During COP27, we urge the Egyptian authorities to immediately and unconditionally release all those held simply for peacefully exercising their human rights, implementing criteria set by local NGOs for these releases: fairness, transparency, inclusiveness and urgency. One of these prisoners is Alaa Abd El-Fattah, who is now on a water strike since the beginning of COP27. (thread)
A system that doesn't address the needs for climate justice and securing human rights is a system that has failed everyone – we need to keep both in mind.
Human rights and climate movements are stronger when we stand in solidarity together. Then we can also successfully push those in power to live up to significantly increased adaptation finance and immediately, drastically reduced greenhouse gas emissions. There is no climate justice without social justice and human rights.

@gretathunberg For sure. But any kind of action, to be effective, must take into account human nature (the way we think). Going back to XIX century is not the answer, further innovation is the answer. Manufacturing your phone pollutes as hell, but no one wants to get rid of it.
@danielr7z @gretathunberg we can have sustainable eco energy and humane production. it just doesn't benefit oil billionaires.
@tillianisafox @danielr7z @gretathunberg Yes, and we don't have to have new devices every 12/18 months.
