Click now to help protect our bees from deadly chemicals Recent studies suggest that more than 40% of insect species are declining, a third are endangered -- and overall have an extinction rate eight times faster than that of mammals, birds and reptiles! These include the bumblebees, butterflies, beetles and other beautiful pollinators that sustain much of our food supply and delicate ecosystems. Protecting wildlife habitats remains a crucial part of the fight to stop the collapse of our insect populations, but it is equally important to tackle the flood of pesticides going into our fields, parks, and playgrounds -- 2.5 million tons every year! There is mounting evidence that agricultural chemicals not only cause water and soil pollution, they?re also deadly to bees and other pollinators. But now we have a massive opportunity in Europe to push a new, pesticide-free agricultural model that allows nature and farmers to thrive in harmony. Key EU lawmakers are ready to fight for the most ambitious deal ever to transform our food and farming systems, but they need all our support. Momentum is building to address the issue not only in Europe -- the UN just published a plan to drastically reduce pesticide use ahead of international negotiations later in the year. If we help win in Europe, more countries will follow, bringing us a step closer to saving our bees and pollinators from extinction, and help small, sustainable farmers to flourish. Join now, and share with everyone -- Avaaz and our partners will make sure our voices are heard in every important meeting ahead. Click now to help protect our bees from deadly chemicals Many Avaazers care deeply about bees and biodiversity. Over 2 million of us are calling on world leaders to protect half our planet and stop the extinction crisis, and with over 5 million signatures, our call to save the bees is one of the biggest in Avaaz history.

Dear reader, We've come to an inflection point here at SFB headquarters: plough on in the face of economic uncertainty or call it quits and move on to pastures new. In advance of such a tricky choice, we've decided to make one last call for patronage in a final bid for the publication to stand on its own feet financially. So if you get any value out of the service we provide, we hope you will consider becoming one of our sustaining patrons ? whether its enough for a monthly takeaway, a sandwich or even just a coffee, any little you can afford to spare would be so gratefully appreciated. In exchange, we pledge that if we cross the ?500/month-mark, we'll publish a new longread or photo essay every week along with the newsletter. And if we hit ?1000/month, we'll launch a new solutions-focused podcast. Of course, we'll keep you informed of our decision in the coming weeks. But whatever happens, we wish you a heartfelt thanks for your all your time and support so far! Ollie Founder & Editor-in-Chief, Struggles From Below Become an SFB Patron -------------------------------------------------- Large tree-planting initiatives often fail ? and some have even fuelled deforestation. In our top read this week, Vox's Benji Jones discovers there's a better way to restore forests. On 11 November 2019, volunteers planted 11 million trees in Turkey as part of a government-backed initiative called Breath for the Future. In one northern city, the tree-planting campaign set the Guinness World Record for the most saplings planted in one hour in a single location: 303,150. ?By planting millions of young trees, the nation is working to foster a new, lush green Turkey,? Turkey?s President, Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, said when he kicked off the project in Ankara. Less than three months later, up to 90% of the saplings were dead. The trees were planted at the wrong time and there wasn?t enough rainfall to support the saplings. In the past two decades, mass tree-planting campaigns like this one have gained popularity as a salve for many of our modern woes, from climate change to the extinction crisis. Companies and billionaires love these kinds of initiatives. So do politicians. Really, what?s not to like about trees? They suck up carbon emissions naturally while providing resources for wildlife and humans ? and they?re even nice to look at. It sounds like a win-win-win. There?s just one problem: These campaigns often don?t work, and sometimes they can even fuel deforestation. In one recent study in the journal Nature, for example, researchers examined long-term restoration efforts in northern India, a country that has invested huge amounts of money into planting over the last 50 years. The authors found ?no evidence? that planting offered substantial climate benefits or supported the livelihoods of local communities. The study is among the most comprehensive analyses of restoration projects to date, but it?s just one example in a litany of failed campaigns that call into question the value of big tree-planting initiatives. Often, the allure of bold targets obscures the challenges involved in seeing them through, and the underlying forces that destroy ecosystems in the first place. Instead of focusing on planting huge numbers of trees, we should focus on growing trees for the long haul, protecting and restoring ecosystems beyond just forests, and empowering the local communities that are best positioned to care for them.

The intention was to arrange follow-up meetings/seminars in different places but then the Corona pandemic broke out and the plans had to be postponed. However co-operation has been going on in different smaller circles and hopefully we can soon come up with some plans for personal meetings for those interested in stronger cooperation to influence the situation in the Baltic Sea region that has been even more militarized since 2018. Women for Peace in Finland published in 2017 a document about the Baltic Sea Militarization which is now updated and attached to this mail as pdf. It is very far from perfect but it shows that we have a lot to do if we want to turn the Baltic Sea into a Sea of peace - a more peaceful region based on negotiations, cooperation, demilitarization and respect for people and the environment. We will keep you informed about the plans for meetings/seminars.

Gray wolves need federal protection, NOW! Sign Now Nearly a year after gray wolves lost federal protections, as hunting season in many U.S. states begins, their fragile packs and populations across the country are in the fight for their lives. And the news coming out of these states is horrifying. These wolves are up against overzealous hunters, using horrific methods including "dogs, snares, and leg-hold traps." Two female wolf pups and a female yearling from Yellowstone's wolf pack have been slaughtered. Wisconsin has approved a gray wolf kill quota of 300 innocent wolves, "more than double the quota of 130 determined by the Department of Natural Resources." This number is so egregious, in fact, that six of the state's Native American tribes are suing Wisconsin. All of this horrific news is just the beginning, as wolf hunting season has been allowed to start even after the USFWS issued a report admitting that these animals may actually still need federal protection. For them to be considering solid, overwhelming evidence that wolf populations cannot survive if they are hunted too aggressively while still allowing hunting season to begin is a bloody double standard ? one that could force wolves into extinction forever. Tell the USFWS to stop dragging their feet, listen to the evidence, and stop the murder. Sign the petition if you want to see gray wolves relisted under the Endangered Species Act! Thank you, Lauren The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. It's been almost a year since gray wolves were delisted from the Endangered Species Act, and far too many of them have been brutally slaughtered.

The European Citizens? Initiative (ECI) ?Save Bees and Farmers!? ended at midnight last Thursday with well over a MILLION votes -- and that's not even counting signatures still to be collated from paper signup sheets. Bayer/Monsanto and their pack of pesticide-making buddies won't be happy with this result, but this email isn?t about them. It?s about remembering our power. You see, most ECI petitions fail to hit the 1-million signatures minimum required by the EU. And frankly, only a few months ago I thought this one was a lost cause, too. I?m so glad you proved me wrong! We had a massive surge in signatures right at the end, thanks to you. Many people only found the ECI webpage thanks to the online ads that SumOfUs members like you funded. Because of strict privacy rules we can't tell if you signed, but either way, you helped the coalition get to a whopping 1,161,256 signatures by midnight last Thursday. So THANKS A MILLION! Once the ECI is validated by the European Commission, both the Commission and the European Parliament will have to respond -- but that won?t be for months. In the meantime, there?s still plenty we can do against the pesticide lobby, but only if we hold together. This win showed the chemical giants what the SumOfUs community can do.

The U.S.'s largest woodpecker, the ivory-billed woodpecker, as well as Bachman's warbler, eight species of freshwater mussels, two species of fish, one species of fruit bat, and more have all crossed the veil into the Other Side, permanently. Worse still, scientists fear many more endangered species could be about to follow in these same ghostly, vanishing footsteps. These 23 species represent what scientists who spoke to The Washington Post are calling "an accelerating rate of extinction" across the globe. And it's no mystery why this acceleration is occurring, or why these particular species went extinct. This is all unambiguously due to habitat loss and climate change. These 23 species are essentially the wild versions of a canary in a coal mine. With their silence, they are signaling the start of a terrifying new era of rapid extinctions, which is rushing right at us. We must heed their now-quiet call.

Will you commit today to join me for 24 Hours of Reality: Let?s Get Real, a global day of action, on October 29? YES ABSOLUTELY! Real action at COP 26 and beyond means: a.. Concrete plans for actual and immediate reductions of greenhouse gas emissions. b.. A just transition from coal and gas to clean energy. c.. Restorative justice in financing solutions. How can you participate on October 29? As part of 24 Hours of Reality: Let?s Get Real, we?ll share numerous ways you can help push our leaders to take real action on climate, both on October 29 and beyond. Together, we can make this a turning point in our fight to stop global warming and create a truly equitable and sustainable future for all of us. Will you commit to joining us today? COUNT ME IN!

While the European Commission is on board, many EU countries are dragging their feet - but the gas price crisis changes everything. EU environment ministers are having an emergency meeting tomorrow. Sign to make them take action! Sign Now Hi, Images of floods and fires destroying houses and taking lives in the past few months are still fresh in our minds. Climate change is behind these meteorological extremes. Making homes more energy efficient is amongst the most effective ways to stop climate change. Over a third of global emissions are caused by buildings. Keeping our homes warm, or cool, uses a lot of energy. Without proper insulation loads of energy is wasted. Considering 70% of European buildings are energy inefficient, this is a big problem. We need a home renovation revolution, now. Our governments need to see the link between energy efficient homes, independence from fossil fuels and an end to floods-and-fires-inducing climate change. That?s precisely what the European Commission is proposing, but EU governments are playing deaf, because they have other priorities. But the energy price crisis is forcing them to pay attention. Ministers for the environment from all over the EU will gather tomorrow. Our community of hundreds of thousands of people has the power to make enough noise to have them listen to our message: we want an ambitious home renovation revolution, one that prioritises people in need. Are you in? SIGN NOW WeMove Europe is thinking about running this campaign but we need your help in deciding whether we recommend it to the rest of the WeMove Europe community. All we need to know from you is this: if you care about this issue, please sign and forward the petition to your friends. It takes one minute and as a valued member of our community, we really want to know what you think!

