🗣️ We call on Indonesia & ALL other States to course correct & choose real #ClimateAction:
🔹 Stop betting on dangerous distractions like carbon capture & storage #CCS and #Offsets
🔹 #EndFossilFuels & #PayUp
🔹 Reform the climate talks & #KickBigPollutersOut!
🤫 Spoiler alert: Ignoring or resisting binding law doesn’t make it unbind.
What’s needed? States must
❗ Re-align their climate national plans with international law and science
❗ #EndFossilFuels
❗ #PayUp: Provide resources at the scale of #LossAndDamage needs.
💰💰💰 Climate finance is not charity, it’s an obligation. Climate finance has long been underwhelming and undelivered.
It’s time to #PayUp at a scale capable of meeting the goals of the #ParisAgreement.
CCS & carbon markets don’t cut emissions at the source, they license delay.
#ClimateJustice means #EndFossilFuels & #PayUp.
Not paying to pollute by buying offsets & continuing business as usual climate-destroying emissions. It's a slap in the face to frontline communities.
What does the Fund truly need?
🔍 Transparency,
🧑🤝🧑 Participation, and
👩⚖️ accountability.
Communities have paid the highest price; wealthy polluters must #PayUp their fair share—not as charity, but as a legal obligation—and at the scale the crisis demands.
