Glencore is facing opposition to its #climate policy ahead of its AGM. A 17% ↗️ in coal production this year is not compatible with #ClimateActionNow LAPFF also has concerns about Glencore’s human rights practices: https://t.co/NZsSR5pCC5 https://t.co/3XzVDr9CkW
Are carbon offsets just another form of greenwashing? Captured carbon is being used to extract more #FossilFuels, & yet can still be 'sold' to burnish #green credentials. The entire #offset market needs closer investigation & regulation.
Greenhouse gas emissions must peak by 2025, and can be nearly halved this decade, according to the #IPCC, to give a chance of staying within 1.5°C. Investment in the shift to a low-carbon world is about six times lower than it needs to be (1/2) https://t.co/HJIVJQ7o3T