Hi, Agricultural giants could change the future of our food forever. They are fencing off our natural world for their own profit by claiming ownership of dozens of crops ? like the barley used to make beer. All because a few loopholes in European law are ripe for exploitation. [1] Today, access to seeds means any farmer can grow the food we need. But if these plans go ahead, agricultural giants will open the flood gates to stealing away something no one should own ? our natural world. They?ll control who can grow and the costs ? destroying the futures of thousands of family farmers. [2] If this isn't on the agenda when officials meet in two weeks, our chance to close these dangerous loopholes could pass by. But the good news is: we knew this would happen and we?re prepared to act. To do that, we?ll have to make a big splash. So, imagine this. Our partners deliver crops of barley they?ve grown across European farms this year to the meeting ? showing how many depend on the seeds. It causes a stir in the meeting as the officials discuss the stunt. Then, a video explaining the growth and importance of these seeds goes online. Adverts ensure it features all over social media. We can dominate workplace conversations for weeks. The officials won?t be able to avoid it, resolving loopholes will be back on the agenda. How about it, are you in? If we are going to ensure these loopholes are closed, we need the resources to act fast. Donate ?5 Donate ?10 Donate ?20 Donate another amount When in May 2020 the European Patent Office accepted that conventionally-bred plants are not for anyone to own, it was a big step forward. [3] But the agricultural giants haven?t given up the fight to take control of our food. Back then, we won because we showed the true scale of opposition, working with our partners at No Patents on Seeds. Now, as the danger of loopholes has flown under the radar, they?re asking for our help in launching it onto the agenda. As a small dedicated group, they know they can?t meet this moment alone. Luckily, we are a community of over a million people who never shy away from meeting moments like this head-on. We?ve worked out the costs, and need ?16,148 to pull this off. With that money we can fund: 1.. Hiring a videographer to capture the delivery stunt in person as well as interview those affected. 2.. Producing a short video with the footage and advertising it all over the internet in these weeks, connecting with as many employees as possible at the office with the power to make this decision. 3.. Reaching out to top European media outlets to secure coverage on the issue and increase the voices pressuring decision-makers. There?s no doubt about it, the agricultural giants have deep pockets. You can bet they?ll be pouring those resources into this fight. But, if we move together we can make great things happen. If every one of us who reads this right now gives just a little, we could match them blow for blow.

Today, she's an environment and climate crisis expert with a Ph.D. And she's terrified about what is happening in her Tibetan homeland, where ice is melting 3x faster than anywhere else on the planet. As home to a glacier that provides water for 1 in every 5 people on Earth...we should all be terrified. Lobsang wants to sound the alarm at the critical COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, just weeks away. But the high cost of attending means she and other front-line activists and experts are being shut out completely -- leaving the fossil fuel lobby to control the narrative and stop real action. We can change that -- if thousands of us chip in, our community can send Lobsang to meet our leaders...and fund campaigning for real impact at the conference. Can you chip in to help? If you?ve saved your payment information with SumOfUs, your donation will go through immediately: Donate $3 now Donate another amount The world?s biggest oil and gas companies will descend on COP26 in an all-out offensive to protect their profits. Their plan is to lobby countries to invest in gas as a path forward instead of actual clean energy. And if they succeed, it will mean we continue down the catastrophic pathway to 2.7-degrees of heating. Imagine what it would mean for the next generation. The good news is we know what we have to do to win: center the stories of those on the front lines of climate disaster to show world leaders that the cost of inaction is just too high. But a combination of travel costs, visa complexities, and new covid restrictions requiring vaccinated people from South America, India, and Africa to quarantine means that the people we most need at the table won?t be there. Unless our community steps in. Lobsang knows exactly what is happening to the environment in Tibet and has witnessed firsthand the impact of the climate crisis in this fragile and vital land. If we?re going to have a shot at taking on the massive oil and gas lobby, we need voices like Lobsang?s at COP26. Can you give just a small amount to send Lobsang and her team to Glasgow? If you?ve saved your payment information with SumOfUs, your donation will go through immediately: Donate $3 now Donate another amount The threats we face are a matter of life or death. If we don?t slam the brakes on runaway climate change, our future is extreme weather, food shortages, and millions displaced. The next few months will decide if we succeed or fail, but to win we need to center the voices of the communities with everything at stake. The SumOfUs community has come together time and time again to stand in solidarity with communities risking everything to change the world -- from the Indigenous peoples of the Amazon to Bangladeshi labor organizers to communities across the globe taking on corporate power.

Sign Now For decades, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife ? formerly known as the California Department of Fish and Game ? has been stocking many of the state's natural waterways with invasive fish species, including largemouth bass which are notorious for causing "the decline, displacement or extinctions of species'' in habitats where they are introduced. The reason these fish are being given free rein to takeover? Purely sport. Sign the petition if you want to see the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) stop stocking invasive fish species! In the United States, largemouth bass are native to the eastern and central parts of the country. But because they are very popular with anglers, or fishers, they have been widely introduced elsewhere. And they thrive ? but to the detriment of native fish, competing for food sources, habitat, and sometimes even preying upon them. Largemouth bass are extremely successful breeders and eaters ? they are basically unstoppable. Bottom line: successful sport for human pleasure is not worth jeopardizing the health of our environment. The invasive fish, introduced for human enjoyment and gain, are stealing resources and space from native species so much so that they are driving them towards extinction. Sign the petition if you want to see local, sustainable fishing supported in California as opposed to harmful, invasive stocking methods! Thank you, Kelsey The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. While fishing can be a sustainable, harmonious way to enjoy and connect with nature, this is not the way.

He's consistently put Facebook's profits ahead of truth, safety, health and democracy. It's time for Facebook to fire Mark Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg proudly decided to let politicians and "VIPs" lie on Facebook without any consequences, which undermined trust in the democratic process. He let political and military leaders use Facebook to encourage hatred against women, people of color and religious minorities, which resulted in real-life harms and human rights violations. He let conspiracy theories about COVID-19 vaccines spread so quickly on Facebook that they outpace true health information that could save people's lives.

In advance of such a tricky choice, we've decided to make one last call for patronage in a final bid for the publication to stand on its own feet financially. So if you get any value out of the service we provide, we hope you will consider becoming one of our sustaining patrons ? whether its enough for a monthly takeaway, a sandwich or even just a coffee, any little you can afford to spare would be so gratefully appreciated. In exchange, we pledge that if we cross the ?500/month-mark, we'll publish a new longread or photo essay every week along with the newsletter. And if we hit ?1000/month, we'll launch a new solutions-focused podcast. Of course, we'll keep you informed of our decision in the coming weeks. But whatever happens, we wish you a heartfelt thanks for your all your time and support so far! Ollie Founder & Editor-in-Chief, Struggles From Below Become an SFB Patron -------------------------------------------------- In our latest feature, Peter Yeung explores a new generation of sleeper cars and short-haul routes that are helping European railways compete against discount airlines. In the 1920s and 30s, long-distance train rides were the norm across Europe, according to Mark Smith, also known as the Man in Seat 61. The luxurious Orient Express, gliding its way along a picturesque route from London to Istanbul, is just one example of how journeys by rail were ?both pleasurable and practical,? he says. But with the emergence of low-cost, short-haul flights, that all began to change. Since 1950, global air traffic has increased 300-fold and, until the pandemic, aviation was one of the world?s fastest growing sources of CO2 emissions. ?At some point, it became completely normal to fly to a different country just for the weekend,? says Smith, whose legendary website has grown since 2001 to become the leading resource for train travel across the world. ?But that?s beginning to change and people are realising that it?s not so normal.? As the reality of climate change becomes ever more stark and the simple comfort and ease of rail travel becomes more attractive, there is growing evidence that citizens, companies and governments in Europe are getting on board with trains as a better way to travel. In April, the French government voted to ban short-haul domestic flights where alternatives by train exist. Research by French consumer group UFC-Que Choisir had found that planes emit 77 times more CO2 per passenger than trains on journeys lasting under four hours. Experts say the combination of climate change and the pandemic has also caused a significant shift in consumer demand. A study by Cardiff University found that 47% of UK travellers, now more appreciative of nature and attuned to a slower pace of life, plan to fly less after the pandemic. ?It?s not just climate change,? says Smith, citing increased airport restrictions after 9/11. ?Travellers also want to change the experience. They are fed up with the airport and airline experience and they want to cut carbon emissions. Many are finding that you don?t have to suffer to save the planet ? it?s pleasurable to take the train.?

Caught between their homes and the booming palm oil industry, orangutans are being burnt to death and starved as the forests where they live are razed to the ground. All this is done so farmers can make room for thousands of miles and miles and miles of oil palm trees ? in order to stock our grocery shelves and feed our cravings. Palm oil is in approximately half of all products sold in supermarkets. It's in everything from cooking oils and margarine, to pizza and ice cream, to even soap. It's also increasingly being used as a supposedly "eco-friendly" alternative to fossil fuels ? but there is nothing eco-friendly about it. In fact, every time a farmer sets fire to the rainforest and underlying peatlands in Borneo, it destroys one of the world's largest natural carbon sinks, while also murdering some of our closest genetic cousins.

On October 8, the EU-supported Caucasus Social Innovation Grant Competition award ceremony took place at Rooms Hotel Tbilisi. The event was opened by Nino Samvelidze, Youth Programme Manager at the Delegation of the European Union to Georgia. Followed by Nana Janashia, CENN Executive Director; Iza Bekauri, KRDF Director and Nune Sarukhanyan, President of Green Lane NGO in Armenia. Caucasus Social Innovation Grant Competition is organised as part of the EU-supported project "EU4Youth: Social Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Development (SEED) for Green Growth?. The project aims to fund outstanding social and green business ideas in the border regions of Georgia and Armenia. A total of 27 youth social and green business ideas were supported from the two South Caucasus countries.

Message-ID: Facebook?s supposed watchdog just let execs off the hook. That?s not good enough Facebook?s supposed watchdog just let execs off the hook for lying to them. That?s not good enough for a body designed to protect us, the users -- tell the Facebook Oversight Board to resign if Facebook doesn?t release the research! Sign the petition The Wall Street Journal and whistleblower Frances Haugen just exposed secret Facebook research into the harm caused by the platform. Mark Zuckerberg chose to straight-up ignore that research because it was bad for business. But instead of coming down hard, Facebook?s ?oversight board? issued a cop-out response, and made it clear that company execs aren?t even honest with them. How can they oversee Facebook if they?re constantly lied to? This board was set up to protect Facebook?s users -- you and me. It?s time we speak up and demand they stop giving Facebook executives cover for their unwillingness to clean up the site. Tell the Oversight Board: Resign if Facebook doesn?t release the research! Let?s tell the Oversight Board that we need them to speak for us. They need to resign if Facebooks refuses to make a full public disclosure of the internal research on Facebook harms and stop providing cover for Facebook. With a huge public outcry we can get answers and act on them. Facebook Oversight Board members are ?outside experts and civic leaders? from around the world. While the Board was supposed to get a grip on Facebook's biggest problems, the Board only considers a tiny percentage of submitted cases (20 out of 500,000) -- and those cases are only raised after Facebook has ruled on them. This means Facebook?s decisions to ignore dangerous content - anti-vax, various harms to children, complicity in human trafficking are not even considered. The Oversight Board?s response to the current news does not even mention any of the new revelations except the ?Cross Check? exemptions for the rich and powerful, not us and our kids. The members of the Oversight Board, paid for by Facebook, claim independence and a commitment to transparency but its response to all we are learning sure doesn?t look like it. It?s time for them to stand up for us, not Facebook: Send a message to the Facebook Oversight Board!

