Con: How Big Polluters are advancing a ?net zero? agenda to delay, deceive, and deny (Corporate Accountability, June 2021) This report makes clear that Big Polluters? idea of ?net zero? is part of their continued plan to protect deeply unjust global systems, distract from taking the real action needed, and to evade responsibility for the climate crisis and to continue to pollute. Governments must stop buying into and reinforcing this dangerous scheme, and instead commit to real action to reach the needed emissions reductions by 2030, and to hold Big Polluters accountable for their deception.

Net Zero by 2050: A Roadmap for the Global Energy Sector (International Energy Agency, May 2021) This special report is the world?s first comprehensive study of how to transition to a net zero energy system by 2050 while ensuring stable and affordable energy supplies, providing universal energy access, and enabling robust economic growth. It sets out a cost-effective and economically productive pathway, resulting in a clean, dynamic and resilient energy economy dominated by renewables like solar and wind instead of fossil fuels. Fossil Fuel Exit Strategy: An orderly wind down of coal, oil and gas to meet the Paris Agreement (The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, June 2021) Last month, the IEA sent a strong signal that governments should end licensing and finance for new oil, gas and coal extraction with its first release of a 1.5?C-aligned energy scenario. The conclusions from Fossil Fuel Exit Strategy, however, go a step further: to limit warming to 1.5?C, the world not only needs to end the expansion of fossil fuels but also needs to actively wind down existing coal, oil and gas projects. The world simply doesn't need any more fossil fuels as there is more than enough renewable energy potential worldwide now to meet the world?s energy needs during this transition and expand energy access for all.

When you think of climate change mitigation and reducing your carbon footprint, you probably think of driving less and turning out the lights; but did you know that organic and inorganic waste that you produce is also a huge contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions? A zero waste lifestyle not only keeps material out of our landfills, but it reduces your carbon footprint. Did you know? a.. When organic waste decomposes, carbon dioxide and methane gas is created. Methane is created when there is no air present, while carbon dioxide is the natural product when anything rots in air. b.. The production and incineration of inorganic waste uses natural resources such as water, fuel, metal, timber and this results in the emission of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide and other pollutants. c.. Plastic waste produces greenhouse gas emissions during every stage of its lifecycle. d.. The extraction and transportation of plastic is dependent on oil, gas, and coal. The production and disposal of plastics also release tons of carbon emissions. e.. Globally, in 2019 alone, researchers estimate that the production and incineration of plastic will pump more than 850 million tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. By 2050, those emissions could rise to 2.8 billion tonnes. There are several ways you can help to cut consumption and waste a.. Refuse to purchase what you don?t need, this prevents the production and disposal of waste b.. Buy in bulk rather than buying individually packaged goods c.. Reuse things rather than throw them away d.. Reuse plastic waste and eliminate the need for new plastic products to be made! e.. Keep waste out of the landfill and allow it to become new material f.. Avoid single-use items and fast fashion, and try not to buy more than you need. g.. Shop around for second-hand or quality items that last a long time. h.. Give unwanted items a new life by donating them to charity or selling them on. i.. Avoid wasting food.

CENN, in cooperation with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), start the implementation of a new initiative Promotional Campaign for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Technologies in Rural Areas in the following municipalities of Georgia: Khulo, Keda, Akhalkalaki, Borjomi, Kazbegi, Tetritskaro, Dedoplistskaro and Lagodekhi. The aim of the campaign is to raise the sales of thermal EE/RE solutions in the target municipalities via the implementation of an awareness raising and promotional campaign. The project aims to introduce large-scale, rural energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies, which will mainly benefit the introduction of innovative technologies in 8 target municipalities and the regions of Georgia in general. People interested in energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies from the 8 target municipalities of the campaign will have the opportunity to participate in the activities planned within the campaign. The campaign is being implemented with the assistance of the European Union (EU) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) within the European Neighbourhood Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development (ENPARD).

