Speaking at COP29 today, experts on the intersection of fossil fuels and justice in Palestine highlighted how multiple systems of oppression converge to perpetuate violence against communities in Palestine.
For the first time in three years of negotiations towards the new climate finance goal due at the end of COP29, we finally have a draft text that includes options for rich countries to pay the scale and quality of finance they owe, and for urgently needed support to flow towards a fair fossil fuel support.

In the final hours of COP28, groups push to exclude the fossil fuel industry’s dangerous distractions from global climate change agreement.

Just passed the halfway point at the UN climate talks in Dubai, and negotiations are heating up. Today's media advisory covers upcoming press conferences, actions, and the COP28 Coalition march for climate justice and human rights.
"Today’s announcement from the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Canada and many of their peers is a disappointment. At a time when we need rich country leaders to concretely expand their past ambition to secure a fair deal, these ministers are just regurgitating promises and initiatives that are now more than a decade old and have been so ineffective that fossil fuel handouts and profits continue to reach record levels."
As we enter week 2 of the UN climate talks in Dubai, today's media advisory covers upcoming press conferences, actions, a new letter calling on the Biden administration to abandon support for LNG, and more.
Over 300 organizations from over 40 countries across the globe released a letter today calling on the Biden Administration to abandon its support for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) at COP28.
On Friday, December 8, an international coalition of organizations and community leaders, including the Center for Energy, Ecology, and Development Philippines, Center for Biological Diversity, Climate Action Network Canada, Earthworks, Oil Change International, Solutions For Our Climate, and others will gather for a creative action and speak-out on the need to end approvals and finance for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) projects, extraction, export, and import.
“This letter adds to the unprecedented global momentum for a full, fast, fair, and funded fossil fuel phaseout. People from around the world are joining over 100 countries that have now called for an end to oil, gas, and coal," said Elizabeth Bast.
The latest GST text shows we have never been closer to an agreement on a fossil fuel phaseout. But, what that transition will look like will be a fierce battle over the next few days. We are alarmed about some of the options in this text that seem to carve out large loopholes for the fossil fuel industry.