To: ICOMOS UNESCO International Council on Monuments and Sites We, citizens of the Russian Federation, citizens of the world, demand: 1. Inclusion of St. George?s Cathedral in the lists of world heritage sites as part of the Kremlin of the city of Yuryev-Polsky, Vladimir region of Russia; 2. Conducting an international examination of the decisions of the Restoration Project, carried out by the Central Scientific Restoration Design Workshops in 2019-2021, and suspension of the restoration works on this object. In the Vladimir region there is a small town Yuryev-Polsky; Polsky ? because it is the center of ancient Opolye, and Yuryev ? because it was founded in 1152 by Prince Yuri Dolgorukiy. This is one of the oldest towns in Russia. The main advantage of the town is that an absolutely unique monument has been preserved on the territory of its Kremlin ? the white-stone St. George Cathedral of the 13th century. This is one of the treasures of Russian culture, which, along with the "Trinity" of Andrei Rublev and St. Basil Cathedral in Moscow, is one of the main symbols of Russia. Its importance has always been great. The cathedral is absolutely unique in its artistic merit: thematic and decorative carvings on white stone cover its walls from the base to the dome. It is a pearl not only of Russian, but also of world architecture and monumental art. There is no second such. The technical condition of the cathedral is very poor. Deformations occur, caused by changes in the base of the foundations, the walls are wet to a height of two meters, caused by the capillary rise of saline waters, destroying the white stone and carving together with the frost. The humidity inside the building is one hundred percent: the floors are wet and the steam is generated from breathing. The restoration work carried out in 2008 and then 2015 did not improve the situation, but rather only caused harm. Now, in 2019-2021, a project has been developed for revising the old restoration project on the previous principles (the project of the Central Scientific Restoration Production Workshops, director S.B. Kulikov, chief architect I.V.Kalugina, author-architect D.E. Yakovlev; tender for a project, assignment for design and acceptance of works ? by the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation). This project is executed at an extremely low level and contains solutions that can catastrophically accelerate the destructive processes at the monument ? in a few years, Russia may lose its priceless relic forever. The project does not solve the problem of soaking and destruction of the walls of the cathedral from groundwater, from flooding of the foundations. The project proposes to heat the cathedral, which has never been heated for eight hundred years. The project proposes to grout the lost fragments of the carving with mortar, which will violate the authenticity of the monument. Leading qualified architects-restorers, engineers, archaeologists, and historians of architecture made comments on the project on the Acts of its state historical and cultural expertise, but they were not taken into account, and the final design documentation was never fully published and provided for review and criticism. The signatories demand that the St. George Cathedral be included in the World Heritage List, given its high quality, and require an international examination of restoration design solutions. ????????? ????? ?????? ??????? ?? ???????? ??????? ?? ?hange.?rg ????????? ? ??????? ???? ??????????? ??????? ??? ?????. ? ??? ?? ?? ?????? ????????? ???????? ??????? ????? ?????? ???????

Sign Now Utah's Great Salt Lake is a wonder to behold ? it is the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere and the largest natural lake west of the Mississippi river. But it's not long for this world ? the Great Salt Lake is literally drying up, due to a combination of climate change and over-diversion of water from the lake for consumption, farming, and other human activities. Sign the petition to ask Salt Lake City Officials to prevent the Great Salt Lake from drying up! Utah's soil is high in arsenic, and this toxic compound is picked up by tributaries and carried to settle in the lake. Normally, the water keeps it from going anywhere, but now that it's drying up the arsenic is going into people's lungs. The lake drying up also has deadly effects on the animals and organisms that depend on it, especially birds that feed on the creatures that live there. To top it all off, the Great Salt Lake contributes close to $1.3 billion dollars to the stat's economy ? money that would dry up with the lake. We know how to solve this problem from other area facing it: it's a combination of climate change stopping policies and educational campaigns, a change in water diversion practices and deterrents to over consumption of water from the lake. Sign the petition to demand Salt Lake City officials save this incredible landmarks before it's too late! Thank you, Kelsey The Care2 Petitions Team P.S.

Far right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro says it's his "dream" to crack open the Amazon. And he's pushing legislation to make his dream come true -- opening the rainforest to out-of-control mining and expelling Indigenous peoples from their ancestral lands to make it happen. These hideous bills could be voted on any day now -- we need an urgent, all-out push to stop him. That means polling to put pressure on key politicians, generating national and international media coverage, and backing the Indigenous organizations on the front lines to stop this dangerous legislation in its tracks. And it means we're counting on you, Will you chip in today to save the Amazon and its people? If you?ve saved your payment information with SumOfUs, your donation will go through immediately: Donate $3 now Donate another amount If we can't stop these bills from passing, we'll see the Amazon divvied up and parceled out to the highest bidders in the mining, logging, and big agriculture industries -- a disaster for our planet's climate and biodiversity. And we'll see the erasure of Indigenous peoples across the Brazilian Amazon, including isolated peoples that have never come into contact with outsiders. This is the corporate free-for-all future that Bolsonaro desperately desires, but together, we can still stop it from coming to pass. When you chip in $2 today, you'll fund a campaign with the power to stand up to Bolsonaro, his allies in Congress, and the greedy corporations that back them.

Message-ID: <996A9C3F7E324A6EA6F558538DFAF22A@lewpostnew> UN Climate Change ?Global Climate Action 13 October 2021 High Level Climate Champions Newsletter Exponential Energy The challenge for COP26 - to set the world on track to halve emissions and build resilience within the 2020s - may be staggering. But throughout history, exponential change has made the impossible suddenly possible - and it continues to do so now. For evidence of this, look at the transformation underway in the energy sector, across national and local governments, finance, energy producers and energy users. In 2020, renewable energy sources grew rapidly and electric vehicle sales set new records - even under the economic weight of Covid-19 lockdowns, the International Energy Agency said today in its World Energy Outlook 2021. ?The stubbornness of status quo? still stands in the way of the IEA?s pathway to net zero emissions by 2050, it added, with a large rebound in coal and oil use this year. But the goal is still in our reach, and the mindset is changing exponentially. China committed in September to stop building new coal-fired power plants overseas and increase its support for clean, sustainable development in poorer countries. Soon after, the state-owned Bank of China announced it would end financing for new coal mining and coal-fired power projects overseas from October. Remember, this comes only a year after China committed to reach net zero emissions by 2060. This is what turning commitment into practice is all about. China?s move facilitates the cancellation of more than 40 gigawatts of coal power in 20 countries, according to E3G and Ember. The global list of proposed coal power projects has already shrunk by three-quarters since we clinched the Paris Agreement in 2015. Now the push to phase out fossil fuels is spreading to oil and gas. The Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance, announced by Costa Rica and Denmark and launching at COP26, commits national and subnational governments to end new domestic oil and gas exploration and extraction and gradually end their existing production. The Global Methane Pledge commits countries to cut global methane emissions by at least 30 per cent by 2030, with the European Union, Argentina, Ghana, Indonesia, Iraq, Italy, Mexico, UK and US already signed up. The clean energy transition will create jobs - potentially 13 million more by 2030, the IEA said, but those jobs won?t always be in the same communities or professions that are seeing jobs decline as a result. Managing the exit from coal, for example, requires governments and financial institutions to allow for the reclamation and repurposing of land and to maximize the opportunities for decent, high-quality jobs in affected communities, it said. The Energy Breakthrough The clean power sector hit an important breakthrough last month, with more than 20 per cent of major utilities by revenue joining the UN-backed Race to Zero. That means they commit to halving emissions by 2030 and reaching net zero by 2050. These include Engie, E.On, Kenya Electricity Generating Company, National Grid, ReNew Power, RWE, Vattenfall and Vistra. Vattenfall also strengthened its targets to cut its emissions intensity by 77 per cent (rather than 40 per cent) by 2030 and reach net zero by 2040 (rather than 2050). The Swedish company did this as part of the Science Based Targets Initiative, which in July raised its target to align with limiting warming to 1.5?C. SSE, another Race to Zero member, is also inviting people to sign a call for ambitious climate action at COP26, which will be listed on the world?s largest future offshore wind farm at Dogger Bank in the UK North Sea. Big sectors including finance, transport and industry are following suit, and spurring further change. In finance, Africa?s biggest bank, FirstRand in South Africa, said it would immediately end funding for new coal-fired power plants and halt finance for coal mining over the next five years. Canadian pension fund CDPQ has said it will divest from oil production by the end of 2022 and put C$10 billion into decarbonizing industrial sectors. The Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero is aligning the full breadth of the financial sector behind halving emissions this decade and reaching net zero by 2050. In road transport, recently Rolls-Royce said it will only produce electric vehicles by 2030, Toyota is investing around US$13.6 billion in battery technology over the next decade, and Volvo has secured its largest order for electric trucks, for 100 in northern Europe. And in mining, Fortescue Metals Group aims to decarbonize its indirect emissions by 2040, using green hydrogen to produce iron ore and steel. These are some of the six changes that governments and the private sector can make in the 2020s to get the world on track for a 1.5?C limit, according to the Energy Transition Commission: a rapid reduction of methane emissions; decarbonizing power and accelerating the coal phaseout; quickening transport electrification. Other steps include halting deforestation and beginning reforestation; decarbonizing buildings, heavy industry and heavy transport; and reinvigorating energy and resource efficiency. The COP26 in Glasgow, just three weeks away, is an opportunity for national governments as well as cities, regions, businesses, investors and civil society to join forces in driving exponential growth towards these six changes.

