Responding to the Washington Post on their editorial "Degrowth is Deranged," check out my letter in today's Post on the Growth We Need: washingtonpost.com/opinions/…. "We can enable economic growth while respecting planetary boundaries essential to survival."

Opinion | To save the planet, do we have to shrink humanity’s ambitions?

Degrowthers argue that we’re approaching the Earth’s limits. But can the future to be both richer and sustainable?

NEW: Our letter published today in the @FT questions @WorldBank fossil finance. Fossil fuels are not the future. Evidence shows pair­ing RE with long-dur­a­tion energy stor­age solu­tions provides a cleaner, more cost-effect­ive answer for most cases. ft.com/content/903a41e0-ea97…

Getting to carbon-neutral also means transforming our agricultural systems. But @IFC_org and @BIDInvest aren't helping. See "International Lenders Continue Pouring Money Into Meat and Dairy, Despite Climate Promises:" insideclimatenews.org/news/2…

This @S3F_global report––endorsed by 18 civil society organizations, including ours––urges @EBRD @IFC_org @WorldBank @BIDInvest and @EIB to #StopFinancingFactoryFarming expansion and exclude industrial livestock from sectors they consider “Paris-aligned.”

Multilateral development banks (MDBs) like @IFC_org & @BIDInvest continue to invest billions in #FactoryFarming. Our new @S3F_global report urges them to exclude industrial livestock & feed operations from sectors they consider “Paris-aligned.” foe.org/resources/climate-mi… 1/8 🧵

Ahead of the 🇯🇵-led @G7 Summit later this month, Japan’s PM Kishida @JPN_PMO is touring Africa this week. @ThuliMakama, @ndutagachie, Amos Nkpeebo & Daniel Ribeiro tell him: African communities want investments in renewables, not fossil fuels: context.news/just-transition…

Africans want renewables, not fossil fuel funding from G7 | Context by TRF

With Japan’s leader touring Africa, pressure is growing on G7 nations to support clean energy development on the continent rather than oil and gas

🚨NEW🚨 175 organisations call on the @OECD to end all new oil & gas export finance - AND launch a joint position explaining how it can be done. 50% of OECD member countries already committed to #StopFundingFossils, and now the rest must follow. Read more: wp.me/paO9Ct-aId

At #AUSummit, Africa’s leaders must speak with a common voice and: 🔥Call out claims that gas is a clean fuel 🌍Label gas what it is… a dangerous distraction for Africa 🌞Call for rapid transition to people-centered, clean energy #DontGasAfrica 🤝🏿 dont-gas-africa.org

#IFC should take note and support more circular economy approaches rather than expansion of environmentally destructive monoculture plantations.
Environmental Paper Network@WhatsNYourPapr14 Dec 2022
There are already nearly 1mill ha #eucalyptus plantations around Três Lagos, in Brazil’s #Cerrado biome. There are plans to double that, & build 4 new pulping plants. New EPN report reveals how pulp&paper industry is transforming the region, for the worse environmentalpaper.org/2022/…
Red fire raging against black night sky and silhouetted trees. An explosion of incidents of wildfire around Três Lagoas, Brazil, has coincided with the expansion of huge tracts of monoculture eucalyptus plantations.

This is also critical for supporting climate just development. As @NnimmoBassey and @AnabelaLemos write, fossil fuel extraction in Africa has deepened inequalities, failed to deliver energy access, & increased militarization and political oppression. fam.ag/3qXWrhi

The science is clear that investing in new fossil fuel infrastructure, including #LNG, is not compatible with 1.5°C, while clean energy investment needs are significant. Public finance should be used strategically to unlock large sums of private finance for just climate solutions
