NEW ANALYSIS: Implications of ICJ Advisory Opinion on the Climate Obligations of African States
In July 2025, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) delivered a unanimous opinion confirming countries’ international law obligations to advance climate action.
Bangladesh is advancing the conversation on a just transition. 🇧🇩
⚠️ The latest National Inventory Report, quietly released last week, shows that Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions progress is stagnating. Fossil fuel interests and political inaction are holding Canada back.

Asian civil society and climate justice advocates demand a just transition! ⚡✊🏽
As the energy crisis deepens, triggered by intensifying conflict in the Middle East, nations across Asia are forced to grapple with record-breaking fuel prices and severe supply disruptions. 🛢️
🚨
Only 2.8% of #ClimateFinance supports a #JustTransition; that’s $630M out of $22.7B. It is not good enough.
Our new report sets out how finance can actually protect jobs, livelihoods and communities for a just transition.

💡Taxing extraordinary profits by fossil companies is building momentum!
⚡Money generated can be used to shield households from spiking energy bills & support them in energy transition.
✅It is short-term measure - but it does not have to stop there! We urgently need permanent tax on fossil profits!
‼️Public financial support MUST come with environmental and social conditionalities.
… and there is already a lot going on. Read our 🆕 report on environmental and social conditionalities with lessons learned from Italy, Netherlands, France, Belgium, Germany & Poland. 👇

⚠️ Fall in gas-fired generation offset by large increases in solar & wind power, not coal

As our director @harjeet11.bsky.social puts it: "This is not the transformation we demand but a dangerous evasion of wealthy countries' responsibility... We need a roadmap that dismantles this unjust system."

#Climate #COP30
ENDS
❌ Omits L&D Gap: Glaringly omits a quantified finance gap for #LossAndDamage.
❌ Relies on Old Tools: Pushes loans & private finance over the grant-based public finance that is owed.

Where the $1.3T roadmap fails on #ClimateJustice:
❌ No 'Fair Share': Dilutes developed countries' historic responsibility by framing it as a "collective" effort.
❌ No 'Polluter Pays': Silent on liability. No mechanisms to hold polluters accountable.

Our analysis of the new #BakuToBelem Roadmap
It gets the diagnosis right but fundamentally fails to prescribe the cure
It correctly identifies crippling debt, inequality (top 10% emitters = 50% emissions) & systemic injustice; but not the solutions

Trump called climate change a “con job” at #UNGA. Our Founding Director @harjeet11.bsky.social responds: this is a reckless assault on our shared future, emboldening fossil fuels and rolling back hard-won progress. We must hold the US accountable and push for ambition at #COP30. ⏳🌍

Trump’s Scotland visit wasn’t just about golf. His call to "Get rid of the windmills and bring back the oil" is an attempt to meddle in our energy transition.
We have abundant wind resources which can provide us with energy security, lower bills, and good jobs.

1/8. 📢Today the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued a milestone advisory opinion ⚖️ affirming that States have a binding legal duty to prevent climate harm including #LossAndDamage and to protect #HumanRights from the impacts of the #ClimateCrisis. 🥳
@wy4cj.bsky.social
👏 The world's highest court has ruled that states have legal duties to act on climate change and that inaction violates human rights.
A huge victory for the planet, for the future, and led by the Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change.

My reaction to the International Court of Justice's historic Advisory Opinion on States' climate obligations:
"The ICJ ruling is a #watershed moment for #ClimateJustice. It's a resounding declaration: the era of impunity for polluters and complicit states is officially over."

INR 68,463 crore allocated for disaster relief, yet only INR 4,808 crore disbursed in 2024. Systemic gaps leave flood-hit farmers vulnerable.

Early monsoon raised hopes, but floods devastated farmers like Ram Kishan in Etawah. With only INR 250 relief per acre against INR 1,500 sowing costs, the aid falls short. Urge better disaster relief!

Fantastic new sister paper from
@PriceofOil exposes the funding gaps for a just energy transition, finding relying too heavily on the private sector means finance is not reaching most regions 🌍 or key sectors 🚄

💰Public finance can do more than just unlock markets.
⚖️ It can protect rights
🏠 Prevent displacement
🤝 And ensure no one’s left behind.
It’s investment that gives back - to the people.