Is. Huge. Yesterday, almost 800 workers at Amazon and Google joined forces to demand their employers pull out of Project Nimbus ? a $1.2 billion contract to provide cloud services for the Israeli military and government ? and cut all ties with the Israeli military. The courageous workers at every level of Amazon and Google are making it very clear that technology should be used to bring people together, not enable apartheid and violence. They deserve our support. Click here to send an email to Amazon and Google execs & let them know that there?s still time to do the right thing: Cut Project Nimbus, and stop doing business with Israel?s apartheid government. Project Nimbus is designed to make the Israeli military that carries out atrocities in Gaza ? and the government that carries out the daily business of apartheid ? more oppressive and deadly for Palestinians. That?s not hyperbole. Under Project Nimbus, the technology and infrastructure provided by Google and Amazon may make the data-powered surveillance of Palestinians more state-of-the-art. In addition, this cloud tech may build data capacity for the Israel Land Authority (ILA), the Israeli government agency that manages the expansion of illegal settlements and confines and segregates Palestinian communities. Both Amazon and Google pay lip service to having human rights commitments. Let them know that facilitating apartheid is unacceptable. Google and Amazon execs signed the Project Nimbus contract this past May as the Israeli military leveled entire residential buildings1 and clinics2 in Gaza, and threatened to push Palestinian families out of their homes in Jerusalem.3 We?ve seen this kind of thing before from Big Tech, though this is one of the more flagrant examples. Just one example is ICE and police departments around the United States, who have used their data-maintenance contracts with Amazon to expand the immoral deportation machine and manage the surveillance of marginalized communities. But we?ve also seen ordinary people and workers fight back against awful Big Tech contracts like this and win before ? and there?s every reason to believe we can make Amazon and Google executives listen to those calling on them to be on the right side of history. Following in the footsteps of those who fought for divestment from apartheid South Africa and won, it?s our responsibility to say no to Amazon and Google?s powering of state violence. We know that, together, we can win, too. Let us know you?re on the side of workers and Palestinian liberation. With one click, email Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Amazon CEO Andy Jassy. Let?s declare together: #NoTechForApartheid. Thank you for everything that you do to further justice.

Hi, Following the momentous pledge of China1 two weeks ago saying that it will stop building and financing coal plant projects overseas, here?s another good news that you need to know. The Go Clean ICBC coalition2 ? a global network of civil society organizations and concerned individuals opposing the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China?s (ICBC) coal finance ? with an amazingly renewed energy from people power around the world, ramps up its work to stop all of ICBC?s coal investments. As such, we?d like to invite you to join yet another historic fight against fossil fuel finance. Are you in? Yes, count me in ICBC is the world?s biggest bank, and it?s also the biggest in financing massive coal power projects in Africa and Asia. In just two years ? from October 2018 to October 2020 ? ICBC channelled US$40 billion to the coal industry. If ICBC?s coal financing continues, these projects will destroy fragile ecosystems, cause societal harm to communities, and contribute to millions of premature deaths caused by air pollution. We must ensure that banks like ICBC cannot push forward dirty and unsustainable energy plans. ICBC must live up to its pledge3 to double its renewable energy investment overseas with a clear roadmap and timetable for coal phase-out. For ICBC to honour its public commitments and harness its potential to become a climate leader, it needs to immediately stop all its financing to dangerous coal. Now, as we wait for ICBC to declare alignment with the Chinese government?s pledge, let?s continue building power and pushing ICBC to be on the right side of history. Join the growing movement demanding ICBC to make a clean break from coal. Onwards, Jenny on behalf of the Go Clean ICBC coalition References 1] China?s coal declaration is a win for the climate movement 2] Go Clean ICBC global coalition 3] ICBC Chief Economist, Zhou Yueqiu announcing to double the balance of renewable energy investment and financing at the end of 2030 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 350.org is building a global climate movement.

The U.S. nuclear weapons program isn?t in the news much, which is a shame given how expensive and extremely dangerous it is. For a sense of just how costly -- and who benefits the most -- read the summary of a report authored by William Hartung, director of the Arms and Security Program at the Center for International Policy. Progressives watching the reconciliation debate in Congress were somewhat surprised that the issue of funding Israel?s Iron Dome missile defense system came up forcefully. The vast majority of Democrats -- and all Democratic senators -- voted for including the additional funding. But Bernie Sanders got something in return for his vote: more aid for the long-suffering residents of the Gaza Strip. Was it worth it? Read a cogent analysis here. We?d love to get your opinion. The drama of the two big spending bills currently before Congress isn?t over. But something historic is happening. The Congressional Progressive Caucus has been using its power to keep those bills together as a unified package, while conservative Democrats (aka Senators Manchin and Sinema) are getting enormous heat as spoilers. It?s an unusual position for the U.S. parliamentary left, and a piece on Progressive Hub offers important insights. Pat Elder of MilitaryPoisons.org has written a remarkable article about newly released Department of Defense figures on pollution from military bases. We?re talking about PFAS contamination, a class of chemicals that takes a long time to break down and interacts organically with animals, crops, and humans. The scale of military pollution ought to scare anyone -- but especially the many people who live near the 95 installations covered in the report.

But we can get him booted off the program. Tell UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson not to give mining giant Adani a platform! Sign the petition We?ve received a tip that coal baron Gautam Adani is trying to elbow his way in and secure a primetime speaking spot at the upcoming UN climate summit. The COP summit is a place for world leaders, experts and representatives from the frontlines of the climate crisis to come together and work on solutions. The people who should be centre stage are those fighting for climate justice -- not a billionaire businessman who wants to open up one of the biggest new coal mines in the world. As host of the summit, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, has final say on who gets a speaking spot. Adani is throwing his weight around, but if enough of us turn up the pressure on Johnson we can get him booted off the program. will you add your name and tell Boris Johnson that the COP summit should be for climate solutions, not corporate greenwash? Our source tells us that Adani has already talked his way onto the speakers list at the Global Investment Summit in the UK next week, a summit meant to encourage renewable energy investments. If Adani gets his way, he?ll have two opportunities to have the undivided attention of investors and world leaders where he can greenwash his corporation and distract everyone from the billions he?s pouring into fossil fuel projects. It?s no wonder he?s going on a reputation rehab tour. Because Adani?s track record is terrible: a.. The Adani Group was responsible for a coal ship sinking off the coast of Mumbai that devastated beaches, marine life and the livelihoods of locals working in tourism. b.. Adani?s Godda coal power station in India will displace thousands of Indigenous Adivasi people, and has already resulted in villages, crops and burial sites being destroyed. c.. The Adani Group has given millions to a Myanmar military-controlled corporation accused of human rights violations. d.. And most notoriously of all, the Adani Group is trying to build one of the biggest new coal mines in the world. The Carmichael mine in northern Australia does not have the consent of the Wangan and Jagalingou Cultural Custodians and would send coal-laden ships right through the Great Barrier Reef. The UK Government should be giving speaking platforms to people like the Pacific Climate Warriors who are travelling to the UK to stand up against the fossil fuel industry. We cannot let billionaire businessman Adani get away with using his wealth and status to cosy up to Boris Johnson. Add your name to the petition! Adani was meant to start shipping coal from the Carmichael mine years ago. But the coal mine still isn?t operational because of the Wangan and Jagalingou people, the Adivasi people, and thousands of SumOfUs members like you, standing up to the mining giant and convincing over 100 companies not to invest in or work with Adani. So now Adani is desperately scrambling for platforms to greenwash his business to try and fix his crumbling reputation. But not if tens of thousands of SumOfUs members like you speak up and expose Adani?s unscrupulous scheming to charm Prime Minister Johnson, and force the UK Government to ban the coal baron from the investor and climate summits.

Sign Now Cocoa production is one of the most dangerous forms of child labor. While working long hours on cocoa farms in West Africa ? usually from sun up to sun down ? young children are exposed to dozens of different toxic pesticides and expected to use machetes and other dangerous equipment, and even to carry around hundreds of pounds of bean pods. Many of these exploited children are forced into this work because of poverty, and as a result, do not attend school and often go many months without seeing their family. And even though major chocolate producers claim otherwise, investigative journalism proves these corporations continue to rely on dangerous and exploitative child labor. As Halloween approaches, it is more important than ever that we demand these highly profitable companies stop relying on child slavery to make their chocolate. These corporations are about to make millions of dollars in seasonal candy sales. In 2020 alone, Hershey's made 3.7 billion dollars in profit. How much of that money was made off of the backs of children? It is up to us to put pressure on these companies and tell them: we will not buy chocolate made from child slaves! Sign the petition to demand that Hersey's, Nestl??, and Mars finally and truly end the inhumane use of child labor now! Thank you for all that you do, Miranda The Care2 Petitions Team P.S.

At the UN Climate talks, we need the world's richest countries to step up their climate finance game right now. Hi, My name is Cans?n, I?m a 350.org team member, and I?m getting ready to travel to Glasgow in Scotland for the 26th UN Climate Summit at the end of October. This journey has taken longer than usual to start, because the crucial climate talks were postponed last year as the pandemic raged across the world. But the climate movement is ready to step up and be heard. I hope you?ll join me on this journey through the climate summit. We?ll be sharing on the ground updates from the climate movement?s push for justice in this complex process, as well as ways you can support the fight to stay below 1.5 degrees, no matter where you are in the world. Today, we?re sending a message to leaders of the US, UK and EU to fund a just transition everywhere. Sign the petition now and jump on this action train to Glasgow and beyond. Right now - in the midst of unfathomable climate disasters ? the fossil fuel industry is on track to have a record-profit year [1]. I have grieved over the climate impacts we have seen for years around the world. But this year, it was different. The climate crisis was knocking on my doorstep as hundreds of wildfires raged across my home country in Turkey. Climate impacts will not simply go away. And we will not back down from the fossil fuel industry that is causing them. Why are we travelling when the pandemic is still going on? Because it?s particularly important for less powerful countries who are most impacted by climate change to band together in person at the climate talks to get their voices heard. All too often these voices get sidelined or silenced in global decision-making spaces ? and we cannot let this happen here. We?re travelling to Glasgow with the mission to bring the people to the front, and make sure the voices of the most impacted people are heard. So many can?t be here in person, but you can sign this petition to put more weight behind these critical demands, wherever you are. To keep funding fossil fuels means to knowingly bankroll a climate disaster. We need the world's richest countries like the United States, United Kingdom, and the European Union to step up their climate finance game right now: stop funding fossil fuels, invest in solutions to the climate crisis instead, everywhere in the world. Sign the petition now I said this is a journey because this climate summit won?t magically solve the climate crisis, but pledges made here, and ?importantly? people power unleashed here can take a critical step towards ending the fossil fuel era once and for all. Together, with the pressure on the streets and online, we will make banks and governments start moving at the scale and speed necessary to create the change we need. I?ll send more updates soon.

