It?s time to tax the rich

                        President Ramaphosa holds the G20 gavel ? and the 
power to rewrite the global economy.

                        He promised to stand for fairness and justice. Now 
he has the chance to prove it with a global billionaire tax.

                        Tell Ramaphosa: back a global billionaire tax at the 
G20

                         Sign the petition


            Right now, the world stands at a crossroads: billionaires are 
hoarding obscene wealth while millions struggle just to survive.

            But for the first time ever, South Africa?s President Cyril 
Ramaphosa has a special opportunity to change that. As G20 president, he can 
put a global billionaire tax at the top of the agenda ? a move that could 
rewrite the rules of the global economy.

            If he feels the weight of people power behind him, Ramaphosa 
could lead a historic shift. But if he doesn?t, billionaires will keep 
getting away with it.

            That?s where we come in. If thousands of us come together, we 
can show Ramaphosa the world is counting on him to lead ? and make 
billionaires finally pay their fair share.

            Add your name now to demand Ramaphosa push a global billionaire 
tax at the G20.

            Just a 2% wealth tax on the world?s richest 3,000 billionaires 
could raise $250 billion every single year, enough to save lives, protect 
ecosystems, and fund a just transition to a greener future.

            Ramaphosa has already set the stage. His G20 presidency theme, 
?Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability?, places justice front and center. 
He?s even launched a task force on wealth inequality and economic 
disparities. But unless he puts a billionaire tax on the table, these 
efforts risk falling short.

            A billionaire tax isn?t a pipe dream ? it?s practical, 
achievable, and popular. Polling shows strong majorities around the world 
support taxing billionaires.  And last year, Brazil introduced this very 
proposal at the G20, winning support with nations in Latin America and 
Africa. With South Africa hosting this year, the momentum is on Ramaphosa?s 
side.

            But momentum alone won?t be enough ? we need massive public 
pressure to make sure it happens.

            Sign now and tell President Ramaphosa: put a global billionaire 
tax on the G20 agenda

            Together, let?s make this year?s G20 remembered not for empty 
words, but for ending the era of billionaires.


             Sign the petition
            Thanks for all that you do,
            Deborah and the team at Ek?

            Vladimir,

            The great call of the Javan gibbon is one of the most beautiful 
and unique sounds in the natural world ? and it could soon vanish forever.

            Accelerating logging, farming, and over-development have carved 
up Java?s tropical forests into fragments, leaving gibbons isolated and 
stranded. They can?t reach one another to socialise and mate or cross the 
forest for food.

            Without us intervening now, the species can?t survive.

            SwaraOwa is a local group of young nature defenders leading the 
way in making Java?s forests whole again. They?re reconnecting broken 
forest, working with communities to give stranded gibbons a way to reunite 
with the larger forest and each other.

            And here's the incredible thing -- it's working. New forest 
corridors have boosted the Javan gibbon population by 20%!

            But right now, they?re up against greedy developers who could 
swoop in at any time and undo all this progress. They urgently need our 
help. If enough of us chip in, we can help reunite these gibbons, and 
continue to defend species and forests everywhere from exploitation. This is 
one of the only things standing between survival and extinction for Java?s 
gibbons ? can you help save the species?


            I'll donate $3
            I'll donate $4

            I'll donate $5
            I'll donate $9
            I'll donate another amount


            Javan gibbons exist only here, in these forests. But they can?t 
survive in isolation. They are social creatures. They live in family groups, 
raise young together, and sing their great call across the forest to find 
one another.

            When the forest is cut up into isolated patches, those bonds are 
broken ? and so is the species? ability to thrive.

            Reconnecting Java?s forests is vital. It gives these gibbons a 
bridge to cross safely in search of food, find mates, and keep their 
families strong. Every corridor created also helps restore the ecosystem, 
shelter countless other species, and revive precious tropical forests that 
our planet so desperately needs.

            SwaraOwa has already shown what?s possible: a 20% boost in the 
gibbon population thanks to new forest connections. But unless we step in 
now, development could destroy the last fragile links between gibbons before 
they even have a chance to recover.

            If enough of us chip in, we can help our partners create 
corridors, protect threatened land, and keep the gibbons? songs alive for 
generations to come. And then continue the critical work of defending our 
natural world from exploitation.

            They need our help to do it ? can you chip in to save Java?s 
gibbons?

            I'll donate $4

            I'll donate $5

            Right now a generous donor is tripling Ek??s contribution to protect Borneo?s ancient rainforest. With that match, every dollar we send to our partners can help protect almost an acre!



--------------------------------------------------------------------




            Industrial-scale loggers and palm oil plantations are cutting deep into one of the oldest forests on Earth ? home to orangutans, elephants, and over a million Indigenous Peoples who depend on it for their survival.

            Today we can help them defend it, forever.

            Working with our long-time partner Rainforest Trust, we have an extraordinary opportunity to help Indigenous Dayak Peoples in 56 villages in Borneo secure and protect 500,000 acres of rainforest through land tenure rights. Supporting government designation takes a lot of work, but when it happens, it will prohibit industrial-scale exploitation of any kind, including commercial hunting, logging, and mining.

            Industrial logging operators are actively clear-cutting near the project area, posing an imminent threat to this wondrous place. Can you chip in to help give the oldest forest in the world a safe future?

            Eko?s contribution to the project will be matched 3x, tripling our impact!


            I'll donate $3
            I'll donate $4
             
            I'll donate $5
            I'll donate $9
            I'll donate another amount


            Borneo?s tropical rainforests are among the oldest and most intact on Earth. They?re critical to global conservation, but have already been reduced by half by the ravenous palm oil and logging industries, and other threats.

            Rainforest Trust is supporting on-the-ground partner Komunitas Konservasi Indonesia Warsi, which has years of experience in the region. The proposed protected area can be found here, where the arrow is pointing, adjoining one of the largest already-protected areas and national parks in Borneo:



            In this area alone over 500 species have been documented, including endangered gibbons (pictured above!) and a variety of hornbills, like the Critically Endangered Helmeted Hornbills here:



            Most Indigenous communities in these remote forest areas are only accessible by boat, and each village will be consulted throughout the project. Our contribution will not only help establish their legal rights, but also ensure that support is provided to these communities for species monitoring and capacity-building on sustainable forest management.


            Can you chip in to protect this forest and help us work on more campaigns just like this one?


            Again, Eko?s contribution to the project will be matched 3x, tripling our impact!


            I'll donate $3
            I'll donate $4
             
            I'll donate $5
            I'll donate $9
            I'll donate another amount


            Your donation will help power Ek? and our campaigns worldwide fighting for people and the planet. Will you chip in?

                        A disturbing new study has revealed that endangered sharks are being hunted and sold to consumers across the United States. DNA testing found that nearly one-third of shark meat products sampled came from endangered or critically endangered species, including hammerheads and shortfin makos. 



                        Sign the petition to demand immediate action from the FDA and NOAA to ban the sale of endangered shark species and crack down on misleading labeling!



                        Sharks are not only vital for healthy oceans ? regulating entire ecosystems as apex predators ? but they are also at grave risk. Populations have already fallen by more than 70% since the 1970s, driven by overfishing, finning, habitat loss, and pollution. Sign the petition to urge regulators to stop the sale of endangered sharks, strengthen labeling laws, and enforce international protections.

Ban the ivory business!

          
                        Japan?s legal ivory market is booming -- and fueling brutal poaching that kills thousands of gentle elephants every year.

                        But for the first time in a generation, Japanese lawmakers are fully reviewing their ivory law and considering a total ban -- and global public pressure can tip the scale.

                        They?re drafting the laws right now -- let?s make our demand clear:

                         JAPAN: BAN IVORY! 
                       
                 


            Every year, tens of thousands of elephants are butchered for their tusks despite a global ivory ban -- and Japan?s massive domestic market remains one of the main drivers.

            But we have a once-in-a-generation chance to change that: Japan is fully reviewing its ivory laws for the first time in 30 years!

            Public pressure has already pushed Japanese companies like Rakuten, Aeon, and Yahoo! Japan to ban ivory sales -- now?s our moment to make the government shut it down altogether.

            They?re drafting the laws now, and with the global endangered species summit coming up in just weeks, it?s our chance to put them in the spotlight. Add your name to protect these gentle giants:

            Tell Japan: shut down the ivory market, save elephant lives.

            Japan?s domestic ivory market is massive -- and it?s all legal. On top of millions of antique ivory items allowed in shops, the Government has an ?official stockpile? of more than 16,000 tusks and 80 tons of cut ivory pieces. That?s thousands of elephants? lives lost just for ivory sitting in storage.

            Every tusk and item sold legally increases the risk that illegal ivory slips through -- investigation after investigation has shown that the presence of ?legal? ivory in Japan creates loopholes that fuel trafficking and poaching.

            But after years of small adjustments, Japanese lawmakers are finally doing a full review. If they act decisively, they could shut down one of the world?s largest legal ivory markets -- and save thousands of elephants from torture. 

            The time to act is now -- the review is almost complete, and environment ministries from around the world will be meeting in just weeks for their annual summit, putting Japan in the spotlight. Add your name and share with animal lovers everywhere:

            Tell Japan: shut down the ivory market, save elephant lives.


            We know our pressure works -- just last year, we forced global tourism giant TUI to introduce a ban on shark-fin transportation on their planes. If we focus our attention on Japan today, we could win again -- and ensure elephants will still be roaming the planet for generations to come.



             JAPAN: BAN IVORY! 
            Thanks for all that you do,

                                A Long Way Home

                                In mid-September, I received an email from a friend in Portland, Oregon. She and her partner would soon be making a trip to Victoria, British Columbia. ?Do you still live there?? she asked. ?We are casually crafting an exit strategy.? When I told her I was about to move back to the States, she responded with a common refrain: ?Why would you move back right now??

                                It?s a question I?ve been struggling to answer. In the 12 years that I?ve lived abroad ? and especially this past year ? I?ve watched as my home country has become more dysfunctional, dangerous, and unjust. Why would I move toward what many others are trying to escape? I still don?t have a great answer, but I think it has to do with a sense of responsibility.

                                I?ve been away a long time, working as a journalist in Australia and Canada. And, more recently, I?d been questioning whether I should bring my acquired skills and knowledge back ?home.? In July, Earth Island Journal offered me an opportunity to do that and return to California ? a place I grew up in and will always love.

                                I would work with Earth Island Institute, a progressive organization founded by the late activist David Brower that values courage, equity, and intersectionality. I would publish stories about grassroots efforts around the globe to protect people and the planet. Despite growing attempts by the Trump administration to silence and punish journalists, the job felt like a way to contribute and fight apathy.