Message-ID: UN Climate Change ?Global Climate Action 22 June 2021 High Level Climate Champions Newsletter The Cutting Edge Fashion of Climate Action Fashion is a global business, an art and a deeply personal form of expression. Its supply chain cuts across the economy, from raw materials, to artistic and functional designs, to small-scale and mass production, to retail, marketing and consumers. Now a coalition including fashion brands, textile and clothing manufacturers, civil society organizations and industry experts are setting a new trend: faster, bigger emissions reductions. The Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action last week released the coalition?s Decarbonizing Fashion Milestones Document, which is produced in partnership with the Climate Champions? team, in complementarity with the Industry Climate Action Pathway. The document, based on contributions from over 25 industry organizations between 2020 and 2021, looks into known decarbonization efforts in the fashion space, compiled to support the industry?s transition to net-zero carbon emissions. The work has helped generate alignment on short-, medium-, and long-term action and milestones required to reach net zero in the 2040s, while providing a holistic overview of decarbonization efforts and milestone tracking. The aim is to promote and amplify existing initiatives on the road to COP26 and beyond. This is crucial, because the fashion sector is responsible for 4 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to McKinsey and the Global Fashion Agenda. At the current pace of reductions, emissions from fashion by 2030 will be double the maximum needed to limit global warming to 1.5?C. The report identifies four key areas of ?white space? where the fashion industry can focus its efforts to tackle the climate crisis. Energy: The shift to renewables and efficiency could make the biggest emissions reductions - and support a wider clean energy transition in developing countries where much of the world?s apparel and textiles are produced. Signatories of the Fashion Pact, for example, aim to power their operations entirely on renewables by 2030 and to incentivize the use of renewables for manufacturing processes across the supply chain. The Apparel Impact Institute is working to make mills more efficient and reduce up to 10 per cent of their CO2 emissions. Finance: The apparel market is forecasted to grow to over US$2 trillion by 2025. This offers a US$20-30 billion per year financing opportunity for the development of innovative technologies and business models, according to Fashion for Good and BCG. Investment is needed in particular for hard-tech solutions such as new raw materials. Fashion for Good?s Good Fashion Fund is scaling up venture capital funding and the International Finance Corporation is promoting access to finance for apparel companies. Policy: Policies to incentivise the clean energy transition, textiles recycling and wider innovation can help to accelerate the sector?s zero-carbon transformation. The Fashion Charter is working to encourage enabling policies in Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia and other Southeast Asian countries. Consumers: From when we buy a piece of clothing to the way we wash it, reuse it, recycle it or choose to toss it - our fashion choices play a role in decarbonizing fashion, too. Nearly a quarter of emissions come from consumer usage and waste, according to the Global Fashion Agenda and McKinsey. The Fashion Charter and UN Environment Programme are developing a playbook to communicate a 1.5?C lifestyle to consumers, due out later this year. The Climate Action Trendsetters Some fashion brands are already blazing the trail on the race to a healthy, resilient zero-emissions world in the 2040s - and many are in the Race to Zero. Burberry became the first luxury brand to pledge to become climate-positive by 2040. To get there, the British brand intends to cut emissions in its extended supply chain by 46 per cent by 2030 and help others in the industry follow the same path. Affordable and fast fashion retailer H&M similarly aims to have a climate-positive value chain by 2040, starting with climate-neutral by 2030. Fashion brand Ralph Lauren is aiming for