Since 2015 the richest one percent have accumulated 33.9 trillion dollars, enough to transform lives and fund climate solutions many times over. Instead, climate and development plans remain starved while inequality deepens. Now countries from Brazil to South Africa are pushing for taxes on extreme wealth, private jets and polluting corporations. This is how we unlock real resources for a fair and green future. The money exists. Time to #TaxTheSuperRich.

Recycling is a toxic lie. Big brands and petrochemical corporations keep selling the public a convenient and comforting story to hide the hard truth: they simply have to STOP PRODUCING SO MUCH PLASTIC. #PlasticsTreaty #plasticpollution #recycling image
Earlier this week, Norway stopped all deep sea mining in Arctic waters until at least 2029. A huge win for ocean protection. Now Norway must join the 40+ countries calling for a global moratorium and protect our oceans for good. #StopDeepSeaMining image
Oil and gas companies keep expanding drilling, keep fuelling climate breakdown, and keep pocketing record profits while communities around the world face floods, fires, droughts and rising costs of survival. People everywhere deserve a fair system where fossil fuel giants pay for the destruction they cause. Not taxpayers. Not frontline communities. It is time to #MakePollutersPay.

More than 1,400 people have been killed after record rainfall and storm surges across Asia. Meanwhile fossil fuel companies keep making RECORD PROFITS instead of paying for the climate damages they drive. It is time to MAKE POLLUTERS PAY.
Just a reminder: what causes climate change? Burning fossil fuels. The number one culprit? Fossil fuel companies who profit off of suffering and destruction.

🚨 BREAKING: Scientists confirm that extreme weather events are worsening plastic pollution in our water, soil, atmosphere and wildlife. Rising temperatures, higher humidity and stronger sunlight break plastic down, while storms, flooding and wind spread it more widely. 👀 https://cnn.it/48trDtA image
🚨 BREAKING; Norway has just stopped ALL DEEP SEA MINING in Arctic waters until at least 2029, a huge WIN for ocean protection driven by public pressure and environmental defenders. Now Norway must join over 40 countries calling for a global moratorium to protect our oceans for good.
Greenpeace International and Greenpeace organisations around the world joined the #MakeAmazonPay day of action to tell the truth about Amazon’s expanding destructive impact. Resist environmental destruction. Resist union busting. Resist Big Tech. For people and the planet, it’s #TimeToResist!