                                I arrived in the San Francisco Bay Area this past Monday, just after Trump ordered the National Guard into Portland (where I had stopped on my drive south and enjoyed a peaceful cappuccino, and a view over a city that was certainly not at war). I don?t blame my friend for wanting to leave in such a political climate, nor would I blame any scientist or service worker or citizen for leaving a place that feels hostile or unsafe. Not contributing tax dollars or talent to an oppressive government is one form of resistance. Another, I think, is staying, or returning to try to help.

                                On my first day at the Journal office in Berkeley, as I was walking up the cement stairwell of the David Brower Center, a quote on the wall from the Indigenous botanist and author Robin Wall Kimmerer caught my eyes, and then my heart: ?To love a place is not enough. We must find ways to heal it.?

                                I?m happy to be in a place, and in a job, dedicated to that kind of healing. I look forward to sharing stories that inform and inspire positive change near and far.

                                Berkeley, California, recently passed regulations requiring residents in certain parts of the city to remove vegetation within five feet of homes to help protect them from wildfires. Maureen Nandini Mitra talks with two wildfire scientists who have concerns about the no-vegetation regulation and how the controversy over it might detract from the more essential and urgent work of implementing other home hardening measures. ??

                        A new study has shocked scientists ? and should alarm the rest of us, too.



                        It found that, when we're indoors or in our cars, every single breath that we take likely contains a high number of microplastics, which are so small that they can burrow deep into our lungs.



                        Many of us are familiar with the scary threats posed by microplastics, which can contaminate our food and drinking water, and even erode from household products. But this newly discovered pathway that these insidious particles use to get into our bodies and lungs is freshly terrifying.



                        It's time for Congress to act. Sign the petition now to demand that Congress lower the cost of HEPA filters and mandate their use everywhere possible!



                        Microplastics have been linked to chronic inflammation in the lungs, "which can lead to lung cancer." So, the fact that we are inhaling them at such a high rate is a problem we need to address head on and immediately.



                        This is a public health crisis with a very simple solution: mandating HEPA filters everywhere to protect all people's health. Sign now to tell Congress: lower the cost of HEPA filters and start mandating their use everywhere!
                       
                 
           
                       
                 Thank you,

      ------------------------------
       
      A new report, edited by *Felix Dodds and Chris Spence* and published
      by *Stakeholder
      Forum for a Sustainable Future, *has been released: *?UN80: Reform of the
      Multilateral Environmental Agreements: Around the Triple Planetary Crisis
      of Pollution, Biodiversity and Climate Change?.*
      <https://stakeholderforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/SDG-2030-Series-Report-No-5-Clustering-MEAs.pdf>
      The report has a reflection by former UNEP Executive Director *Liz
      Dowdeswell.*
       
      The approach is to build on the work of clustering environmental
      conventions started by *Klaus Toepfer* when he was the Executive Director
      of UNEP and continued with success by *Achim Steiner* when he was Executive
      Director of UNEP creating the super COP on chemicals and waste, which
      provides a proof of concept that we could rally around for the other parts
      of the Triple Planetary Crisis of climate change, biodiversity, and
      chemicals and waste. Achim Steiner went on, as you know, to initiate the
      process of clustering the biodiversity convention, which his successor did
      not continue.
       
      With the UN 80 Initiative suggesting that the UNFCCC be placed under UNEP,
      the possibility of revisiting the idea of clustering MEAs has been reopened.
       
      The report collects articles that appeared in the Inter Press Service over
      the past two months:

      Clustering the Major Environmental Agreements?

      includes
      what I can offer in support of organizations wanting to engage in UN
      processes.
       
      I chaired the first UN conference that introduced indicative Sustainable
      Development Goals, co-directed the 2014 Nexus Conference on
      water?food?energy?climate (which helped secure recognition of the
      interlinkages between SDGs and their targets), set up the Water and Climate
      Coalition at the UNFCCC (2007), advised Ford Foundation grantees during the
      SDG and Habitat III processes, and established the multistakeholder
      coalition that secured SDG 11 ? among many other initiatives.
       
      If your organization wants to strengthen its UN engagement, I offer
      consulting services including:
       
      - Reviewing and updating your UN strategy
      - Producing tailored engagement reports
      - Capacity building and staff training
      - Mentorship for maximizing impact at UN meetings

      (December
      8-12)*
       
      The world continues to face mounting challenges on climate and
      sustainability, especially due to recent shifts in U.S. policy. Rather than
      accelerating toward a 1.5-degree world, we must begin to confront what a
      2?2.5-degree world will look like ? and adjust policies accordingly.
       
      COP30 and UNEA 7 offer critical opportunities to consolidate, regroup, and
      push for genuine progress on the SDGs, climate action, and biodiversity.

      Mental health is more than a medical issue. The cost of neglect is staggering, with over a trillion dollars drained from the global economy each year, while the price of care, in many places, is little more than a few dollars.

It is also part of the basic fabric of inclusion, the chance for communities to function with dignity rather than fracture under strain. Broader financing for mental health is not a luxury, but a necessity in a region where disasters, chronic stress, and underfunded systems erode both productivity and dignity.
       
       
       
      What unites these disparate voices, health specialists, safeguards officers, statisticians, is the conviction that policy choices do not just build roads and economies, they shape human destiny.

                        Just transition in wartime, environmental activism 
during russia's full scale invasion, locusts and the war, the ramsar split, 
new sanctions


                                Just transition in wartime, environmental 
activism during russia's full scale invasion, locusts and the war, the 
ramsar split, new sanctions








                                Dear Friends!

                                On September 19, the European Union approved 
a new package of sanctions against Russia. In particular, this package 
envisages a complete ban on imports of Russian liquefied natural gas into 
the EU starting in January 2027 (previously, the ban was planned to be 
introduced the following year), as well as more severe sanctions against 
intermediary companies, Russia?s ?shadow fleet?, and Russian companies 
Rosneft and Gazprom Neft. Earlier, on September 9, the European Parliament 
noted Ukraine?s progress towards European integration, while also calling on 
the country not to lower its ambitions. For example, it encouraged the 
Ukrainian government to pay attention to compliance with European 
environmental and nature conservation standards. European MEPs called for 
all possible support for initiatives and organizations involved in analyzing 
the environmental consequences of the war. In August 2025, the Ukrainian 
government presented a 2025-2026 action plan, aimed at further progress 
toward European integration. Ukrainian environmental organizations have 
critically assessed it and noted areas for improvement. Read more about 
these events and decisions, as well as how Kamianska Sich National Park is 
experiencing Russia?s full-scale invasion, in our regular review:


                                a.. Environmental consequences of the war in 
Ukraine. August-September 2025

                                Sanctions against Russia will be effective 
when Ukraine itself reduces its dependence on fossil fuels. However, this is 
not an easy decision for a country that has relied on the wealth of its coal 
industry for many years. The abandonment of fossil fuel production should 
not be accompanied by the destruction and stagnation of coal-mining regions 
and single-industry towns. To this end, just transition programs are needed. 
Read about just transition strategies being implemented in Ukraine, despite 
the ongoing full-scale Russian invasion, in Inga Pavliy?s article, part of 
our series examining Ukraine?s coal industry:

                                a.. Just transition for coal-mining 
communities: What is it and how does it work in wartime Ukraine?

                                We are also launching a series about how 
environmental activists and organizations in Eastern Europe are surviving 
amid war, repression, funding cuts, and political pressure. The first 
article focuses on the situation in Belarus. In 2021, following the protests 
in 2020, most environmental organizations in the country were forced to shut 
down. Some activists, experts, and journalists were arrested, while others 
were forced to leave Belarus to continue their work, and still others went 
into hiding, refusing to engage in any visible activity. Almost five years 
have passed, and the situation in the country has not improved. There are 
still over 1,200 recognized political prisoners, among them environmental 
activists. Read about how Belarusian environmental organizations are coping 
with repression, the war in Ukraine, and their own challenges in the first 
article in this series:

                                a.. Environmental and climate activism in 
Belarus, Ukraine, and Georgia during Russia's full-scale invasion. Part One

                                Another serious problem this year for 
Ukraine was a locust invasion. Recalling biblical legends, it was even 
labeled an ?Egyptian? invasion. However, as expert Stanislav Vitter notes, 
we are not talking about Egyptian locusts, but migratory locusts (Locusta 
migratoria). Apart from climate change, one factor contributing to their 
abnormal spread is Russia?s full-scale invasion. The destruction and 
draining of the Kakhovka Reservoir created favorable conditions for a spike 
in their population. The lack of monitoring and preventive measures, as well 
as any management whatsoever in the occupied territories, allowed the 
locusts to actively reproduce and spread throughout Ukraine. If controls are 
not implemented in the near future, next year could also be disastrous. Read 
more in Viter?s article:

                                a.. Invaders from the steppes: Locusts and 
the war in Ukraine

                                Our experts continue to analyze the 
consequences of Russia?s demarch? and its withdrawal from the Ramsar 
Convention. A general trend in today?s authoritarian governments abandoning 
international environmental agreements could have serious consequences. And 
although the Russian government recently ordered increased domestic 
protections for wetlands, this does not mean that the situation has 
stabilized. Fifteen wetlands in occupied territories in Ukraine should 
continue to be protected under the Ramsar Convention, but their situation 
remains problematic. Eugene Simonov and Angelina Davydova examine the 
problem:

                                a.. The Ramsar split?was it inevitable, and 
what should be done next?

        An intriguing behavior of global rain
        an exercise
                          Alpha Lo

                          Oct 6









                   READ IN APP





        A famous scientist Konrad Lorenz, who studied animal behavior, used 
to give his students the assignment to watch animals and see what patterns 
they would notice. He would sometimes have them sit in front of a fish tank 
for a long time and write down what behavior they noticed, without 
referencing their school knowledge. The idea was to increase their ability 
to notice things, and also make conjectures about what they noticed.

        Now you can do a similar exercise with the water cycle. One 
interesting exercise is to look at the evolution of rainfall across the 
globe over time, and see what patterns you notice. There?s a website you can 
do this on called Ventusky.com. The site gives you these beautiful pictures 
of wind patterns, temperature, humidity, and pressure around the globe. You 
can then click play and watch as these variables change over time. See what 
you notice.

        A while back as I was doing this, I noticed that there was a thin 
stream of rain that occurred around the equator, which was there most of the 
time. Around the rest of the earth, the rainfall movement followed these 
flowy plume-like shapes, moving for a while, and then disappearing. There 
were tendrils that grew, swirled, and then vanished.

        As I was watching, I noticed that there seemed to be a lot of 
rainfall always over the Amazon, a little south of the thin equatorial 
stripe of rain. Why was this? Well this seemed to me evidence that the 
Amazon rainforest is generating its own rain. Usually in other places the 
rain gets blown all over the place, but the rainfall over the Amazon is 
steadier because the forest is continually transpiring. The forest can 
absorb a lot more rainfall, and then over time it can release moisture from 
its leaves back into the atmosphere.