Sign the petition It?s decision time. Next week, AXA?s CEO,Thomas Buberl, could decide to stop his multinational company from insuring any new oil and gas projects. Withdrawing insurance coverage from these dirty projects is a powerful lever to keep fossil fuels in the ground. In the past AXA has done a pretty good job - by becoming the first insurer to exclude all coal projects. And in 10 days, on Climate Finance Day, AXA could do exactly the same thing for oil and gas. Problem is, the initiative is facing a lot of backlash and opponents are doing their best to water down the new policy to save their most juicy and climate-wrecking deals. we need your help to call on Thomas Buberl, AXA?s CEO, to adopt a new breakthrough policy to end AXA?s support for new oil and gas once and for all: Tell Thomas Buberl to take leadership on climate and stop supporting new oil and gas projects! Thomas Buberl is considered the most active climate leader within the insurance industry. In 2017, he stopped insuring new coal projects. AXA?s move was followed by many insurers and coal has now become almost uninsurable. Despite this, a new investigation will soon publicly reveal that AXA continues to insure the exploration of huge oil and gas reserves, including in fragile ecosystems near the mouth of the Amazon River which are home to blue whales, manatees and other threatened species. Today, AXA has not only the unique opportunity to follow through on its green promises, but it also has the power to redefine the rules of the game by making oil and gas projects uninsurable too. tell Thomas Buberl to take the lead on climate by ending all support for new oil and gas projects! A few days ago, the International Energy Agency concluded the planet cannot afford any new oil and gas projects if we want to avoid catastrophic climate breakdown. Thomas Buberl is now in the hot seat to live up to his commitments: he must follow the science and not yield to climate wreckers? greed. All over the world, SumofUs members and their partners are ramping up the pressure on the world's biggest insurance companies to hold them accountable for their complicity in climate chaos. Today, together, we can bring the most powerful actor to do the right thing and bring the industry with him: Thomas Buberl: show the world you?re leading on climate not following!

President Biden?s Build Back Better agenda will make science the backbone of federal agencies, protect public health and help curb the existential threat of the climate crisis. Congress can vote as soon as THIS WEEK on a bill that makes the big, bold, and ambitious investments needed to tackle the climate crisis.

Your elected officials need to hear from you. Sign this petition and show your support. The climate crisis has a direct connection to our health. Addressing climate change will improve public health by limiting pollution, improving air quality, and reducing the threat of extreme weather. In March, the President unveiled a bold infrastructure package to help solve the connected challenges facing the U.S. -- the pandemic, climate, justice, and jobs -- by investing in clean energy, transportation, infrastructure, and new and innovative technologies. The plan would also ensure that at least 40% of the benefits of all the benefits of these investments go to those communities that have traditionally been overburdened by pollution, while putting millions of people back to work. We can address the climate crisis by cleaning up the dangerous air pollution that harms frontline communities and all our families.

Message-ID: Hi, Taking action works! Hundreds of thousands of us signed a petition that has stopped a mega-port in Tenerife that threatened the only whale heritage site in the European Union. The home to more than 75 protected species including whales, dolphins, sharks and turtles is now safe. [1] This is how it happened: Over the summer, in just a few weeks, thousands of supporters grew to over 422.000: Our digital petition was supercharged by volunteers leading a campaign of signature collection on paper on the ground in the Canaries. This got loads of attention and the story made it onto the Spanish national news, newspapers like National Geographic but also local papers, radio and TV in the Canaries. This all led to a sudden U-turn of most political forces in the local authority responsible for approving the port. Even the regional government made declarations that they felt the local authority should give up on this port. [2] We won! Standing up for nature and the public good, in a system that puts the economic interests of the powerful few first, can sometimes feel impossible to win. That?s why it?s so important to stop and celebrate what we have achieved together today. Our community has come behind petitions like this, set up by local organisations using our YouMove Europe tool many times, and won! [3] Just last year, together, we helped protect an old growth forest in Romania home to some of our last European bears and a wetland key for migrating birds in Montenegro. [4] Every win exposes an economic system that does not work for people or nature and needs to change. Europe is not just about EU politics. It's also about what is going on in all of our hometowns and countries that affects us all. It?s about how we join forces to influence what is happening around us. Still, the league of construction businessmen can?t accept they have lost for now. [5] They will probably be waiting for their next opportunity to build the mega-port. Some politicians might also go back to supporting the mega-port if they think our mobilisation is over. That?s why we are not going to lower our guard. Thanks to you for being part of this community, for every action you take. Together we make a difference. David (London), Virginia (Madrid), and the entire WeMove Europe team PS.

We've been growing, accomplishing more, and also developing prospects for future funding. But at the moment we're in the worst jam we've ever been in financially. If you can consider making a small donation, or even becoming a sustaining monthly donor or large donor like those we've thanked here (or if you're already a recurring donor, increasing your monthly contribution by even a few dollars), we'd be immensely grateful. Just click here to chip in. While war continues to bring death, sickness, and suffering to millions of people across the world, the expense of war continues to cause even more damage through the diversion of resources. That?s why we are continuing to expand our work, our courses, our events, our resources, and our activism. Have you seen our recent webinars, online courses (we're planning at least five next year), bookclubs (one every month now), our new anti-war pro-peace resources database, our growing number of chapters and affiliates, our campaign around COP26, the accomplishments and ongoing struggles of our divestment and close bases campaigns, our plans for Remembrance/Armistice Day, our latest billboards, etc., etc.? We're keeping busy, and a grand total of zero corporations and no billionaires are helping out. To be fully transparent, World BEYOND War is in a very precarious spot financially. Can you help? The past year-and-a-half has been difficult ? and we recognize that it has been for many of you too. Donations have dipped more than normal, foundations have shifted funding priorities to support direct emergency pandemic relief, many family charities have frozen funding in an effort to align family members? priorities in the wake of the pandemic and the racial reckoning felt across many countries (which too often results in billions of dollars sitting untouched and collecting interest when it could be streamlined into supporting and creating transformative change), and almost all of our events have all moved online ? which creates less opportunity for networking and growing alliances and partners, critical pieces of our sustainability. Despite these things, we have expanded our educational programs and activist efforts into new parts of the world. To be blunt: we need money to continue to do this work. Our pockets are shallow and our bank account is the lowest it?s been. While the U.S. government alone puts at least $100,000,000,000 into militarism each month, World BEYOND War can get by on $30,000. As of now, we don't have that $30,000 for the next month Can you help us continue? We understand that you likely get asked by many to donate and support a variety of causes, but we also understand and recognize your alignment with the need for war abolition. This movement we?re building is about us working collectively to choose a system of security that betters us all ? the entire global community ? over one in which war and violence reign and continue to devastate lives. We are choosing a system that doesn?t hoard wealth and resources but instead ensures that everyone has access to clean drinking water, food, housing, and healthcare; saves our planet from further destruction and contamination; enshrines ideals around gender, racial, and religious equality; and, helps preserve indigenous lands and histories ? free from violence. I know we have asked for your support in the past. And we couldn?t do any of the work we do without your generosity. But without an immediate infusion of cash, we may not be able to make payroll for our staff even though their salaries are quite modest. Here?s how you can help right now: a.. Make a contribution to World BEYOND War today so we can continue this critical work b.. Write a letter to your friends and colleagues endorsing our work c.. Hold a small fundraising event in support of World BEYOND War d.. Share your ideas about how we can grow our donor network Our cards are on the table and I?d be happy to send you any documentation or information you?d need to help make the case for support or to aid in you making a decision about what level of support to offer. We?ve accomplished an incredible amount on a modest budget and, with your help, we can continue to do so. As always, thanks for your commitment to abolishing war once and for all.

Earlier today, new shocking research was revealed: one of the world's biggest oil companies, Total, has known that burning fossil fuels could cause a climate crisis since 1971. [1] They KNEW. They knew, and for decades they lied about it, funded climate denial and disinformation, misled their shareholders and the public. They knowingly chose their profit over people?s lives. As this news breaks, we?re ready to start making Total pay for their lies. Total depends on the money they get from commercial banks from all over the world. With one hand, these banks hold our hard-earned savings; with another, they fund Total?s toxic business, which fuels the climate crisis and robs us of a safe and secure future. But they have a weakness: it?s us, their clients. If enough of us speak up right now and demand that these banks cut off Total?s access to money, we could become a real threat to their reputation and profits. We could make any association with Total and other fossil fuel companies too toxic to be worth the risk. Please ? take action right now, sign our petition and help build pressure on Total?s funders! Add your name ? The report published today by French and American researchers reveals what we suspected to be true -- but it?s only now that we have indisputable proof. Total?s staff learned about the impact of their core business on the Earth?s climate as far back as 1971 ? that?s 50 years ago. Since the 1980s, together with Exxon and others, Total knowingly spread climate doubt and denial, and spent millions each year to sow disinformation and lobby politicians. In the past 50 years, Total?s market value and profits have skyrocketed. Their relentless extraction and burning of fossil fuels puts them on the list of just 20 companies responsible for a third of all CO2 emissions since the 1960s. [2] That profit has come at an unspeakable price: the cost of real lives. People suffering and dying today from climate impacts ? wildfires, floods, violent hurricanes - were condemned 50 years ago when Total?s directors decided that people?s lives were worth less than the massive profits from burning ever more oil and gas. They knew, and they chose money and comfort over people?s livelihoods and a healthy climate. If that makes you as angry as it makes me, Vladimir, you can start by joining me in calling on some of the world?s biggest banks to cut Total off. These banks are vulnerable to customer pressure: we hold the power to threaten their reputation and their bottom line, but only if enough of us from across the world act together right now, when this breaking news is on the headlines. Add your name ? Moments like this make me believe that the era of the unchecked power of the fossil fuel industry is coming to an end ? and that?s thanks to this incredible, powerful, diverse movement we?re both part of. We?ve taken down fossil fuel companies, we?ve stopped pipelines from being built on Indigenous lands, we got banks to withdraw their loans and governments to pass laws to protect the climate. [3] We?re going to get there, one victory at a time, if we keep coming together in power and solidarity. Thanks for being part of this! Onwards, Julia, on behalf of the 350.org team PS: Why not target Total directly? Because we don?t want their empty promises: we want them to feel real painful consequences of their lies. In France, the climate justice movement today is demanding that the State starts an official investigation into Total?s lies.

