Governments around the world are being warned they face court if they don't act on the climate crisis, in an open letter published this morning by a group of legal activists. It's the first time lawyers & NGOs have joined forces in this way to threaten legal action

I so identified with this story. Please, yes, let's put this system on a staged intervention. Let's let creative, critical, big, important thoughts and opinions and feelings exist and flourish. If not at 8 years old, then WHEN?

COPs need cultural voices & the African COP needs African cultural voices. Now meet 5 who have traveled to #COP27 to share African lessons for tackling a crisis their continent didn't cause but is surely feeling. Follow their remarkable journey via #AfricanHeritageVoicesCOP27๐ŸŒ

The government is going to pay our commercial banks ยฃ136 billion of excess interest over the next five years on money the government gifted to them using the QE process. Thatโ€™s ยฃ27bn a year that could be used in the NHS and education. This is outrageous. A threadโ€ฆ.

Hereโ€™s the specific issue at play today - countries can hide information about their offsetting trades by claiming that itโ€™s โ€œsensitiveโ€. There is no independent way to check or verify that. We just have to trust it. #COP27 #Article6 x.com/mattadamw/statโ€ฆ

Hereโ€™s why this is so monumentally important to our safety from fossil fuels: carbon trading gets used as a tool to delay real, immediate emissions reductions, by the highest emitters. Dodgy deals that fabricate the look and feel of real climate action.

In case it wasnโ€™t clear: we are no longer in a point where we can fund climate action using climate delay. At the *absolute very very least*, carbon markets should be transparent, so we can identify the dodginess as it happens #COP27 x.com/KetanJ0/statusโ€ฆ