        I wondered if I would see a similar pattern over the Congo 
rainforest too. As I studied these time lapse videos more, I noticed the 
Congo rainforest also had a steady pulse of rain over it. And around the 
Indonesian archipelago, there were also rainfall patches that remained 
steady. I wondered, why was that? Was there a rainforest there too? I hadn?t 
heard of a rainforest there before.

        So I looked it up, and lo and behold there was a rainforest there; 
the Indonesian rainforest is the third largest rainforest in the world after 
the Amazon and Congo rainforests!

        Here is a timelapse video I made of the rainfall on the Ventusky 
site. It shows how the rain patterns evolve over a month.

                                Dear subscribers,

                                CAN EECCA has prepared an overview of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in the region ? most countries still rely heavily on fossil fuels and need more ambitious climate targets.

                                Kyrgyzstan is drafting its first Climate Action Law, Belarus bets on eco-tourism, and Taiwan increases its reliance on Russian oil, raising energy and economic risks. Globally, rising costs in Bel?m threaten participation of vulnerable countries at COP30, while new research shows extreme heat is intensifying faster than climate models predict.

                                Best regards,
                                CAN EECCA Communications Manager

                                News from the EECCA Region

                                 
                             
                       
                 
                                 
                             
                       
                 
                                NDC Review in EECCA: Key Findings and Country Recommendations
                                CAN EECCA, in partnership with the Friedrich Ebert Foundation (FES), released an analysis of current NDCs across Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, covering Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Moldova. Most countries remain dependent on fossil fuels and require more ambitious emission reduction targets.
                                Climate Action Law: Why Kyrgyzstan Needs It Right Now
                                The new law lays the foundation for national climate policy, introducing concepts like mitigation, adaptation, and carbon neutrality, while establishing reporting mechanisms and enabling climate finance. Linked to the recently updated NDC 3.0, it reflects Kyrgyzstan?s goal to reach carbon neutrality by 2050.

                                Belarus Overhauls Tourism, Focuses on Eco-Tourism
                                Belarus has restructured its tourism sector, moving the National Tourism Agency from the Ministry of Sports to direct government oversight. The goal is to double the sector?s GDP contribution to 4.5% by 2030. Authorities emphasize eco-tourism, wellness, and cultural routes, though environmentalists warn that increased visitor flows may harm natural areas without strict regulation.

                                Taiwan Increases Dependence on Russian Oil, Raising Risks
                                In the first half of 2025, Taiwan became the largest importer of Russian oil, spending $1.3 billion and effectively channeling $1.7 billion to Russia?s budget. A joint study by CREA, ERF, EcoDefence!, and Urgewald warns that this dependence threatens Taiwan?s energy and economic security. Russian oil is used in semiconductor production, leaving the industry vulnerable to sanctions and geopolitical shocks.

                                Drought Drives Kazakhstan?s Agriculture to Adapt
                                Climate change intensifies water scarcity, threatening crop yields and rural resilience. Water management expert Madina Musaeva emphasizes that without modern irrigation and new agricultural technologies, Kazakhstan risks severe agricultural losses. Transitioning to drought-resistant crops and rational water use becomes crucial.

                                Seminar in Tbilisi on New Environmental Assessment Law
                                On October 28, the German Business Association (DWV) and Ecometer will host a seminar on changes to Georgia?s Environmental Assessment Law and its business implications. Participants will learn new requirements, risk reduction strategies, and practical examples of adaptation.
                                Almaty Seminar on Water-Related Climate Risks
                                On October 10, Almaty hosts the fourth session in the ?Education and Climate Adaptation? series, focusing on water-related threats such as droughts, floods, heatwaves, and glacier melt.

                                Preparations for COP30 in Bel?m, Brazil, face high prices and housing shortages. Vulnerable and developing nations report they may send smaller delegations due to costs, weakening their influence at negotiations.
                                Extreme Heat Intensifies Faster Than Climate Models Predict
                                A new PNAS study finds that extreme temperatures are rising faster than current climate models estimate, in some cases four times faster. This underestimation increases real-world risks for heatwaves, mortality, and ecosystems.
                                Fossil Fuel Finance Drops, Clean Energy Support Lags
                                CETP reports a 78% reduction in international fossil fuel financing over two years. However, released funds are not sufficiently redirected to renewables, and loopholes allow continued support for coal, oil, and gas.

                                Greetings, friends and allies -



                                As our movement reaches key milestones on the road to COP30, we let you in on all the critical motions on rivers, oceans, and Antarctica being presented at the IUCN World Conservation Congress, reflect on Climate Week NYC, and groundbreaking legal advances. Yet, amid this progress, we cannot ignore the alarming situation unfolding in Ecuador, where hard-won protections, like those safeguarding the Los Cedros cloud forest, are under threat from sweeping legal reforms. These attacks remind us that the Rights of Nature must not only be enshrined but fiercely defended.



                                Read on to explore these stories, learn about new opportunities to engage, and join us in strengthening a global movement rooted in justice, reciprocity, and the flourishing of all life.

                                From 9?12 October 2025, the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Abu Dhabi will decide the future of global conservation policy. This year, Rights of Nature is at the center of critical motions: Recognizing the rights of Antarctica, transforming our relationship with the ocean, protecting rivers as living entities, promoting coexistence & ecological recovery, and perationalizing Rights of Nature in real territories. Why it matters: these motions influence international law, shape biodiversity policy, and strengthen the recognition of ecosystems as living communities with their own rights.

                                For the past three years, UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP) has been hosted by oil-producing nations (Egypt 2022, UAE 2023, and Azerbaijan 2024) where civil society participation and activism faced significant limitations. COP30 in 2025 in Brazil marks a significant shift. Brazil, an Amazonian country with a government open to civil society and with existing Rights of Nature legislation, offers a strategic opportunity to amplify the Rights of Nature movement globally.



                                GARN will be advocating inside and outside COP30 for the recognition of the Rights of Nature, a systemic solution to climate change, biodiversity loss, ecosystem destruction.

                                From September 21?26, GARN joined civil society in New York City for Climate Week, bringing the Rights of Nature movement to the heart of global climate conversations. Across powerful gatherings, GARN amplified Indigenous leadership, grassroots voices, and legal innovation, from the Indigenous Council?s call to action on the inseparability of Indigenous rights and Nature?s rights, to the International Rights of Nature Tribunal?s landmark verdict against the Mountain Valley Pipeline.

                                "In the global journey to recognize the Rights of Nature, I have found my life's purpose, particularly through the use of marine and ecological science to justify and exemplify this powerful legal framework in practice, and in GARN, I have found a family, an international team on this same mission, working together to provide Nature with the ultimate level of legal protection. Recognition like this, coming from a family I admire so deeply, is the greatest encouragement to carry on together, for Nature"

                        Powerful AI comes with catastrophic risks ? but Big Tech billionaires love to ?move fast and break things?.

                        With the stroke of her pen, New York Governor Hochul could make a massive difference to mitigate the risks of AI going rogue.

                        Ask the Governor to sign the Responsible AI Safety and Education (RAISE) Act into law.

                         Sign the petition 
                       
                 
            Artificial Intelligence (AI) could teach a beginner to make a biological weapon or even trigger a deadly pandemic ? and that?s what the companies who make chatbots say!

            Right now, a bill to help prevent such nightmare scenarios is on New York Governor Hochul?s desk, but a tiny bunch of tech oligarchs is lobbying to stop her from signing it into law.

            The Responsible AI Safety and Education (RAISE) Act passed the New York State Legislature with overwhelming bipartisan support in June. Polls show 84% of New Yorkers also support the bill?s goals. Still, it?s not a done deal. Tech billionaires could sink the bill if we don?t raise our voices to counter their spin:

            Ask Governor Hochul to sign the RAISE Act, because the risks for us all are just too much to leave it up to Big Tech. 

            The RAISE Act would make new rules for AI titans like Elon Musk's xAI, OpenAI, Google, and Meta ? corporations training AI software with eye-watering amounts of computing power. Instead of making it up as they go, those ?large developers? would be forced to take more care about the catastrophic risks of AI, and would face serious fines if they break the rules.

            Just in the last month, Amazon?s Jeff Bezos and OpenAI?s Sam Altman have admitted that there?s an AI investment bubble. As the bubble threatens to burst, the pressure on AI companies to cut corners, cover up mistakes, or ignore warnings is only going to increase. We urgently need this law.

            It?s not perfect, but no law is. The RAISE Act makes meaningful progress on AI safety, and would continue to build a state movement to properly govern AI in the absence of any US federal legislation.

            Ask the New York Governor to sign the RAISE Act into law, to mitigate the risks of AI going rogue.

            Big Tech?s lobbying bulldozer succeeded in California last year, but people power built back and helped secure an AI Safety win there just days ago. Let?s all lend a hand, and RAISE the bar on AI regulation.

Dear AWS members,
thank you for your efforts,
the latest scientific researches show that it is not enough to reduce GHG to stabilize the climate - it is necessary to restore the natural basis of the climate - natural ecosystems. The role of forests should also be reviewed - they are not only carbon sinks, but perform much more important functions in regulating global water flows and clouds- factors that are practically not taken into account in climate policies.  

Here is an Appeal to the international community on these issues.

  Dear Alliance of World Scientist member,

  There have been two historic Scientists? Warnings to Humanity so far?first in 1992 and again 25 years later in 2017:

    1.. Union of Concerned Scientists (1992). World Scientists? Warning to Humanity. Cambridge, MA: Union of Concerned Scientists.
    2.. Ripple, W. J. et al. (2017). World Scientists? Warning to Humanity: A Second Notice. BioScience 67(12): 1026?1028 https://doi.org/10.1093/biosci/bix125
  Now, on the tenth anniversary of the 2017 paper which has been cited ~1000 times and viewed more than 800k times, we are planning to publish a Third Scientists? Warning to Humanity in early 2027 focusing on the environment, climate, and social and gender justice. As before, we hope to gather thousands of scientist signatories from around the world and this process will take months.

  We invite you to help shape this new warning. Please send us a short paragraph (up to 200 words) with your ideas on what themes, data, declarations, or calls to action should be included in this paper. Send your email to me at scientistswarning at oregonstate.edu

  Thank you for being part of this global scientific movement to protect our planet.

  Warm regards,
  Bill Ripple
  William J. Ripple, Distinguished Professor and Director, Alliance of World Scientists
  Oregon State University

   The Alliance of World Scientists (AWS) provides the collective international voice of thousands of scientists regarding the global climate crisis and environmental trends with the intent to turn accumulated knowledge into action. We have 27,000 subscribing scientist members from 180 countries.

                        Vladimir,



                        After an avian flu outbreak at an ostrich farm in British Columbia, the Canadian government informed the farm that it had to cull the infected ostriches ? at least 400 animals in total. But it wasn't the innocent ostriches' fault that humans had crammed them in farmed conditions where diseases run rampant!