As the world?s media focus on climate during the COP26, we have a golden opportunity to shed light on Lloyds? climate wrecking business and make them feel the heat. Next week our partners at Coal Action Network will organise a series of powerful actions to commemorate communities that are directly impacted by polluting projects insured by UK?s biggest financiers, such as Australia?s Adani Mine and the Cambo oilfield in the North Sea. The activists will set up a climate justice memorial outside Lloyd?s of London and today they're asking you to take part in the action by sending your own message to Lloyd's staff members and execs. Can you support this action by calling Lloyd's to rule out insuring climate chaos? SEND YOUR MESSAGEYour testimonial will serve as a memorial to the communities on the front lines of climate breakdown who are directly impacted by the ruthless consequences of Lloyd?s appalling environmental record. By insuring the disastrous Adani mine in Australia and the TransMountain pipeline in Canada, Lloyd's is not only opening up some of the greatest untouched fossil fuel reserves on the planet, it is also wrecking the lands of vulnerable Indigenous communities. Without insurance, these reckless schemes can't happen -- fossil fuels stay in the ground and a better future for the most vulnerable communities, you and me, is possible. Can you support this powerful memorial action by writing a personal message we?ll send to Lloyd?s staff and execs? Lloyd's is one of the oldest insurance businesses in the world -- and by far the worst. From the insurance of slave ships, to the insurance of climate-destroying projects that dispossess Indigenous peoples of their land, Lloyd?s literally have blood on their hands. Citizen activists like you have already pushed 10 of Lloyd's biggest insurance syndicates to rule out insuring Adani?s toxic Carmichael mine in Australia and forced American insurance giant AIG not to renew its insurance for the mine. All over the world, SumOfUs members are supporting Indigenous led grassroots campaigns to stop the world's biggest insurance companies' complicity in the climate chaos.

Thank you for standing with us and raising your voice to demand that leaders in Washington take action towards a just transition to a 100% renewable energy future?carbon-free and nuclear-free. We know we?ve been asking a lot of you and we wanted to give you a status update on how far we?ve come in demanding real climate action instead of the false promises of nuclear power that only enrich corrupt corporations while leaving frontline communities behind. If you?ve been following all of the news, know this: the reason the huge spending bills haven?t passed is that environmental and climate justice activists are turning the tide. We have prevented corporations and the forces of compromise and obstruction from throwing away our best chance for a nuclear-free, carbon-free energy future?and we are winning the debate! When the White House first announced in March that it wanted its Build Back Better agenda to include a massive ?clean energy? tax credit for dirty, dangerous, old nuclear power plants, we knew we had to act. We knew a national nuclear bailout would be a major mistake and would block renewable energy and divert billions of dollars from real climate solutions, ultimately deepening the climate crisis. You showed up, took action, and joined a groundswell of grassroots activists to demand better. Together, we?ve sent 105,000 messages to President Biden and Congress, including all 100 Senators and 413 members (95%) of the House. You?ve also joined us in protests at Congressional offices and Capitol Hill, including last week?s historic People vs. Fossil Fuels week of action, in which a total of 655 people were arrested in acts of civil disobedience, demanding that President Biden uphold his commitments to climate action and environmental justice. Together, we have accomplished so much. And the good news is that we?ve been winning! Over the last six months, the nuclear bailout proposal has been cut back from as much as $200 billion to about $35 billion. Now, we have to get it cut completely. It has never been a more important time for you to tell your elected leaders to cut wasteful, corrupt nuclear bailouts in the Build Back Better Act. Tell the White House and Congress: NO nuclear bailouts! Stick with us as we continue to mobilize grassroots voices to protect our future and demand a just transition to a clean, renewable energy future. TAKE ACTION!

Take action now Hi, Forests are the lungs of our planet. They are what keeps our planet breathing. But they are under attack. [1] Trees are being burned in the EU to generate what some claim to be ?renewable energy?. You helped us draw much-needed attention to this. Our governments choose to funnel our hard-earned taxes towards burning forests all over Europe. [2] Millions of trees are being cut down and burned by the wood-burning industry from Sweden to Finland. From Germany to Austria. All because wood burning is considered ?renewable energy?. Key Members of the European Parliament have *just* been handed this important decision on their desks; is burning trees really 'green'? [3] If they decide the answer is no, funding for burning trees will be a thing of the past and we could save millions of trees. But many of them still don?t know what is at stake. [4] This is our opportunity to tell them, before the wood-burning lobby gets a chance to control the story: we wouldn?t remove our lungs and we shouldn?t remove our forests. Will you spare a second to share your message that we need to save trees, not burn them, now? Using the buttons below to send a tweet or email can make all the difference. Send a tweet now! Send an email now! Burning trees releases huge amounts of emissions, firing up the climate crisis. Replanting trees takes a long time. We simply cannot replace the trees we burn in the short time we have left to save our planet. We know making noise works. Together we have already moved the powerful Environment Minister of Finland. She received our messages a few months ago and publicly stated she wants to help protect trees now. [5] We can do it again and move the most influential MEPs today. Over 254,000 of us, including you have spoken up already. If many of us contact our MEPs together, we can send a powerful message to protect our forests at this crucial time. Send a tweet now! Send an email now! In solidarity, David (London), Annemarie (Berlin) and the entire WeMove Europe team P.S. Experts are lining up to call for an end to burning our forests. Did you know that 500 leading scientists warn against it? [6] They have urged decision makers not to threaten climate goals and our world?s biodiversity by burning trees to generate energy. Take action now!

This number is particularly staggering when you learn that most Norwegians don't even eat whale meat!

Additionally, two-thirds of the whales killed are female and half of those are actually pregnant when they die! Whales are a critical part of the ocean's ecosystem and a boon for tourism in Norway. For these reasons and more, the vast majority of Norwegians think whaling should be banned. Will you sign the petition to urge the government of Norway to finally do away with whaling?

Gone was the serious, taciturn 15-year-old I?d interviewed in 2019 when the world had just begun to turn its gaze on her. Back then, Thunberg felt she was waging a lonely battle. She didn?t think too many folks, including her peers, cared about the climate. But in the three years that have passed since, I think she has realized she?s not alone. Young people today are engaging with climate and environmental activism in ways that previous generations haven?t. Best yet, they are no strangers to love! Love for this living world and for our fellow beings is what drives environmental activism after all. It?s the sharing of that love that gives us strength and keeps us going. And it?s what allowed Thunberg to run up on stage that night and, for a while, simply be a teenager having a bit of giddy fun. I was reminded of the importance of love and community again by another young climate activist, Artemisio Romero y Carver, during a Q&A session with this years? Brower Youth Award winners on Tuesday. ?You need other people,? she said. ?Through relying on other people, when the time comes that you are burned out, when it is too traumatizing, when it is too exhausting, there will be other people to do that work until you feel like you can? and you will take over for someone else.? So my takeaway this week: Find your peeps. You know, those folks who offer you love and encouragement even as they challenge you to do your best to save our imperiled world. And, while at it, be sure to make some time to dance. Maureen Nandini Mitra Editor, Earth Island Journal P.S. The kids are really alright!

Message-ID: <362C35F7DEA24A579038555CB79A7C89@lewpostnew> In the Serengeti, a small, specially trained team of rescue dogs sniff out poachers and sound the alarm. Just 4 dogs have helped arrest hundreds of poachers, saving countless elephants being murdered for their ivory. Almost a quarter of the elephants in the park now live in the tiny area they protect -- but poaching is on the rise everywhere else and there are thousands more elephants that still need protection. That?s why the team behind this amazing project is asking for your help to train up double the number of these sniffer dogs -- and save double the number of elephants. With 96 of these gentle giants killed each day, every moment counts. Can you chip in to help? If you?ve saved your payment information with SumOfUs, your donation will go through immediately: Donate $3 now Donate another amount If 4 dogs protect all those elephants, imagine what 8 or 10 or even 20 could do! And it?s not just the Serengeti -- poaching everywhere has skyrocketed in the past year, pushing endangered elephants and other animals even closer to the brink. An influx of support from people around the world could help get this anti-poaching game-changer the recognition it deserves, finally helping solve our poaching crisis. It could also help governments justify funding programs just like this in parks all across Africa. And our community can be right there, advocating for it at every turn. Together we could help spark the beginning of the end of an elephant poaching scourge that slaughters 30,000 beautiful ancient elephants every year. Can you help?

Sign Now The summer of 2021 was the hottest on record, and new Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports have a warning for us. If we do not act quickly to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the future will only be hotter and more filled with catastrophes like fires, famines, and floods. Yet President Biden is oddly claiming that the recent IPCC reports somehow do not provide strong enough evidence for him to end offshore drilling. This is utter balony. The science is exceedingly clear: climate change is getting worse fast, and we must act quickly and dramatically to stop it. Less than 5% of the world's population lives within U.S. borders, yet the United States has contributed more to climate change than almost any other country in the world. The burden, however, for worsening climate change will mostly be felt by the world's poorest and most vulnerable communities in the Global South ? those who have contributed virtually nothing to greenhouse gases in comparison. This injustice could push the most marginalized people even deeper into poverty. On top of that, because of our planet's warming climate, we are on the verge of a sixth mass extinction event. The link between offshore drilling and climate change also couldn't be more clear. Every second we sink more of our future into petroleum and the ecosystem destruction that accompanies it, we're dooming our future. There's no time to waste. Sign the petition to tell President Biden: climate inaction is a death sentence! Stop offshore drilling today! Thank you for all that you do, Miranda The Care2 Petitions Team P.S.

Did You Hear About The 655 Climate Protesters Arrested in DC? A total of 655 people were arrested in Washington, D.C., last week as they protested fossil fuel projects and demanded that President Joe Biden declare a climate emergency. Demonstrators began blocking the fence outside the White House on Monday, Indigenous Peoples? Day, chanting and waving signs. On Thursday, Indigenous leaders sat on the floor of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, linking arms -- and activists sprayed fake oil on the steps of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, sending pink and blue smoke plumes into the air. On Friday, youth activists formed a blockade in the road leading to the Capitol. Black Children Were Jailed For A Crime That Doesn't Exist The police were at Hobgood Elementary School because of that video. But they hadn?t come for the boys who threw punches. They were here for the children who looked on. The police in Murfreesboro, a fast-growing city about 30 miles southeast of Nashville, had secured juvenile petitions for 10 children in all who were accused of failing to stop the fight. Officers were now rounding up kids, even though the department couldn?t identify a single one in the video, which was posted with a filter that made faces fuzzy. Cori Bush Fights Back Against Use of Tear Gas on Civilians Following a call by Rep.