net zero emissions across its operations and value chain by 2040, with a 30 per cent reduction in both between 2020 and 2030. Outdoor clothing retailer Patagonia, a B Corp Climate Collective member, aims to reach net-zero emissions across its supply chain by 2025 by shifting to full renewable energy, using recycled and renewable materials and developing low-emission dyeing techniques. Sportswear brand Puma aims to reduce emissions from its own operations by 35 per cent and across its supply chain by two-thirds between 2017 and 2030 en route to net zero by 2050. Sports brands Adidas, New Balance, Nike, Salomon and Under Armour, luxury conglomerate Kering group and brands Chanel, Salvatore Ferragamo and Stella McCartney, Chinese viscose rayon leader Sateri, the manufacturers Artistic Milliners from Pakistan, DBL Group from Bangladesh and RT Knits Ltd from Mauritius, chain retailer Target Australia, and major zip-maker YKK Group are all part of the Race to Zero campaign, too. What is the Future of the Race to Zero A year after launching the UN Race to Zero campaign, we know where we?re headed and we increasingly know what it will take to get there. The question is, what does the Race to Zero campaign look like after COP26 in November? How do we keep members on track to ensure they progress towards and continually raise their commitments? The UN High-Level Champions for Climate Action want to hear your thoughts. We are therefore launching a public consultation, with an opening event on Wednesday, 23 June (register here). This kicks off a 10-week period in which we encourage you to submit written responses to specific questions outlined in the consultation. The submissions will then be made public and open to discussion as we work together to set out the future of the Race to Zero. In Case You Missed It a.. The Race to Zero?s rapid growth in its first year shows that halving emissions by 2030 is the new normal, with more than 4,500 non-state actors from 92 countries committing to robust climate action. Watch the Race to Zero?s birthday video here. Major new joiners include Google, Microsoft, Apple, Pfizer, Engie, JLL and Visa. a.. Land degradation from climate change and the expansion of agriculture, cities and infrastructure ?undermines the wellbeing of 3.2 billion people,? UN Secretary-General Ant?nio Guterres said last week. ?Restoring degraded land would remove carbon from the atmosphere ? help vulnerable communities adapt to climate change ? and it could generate an extra US$1.4 trillion in agricultural production each year.? a.. Renewable electricity outcompetes existing coal-fired power, yet the share of fossil fuels in the global energy mix remains as high as it was a decade ago, at 80 percent, according to REN21?s Renewables Global Status report. G20 countries barely met, or even missed, their 2020 renewable energy targets, REN21 found, calling the targets ?unambitious?. a.. Bigger, more frequent and longer-lasting wildfires are exposing larger populations, including in urban areas, to harmful and prolonged levels of wildfire smoke, according to a report by Climate and Health Alliance in Australia, the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment in Canada and the WONCA Working Party for the Environment. a.. NATO countries have invited the alliance?s secretary-general to formulate a ?realistic, ambitious and concrete? emissions reduction target and assess the feasibility of reaching net zero by 2050. They will also begin a regular high-level climate and security dialogue to exchange views and coordinate further action. a.. The University of Edinburgh and UN have launched a partnership to develop a system for businesses to measure and reduce emissions across their operations. The framework will make it possible to assess the most cost-efficient way to make the biggest dent in greenhouse gases. a.. The travel and tourism sector can reduce the amount of single-use plastic used by, among other steps, giving contractual preference to reusable product suppliers, planning ways to avoid a return to single-use plastic in the event of disease outbreaks and supporting research and innovation, according to a report by the UN Environment Programme and the World Travel and Tourism Council.