                        Ostriches are farmed throughout North America for their meat, feathers, leather, and natural oils. These elements are all extracted from their bodies for use in kitchens, the fashion industry, and by cosmetics companies. Why are we still cruelly farming and exploiting animals when there are so many alternative, non-animal based products we could use instead?

                        The more we keep avian animals captive, the more zoonotic diseases will continue to spread. And as a result, the more farmers and legislators will be forced to make incredibly difficult decisions about which animals to cull and how to protect others from the spread of devastating diseases like avian flu. We have to keep both animals and humans safe from this horrible cycle!

                        The only way to actually address this problem is to end the outdated and awful practice of ostrich farming for good. Sign the petition now if you agree!


                       
                 
           
                       
                 Thank you,

                        P.S. Canadians and Americans alike protested the ordered killing and, luckily, a top Canadian court has temporarily halted the culling. But the root of the problem remains: ostrich farming should not be legal in Canada. Sign the petition.

                                SMOKE BILLOWED FROM the sugar stacks. The vegetal rot of processed sugarbeets wafted over the interstate. The vinegar aftertaste coated my throat. Stung my nostrils. The sharp scent of sugary wastewater seeped into my pores. Outside my Toyota pickup, the wind blew across fields crusted with December snow and salts. It was my first North Dakota winter in three years. My first drive along the Red River since leaving my career as an American literature professor in New England to assume my position as a soil conservationist in my home county. The smell from the sugar stacks along I-29 was a reminder of how long I?d been gone. It would take a week for me to reacclimate to the noxious odor that the sugar industry has rescripted as ?the sweet smell of jobs.?


                                Like many folks from the rural Great Plains, I?ve left home more times than I can count.? But the prairie and my father?s long battle with multiple sclerosis have perennially called me home.


                                The chipped-tooth border between North Dakota and Minnesota is a landscape dominated by salt and sugar. We grow more processed sugar in the Red River Valley than anywhere else in the country. The American Crystal Sugar factories that line the Red River produce 3 billion pounds of processed sugar per year. The industrial methods used to grow sugarbeets and other monoculture cash crops leave behind patches of water-soluble salts trapped on the surface of compacted soils. These saline conditions spread across bare fields that were once tallgrass prairie, the biodiverse grasslands replaced by growing patches of salted earth, where almost nothing grows.


                                An aerial view of my home in flyover country bears resemblance to the MRI scans of my father?s brain and spinal cord. The salt crust on black fields mirrors the plaque that builds up along dad?s myelin sheath. The chisel plows that cut through dense networks of mycorrhizal fungi, ritually destroying the soil microbiome, are akin to my father?s confused immune system that attacks the protective fatty tissue around his nerve fibers and spine.


                                It?s been three years since that winter homecoming. Today, in my dual roles as a soil conservationist and my father?s caregiver, I have begun to dream about an alternative to the monoculture economies that poison the land and our bodies.


                                Writer Josh Anderson explores the deep connections between human health and soil health, and his vision for a thriving Great Plains prairie ecosystem that supports both.

                                Betting on the climate has become a multimillion-dollar industry in the last few years. At times, it ?may look like a harmless numbers game, but it raises deeper questions about which events should ? or should not ? be open to speculation.?

                                Genome editing has become a deceptively simple process, allowing humans to make fruits sweeter, edit sterility into pests, and alter traits like eye color with little more than a prod of a syringe. New applications may offer ways to prevent the extinction of threatened species. But even if we could use gene editing to save animals, should we?

                                A year after Hurricane Helene ravaged the US southeast, many rural homeowners are still navigating red tape as they attempt to access federal aid. Among the people who have successfully managed to get housing assistance, it?s those with the highest incomes who often receive the most support.

                                In August 2020, the cargo ship Gulf Livestock 1 headed straight into the path of a Category 4 typhoon in the Philippine Sea, carrying 43 crew and 5,867 dairy cattle. The aging livestock carrier never made it out of the storm, and all but two of the crew died, along with every single cow. This was the worst disaster in the history of the live-export trade and highlighted the dangers of the industry. Yet, five years later, the brutal farm animal trade continues.

Message-ID: <assp.03802c4480.0EF749A9D8F1443A9CBE68635A08E062@lewpostnew>

                       
                 
           
                        California just set the standard.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        California Just Took a Major Step in Saving Migratory Birds. The Rest of the U.S. Must Follow.

                        California just took a historic step to protect migratory birds with a new law reinstating the California Migratory Bird Protection Act. This legislation safeguards over 1,000 native bird species, from the majestic bald eagle to the fragile sandhill crane, that are essential to our ecosystems and our planet's biodiversity.



                        Sign the petition to demand that every state adopt legislation mirroring California's Migratory Bird Protection Act to safeguard migratory species for generations to come!



                        Protection for these birds shouldn't end at California's borders. Across the U.S., habitat destruction, pollution, and policy rollbacks are pushing migratory bird populations to the brink. More than three billion birds have vanished from North America in just the last 50 years ? a staggering loss with devastating ecological consequences. Sign now to call on all U.S. governors and state legislators to follow California's lead and make the Migratory Bird Protection Act permanent across every state.

                                Dear subscribers,

                                Russia and Belarus continue to withdraw from 
international environmental agreements, weakening civil society?s ability to 
influence climate policy. Meanwhile, Armenia updates its climate 
commitments, Kazakh students develop projects to adapt to climate change, 
and Kyrgyzstan publishes its first transparency report on climate action.

                                Global news highlights include inequities in 
climate finance for the Global South, a rise in climate-related lawsuits, 
and local initiatives successfully cutting emissions.

                                Best regards,
                                CAN EECCA Communications Manager

                                Aggressor Countries Leaving Environmental 
Agreements Undermine Conservation Efforts
                                Russia and Belarus continue exiting 
international environmental conventions, citing ?discrimination? by partners 
after the full-scale war in Ukraine. Experts warn this undermines global 
environmental cooperation and strips civil society of tools to influence 
domestic policy.
                                Armenia Releases Draft Updated NDC
                                Armenia?s updated NDC commits to 
unconditional greenhouse gas reductions of 44% and conditional cuts of 52% 
by 2035 compared to 1990 levels. The plan highlights the economy?s 
vulnerability due to reliance on imported fossil fuels and emphasizes 
strengthening national adaptation capacity.
                                Kazakh Students Launch Climate Adaptation 
Projects
                                In Balkhash, students are designing 
innovative projects to address climate challenges. Initiatives include smart 
greenhouses, climate monitoring systems, and studies on soil and weather 
impacts on plant growth, showcasing youth-led solutions to environmental 
problems.
                                Kyrgyzstan Publishes First Climate Action 
Transparency Report
                                The Ministry of Natural Resources, Ecology, 
and Technical Supervision released the country?s first biennial transparency 
report. In 2023, Kyrgyzstan emitted 19.38 million tons of CO?-equivalent, 
while ecosystems absorbed 10.31 million tons. Transparent reporting builds 
trust and opens avenues for renewable energy, energy efficiency, and 
sustainable development investments.
                                Astrakhan Faces Desertification Amid Climate 
Crisis
                                In Russia?s Astrakhan region, fertile fields 
are turning to sand. Dust storms are now common, and villages like Barkhany 
are literally being buried. Locals link desertification to the collapse of 
collective farms, which ended irrigation and state support.
                                Georgia Advances Climate-Resilient 
Agriculture
                                Farmers in Marneuli are adopting drip 
irrigation, drought-resistant crops, and reduced pesticide use to save water 
and improve yields. The women-led ?Green Eternity? cooperative shares these 
practices, helping spread sustainable solutions across the country.

                                ?NDC Death Loop? Highlights Climate Finance 
Injustice for Global South
                                Ahead of COP30, experts warn that the NDC 
system faces a crisis. Countries of the Global South say constant pressure 
to raise ambition without financial or technical support creates a cycle of 
promises and disappointment. Analysts suggest linking NDCs to real 
investment plans, industrial development, and a just transition.
                                Two-Thirds of Climate Finance to Global 
South Comes as Loans
                                A report by Oxfam and CARE shows 65% of 
climate funding for developing countries is provided as loans, not grants. 
Countries must repay $1.40 for every $1 received, worsening debt and 
limiting climate action. Wealthy nations benefit, while least developed 
countries and small island states receive less than a quarter of funds.
                                Global Climate Litigation Surpasses 3,000 
Cases
                                As of June 2025, 3,099 climate-related 
lawsuits have been recorded worldwide, up from 2,180 in 2022. Cases focus on 
human rights, greenwashing, and corporate emissions responsibility. UNEP 
notes courts are becoming key instruments for climate accountability and 
just transition.
                                Research Shows Local Climate Projects 
Deliver Strongest Results
                                Grassroots initiatives in the US and Canada, 
from wind farms in New York to heat pumps in Maine and blocking the Keystone 
XL pipeline, have avoided tens of millions of tons of emissions at low cost. 
Local engagement often makes projects more effective and sustainable.

      Anger at delay of deforestation regulation
      "Suggestions that it might not be completed one year later are simply 
unacceptable.?

      Hello and welcome to the Ek? newsletter. Today we?re covering the 
EUDR, a ceasefire in Gaza, the White House?s pro-industry policy, and a 
tipping point for the planet.

      Regulation on time


      A long-awaited EU regulation could face another delay?and that 
possibility has multiple stakeholders united in opposition.

      The European Commission is weighing a yearlong delay of the EU 
Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), citing IT system readiness as the reason. 
This comes after a prior yearlong delay that called for giving industry more 
time to come into compliance with the law.

      Left and center-left MEPs are rejecting that logic, noting that the 
commission already had a year to get things sorted. And groups like the WWF 
are rejecting the excuse:

      ?We find it astonishing that the EU would not have the resources and 
capability to build and operate the infrastructure required for the 
functioning of the EUDR. This infrastructure should have been in place 
already at the end of 2024 and suggestions that it might not be completed 
one year later are simply unacceptable.?

      This time, they?re joined by unlikely allies?corporations and business 
interests who want to tap down on uncertainty. In a representative example, 
Nestl?, Mars Wrigley, and a number of fellow food companies and their 
suppliers, as well as NGOs, said in an open letter that another delay ?puts 
at risk the preservation of forests worldwide, will accelerate climate 
change impacts, and undermines trust in Europe?s regulatory commitments.?

      ?For the EU to go back, don?t you think that it?s going to have 
negative repercussions on the farmers and the government and on our 
resources???Leticia Yankey, a cocoa farmer in Ghana

      (Reuters) (Mighty Earth) (WWF) (Food Navigator)

      In other news
      Ceasefire is the first step

      A fragile peace is taking hold in Gaza. But the ceasefire is only the 
first step, Palestinians and their supporters say.

      As Palestinian prisoners are released and Gazans return to their 
homes, questions remain about what a post-genocide future looks like in the 
territory?and how the people will rebuild. Massive infrastructure projects 
will be needed to return the strip to even an approximation of what it was 
on October 6, 2023.