Can you help save the reef by demanding BNY Mellon rules out funding this disastrous carbon bomb? Sign the petition Adani's risky coal project that could help hasten the destruction of Australia's Great Barrier Reef might be about to receive a huge lifeline from the Bank of New York Mellon -- but Vladimir, you can stop it. You have already helped force over 100 companies to say they won?t work on Adani's Carmichael mining project. So in desperation, Adani knocked on the door of the Bank of New York Mellon, the bank founded by Alexander Hamilton (yes, that Hamilton from the global hit musical). If this eleventh hour deal goes through it could undo so much vital work our movement has done. But it?s not too late for you to stop it. People power has pushed the world's biggest financial institutions out of this project -- let?s do it again and demand the CEO of the Bank of New York Mellon rules out funding Adani?s dirty mine. Add your name: CEO Todd Gibbons, rule out funding Adani?s Carmichael coal mine now! The Bank of New York Mellon is one of the biggest US banks and also one of the least climate friendly -- it has zero policies limiting the financing of coal projects, and no intention of working towards the Paris Agreement?s climate goals. Which means the risk of Adani?s coal mine being funded is very real. Opposition to Adani?s controversial coal project has been unstoppable. All around the world people have been standing up against Adani, like the Wangan and Jagalingou people who are the Traditional Owners of the land Adani is destroying and local communities in Godda, India, where Adani is constructing a big new coal power station. This bank claims to be putting the future first, but if this deal goes ahead BNY Mellon could be responsible for finally giving Adani the cash it needs to get one of the largest coal mines in the world operational.

Message-ID: <051650C1CDC24B928CDCF0895264D2DD@evol.sp.ru> UN Climate Change ?Global Climate Action 28 October 2021 High Level Climate Champions Newsletter The Race to Health The race to a resilient, zero-emissions economy before 2050 is a race to a healthier future, with fewer premature deaths caused by dirty air and water, natural disasters, food shortages and other impacts of climate change. The health care sector understands this better than many, and is taking action to reduce its 4.4 per cent share of net global emissions. As of this week, more than 50 health care institutions have joined the UN-backed Race to Zero campaign through our partner, Health Care Without Harm. That?s 11,500 health care facilities in 21 countries committing to do their fair share of halving greenhouse gas emissions between 2020 and 2030 and reaching net zero emissions before 2050. Among them: the Kerala Directorate of Health Services in India, the international health care and insurance provider Bupa, the US nonprofit health care system CommonSpirit Health and the US private system Ascension. This leadership is part of a diverse and growing movement for climate action in the global health sector, including with national governments committing to decarbonize health care and make it resilient to climate impacts. This is important because the climate crisis is above all a public health crisis, undermining progress in health care, according to the 2021 Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change report released last week. It causes more frequent and intense extreme weather such as heatwaves, floods and droughts; it increases the spread of infectious diseases such as dengue, malaria and cholera; and it exacerbates food and water shortages and poverty. In 2020, 72 per cent of countries saw an increase in human exposure to wildfire and up to 19 per cent of the global land surface was affected by drought in any month, it said. Those who contribute the least to global emissions are feeling the worst impacts. The Healthy Recovery Deaths can be prevented, and inequality alleviated, if countries, cities, regions, businesses, investors and others come up with meaningful commitments and policy changes at COP26 to cut emissions this decade, clean up the air we breathe and transition to healthier, more sustainable diets. The World Health Organization recently recommended 10 priority actions for addressing the climate and health crises together, including placing health and social justice at the heart of COP26 talks, protecting and restoring nature and promoting healthy, sustainable and resilient food systems. The ?rapid economic reactivation? underway after Covid-19 offers an ?unprecedented opportunity? to follow the WHO?s previous prescription for a healthy, green recovery, the Lancet added. That WHO manifesto calls for supporting nature, essential services such as water and sanitation, the energy transition, healthy and sustainable food systems and liveable cities. The WHO also strengthened its guidelines for air quality in September, saying that almost 80 per cent of deaths related to PM2.5 pollution - mostly from the burning of fossil fuels - would be avoided if all countries followed them. Air pollution currently causes around 7 million premature deaths worldwide, according to the WHO. Health care professionals around the world are calling on leaders to take climate action that protects human health and equity, with 450 organizations representing over 45 millions health workers signing a prescription this month. The health care sector can take seven high-impact steps to reduce emissions by 44 gigatonnes over 36 years - equivalent to keeping over 2.7 billion barrels of oil in the ground and potentially saving over 5 million lives by 2100, according to Health Care Without Harm?s roadmap for the sector. Those include shifting to full renewable power, invest in zero-emission buildings and transport, and incentivizing and producing low-carbon pharmaceuticals. The pharmaceutical and medical technology sector hit a breakthrough in ambition in September in the push to halve emissions between 2020 and 2030, with 31 per cent of major companies by revenue joining the Race to Zero. New joiners, through the Business Ambition for 1.5?C initiative, include Thermo Fisher (US), Novartis (Switzerland), Demant (Denmark) and HU Group (Japan). The Marrakech Partnership & High-Level Champions at COP26 COP26 is set to see a groundswell of commitment and action from across the global economy, from businesses, investors, cities and regions. And they?ll be sending their governments a loud and clear message: we are ready, willing and able to accelerate and widen the transformation to halve greenhouse gas emissions and build resilience within the 2020s. The full programme of the Marrakech Partnership is available here . Climate resilience is firmly on the agenda at COP26 with the launch of the Resilience Hub.

The new or updated Nationally Determined Contributions submitted by 143 parties to the Paris Agreement would reduce emissions by about 9 per cent in 2030 compared to 2010 levels, according to UN Climate Change?s NDC Synthesis report updated this week. However, all 192 NDCs would lead to 16 per cent increase by 2030, or a temperature rise of 2.7?C by 2100. a.. Governments plan to produce more than twice the amount of fossil fuels in 2030 that would be consistent with limiting warming to 1.5?C, according to the UN Environment Programme?s Production Gap report. G20 countries have directed around US$300 billion towards fossil fuels since Covid-19 started, more than towards clean energy. a.. The benefits of regenerative agriculture in Africa, for society and business, are bigger than expected, the Africa Regenerative Agriculture Study Group has found. Sustained use of regenerative agriculture can increase yields by 68-300 per cent, while household incomes for smallholder farmers could rise by up to US$150 per year. a.. Africa saw mounting food insecurity, poverty and displacement in 2020 as a result of changing precipitation patterns, rising temperatures and more extreme weather, according to the World Meteorological Organization?s State of Climate in Africa report. This is compounding the socio-economic and health crisis triggered by Covid-19 on the continent. a.. The built environment sector hit a breakthrough in ambition this week, with US$1.2 trillion of real estate assets under management now part of the Race to Zero. Over 100 SME construction companies in 10 countries, and 20 per cent of architects and engineers, have joined the campaign. The percentage of construction companies who are members has also doubled in the last two months. a.. Chile became the first emerging market to end the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles, requiring that all light and medium vehicles, public transport and heavy trucks sold from 2035 be zero-emission. New smaller trucks used in construction, agriculture and forestry will have to be zero-emissions by 2040, followed by all cargoes and inter-urban buses in 2045. a.. The Under2 Coalition of states and regions will now require members to aim for net zero emissions, as it transitions to become a net-zero coalition by 2050. a.. London Mayor Sadiq Khan is the new chair of C40, the coalition of 97 cities representing over 700 million people and a quarter of the global GDP. a.. Russia faces a slow but steady depletion of capacity to absorb emissions through forests by 2040, as a result of record forest fires, ageing trees and felling - but the country is emerging as a leader in forest management certification, according to research by Climate Chance. a.. About 12 million people were employed in the global renewable energy sector in 2020, up from 7.3 million in 2012, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency. Solar PV leads the way with 4 million jobs. a..

The window for action to avert dramatic global temperature increases is closing fast. This year?s international climate negotiations (COP 26) represent a critical crossroads in our fight for climate action. Representatives from nations all around the world will convene in Glasgow to develop a new action plan to keep the goals of the Paris Agreement within reach. Some nations have already set goals to reach net zero emissions ? and others need to dramatically raise their ambition. I?m asking you to join people around the world who are demanding our leaders take action ? real action ? commensurate with the crisis at hand. Here?s how you can join me for 24 Hours of Reality: Let?s Get Real on October 29: a.. Demand real change by posting on social media with the hashtag #LetsGetReal. We have some sample posts and graphics that you can choose from or you can click here. b.. Record and post a short video explaining why real climate action matters to you. Then, share it on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, or any other platform you prefer with the hashtag #LetsGetReal. c.. Take action where you are. Visit the 24 Hours of Reality website for ways you can participate in actions that are specific to your region or country. We have the clean energy solutions we need to halt warming in time to avoid the worst of the crisis.