All because industry insiders are pushing hard to have burning trees classed as 'renewable energy' under new guidelines. We just met with the Commission?s team deciding the fate of our forests. With over 200,000 of us signing the petition calling on them to rethink, we made sure they heard us all. [1] But Vladimir, decision makers will only change course if the opposition is visible everywhere. When opposition to plastic waste reached a boiling point, top decision makers had no choice but to start banning single-use plastics. Now, the next three weeks are critical if we are to win this time. The EU Commission?s team will be hard at work finalising their plans and by the start of July, their initial position will be fixed. They will be watching for signs of public opinion closer than ever. So, imagine this. A video exposing the impact of burning forests goes online ? with footage from the frontlines. Adverts ensure it features all over the social media channels we use each day, connecting with millions. As more watch, the bigger the splash becomes. Add to that protests, and articles in the news. It dominates dinner table conversations for weeks. The EU team won?t be able to avoid it, online or offline. How about it, are you in? If each of us gives in just a little now, we can produce and promote a hard-hitting video just in time. Donate ?5 Donate ?10 Donate ?20 Donate another amount We have a history of standing up for our forests ? and winning. We came together to secure their future from threats in Romania, Bulgaria and Poland! [2] Now is our chance to stand up for all forests in Europe, and even the United States. [3] Currently, 60% of the EU?s renewable energy is from bioenergy. [4] Much of it is from industrially burning trees for electricity and heat. This fuels the climate crisis. We know we won?t solve the issue overnight, but if we act fast now we can stem the tide. All they have to do to save our forests is remove trees from the list of 'green' energy sources. We?ve costed it out and need ?11,000 to pull this off. With that money we can fund: a.. Hiring freelance video makers in the areas most affected by deforestation, capturing footage on the ground. b.. Producing a short film with the footage and advertising it all over the internet in these three weeks, connecting more people with the unseen reality. c.. Reaching out to top European media outlets to secure coverage of the film and increase the voices pressuring decision makers. d.. Bring the protest to the streets of European capitals by supporting local climate groups in coordinating an EU-wide forest protection day. It might seem like a lot to achieve alone, but luckily we?re not alone. We are a community of over a million people, so when each of us gives a little it adds up to a whole lot more. If we move together we can make great things happen. So, will you back the plan to turn up the pressure on the EU to protect our forests? Donate ?5 Donate ?10 Donate ?20 Donate another amount Thanks for being part of this, David (London), Thomas (Brussels), Olga (Bologna) and the WeMove Europe team P.S. The latest figures show that people are watching over 10 hours of video online a week.

