<P><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400">So here we are: we made it through the
first month of 2021. Many of us had unprecedented struggles to face in the
year 2020, and many of us had to adapt the way we lived, interacted and
fought for climate justice. If there is one thing that is abundantly
clear, it is that no matter how far apart we may feel, we can’t win this
fight alone. In the first month of 2021, the world has faced increased
climate disasters and injustice, but it has also seen some amazing wins
for people power. </SPAN></P>

style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400">The Keystone XL pipeline is CANCELLED! On his
first day in office, US President Joe Biden cancelled the Keystone XL
pipeline, setting a precedent that all permitting decisions must pass a
climate test and respect Indigenous rights. This is a massive movement
victory of a 10+ year fight thanks to millions of people demanding an end
to fossil fuels, and a signal that Biden is following through on his
promises to protect people and the planet. </SPAN><A

<P><STRONG>Pakistan coal ban: </STRONG><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400">One
of the biggest announcements from last year’s Virtual Climate Ambition
Summit was Pakistan’s denouncing of new coal projects. As always with
announcements like this, there are questions about the ins and outs of
these types of bans and whether they will turn out to have a thousand
loopholes. 350 South Asia put the statement into context.</SPAN></P>

<P><STRONG>Wins: </STRONG><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400">Last week two
local anti-coal fights in Turkey scored big wins. First, the Çırpılar
thermal coal plant project, which would have caused wide-scale destruction
on the local ecology, was denied an application to overturn a local court
decision to uphold the EIA. Meanwhile, in Northern Anatolia, the local
resistance in Bartın managed to stop a second EIA process of the Amasra
Thermal Coal Plant project (after the first was overruled by the State
Council). 350 Turkey worked closely with the local groups in both regions
that made these victories possible.</SPAN></P>

and confidence that can allow them to launch or re-energize the climate

the 2019 election, Trudeau promised to introduce a Just Transition Act,
“ensuring that workers have access to the training and support they need
to succeed in the new clean economy.” If Trudeau is serious about climate
change and protecting workers, it’s time to stop pushing pipelines and
start investing in real climate solutions that work for people and the
planet. 350 Canada is calling on Trudeau to legislate the Just Transition
Act and make sure no one gets left behind as Canada shifts away from
fossil fuels. </SPAN><A