      Further complicating matters, some reports indicate that Israel may 
have a backdoor built into the deal allowing it to restart hostilities over 
the hostage release (other sources have denied this).

      (AP) (Mondoweiss) (Middle East Monitor)

      Concierge service

      A senior US energy official revealed to the Washington Post that the 
Trump White House is offering fossil fuel companies what amounts to 
?concierge, white glove service? for project approval. The comments from 
Brittany Kelm, National Energy Dominance Council senior policy adviser, came 
in an August edition of the Lobby Shop podcast.

      The White House told the Washington Post that the president?s policy 
of ?drill baby drill? would continue.

      ?It?s a lot of undoing old policies and getting rid of regulatory 
burdens.??Kelm

      (the Washington Post)

      Tipping over?

      A report from 160 scientists in 23 countries claims that the world has 
reached a catastrophic climate crisis tipping point?the first of what could 
be a disastrous chain of events.

      The Global Tipping Points report for 2025 found that coral reefs are 
declining, with bleaching a main concern. While some experts questioned the 
outlook on reef health, all agree that more action is needed to protect the 
vital underwater ecosystems.

      It shows the need to cut greenhouse gases aggressively.

      ?We can no longer talk about tipping points as a future risk. The 
first tipping of widespread dieback of warm water coral reefs is already 
under way.??Professor Tim Lenton, University of Exeter Global Systems 
Institute

      (Global Tipping Points) (the Guardian)

      Here?s your campaign of the day


      Women?s tampons and other period products have 40 times more 
glyphosate than the legal limit for drinking water, a new study from PAN UK 
and Women?s Environmental Network has found.

      UK leaders could make a difference?but only if we let them know it?s a 
priority.

                        Corporations are finally being held accountable for their role in poisoning the public with PFAS, also known as 'forever chemicals.'

                        In a huge victory for public health and environmental protection, the state of New Jersey sued multiple giant PFAS-producing corporations.  Now, Chemours, DuPont, and Corteva will pay $875 million over the course of 25 years. While this is a great step forward, what we really need is something far more basic: a complete ban on PFAS!

                        The research is clear: PFAS are incredibly dangerous and linked to horrifying, sometimes even fatal, health problems. Exposure can lead to developing various cancers, contribute to autoimmune diseases and infertility, and precipitate chronic organ problems. Such toxic chemicals have no place on our planet.

                        The scary part is that most people have already been exposed to PFAS. In fact, the vast majority of Americans even have PFAS in their blood. PFAS are everywhere, from waterproof clothing, to non-stick pans and flame retardants, to even the packaging that our food comes in. It is almost impossible for consumers to avoid these products, and once forever chemicals are in our blood or our watersheds, they're incredibly difficult to get out.

                        PFAS are still poisoning the public to this day, and these settlements are like a bandaid on a gaping, growing wound. Sign now to demand that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finally ban PFAS for good!

            Petition 
            DRC: People and nature in eastern Congo need peace!
            Dear friends of the rainforests,

            The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) faces a crisis that demands immediate international attention.

            Over the next few days, we?ll be presenting three urgent petitions addressing interconnected threats to Congo?s people and forests. Each petition tackles a different aspect of this crisis, but all are linked by a common thread: the future of one of the world?s most vital ecosystems hangs in the balance.

            Armed conflict in eastern DRC has displaced more than 7 million people and created a humanitarian catastrophe. The fighting has also devastated regions that are biodiversity hotspots and home to critically endangered mountain gorillas, eastern lowland gorillas, and chimpanzees.

            The violence is fueled by competition for Congo?s valuable natural resources ? minerals, timber, and land. Forests are destroyed, protected areas are militarized, and conservation efforts collapse when communities are forced to flee.

            Peace isn?t just a humanitarian necessity, it?s an environmental imperative. Without security and stability, there can be no effective forest protection, no sustainable development, and no future for the region?s extraordinary biodiversity.

            Please sign the petition: People and nature in eastern Congo need peace!

                  TAKE ACTION  
                  Thanks for being involved,

                  John Hayduska

              Democratic Republic of the Congo: 
            In places plagued by violence, disorder, and hardship, nature is especially at risk. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, its rich biodiversity and the appeal of highly profitable resources further heighten the danger.

      A coup in Madagascar after popular anger

      Hello and welcome to the Ek? newsletter. Today we?re covering Madagascar, Gaza, whales, and deforestation.

      Island nation change
             

      Gen Z-led protests in Madagascar opened the door for the toppling of the country?s government by military coup, the latest development in the island nation?s contentious politics. 

      President Andry Rajoelina left the country on Tuesday after being pushed out by the army and a vote to impeach in the nation?s parliament. But it was the weeks of protest, led by youth, that forced the hand of the country?s institutions. 

      Now, with a military-led government in charge, the immediate future of Madagascar is uncertain. International mining interests and the vanilla industry, in particular, are watching to see what will become of their contracts in the nation. 

      Anger has been growing in Madagascar for some time. A 15% reciprocal tariff put in place by the US hit an already beleaguered economy in a country where more than two-thirds of the population live in poverty. And reports of abuses, violations, and pollution in the mining sector only increased the unrest.

      Forest crisis

      A new Forest Declaration Assessment report, part of an annual publication documenting the 145-country signed Forest Declaration in 2021, finds that the world is ?off track on halting and reversing deforestation by 2030.? 

      According to the report, deforestation is continuing at or about the same levels it was since the beginning of the decade, a sobering?and depressing?state of affairs. Not only are nations mainly failing to address the crisis, they?re not putting enough money and energy behind what efforts are in place.

      Uneasy peace

      The ceasefire is in effect and Gazans are returning to what?s left of their homes?and trying to rebuild. 

      That will be hard. Aid distribution is already hitting snags due to the utter destruction of local infrastructure in the territory and Israel is now cutting aid over what it sees as insufficient actions on the part of Hamas to return hostages. 

      ?If we don?t see more access, we will just be maintaining the status quo at best. We won?t see a reduction in looting and we will see more displacement as people move to where there is more aid.??Katy Crosby, Mercy Corps senior director of policy and advocacy 

      (Middle East Eye) (NPR) (The Guardian)

      Stuck cetaceans

      Large whale entanglements in US waters are on the rise, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said. 

      In 2024, there were 95 confirmed entanglements, a 48% rise from 2023. The vast majority, 77, were humpback whales. People tried to help the animals, responding to 37 incidents and freeing 11 whales. One whale died and four self-released.

      In a move that could make things worse for our sea creature friends, Republicans in the US Congress are trying to weaken the 1972 Marine Mammal Protection Act. The effort is supported by fishing interests on both coasts.

      (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) (Smithsonian) (ABC)

      Here?s your campaign of the day
             

      It?s not every day you have the opportunity to institute a global billionaire tax?but for South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, the opportunity is here. Ramaphosa is the current president of the G20 and could put such a tax at the top of the group?s agenda. 

      Just a 2% global tax could raise $250 billion a year, a life-changing amount of money for people around the world. 

      President Ramaphosa?the time is now!

brands are profiting off of the Amazon?s destruction. We have to stop them.
          
                        A new investigation shows that leather used by Coach, Gucci, and Balenciaga is linked to cattle raised on recently deforested Amazon land.

                        The brands can still shift to verified, deforestation-free suppliers - if enough of us join this fight.

                        Add your name to urge them to drop Amazon-linked leather.

                         Sign the petition 
                       
                 


            The Amazon is being chainsawed so Coach and other luxury brands can sell handbags worth thousands of dollars.

            A new investigation shows that Coach, Gucci, Balenciaga, and other luxury labels source leather from suppliers linked to illegally deforested land in Par?, where, ironically, world leaders are about to travel for a massive climate conference.

            Luxury brands like these are built on their public image: if we come together, we can make them drop the dirty suppliers. A global movement can push these companies in the right direction:

            Tell Coach, Gucci, and other luxury brands to stop profiting from Amazon destruction.

            The numbers are staggering. Par? alone has lost 18.6 million hectares of forest - an area twice the size of Portugal - mostly to cattle pasture. Every hectare bulldozed pushes the Amazon closer to a point where it might start drying out from within, turning into open, fire-prone grassland.

            Meanwhile, luxury sales stay sky-high: Coach?s revenue surpassed the $5 billion mark.

            If we let fashion giants keep hiding behind glossy campaigns while their supply chains destroy the planet, we could lose another huge piece of the Amazon in the next decade, taking with it a huge store of carbon and accelerating global heating.

            The planet is heating, the climate crisis is worsening, and we?re running out of time. Act now:

            Tell Coach, Gucci, and other luxury brands to choose deforestation-free leather now.


             Sign the petition 
            Thanks for all that you do, 
            Vanessa and the team at Ek?

                                A Solution that Didn't Stick

                                It?s been years since I last used a PFAS-coated nonstick pan. I gave them up after reading one too many reports about the serious health impacts of these synthetic chemicals that are widely used in consumer products that resist oil, stains, and water. Honestly, I?ve never looked back; I?ve been more than satisfied with my cast iron alternatives, which are nonstick in their own right.


                                Needless to say, I was sorely disappointed earlier this week when Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed legislation that would have helped protect cookware users across California. SB 682, which the state legislature passed in September, was set to ban ?intentionally added? PFAS from cookware, as well as from food packaging, dental floss, children?s products, cleaning products, and ski wax. In doing so, it would have reduced direct product-related exposure to these ?forever chemicals? that do not break down naturally, as well as manufacturing-related PFAS pollution that contaminates our shared water, soil, and air.


                                Big Cookware wasn?t having it. The industry lobbied hard against the bill, claiming concern over consumer choice and affordability. Several high-profile chefs joined the fray, pointing, in all seriousness, to things like the difficulty of cooking omelets and crepes in ?regular? pans. In the end, the industry won.


                                The defeat stings. A PFAS cookware ban seems like such low-hanging fruit. In a world where many solutions are complicated, this one offered a simple way to reduce the flow of harmful chemicals into our bodies and the environment. It also comes at a time when we?re seeing rising rates of cancer among young people, which research increasingly suggests could be related to exposure to environmental pollutants. Add to that the sheer pettiness of some of the industry arguments ? ahem, omelets ? and it?s hard not to feel let down.


                                But I haven?t given up all hope. Several other states, including Minnesota, Colorado, and Vermont, have already banned PFAS in cookware. Several more are currently considering bans. Once enough of our elected leaders stand up against the use of these toxic chemicals, the industry will have no choice but to meet the market where it?s headed.


                                I just wish California could have helped get us there sooner.

                                Before the Gold Rush, thousands of grizzlies roamed California, but the species was hunted and trapped to extinction by the 1920s. Now a coalition of researchers, tribal leaders, and wildlife advocates wants to bring them back.

                                Wildlife care centers do more than rehabilitate individual animals. As our columnist Tove Danovich writes, ?every time the doorbell rings [at a care center], it?s also an opportunity to get someone to understand that wildlife are our neighbors. That they need our help to keep them safe.?

