⚠️🛢 The fossil fuel phase-out scam: While crumbs are negotiated for climate finance, producers of some of the dirtiest oil (🇨🇦🇺🇸) have expanded production, cancelling out any transition effects by others Our @tidecentre.bsky.social fact of the week aims to shed light on this often-overlooked aspect.

The failures of past COPs held with suppressed civil society participation and over representation of fossil fuels have led progressive forces to believe that COP30 in Brazil will hold all the answers we need. It’s under a progressive government and it’s in the Amazon! Yet…

Attended an event from one of the authors that inspired my undergraduate dissertation. Was a pleasure to listen to @amirleb.bsky.social speak about his new book. Key takeaway: The Global North are self interested in the green race, and developing countries should find alternatives to survive.

Renewables financing is perpetuating global inequality. Despite record investment globally & 600 million still without electricity in Africa, the region got < $1 of RE investment (100x less than rich nations‼️) If nothing changes, the poorest will be pushed further behind in the green economy.