Demand the UN prevent the extermination of Uyghur peoples. Sign Now For nearly a decade, the government of China has been conducting a campaign of ethnic extermination against the Uyghurs. An ethnic minority population originally from Northwest China, the Uyghurs are also Muslim ? which officials see as somehow a threat to their political domination. Now, China's campaign has reached a massive escalation point. Other countries are beginning to arrest, detain, and deport their Uyghur residents ? sending them back to China, where they are "disappeared" and often never seen nor heard from again. Chinese authorities have already rounded up more than 2 million Uyghurs, trapping them in concentration camps where they are tortured, electrocuted, stripped of their culture, and coerced into forced labor. As a result, China has seen a mass exodus of Uyghur famlies as they've fled to seek safety abroad. An obvious choice seemed to be Muslim-majority countries in the Middle East. But now Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia have been cooperating with the Chinese government to extradite Uyghurs, with loved ones powerless to save family members. This frightening display of international cooperation with genocide must not be allowed to continue. The United Nations has a moral duty to get involved. It must not allow such ethnic cleansing to continue! Sign the petition now! Thank you, Miranda The Care2 Petitions Team P.S.

Some of the biggest names in Tech will discuss how Europe can create a ?Paris Agreement for Disinformation? to effectively protect our democracies and users? rights on social media. The EU has just tabled some of the most advanced proposals to fight disinformation, but Big Tech is ready to try to water it down. It?s key that EU decision makers feel a mass of eyes on them and their actions going forward! Click here to register to the Avaaz Webinar on Thursday at 2.30pm CET Disinformation threatens humanity?s ability to tackle the key issues of our time. Climate change, pandemics, human rights, biodiversity, and helping expand democracy across the world all require protecting our communities against disinformation designed to polarize us and silence the facts. As anti-democratic governments and other actors weaponize social media to harm us, it is on us to protect freedom of expression and our information ecosystem. Clear, transparent regulations are needed now more than ever. This conference is designed for us to find the best ways to do that. One of our most recent reports has shown how, one year after the start of the pandemic, Facebook is still failing to protect Europeans from dangerous COVID-related disinformation (Politico, Vice, Forbes, Le Figaro, El Pa?s, Repubblica, Estad?o). Our work has contributed to convince the EU of the need for more ambitious action. But now we need to make sure that these proposals are not watered down. The Avaaz Webinar on Thursday will show them that citizens are watching! Click here to register to the Avaaz Webinar on Thursday at 2.30pm CET Speakers to the event will include: a..