                                For years, the Journal has stood up for protecting our public lands. Thankfully, the latest Trump scheme to sell off our public lands didn?t pass Congress this time.

                                But there?s so much more to cover to keep this administration in check. That?s why Earth Island Journal is committed to being at the forefront of in-depth reporting on the fight to protect our public lands, our parks, our waterways, and beyond.


                                Reader support gives us the independence to tell the stories of people like legendary park ranger Betty Reid Soskin, pictured above with Managing Editor Zoe Loftus-Farren in 2016. Your support is essential to our success, and we thank you.

                                California?s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) was designed to stabilize groundwater resources, but its implementation is hurting small-scale farmers. Terra Verde host Hannah Wilton talks with Catherine Van Dyke, deputy director of water policy at the Community Alliance with Family Farmers, and Ngodoo Atume, small farms technical assistance coordinator at the University of California, about how SGMA is playing out on the ground. ??

Subject: *[Enwl-eng] Octopus cannibalism
Message-ID: <assp.0386a69649.FB21E2037CD84EA08CF7FF621B985981@lewpostnew>

The grim reality of factory farms. Let's shut them down.
          
                        Octopuses are extraordinary animals, even building underwater ?cities.? Trapping them in tanks is torture.

                        We?re taking this fight to Brussels, to the doorstep of the European Parliament ? but we need as many signatures as possible.

                        Tell the EU: Ban octopus factory farms.

                         Sign the petition 
                       
                 
            Seafood corporations want to turn Europe into a testing ground for octopus factory farms, locking these intelligent animals in tiny tanks where suffering is so extreme they turn to cannibalism.

            And right now, nothing stands in their way, as there?s no EU law to stop them. But together, we can change that.

            Our coalition has a unique opportunity to bring your voice directly to EU decision-makers at a high-level policymaker event in Brussels. Together with scientists and animal welfare experts, we?ll make sure lawmakers confront the cruelty of octopus farming ? and push them to act on an EU-wide ban before it?s too late.

            The clock is ticking. Once the first farm opens, countless octopuses will be trapped in a cycle of suffering. We need thousands of us backing this call right now. 

            Add your name to call on the European Parliament to ban octopus farming

            Momentum is already building and on our side. Polling shows that a majority of Europeans, including people in Spain where the industry is being pushed, support an EU-wide ban on octopus factory farms. Now, lawmakers need to see that citizens want them to act.

            Octopuses are among the smartest animals on Earth ? even forming underwater ?cities? where they live and interact with one another. Scientists warn that locking such complex, social beings in barren tanks would be cruel and inhumane.

            Once this industry starts, it will be much harder to stop. That?s why we must act now. Every signature piles pressure on Parliament, and if enough of us speak out together, we can create an outcry so powerful lawmakers will have no choice but to listen.

            Sign now to protect octopuses and stop this cruel industry before it spreads.

            We know this strategy works, as we have done it before ? winning a historic ban on octopus farming in California. Now it?s Europe?s turn to lead the way and set a global precedent to save octopuses from this cruelty.

            Thanks for all that you do,

                        In a shocking move, Marineland Canada has reportedly threatened to euthanize its remaining 30 beluga whales after the government denied its request to export them to a marine park in China. These intelligent, social animals deserve protection, not punishment.



                        Sign now to demand that Canada build marine sanctuaries and make it illegal to randomly euthanize captive wildlife!



                        The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) made the right call by rejecting Marineland's request to ship the whales overseas, which would have condemned them to a lifetime of captivity and performance. But now, the whales' lives are being used as leverage in a bid for money and leniency. Sign the petition now to tell the Canadian government: protect these whales, build sanctuaries, and end the cruelty once and for all!

                                Dear subscribers,

                                Armenia is drafting its first national climate law, while Tajikistan is entering the green bond market to finance sustainable development. Kyrgyzstan warns it may revise its climate goals without stronger support from developed countries, and Kazakhstan proposes a regional plan to save the Caspian Sea. Meanwhile, Belarus faces a deepening environmental crisis after withdrawing from key conservation treaties.

                                Globally, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has for the first time recognized fossil fuel extraction as a threat to nature. And the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for a breakthrough technology that captures CO? and produces water from air ? offering new tools to fight the climate crisis.

                                At the end of this issue ? new opportunities for activists.

                                Best regards,

                                Melting Glaciers Threaten High-Mountain Villages in Central Asia
                                Accelerated glacier melt is increasing the number of glacial lakes across the region, raising the risk of catastrophic outburst floods that could destroy entire villages. Experts warn that over one million people live in high-risk zones and urgently need early warning systems and adaptation measures.
                                Moldova?s Nistrul Riverbed Dries Up Again
                                The old channel of the Nistrul River is drying up, threatening rare plant and animal species. The main causes are climate change, falling groundwater levels, erosion, and irrigation dam construction. The newly established ?Nistrul de Jos? National Park is responsible for protecting the ecosystem, but its management structure remains incomplete.

                                Environmental Protection in Belarus Under Threat
                                After withdrawing from the Bern Convention, Belarus risks reversing decades of progress in biodiversity conservation. Work on establishing the Emerald Network has halted, while hunting has been legalized for two endangered species ? the brown bear and lynx.
                                Kyrgyzstan May Revise Climate Goals Without International Support
                                Deputy Prime Minister Edil Baisalov stated that Kyrgyzstan ?reluctantly? approved its updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC 3.0) but reserves the right to revise them within five years if developed countries fail to provide the promised financial and technological support.
                                Kazakhstan Proposes Regional Action Plan to Save the Caspian Sea
                                The Caspian Sea has shrunk by about 31,000 km?, threatening local ecosystems and economies. At the Dushanbe summit and the UN, Kazakhstan proposed creating an international coordination mechanism for sea restoration, joint satellite monitoring, and a regional program for sustainable water management.

                                Coral Reefs Reach Point of No Return
                                Scientists warn that ocean warming and acidification have pushed the world?s coral reefs past a critical tipping point, marking the first documented case of a climate-related irreversible loss. The collapse threatens a quarter of all marine species and the livelihoods of over a billion people.
                                Energy Transition Remains Unequal
                                A new Renewable Energy Tracker report finds that the global shift to renewables often reproduces injustices of the fossil fuel era. Large corporations and wealthy nations continue to profit from the Global South?s resources, leaving local communities without fair benefits.

            Ban ?super? AI until its safe

                  ??????? ?? ??????? ????  


           
                        "Superintelligent" AI could be disastrous.

                        More than 400 top experts, faith leaders and public figures just released a statement calling for a ban on AI superintelligence until it's safe.

                        Let?s build on that now.

                        Sign the Statement on Superintelligence.

                         Add your name 
                       
                 


            Reckless tech billionaires are racing to build AI ?superintelligence? - raising massive ethical and security concerns.

            From controlling nuclear weapons, to replacing millions of jobs, to creating deadly viruses - unfettered AI development could have catastrophic consequences for us all.

            And it?s keeping top experts and scientists awake at night. 400 Nobel Laureates, CEOs, and faith leaders have put their names behind a powerful new call to ban this advanced AI until it?s safe: the Statement on Superintelligence.

            That?s the foundation. Now it?s up to us to build a people powered campaign so big that our governments have to respond.

            Sign the Statement on Superintelligence, and help make this so big that governments cannot ignore.

            AI experts believe that superintelligence could be less than ten years away, and they warn that we do not know how to control it. That?s why hundreds of leading public figures are calling for AI tools to be developed securely and for those tools to be targeted at solving specific problems in areas like health and education.

            Recent polling shows that three?quarters of U.S. adults want strong regulations on AI development, preferring oversight akin to pharmaceuticals rather than the tech industry?s "self?regulation." And almost two-thirds (64%) feel that superhuman AI should not be developed until it is proven safe and controllable, or should never be developed.

            Big Tech lobbyists say that a moratorium could give rogue actors or states an advantage. But that argument underestimates the catastrophic potential for all of humanity as advanced AI is developed ? regardless what country it?s ultimately made in, or if we ever really achieve ?AI superintelligence?.

            Among the 400+ initial signers of the Statement on Superintelligence are retired military leaders and security advisors, journalists and academics, policy-makers, priests and CEOs. Let?s add our names too, and show governments and Big Tech that it?s time to act.

            Add your name to the Statement on Superintelligence.

            Just in the last month, Amazon?s Jeff Bezos and OpenAI?s Sam Altman have admitted that there?s an AI investment bubble. As the bubble threatens to burst, the pressure on AI companies to cut corners, cover-up mistakes, and ignore warnings, is only going to increase.

            That?s why we need to speak out NOW.


             Add your name 
            Thanks for all that you do, 
            Eoin, Vicky and the team at Ek?

Encouraged by the success of the conference series on Sustainable Development of Energy Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES) we have strted from 2014 a regional series targeting the region of South East Europe (SEE SDEWES conferences), with conferences successfully held in Ohrid, Piran, Novi Sad, Sarajevo and Vlore. The next one in the series will be organized in the city of Burgas, Bulgaria and we hope to see you there.

Can engineering solutions mitigate the climate change before we need to adapt? How can we build low carbon energy systems? How can we integrate water, energy, transport, waste and food systems so that we decouple development from growing use of resources? What are the societal and economic challenges before implementing clearly beneficial engineering solutions? What is the role of sustainable cities and regions?

These and many other questions are being asked and answered by researchers participating in the Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES Conference), an event devoted to scientists, engineers, policy makers, students and other interested parties in the field of sustainable development. The first six SDEWES Conferences were held in Dubrovnik, later being also held in Ohrid, on a Mediterranean cruiser between Venice and Istanbul, Lisbon, Piran, Palermo, Rio de Janeiro, Novi Sad, Buenos Aires, Sarajevo, Cologne, Vlore, Sao Paulo, Paphos, Vina del Mar, Gold Coast, Rome, Saidia and every odd year again in Dubrovnik.

The details about the Conference (important dates, conference fee, accommodation, contact addresses, etc.) can be found on the web site:

 The scientific quality of the conferences is confirmed by the fact that leading international archival scientific journals, "Energy - The International Journal", "Applied Energy", "Energy Conversion and Management", "Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews", and others.

                                Dear friends!

                                UWEC Work Group needs your support to continue covering the environmental consequences of Russia?s invasion of Ukraine for a wide audience. We remain a critical resource for research and articles on the war are published not only in Ukrainian, but also in English and Russian. We approach translation into English with special care to access a wide audience. We work with native speakers, and our whole team is an international association of experts, journalists and researchers, enabling us not only to present information in a wide context and variety of perspectives.

                                Today, our work is especially important, as more research on the environmental and climate consequences of the invasion have begun to appear. Against the background of other important news stories, the Russian war?s environmental impacts and the urgent need to take decisive climate action seem to fade into the background. 