Hi, The 26th annual climate talks (COP26) are set to start on 31 October. These talks have always been less easy for people from developing countries to access. Many people won't make it to the table at all this year -- even more than usual, because of Covid travel restrictions, and UK government?s mishandling of the logistics, and global unequal access to Covid vaccines. But the people facing serious climate impacts already are exactly who the UN delegates should be listening to while they negotiate climate action! As COP26 gets started, we want to make sure all the COP participants hear something they won?t forget: the real voices of people dealing with global heating right now. We?re putting together an audio message of people across the world demanding leaders at COP stop funding fossil fuels, pay what they owe for climate finance, and fund a just transition everywhere. We plan to play these messages to delegates throughout the conference. Whenever they lose sight of the priorities, we?ll make sure they hear them directly from you. Your voice could make a real difference. We?re on a tight deadline. Recording your message will take no more than 5 minutes ? but we need it by Saturday 30 October. Here?s what you need to do: 1. Prepare your message to the delegates attending the climate talks Start with a pen and paper, and sketch out what you want your message to say. a.. You can address a specific country, all heads of states or governments, all delegates, or just start telling your story. b.. You can tell them how the climate crisis has affected you or your loved ones; what your motivation is for engaging in the climate movement; and especially, what a just, fair future means for you and your community. c.. You can tell them to act urgently to stop funding fossil fuels (like we have with this petition), or tell them how the climate crisis has impacted your life already. Keep your message short ? two or three sentences is enough! Remember that we need many different voices to make this work. 2. Practice your message Read out your message once or twice to make sure it?s clear and strong. You can time yourself to make sure you keep it short. 3. When you?re ready: click this link to open a blank WhatsApp message addressed to us! Record your message, or ask a friend to help you record it. We need a good mix of audio and video messages for this to work ? take your pick! To record a video: hold your phone in landscape mode (horizontally). Look directly into the camera. Make sure you?re in a quiet spot ? if you?re outdoors, watch out for wind or traffic noise. Speak clearly. To record an audio message: hold your phone or microphone close to your mouth. Speak clearly, and make sure there?s no loud background noise around you. Please record your message in any language you are most comfortable speaking in. 4. Send in your message (before Saturday 30 October) Send us your audio or video message via WhatsApp! If you prefer, you can also send your video or audio message to us via email at videos at 350.org (Please note: We won?t be able to answer questions that come to us via WhatsApp, but if you email us with your query, we?ll do our best to respond.) Thank you so much for taking part and helping get our collective voices heard! Cans?n for the 350.org team P.S. This weekend, activists in Europe, the US and the Pacific will be taking action on the streets to increase the pressure on leaders to stop financing fossil fuels at these climate talks. Your voice message will help support their work on the ground, which you can follow using the #EndFossilFinance hashtag on all social media platforms. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 350.org is building a global climate movement.

Sign now to tell the United Nations: it is impossible to meet the Paris Agreement without fixing our global animal agricultural system! Address animal agriculture at COP26 in Scotland! On top of the appalling conditions experienced by the animals themselves, factory farming contributes massively to greenhouse gas emissions. Factory-farmed animals are often fed high-energy crops, and the farms themselves require massive amounts of energy to cool, heat, and ventilate the confinement facilities. The slaughtering, processing, packing and transporting of animal products alone emits several millions of tonnes of CO2 every year. Climate change is already wreaking havoc on our planet's ecosystems, causing droughts in our most fertile cropland, and forcing mass migration. We must put pressure on members of the United Nations and tell them: the time is now to address animal agriculture and act on climate! Thank you, Kelsey Care2 Petitions Team P.S.

To: Participants in COP26 UN Climate Change Conference, Glasgow, Scotland, November 1-12, 2021 From: YOU As a result of final-hour demands made by the U.S. government during negotiation of the 1997 Kyoto treaty, military greenhouse gas emissions were exempted from climate negotiations. That tradition has continued. The 2015 Paris Agreement left cutting military greenhouse gas emissions to the discretion of individual nations. The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, obliges signatories to publish annual greenhouse gas emissions, but military emissions reporting is voluntary and often not included. NATO has acknowledged the problem but not created any specific requirements to address it. There is no reasonable basis for this gaping loophole. War and war preparations are major greenhouse gas emitters. All greenhouse gas emissions need to be included in mandatory greenhouse gas emission reduction standards. There must be no more exception for military pollution. We ask COP26 to set strict greenhouse gas emissions limits that make no exception for militarism, include transparent reporting requirements and independent verification, and do not rely on schemes to "offset" emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions from a country?s overseas military bases must be fully reported and charged to that country, not the country where the base is located.

We are pleased to announce that, within the framework of the EU-supported Georgia Climate Action Program, the EU and CENN hosted an exhibition and awards ceremony for the winning posters in the Graphic Designers Competition ACT4CLIMATE and marked International Climate Action Day. Poster Competition - Act for the Climate was announced on September 7, with about 80 young people participating, who submitted more than 130 posters. The aim of the competition was to raise public awareness about climate change and to activate the public in the fight against climate change. Participants created posters that showcase climate change processes, challenges, and possible solutions, as well as presents the negative effects of climate change and reflects our attitudes towards climate change. The purpose of this event was to mark International Climate Action Day and to raise awareness in the community, especially among young people, about climate change and simple ways to mitigate its negative effects, daily actions that can help us reduce climate change. The first part of the event was dedicated to greeting the invited guests and presenting the goals and activities of the project ? Georgia Climate Action Program and Competition ? Act4Climate, and the second part was to award the winners, exhibit posters and interview the authors of the posters. The meeting was attended by the representatives of the EU Delegation to Georgia, the Ministry of Environment and Agriculture of Georgia, Ilia State University, non-governmental organizations, and competition participants. Up to 40 invited guests took part in the event and celebrated International Climate Change Action Day. With the support of the EU, CENN launched the Georgia Climate Program (GEO-CAP) in 2021. The project supports Georgia to act on climate change by introducing climate friendly behavior 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 that will result in collaborative climate actions in the target regions of the project. CENN will implement the GEO-CAP program 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. 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.

How amazing is this -- scientists have discovered mushrooms that can devour plastic waste in a matter of weeks...plastic that would otherwise just be in the ocean forever. Right now 91% of plastics we use can?t be recycled -- and every minute a truckload-worth is dumped in the ocean, suffocating sea life and spreading pollutants across shores. But scientists say these mushrooms could eat up to half of the plastic waste being dumped in the ocean -- and they need your help to finish their groundbreaking research. Scientist Dr Cullings is retiring from NASA this year to join the nonprofit Ocean Blue Project in their work to isolate and reproduce plastic-eaters for industrial use. They have projects planned in the US and New Zealand that need funding. If 5000 of us chip in, we can pay for the lab equipment they need to finish their research -- and help rid the planet of plastic waste. Are you in? If you?ve saved your payment information with SumOfUs, your donation will go through immediately: Donate $3 now Donate another amount Fungi, like mushrooms and yeast, are nature?s cleanup crew. The enzymes they produce can break down pollutants and clean up everything from oil spills to toxic pesticides. Nearly all the plastic ever created still exists in some form today. So scientists are using these crafty microbes to try and break down all types of plastics to make them possible to recycle and reuse -- and it?s working. Vladimir, we could finally get rid of plastic waste! But we need more research to do this on a bigger scale, and we need to move fast. Plastic production is increasing rapidly. By 2050, studies say there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish -- but we can change that. Ocean Blue Project and Dr Ken Cullings have been at the forefront of using fungi to clean up the environment. They have big ambitions in the war on plastic waste, but lab equipment, field materials, and research time don?t come cheap -- and they rely on donations to do this work. It?s not often we can make a dent in the world?s plastic pollution -- and this pioneering research could be one of the boldest solutions we?ve been waiting for. Will you be one of the 5000 donors we need to buy this lab equipment and support this crucial research to help eliminate plastic waste? If you?ve saved your payment information with SumOfUs, your donation will go through immediately: Donate $3 now Donate another amount P.S. Industrial-scale use of plastic-eaters is already being trialled in France and Australia. With your help we could advance this research and give the planet a fighting chance to breathe again.

Message-ID: Far right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro says it's his "dream" to crack open the Amazon. And he's pushing legislation to make his dream come true -- opening the rainforest to out-of-control mining and expelling Indigenous peoples from their ancestral lands to make it happen. These hideous bills could be voted on any day now -- we need an urgent, all-out push to stop him. That means polling to put pressure on key politicians, generating national and international media coverage, and backing the Indigenous organizations on the front lines to stop this dangerous legislation in its tracks. And it means we're counting on you -- will you chip in today to save the Amazon and its people? If you?ve saved your payment information with SumOfUs, your donation will go through immediately: Donate $3 now Donate another amount If we can't stop these bills from passing, we'll see the Amazon divvied up and parceled out to the highest bidders in the mining, logging, and big agriculture industries -- a disaster for our planet's climate and biodiversity. And we'll see the erasure of Indigenous peoples across the Brazilian Amazon, including isolated peoples that have never come into contact with outsiders. This is the corporate free-for-all future that Bolsonaro desperately desires, but together, we can still stop it from coming to pass. When you chip in $2 today, you'll fund a campaign with the power to stand up to Bolsonaro, his allies in Congress, and the greedy corporations that back them. You'll pay for investigations to expose the companies behind this inhumane legislation, running targeted TV, radio, and digital advertising to mobilize popular opinion against Bolsonaro, and so much more.

Dear friends, Humanity is failing to stop the climate crisis. It's now beyond urgent -- the planet is screaming for help. Right now world leaders are meeting for historic climate talks -- but pledges without real action won't cut it anymore. We need bold, visionary leaders to finally do what's needed to pull us back from the abyss. I'll be at the talks with inspiring youth leaders like Vanessa Nakate and Dominika Lasota. We'll personally meet dozens of governments -- it's the perfect opportunity to deliver a giant call for urgent action. Join us now: add your name with one click and pass this on. Add my name To world leaders, "Betrayal." That's how young people around the world describe our governments' failure to cut carbon emissions. And it's no surprise. We are catastrophically far from the crucial goal of 1.5?C, and yet governments everywhere are still accelerating the crisis, spending billions on fossil fuels. This is not a drill. It's code red for the Earth. Millions will suffer as our planet is devastated -- a terrifying future that will be created, or avoided, by the decisions you make. You have the power to decide. As citizens across the planet, we urge you to face up to the climate emergency. Not next year. Not next month. Now: a.. Keep the precious goal of 1.5?C alive with immediate, drastic, annual emission reductions unlike anything the world has ever seen. b.. End all fossil fuel investments, subsidies, and new projects immediately, and stop new exploration and extraction. c.. End 'creative' carbon accounting by publishing total emissions for all consumption indices, supply chains, international aviation and shipping, and the burning of biomass. d.. Deliver the $100bn promised to the most vulnerable countries, with additional funds for climate disasters. e.. Enact climate policies to protect workers and the most vulnerable, and reduce all forms of inequality. We can still do this. There is still time to avoid the worst consequences if we are prepared to change. It will take determined, visionary leadership. And it will take immense courage -- but know that when you rise, billions will be right behind you. Add my name It can feel incredibly hard to keep hope alive in the face of inaction. But my hope lies in people -- in the millions of us who are rising to save the future. It lies in our marches, in our dogged determination to keep fighting, and in our trembling voices as we speak truth to power. My hope is rooted in action and fuelled by a love for humanity and our most beautiful earth. It's what keeps me absolutely convinced that we can do this. And we must do this. Together.