But right now Europe?s politicians are considering sweeping new laws that could end this nightmare by finally reining in Big Tech. And we have a chance to show them the stories behind the stats. If your child, or a child you know, has had a tough experience online, would you take a few minutes to share your story? -- we'll take these stories to key politicians in Brussels so that they understand why they must act now. Yes, I'll share my story of how Big Tech is harming children I love Every day brings new headlines highlighting the nightmare children face online -- from bullies on Instagram to weight loss videos on TikTok. And now Facebook wants to push this on 8 year olds with its planned Instagram for Kids! It?s crystal clear: social media is built to serve the interests of tech billionaires -- at the expense of children. If Europe acts now, it could set a new standard for tech laws that force these companies to change how they operate everywhere. But to get politicians to change the rules, we need to show them real lives are being harmed on a daily basis. Will you help by sharing your story? You can stay anonymous if you prefer. Yes I'll share my story of how Big Tech is harming children I love You can see some of the stories our community has already shared with us here. We deeply respect the courage of these parents and kids -- and we'll work hard make sure stories like these become a thing of the past. We know it can be hard to share this stuff, particularly when it concerns children. If you can't share your story today, you can still help by calling directly on Big Tech companies to detox the algorithms that push people - including children - to extreme content. It's easy for politicians to ignore even the worst problems when they're just facts and figures on a page -- so much harder when it's real people's lives. Let's make them take notice.

It was just a PR stunt. Sign Now For the last several years, the Australian government has been conducting a PR stunt to try and convince the world that its policy of exporting live animals is actually humane. In 2018, officials created the "independent observer" program to ensure animals' welfare was maintained on all ships. Originally, the government required an observer to supervise every single journey in which live animals were exported to other countries. Within one year, regulations loosened significantly, and within another year, the program was paused entirely. Now it's been an entire year since any live export ship has left Australia with an observer on board, meaning for one whole year, care for the treatment of sheeps, cows, and horses was thrown to the wind. The government explained away this change in policy by stating that independent observers were "non-essential" personnel during the COVID-19 lockdowns, as if animal protection were somehow not important. But these export journeys inflict tremendous cruelty, stress, abuse, and neglect on the poor beings involved. In the past, animals have died from starvation, injury, freezing conditions, baking alive in horrible heat, and myriad other horrific ways. If they survive these floating deathtraps, the animals are then butchered to become dinner meats overseas. Independent observers were meant to prevent this type of cruelty, but the government has said the program won't resume until mid-2022 at the earliest. This means mistreatment, cruelty, and possibly death will continue for at least another agonizing year. Tell Australia's government: independent observers on live export transit ships are absolutely "essential" employees! The program to protect exported animals must be reimplemented now! Thank you, Miranda The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Broiling, freezing, and starving to death, livestock animals on export ships suffer horrific fates. The Australian government must protect these creatures now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Care2.com, Inc. 3141 Stevens Creek Blvd. #40394 San Jose, CA 95117 http://www.care2.com From: Miranda B., Care2 Action Alerts Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2021 7:02 PM Subject: Australia is abandoning animals to horrific fates on live export ships -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The moment so many of you have been waiting for... The Independent Expert Panel for the Legal Definition of Ecocide convened by our foundation has completed its deliberations. The proposed definition of ecocide as a 5th crime under the Rome Statute is now available for states to consider - and for civil society to demand. We think the drafting panel has achieved something remarkable - we love this legal definition! It?s well pitched between what needs to be done to protect ecosystems and what will be acceptable to states - it?s both bold and workable at same time. Governments and activists alike will take it seriously. You can find the full text of the definition with accompanying commentary HERE and on the newly launched Ecocide Law website, an academic and legal resource hub we are co-managing with the Promise Institute for Human Rights at UCLA School of Law. There is also an additional FAQ page. Please read the definition, write about it, talk about it, and pressurise your elected representatives about it at all levels.

Message-ID: How to deal with climate crisis? Experts of Russian Social Ecological Union/FoE Russia in cooperation with Nordic partners have prepared climate infokit ? the set of information materials on various aspects of climate actions. This infokit contains materials on possible ways to solve the climate crisis. It includes five brochures, an analytical report and four annotated digests. These materials examine climate-friendly solutions in various sectors of human activity. Much attention is paid to the experience of the Nordic countries, which have made significant progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change. Since the climatic and natural conditions in these countries are similar to those in a large part of Russia, this experience is of particular interest. The materials are intended for a wide range of readers: environmental activists working in the field of global climate change, journalists, specialists from municipalities and the general public.