                                Among multiple crises with important global ramifications, Ukraine must remain a priority topic in the media. Data collection and analysis of the war?s impacts on nature, nature?s adaptation to the realities of war and, eventually, post-war times and ?green recovery? projects is critical. UWEC?s coverage informs global peace-building and conflict resolution. Ukrainian experience also highlights solutions that other countries affected by military action can put to use.

                                Global uncertainty and changing priorities affects donors and institutional funders and the initiatives they support and UWEC is not alone in feeling those changes. Our team remains committed even as grant funding decreases. UWEC maintains its publishing schedule for the time being and we are determined to continue working as long as we can. 

                                UWEC needs increased resources for this media initiative to continue and grow. We are pleased to invite our readers to support our publication. We hope you will take this opportunity to make a one-time donation or subscribe to a monthly newsletter. For our part, we promise to continue publishing timely stories and analysis and actively participate in discussions of issues of adaptation and overcoming the environmental consequences of the Russian war in Ukraine.

                                Our hearts remain in Ukraine and humanity is balancing on the knife?s edge of multiple military conflicts. We will be grateful for your heartfelt commitment to the region?s environment.

                        This is beyond spooky ? painted woolly bats are being hunted so that consumers can buy their corpses as Halloween decorations. 

                        Tell Amazon to ban this grotesque trinket trade before the last of these stunning creatures disappear:

            Painted woolly bats are selfless little forest guardians, helping to control pests and pollinate flowers ? but a sick Halloween trinkets trend is fueling demand for their bodies.

            They?re being kidnapped from their forest homes across south and south-east Asia, their dead bodies sold as frivolous Halloween decorations on platforms like Amazon. Horrifyingly, the demand from the US is the biggest threat to the species? survival! 

            We can turn this around.

            Etsy and eBay have already banned the sale of bats ? now we have a chance to take this pressure to boiling point and demand Amazon follow suit to stop this grotesque trinket trade.

            But they?ll only act if they can feel the heat from tens of thousands of us around the world.

            Tell Amazon to save painted woolly bats! 

            It?s totally macabre ? Amazon were found to be awash with the bodies of these little bats, some sold as jewelry or stuffed in jars. HUNDREDS of listings were discovered by researchers over a 12-week period and the majority of vendors were in the US.

            These stunning creatures known for their flaming orange and black wings are at particular risk of dying out because they reproduce so slowly, just one offspring at a time. But if we can build enough pressure on Amazon to stop selling them, demand for these creatures would take a massive hit and they could finally start to recover in the wild.

            At a time when species are disappearing at alarming speed, we have to do everything we can to save the precious wildlife we have left. This is our best chance to save these bats before it?s too late ? are you in?

                                Deserting the Delta

                                DORIS EGBA?S STRONGEST memory of her childhood in the village of Otuabagi, in Nigeria?s Bayelsa State, is of her parents? interminable search for arable land. ?When I look back now, out of all my memories, it is the one that stands out ? the fact that they were always looking for where they could grow crops just to feed us,? says Egba, who?s now a teacher in the village school.


                                Otuabagi, a rustic fishing village nestled within the vast network of alluvial lands, mangrove forests, and slow-moving creeks that make up the Niger Delta, is the birthplace of oil production in the country. In 1956, when Shell D?Arcy ? as Royal Dutch Shell was then known ? struck black gold in the region, the fortunes of Egba?s parents and their fellow villagers, who are predominantly farmers and fisher folks, took a turn for the worse. Their ancestral land, with its rich soil and plentiful water, became part of what came to be known as the Oloibiri oilfield. At least 18 of the 21 oil wells that made up the oilfield were sited in Otuabagi, mostly on farmlands, fishing ponds, and streams that had served the villagers for generations.


                                Over the next two decades, the oilfield would pump over 20 million barrels of crude oil, resulting in massive hydrocarbon pollution that changed Otuabagi forever. By the time Egba was born in 1980, two years after the oilfield had ceased to produce, the once-thriving fish ponds and farms had been transformed into polluted, lifeless waters and barren lands?


                                Shell never cleaned up the mess it made in Otuabagi. Improperly decommissioned well heads and manifolds (the assemblage of pipes, valves, and other fittings that help direct the flow of pressurized oil from wells) still litter the landscape.


                                Otuabagi isn?t the only village to suffer such a fate. For decades, Shell and a host of other international and domestic oil companies expanded drilling operations throughout the Niger Delta, displacing local communities and despoiling the natural environment in the process.


                                Now, in the face of mounting lawsuits over spills and crude theft, as well as a decline in output from the oilfields in the restive region, all of the international oil companies that plundered these lands are attempting to rid themselves of their once-lucrative-but-now-problematic assets in the Delta.


                                Journalist Obiora Ikoku reports on how the international oil majors ? including ExxonMobil, TotalEnergies, and Shell ? are scrambling to exit the Niger Delta without cleaning up their mess or compensating impacted communities.

 entire East Wing of White House will be completely destroyed
Message-ID: <assp.0393387bc2.C2D61D916581463C86E36886D4415FCE@lewpostnew>

                        On Monday, the Trump administration began the process of completely demolishing the East Wing of the White House. A 7-foot-high fence encircled the area and construction equipment arrived on the scene. In the two days since, most of the building has been destroyed ? and Trump's team has just confirmed that the rest of the historic East Wing building will be entirely gone by the weekend.

                        All of this is just to make room for Trump's unnecessary gilded ballroom, an idea he has been obsessed with. Originally, he stated the ballroom would cost $250 million and would be "near" the East Wing but wouldn't "interfere" with it. Now, he's updated that amount to $300 million and the East Wing ? a piece of history ? is toast.

                        The East Wing has stood for 123 years, bearing witness to many presidents over time. The National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Society of Architectural Historians, and the American Institute of Architects have all spoken out against the destruction. In fact, it appears the White House may have broken the law with this unsanctioned demolition. As the National Trust for Historic Preservation noted, there are "legally required public review processes" Trump's team was supposed to go through.

                        Yet Trump doesn't seem to care about any of that. As heavy machinery to loudly tore away chunks of the building on Tuesday, Trump told Republican lawmakers gathered on the premises: "You hear that sound? That's music to my ears; I love that sound."

                        Not only is Trump destroying history ? he's also spending massive amounts of money. At the same time that this major construction project is underway, thousands of government workers have been laid off, the federal government is still shut down (becoming one of the longest shutdowns in U.S. history), and life-saving programs like medical research projects have seen their funding slashed.

                        We must demand accountability now! Federal agencies must hold Trump's administration responsible for its illegal process of razing parts of the White House to the ground! Sign the petition.

                        P.S. Trump's reckless destruction of this historical building is representative of his larger efforts to destroy the foundation of U.S. democracy through undermining the rule of law, separation of powers, and democratic norms. He must be held accountable. Sign the petition.

Subject: *[Enwl-eng] A climate-worsened typhoon just wrecked Alaska. Trump
 approved more oil drilling there right after.
Message-ID: <assp.03946c6f8b.6743197FFB404F9F9050642628D23B73@lewpostnew>


                       
                 
           
                        Demand that the Trump administration reverse this devastating oil and gas expansion.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        A Typhoon Fueled by Climate Change Just Destroyed Portions of Alaska. Then Trump Opened Alaska to More Oil Drilling.

                        On October 11, Typhoon Halong slammed into the coast of Alaska. Houses glided away off their foundations, roads were demolished, power lines and communication lines toppled, and sanitation systems destroyed. Many communities still have no access to electricity or safe, clean water ? even weeks later. More than one thousand people and entire towns have been displaced.

                        All this was made worse by rapidly-intensifying climate change. Yet Trump's administration just finalized its decision to allow oil and gas drilling in the unsoiled, protected lands of the Alaskan Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

                        Experts are saying that it may take 18 months or longer for towns to be safe for residents to return to. But even once these typhoon-impacted towns are rebuilt, they will simply face the next wave of climate-induced threats ? and residents can't just rebuild forever.

                        Climate change is not only changing the world, but it's specifically changing Alaska. Much of the state's ground has traditionally been permafrost, or land that remains frozen throughout the year. But now, that land is thawing, reeking havoc on both the ecosystems there and even on human construction.

                        Drilling would disrupt wildlife and the environment by way of human construction, noise and light pollution, and the use of toxic chemicals. Native tribes hold these lands as sacred and are demanding continued protections for the area. Drilling would not only lay waste to beautiful portions of this irreplaceable Refuge, but it would also further commit the U.S. to dirty energy sources ? which cause and worsen climate change.

                        This latest typhoon and the devastation it brought should make it clear that we must prioritize people and the Earth above profits. We must oppose oil and gas drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and demand a workable, enforceable plan to fight climate change! Sign the petition now!

      Hello and welcome to the Ek? newsletter. Today we?re covering a 
climate lawsuit, Hurricane Melissa, data centers, and a billionaire paying 
the US military?s bills.

      Shell game


      When Super Typhoon Odette hit the Philippines in 2021, the storm left 
destruction and hundreds dead in its wake.

      Now, survivors of the disaster are suing the oil company Shell, 
claiming the company?s role in furthering the climate crisis is partly 
responsible for the typhoon?s damage. The suit is expected to be filed in 
the UK.

      The suit is part of ?a rising tide of climate litigation from the 
Global South,? Greenpeace Philippines Climate Campaigner Jefferson Chua said 
in a statement. Shell has denied any role in downplaying the severity of the 
climate crisis.

      Legally, the suit could have wide-ranging implications if it?s 
successful, opening the door to more lawsuits and actions against fossil 
fuel companies.

      ?Who made the storms this strong? We received no help, no justice. We 
deserve accountability for what was taken from us.??Betty, a claimant

      (Greenpeace) (Courthouse News) (Eco Business)

      In other news
      Direct hit

      Jamaica is directly in the path of Hurricane Melissa, a slow-moving, 
Category 5 storm.

      As of this writing, Melissa?s track is positioned to have Jamaica take 
a direct hit from the storm. The climate crisis is making hurricanes 
stronger and more deadly, as noted above.

      Water water everywhere?

      Amazon executives hid the true cost of data centers from the public, 
according to documents reviewed by SourceMaterial and The Guardian.

      The tech behemoth used estimates of water usage that were lower than 
reality in a 2022 campaign called ?Water Positive? on sustainability. The 
initiative was aimed at improving Amazon?s global image on the environment. 
Amazon denied that the data in the leaked documents was still applicable to 
its water usage.

      At issue is the decision not to include secondary usage in the data.

      ?In environmental science, it is standard practice to include both to 
more accurately capture the true water cost of data centers.??Shaolei Ren, 
University of California, Riverside associate professor of electrical and 
computer engineering

      (SourceMaterial) (The Guardian)

      Cash for troops

      A billionaire contributed $130 million to keep the US military paid 
amid the ongoing government shutdown, a highly unusual and unsettling turn 
of events.

