📍The entanglement of tech billionaires with political power severely threatens climate action. The AI hype isn’t about specific models solving concrete problems. It’s about cashing in. At the expense of everyone else.

"Earlier this year, Elon Musk built a gas-burning power plant large enough to power a small city, claimed it was exempt from air pollution laws, and placed it next to Boxtown, a Black neighborhood in Memphis where he had built a new data center. People in Boxtown started breathing polluted air – and dying faster. This is what the AI bubble looks like today." - Dwaign Tyndal

To anyone who's been following human rights issues in #Tibet or the #Uyghur regions, or Chinese links to illegal #rareearth mining in #Laos & #Myanmar (including de-facto support for the ruthless #junta), the fact that #China derailed the inclusion of mining and critical minerals in the #COP30 #JustTransition Work Program is no surprise.
In the latest issue of @codastory newsletter, I explore this, and more.

The analysis finds that none of the G20’s 2035 climate plans include a credible fossil fuel phase-out, even though fossil fuels are driving the crisis.
This gap puts the 1.5°C climate limit at serious risk.
Inside the #COP30 venue in Belém, Greenpeace built a fragile cardboard Eiffel Tower to show how the COP21 #ParisAgreement is under threat.
The message is clear: governments must act NOW to keep the 1.5°C climate limit alive.

"Peasants, Indigenous Peoples, fisherfolk, pastoralists and rural workers must no longer be seen only as victims of the climate crisis but as essential leaders in restoring ecosystems, feeding communities, and building social and economic justice."

PEOPLE AND PLANET ARE ON A TIGHTROPE 🔴
A Greenpeace Spain activist walked a tightrope 30 metres high in Madrid to deliver an urgent message to #COP30: governments must phase out fossil fuels, end deforestation before 2030, and make polluters pay. The 1.5°C climate limit is the line we cannot cross.

A step in the right direction for climate accountability.
Europe’s top human rights court has ruled that governments cannot ignore the full climate impact of new oil and gas projects. Norway must assess global emissions before expanding drilling.
🚨 GOOD NEWS: The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that Norway must assess the global climate impacts of oil and gas before opening new fields.
A landmark step for climate and human rights, setting clear limits on fossil fuel expansion.
Brought forward by Greenpeace, Young Friends of the Earth, and six young activists standing up for future generations.

Join the “The Answer is Us” campaign!
It echoes the call of the peoples of the forest, the waters, the countryside, and the cities for global mobilization for climate and life. In the year of COP30 in the Amazon, voices from different territories unite to affirm: this world is ours, and we have the answer to the crisis! It is time to take back control of the future: hear the call and be part of the answer.

Huge respect to Vishal Prasad and the Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change, honoured with the Right Livelihood Award (“Alternative Nobel”) for contributing to making climate justice a matter of international law.
Their fight shows governments must act and polluters be held accountable.