Add your name and pass this on: I'm standing with the Earth Defenders Half the Earth's forests are now gone. 15 BILLION trees are chopped down every year, decimating our planet's rainforests, jungles, and mangroves. This environmental devastation is intimately tied to the theft and destruction of ancient indigenous lands, and the horrific violence that comes with it. Defending the rights of indigenous communities is a must for a global community like ours -- but is also central to stopping ecological annihilation. Study after study has shown that their cultures and practices are most effective at protecting these precious, life-giving ecosystems. Combined, their ancestral lands are home to 80% of earth's biodiversity -- and they defend it with their lives. But if this new global biodiversity agreement comes to life, indigenous communities could have their land ownership formally recognised, giving them powerful legal protections and international backing. Let's make sure it happens!

The European commission has just said fossil gas could be excluded from major European funding. [1] This is huge. But it won?t be enough. We still need to move the European parliament to back the move. And time is running out - in just 3 weeks the EU Parliament?s energy committee will fix their position on funding fossil gas projects. The decision will shape our energy supply for decades to come. Fossil gas is a dangerous climate heating gas. It is not a transition fuel towards a cleaner future but a roadblock to real climate solutions. But the gas lobby has too much power. It actually gets to help decide which projects get funding in Europe. We now have a unique opportunity to push them back. We know that some members of the European parliament are already on our side. But we need a majority in the committee to have a chance at stopping gas once and for all. It?s time to tell our members of parliament to do the right thing and stop funding fossil gas.

Message-ID: <699F16129719459890608FB65EAB21D2@lewpostnew> This Canadian oil company thinks fossil fuel profits are worth possibly wiping out 130,000 elephants. Ask Namibia and Botswana to stop them! Sign Now The African elephant. The iconic creature is the number one largest animal that roams the globe alongside humans. And thanks to those humans, it's also one of the most endangered. We've developed the lands these elephants live on and feed from, robbing them of vital habitat and then killing them when they come too close to us, calling it "human-elephant conflict" even though the fault is entirely ours. That, coupled with a historic and horrific rise in ivory poaching in the 21st century, has driven African elephant populations down from millions to mere thousands. And now, at the most critical point in African elephant conservation, a Canadian oil company called ReconAfrica wants to take 34,000 square kilometers, or over 13,000 square miles, of elephant habitat in Africa and turn it into a desolate, poisonous oil field. The lives of 130,000 elephants hang in the balance. Noise, vibrations, and other disturbances from construction and exploratory work are known to terrify and drive away elephants, forcing them into unfamiliar, less suitable, and even dangerous territory. Not to mention oil projects like this almost guarantee leaks and spills that will poison water and soil for elephants and the entire ecosystem, including communities of people that depend on the land for sustenance and income. Sign the petition and ask that Namibia and Botswana protect these elephants, the lands of their people, and the environment as a whole by denying ReconAfrica permits for their oilfield! Thank you, Lauren The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. If permits for this oilfield in Namibia and Botswana are granted, it could be the tipping point for African elephants' extinction. Sign the petition. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Care2.com, Inc. 3141 Stevens Creek Blvd. #40394 San Jose, CA 95117 http://www.care2.com From: Lauren W., Care2 Action Alerts Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2021 7:02 PM Subject: Thousands of elephants??? lives hang in the balance, sign now! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Less than 800 Tapanuli orangutans are still alive and we don?t have much time to save them. Sign the petition The last known 800 Tapanuli orangutans on Earth face having their Indonesian forest home ripped from beneath them -- by a British company?s thirst for gold. Jardine Matheson and its gold mining company want to destroy this precious ecosystem in Batang Toru, Northern Sumatra out of pure greed -- driving the rarest great ape to extinction. Just in the past month, satellite images revealed a new expansion of the Martable Mine into the heart of orangutan territory. But if we act fast with a massive public campaign exposing Jardine Matheson, we can stop the mine?s expansion and protect the orangutans and their habitat before it?s too late. Tell Jardine Matheson to STOP expanding its mine into orangutan territory NOW. The Tapanuli orangutan, which is the rarest great ape in the world, was first documented by scientists in 2017. It?s the first great ape to be recorded for a century and it only lives in the Batang Toru Forest in Indonesia. Sadly, there are only 800 of the charismatic primates left. Unfortunately for the newly identified and already endangered great ape, its forest home sits on top of a rich seam of gold - which is currently being mined by a British company. Jardine Matheson has been run by the same British family, the Keswicks, since the Victorian era. It bought the Martabe gold mine in 2018 and has expanded it further into the habitat of the Tapanuli orangutan ever since. So far, the Martabe mine has already destroyed at least 30 ha of Tapanuli orangutan forest habitat -- an area of the Batang Toru forest equivalent to at least 42 football fields. If we don?t act now, scientists warn that the entire Tapanuli orangutan population could be decimated in less than 10 years. Tell Jardine Matheson to put the survival of the rarest great ape over its greed for gold. The survival of the Tapanuli orangutan truly is a test for humanity, but in reality it?s a simple one. All that Jardine Matheson needs to do is to halt any future expansion projects in Batang Toru and work with the International Union for Conservation of Nature on a plan to preserve the rarest great ape and its habitat. When SumOfUs members come together, we achieve wonders. In May 2015, we got together to tell Jardine Matheson and its luxury hotel subsidiary Mandarin Oriental to save and protect the Sumatran Elephant, and it listened to all of us. Today, an even greater threat is looming over the last Tapanuli orangutans and we must ramp up the pressure on Jardine Matheson to do the right thing once again. Tell Jardine Matheson to put the survival of the rarest great ape over its greed for gold.