      The funder is reportedly Timothy Mellon, an heir to the Mellon banking 
fortune. Mellon, a reclusive Republican donor, is also a supporter of Health 
and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

      ?In addition to being bananas, this seems very illegal.??Jennifer 
Bendery, HuffPost

      (the New York Times) (NBC News) (X)

      Here?s your campaign of the day


        Developers have their sights set on Java?s tropical forests, 
threatening to carve up what little remains for industrial agriculture, palm 
oil, and mining. And it?s pushing Javan gibbons to the brink.

        Less than 10% of Java?s forests remain. Deforestation has destroyed 
the natural bridges that these gibbons need to travel through the forest. 
They?re now isolated and stranded. They can?t reach one another to socialize 
and mate or cross the forest for food.

        Without us intervening now, the species can?t survive.

      Help save the species

                                Dear subscribers,

                                Ecolur, a CAN EECCA member organization, 
prepared a detailed review of Armenia?s NDCs. Uzbekistan set a new record 
for renewable energy generation. In Belarus, authorities reopened lynx 
hunting, raising concerns among conservationists.

                                Africa recognized ecocide as a priority for 
the first time, while new research highlights risks of additional oil 
extraction and the importance of protecting communities? environmental 
rights.

                                At the end of this issue ? new opportunities 
for activists.

                                Best regards,
                                CAN EECCA Communications Manager

                                News from the EECCA Region









                                Armenia?s NDCs: Steps Toward Emissions 
Reduction and Climate Accountability, Part 1
                                Armenia remains highly vulnerable to climate 
change. Average temperatures have already risen by 1.23??C and could 
increase by almost 3??C by mid-century. About half of the territory faces 
desertification, and up to 80% of agricultural land requires irrigation.

                                Armenia?s NDCs: Updates and Challenges, Part 
2
                                Armenia submitted its updated NDC (3.0), 
pledging a 40% emissions reduction by 2030 compared to 1990. Plans include 
increasing renewable energy to 50%, expanding solar and wind capacity, and 
boosting forest cover to 12.9%. Experts note gaps in funding, waste 
management, and emissions monitoring.
                                WWF Ukraine Launches Online Forest 
Restoration Platform
                                WWF Ukraine and IT company SoftServe 
introduced a platform to support communities, businesses, and governments in 
restoring forests. It provides step-by-step guidance, spatial maps, and 
advice on selecting suitable sites and tree species for sustainable, 
climate-friendly reforestation.
                                Belarus Reopens Lynx Hunting: 
Conservationists Warn of Risks
                                From October 1, 2025, Belarus permitted lynx 
hunting for the first time in 40 years. While some local populations have 
reached threshold levels, lynx remain rare and vulnerable, with slow 
reproduction and high kitten mortality. Experts warn hunting may threaten 
long-term population stability.
                                Kazakhstan Prepares to Ratify Kigali 
Amendment
                                Kazakhstan announced plans to ratify the 
Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, targeting hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) 
emissions. Vice Minister Marat Oshurbayev noted the country is inventorying 
HFCs and preparing a phased reduction plan, strengthening its contribution 
to ozone protection and climate action.
                                Russia Withdraws from Plutonium Disposal 
Agreement with the US
                                President Vladimir Putin signed a law 
denouncing the 2000 agreement under which both countries were to dispose of 
34 tonnes of surplus weapons-grade plutonium. The plan to use it as nuclear 
fuel faced technical, financial, and political obstacles, and was never 
implemented, contributing to disputes over the treaty.
                                Uzbekistan Generates Record 9 Billion kWh of 
Renewable Energy
                                In 2025, the country?s solar and wind plants 
produced a record 9?billion kWh, saving 2.73?billion m? of gas and 
preventing nearly 4?million tonnes of emissions. Renewables now account for 
23% of the energy mix, signaling an accelerated transition to sustainable 
energy.
                                Azerbaijan Hosts First Regional Green 
Education Seminar
                                Representatives from Central Asia and the 
South Caucasus discussed integrating sustainability and climate topics into 
national curricula. Participants emphasized education?s role in building 
environmental responsibility and preparing societies for climate challenges.

                                Africa Recognizes Ecocide as a Continental 
Priority
                                At the 20th African Ministerial Conference 
on the Environment (AMCEN), countries adopted a historic decision to include 
ecocide criminalization as a strategic environmental priority for 2025?2027.

                        A new study has shocked scientists ? and should 
alarm the rest of us, too.



                        It found that, when we're indoors or in our cars, 
every single breath that we take likely contains a high number of 
microplastics, which are so small that they can burrow deep into our lungs.



                        Many of us are familiar with the scary threats posed 
by microplastics, which can contaminate our food and drinking water, and 
even erode from household products. But this newly discovered pathway that 
these insidious particles use to get into our bodies and lungs is freshly 
terrifying.



                        It's time for Congress to act. Sign the petition now 
to demand that Congress lower the cost of HEPA filters and mandate their use 
everywhere possible!



                        Microplastics have been linked to chronic 
inflammation in the lungs, "which can lead to lung cancer." So, the fact 
that we are inhaling them at such a high rate is a problem we need to 
address head on and immediately.



                        This is a public health crisis with a very simple 
solution: mandating HEPA filters everywhere to protect all people's health. 
Sign now to tell Congress: lower the cost of HEPA filters and start 
mandating their use everywhere!




                 Thank you,

microplastics at an alarming rate. We need effective air filtration, now.

Subject: *[Enwl-eng] Flying landmines. Stop killer robots
Message-ID: <assp.0397609a24.364D43B211014678BBB038F47ECB2A5C@evol.sp.ru>



                        Self-directing killer drones are the arms industry's 
latest horror invention -- picking up where landmines dropped off.

                        UN talks in New York right now could lead to a ban, 
but they need a boost of public support.

                        Tell all governments to urgently negotiate a ban on 
autonomous weapon systems.

                         Sign the petition


            Swarms of AI-powered drones that pick who to kill are already 
invading the skies over Ukraine. Unconscious, unaccountable... They're like 
flying landmines that kill and maim with impunity.

            The usual suspects oppose new international law on autonomous 
weapons systems (AWS), like they opposed banning landmines too. But UN talks 
in New York are underway right now, with momentum for a ban treaty building 
among states from all corners of the globe.

            Let's support the tireless work that human rights campaigners 
and diplomats are doing on the ground, and counter the merchants of war. 
When we get to 100,000 signatures, we'll deliver the petition in New York.

            Tell all government leaders: launch negotiations for a treaty to 
ban autonomous weapon systems.

            AI warfare makes the world a far more dangerous place. For one, 
replacing soldiers with AI-powered drones makes it easier for governments to 
choose to go to war. It also encourages governments and corporations to keep 
mining our personal data, scanning all our photos, phone calls and social 
media? reducing us to objects, stereotypes, and data points for killer 
robots to some day ?delete? at will.

            Advocates say AWS can boost military precision and efficiency. 
But military spending is through the roof, so any efficiency gains (if you 
can believe them!) are just fueling more warfare, not peace and human 
security. Their ?military precision? claims hold no water either ? and if 
anything, AI only increases the risks posed by nuclear weapons, by compress 
decision-making timelines and increasing miscalculation risks.

            Machines can?t make complex ethical choices, and can never be 
held to account. People must.

            Tell all government leaders: launch negotiations for a treaty to 
ensure human control in the use of force and to prohibit machines that 
target people.

            An amazing coalition of NGOs, academics and activists has been 
pushing for a binding treaty for years. The UN General Assembly First 
Committee on Disarmament and International Security began its 80th session 
on October 8, which will continue until November 7. The Committee will take 
action on resolutions towards the end of its session, so we have only days 
to influence them.

            Let?s show them we want a binding treaty ? not killer robots and 
endless wars.

Message-ID: <assp.03986529d4.25BBABBAEBA74A23A87ACB7E69F9E579@lewpostnew>


          
                        BREAKING: Trump's entourage has just revealed his terrifying plan to stay in the White House until 2032 at least!

                        We need to take action NOW or it'll be too late.

                        Sign the petition to resist Trump.

                         Sign the petition 
                       
                 
            Trump?s ally, Steve Bannon just admitted that Trump has no intention of leaving the White House in 2028. He confessed that ?there?s a plan? to get Trump a third term as President, breaking the constitutional two-term limit and putting another nail in the coffin of US democracy.

            This is classic Trump - float an idea that?s blatantly illegal and see if people resist or roll over.

            But while Trump is banking on everyone complying in advance to his absurd and terrifying idea of a third term, we can mobilise and show there?s such widespread public outrage that it will never happen.

            If we act together, fast, we can force politicians around the world and in the US to resist Trump?s fascism. It?s the ONLY option if we?re to stop a full-blown Trump dictatorship.

            Add your name to tell our leaders RESIST TRUMP, then share this petition ? when we hit a million signers, we?ll start delivering our call in person and through ads at major political summits and events worldwide:

            Tell our leaders to resist Trump

            Trump?s supporters openly musing about a third term is no surprise. In the last 9 months, Trump has repeatedly shown his disdain for the rule of law. He?s rolled out constitution-busting policies daily - detaining and deporting US residents and citizens without due process, deploying the military in US cities, manipulating global markets for his benefit, and accepting a luxury jet from the Qatari government.

            And the world?s richest companies - like Apple, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft - have been helping him at every turn. Just this week, it was revealed Big Tech is donating millions to Trump?s vanity project to demolish the White House east wing to make way for a $300 million ballroom.

            But while Trump and his billionaire friends use their power and wealth to dismantle US democracy and fill their pockets, we?ve got something they don?t have: a movement of millions that will fight like hell to stop this slide towards fascism.

                        The strongest hurricane in nearly 200 years hit Jamaica this week. Moving slowly and lingering on the island, the powerful Category 5 storm flooded communities, hauled trees out of the ground, destroyed power lines, shattered windows, and tore roofs off of homes, and even caused buildings to collapse.

                        Upwards of 530,000 people are without electricity, and nearly 15,000 people have been displaced and are now living in shelters. Four people have died. The World Meteorological Organization has called Hurricane Melissa the "Storm of the Century."

                        Extreme winds and rainfall pummeled the whole region, leaving neighboring Caribbean countries like Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic also reeling from destruction. Floods in Haiti dragged away 25 people, who died. In Cuba, around 735,000 people have been evacuated and displaced from their homes.

                        There's a reason Hurricane Melissa became a mega-storm, and that reason is climate change. Experts around the world are in agreement that this hurricane's brutality is almost certainly directly related to how climate change is causing ocean water to heat up dramatically. This hurricane wasn't only intense ? it also strengthened quickly. In only around 24 hours, its punishing wind speeds grew from 70mph to 140mph, doubling in speed.

                        That's why leaders of Caribbean countries are banding together to demand proper accountability for this destruction. Since global warming made this storm so potent, these leaders are asking high-polluting, wealthy nations to help with their countries' recovery processes through debt relief and aid.