Then local activists in South Korea saved them. Sign Now When local activists discovered more than 171 pups on a dog meat farm in South Korea, the scene was heartbreaking. Hundreds of sad, dejected animals looked out of sparse, empty metal cages where they'd been locked with insufficient food or water. Trapped alongside the dead bodies of other dogs who had passed away in the same cage with them, apparently from starving to death, these animals were suffering horrific trauma. Others were riddled with infections and diseases. Each dog was destined for death in one way or the other ? either through malnutrition and dehydration, or through intentional slaughter. But then, local animal lovers saved these pups and now they're on their way to recovery! Residents of South Korea have been speaking out against dog meat for a long time, but the country is still home to thousands of dog meat farms that raise and butcher approximately 2 million pups each year, partly to supply vendors at the annual Bok Nal festival for dog meat-eating. Most dogs who are butchered are killed through extremely brutal means ? primarily electrocution and hanging. While 171 of these dogs are now receiving expert veterinary care and attention, millions of others are not so lucky. All dogs deserve this kind of hope and happy ending. We have to fight for them! It's time for the South Korean government to listen to its people and crack down on the dog meat industry, now! Thank you, Miranda The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. People around the world are standing up against the dog meat trade, including in South Korea.

June 22, 2021. We are pleased to announce that CENN together with the partner organizations within the framework of the EU-supported Georgia Climate Program joined the EU Green Week 2021 and celebrated this event by organizing a large-scale campaign ? Act4Climate. The campaign aimed to raise awareness in the community, especially among young people, about climate change and simple daily actions to help reduce climate change and mitigate its negative effects. The large-scale Youth Campaign Act4Climate was held simultaneously on June 22, from 11:00 to 15:30, in four target municipalities - Ozurgeti, Chiatura, Ambrolauri, Akhmeta. Campaign participants had the opportunity to engage in cognitive and fun activities. The large-scale campaign included a thematic panel on climate change; a masterclass - New Life of Old Items led by Marie Bendeliani, the founder of 7R Georgia; a fun quiz on climate change; ?Climate Change Seen Through My Eyes? youth competition artwork exhibition, award ceremony for the winners of the competition; and a symbolic action of painting thematic street art on walls. ?Fight against Climate change and protection of the environment is our common responsibility. Any little action undertaken by any of us is just as important as the high-level multilateral negotiations taking place on this subject. Only through combining our efforts, and engaging all parts of the society, we will succeed in this common global fight. It is my great pleasure to be together with you today in the beautiful city of Ozurgeti to take part in this Act for Climate Campaign, and see the great initiatives you are undertaking to make our planet a better place to live,? - said Alexandre Darras, Team Leader on Connectivity, Energy, Environment & Climate. The campaign involved Young European Ambassadors, who shared their environmental activism experiences with campaign participants, introduced them to the activities of young European ambassadors, and provided information about the competitions and events they have planned. The event also featured thematic information stands, where attendees had the opportunity to learn about knowledge materials and informational brochures about youth opportunities and the activities of partner organizations. ?Act for Climate is a comprehensive campaign that aims to educate and empower youth and adults about the power of our daily choices and the huge impact these choices have on the climate change, health and wellbeing of both ourselves, and our planet. Such kind of social events raises awareness in all levels of society about the role of civil society in tackling climate change. We are glad that the event takes place simultaneously in four of the project?s target municipalities and involves the project partners, youth, eco-clubs, educational institutions, and local authorities and media representatives. This event is the beginning of our future collaborative action to tackle climate change,? ? noted Nino Tevzadze, Project Manager, CENN. The EU delegation to Georgia, representatives of local and regional governments, and project partner organizations will participate in the campaign. About EU Green Week Green Week is an annual worldwide event on sustainable development organized by the European Union. During the week, various types of events and thematic debates are held around specific topics. The theme for 2021 is zero pollution for healthy people and the planet. About the EU-supported Georgia Climate Program (GEO-CAP) With the support of the EU, in 2021 CENN launched the Georgia Climate Program (GEO-CAP). The project supports Georgia to act on climate change by introducing climate friendly behaviour and reinforcing cooperation and trust between state and non-state actors, strengthening regional CSOs via supporting the implementation of concrete initiatives together with local communities and empowering people to engage in advocacy processes that will result in collaborative climate actions in the target regions of the project. CENN will implement the GEO-CAP over the next 4 years together with partner organisations in 4 target regions (Guria, Imereti, Racha-Lechkhumi, and Kakheti) with the Human Rights-Based Approach approach. The European Union supported Georgia Climate Action Program (GEO-CAP) is implemented by CENN together with the Kakheti Regional Development Fund (KRDF), the Chiatura Union (ACU), the Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti Agrotourism Development Association (RLS-ADA), and the Young Pedagogue?s Union (YPU). The target municipalities of the project are Gurjaani, Sagarejo, Akhmeta, Zestaponi, Tkibuli, Chiatura, Lanchkhuti, Ozurgeti, Oni, and Ambrolauri. The total budget of the project is 1 million euros.

Avaaz is already in the centre of these critical talks -- so let?s build and deliver a deafening call demanding governments protect the lands of indigenous and traditional communities everywhere! Add your name and pass this on: I'm standing with the Earth Defenders Half the Earth's rainforests are now gone. 15 BILLION trees are chopped down every year, decimating our planet's rainforests, jungles, and mangroves. This environmental devastation is intimately tied to the theft and destruction of ancient indigenous lands, and the horrific violence that comes with it. Defending the rights of these communities is a must for a global movement like ours -- but is also central to stopping ecological annihilation. Combined, ancestral lands are home to 80% of the Earth's biodiversity and study after study has shown that their cultures and practices are most effective at protecting these precious, life-giving ecosystems, which in turn can help combat climate change. But if this new global biodiversity agreement puts indigenous and traditional community rights at its heart, it could be a gamechanger in the fight to save our living Earth. Let's make sure it happens! Add your name now -- Avaaz will deliver our voices inside the negotiations, standing with indigenous leaders from around the world: I'm standing with the Earth Defenders Our movement has stood up for Indigenous and traditional communities over and over again. From funding life-saving Covid equipment for people of the Amazon rainforest, to supporting the Maasai in Kenya, and helping indigenous leaders win huge legal battles in courts everywhere, our movement has shown up time and again. This is a golden opportunity to continue that tradition, helping to win this battle for the planet, and all the brave women and men defending it for future generations.
