As #ExtremeHeat Bakes US, 160+ #Global Groups Demand 'Real' #ClimateAction
Reject #FalseSolutions, such as #NaturalGas, #MegaDams, #geoengineering, #bioenergy, forest offsets, #CarbonTrading schemes, #NuclearEnergy, biodiversity credits, and #CarbonCapture and storage.

Excerpt: " 'While #governments and #corporations push us deeper into #ClimateChaos, movements around the world are rising,' she noted. 'From every corner of the Earth, women leaders are coming together with solutions and strategies to defend our planet and our communities. We call on governments and financial institutions to heed their voices and ensure effective and equitable policies—from Bonn to Belém and beyond. We must rise boldly, because climate change is not waiting for politics. Our movements are not bending. We are not breaking. We are defining and building a healthy and just future for all.'
"The new call to action points out that 'last year, the world breached this threshold with global average temperatures exceeding 1.5ºC above preindustrial levels. This alarming milestone is not yet a permanent breach of the Paris agreement guardrail, which refers to long-term warming, although scientists predict that 2024 will be the first of a 20-year period reaching 1.5ºC warming.'
" 'Although the pathway is drastically narrowing, the International Energy Agency affirms that the goal of the Paris agreement is still attainable,' the publication continues. 'Scientists assert that limiting global warming to 1.5ºC will require significant and urgent action from governments and financial institutions.'
"Specifically, the coalition outlined 10 broad actions for governments and financial institutions, beginning with urging both the public and private sectors to end fossil fuel expansion and extraction, and to 'reject false solutions, such as natural gas, mega-dams, geoengineering, bioenergy, forest offsets, carbon trading schemes, nuclear energy, biodiversity credits, and carbon capture and storage.'
"The collective also called for accelerating a just transition, promoting women's leadership and gender equity, protecting the rights of #IndigenousPeoples, safeguarding #forests and #biodiversity, preserving oceans and freshwater, advancing #FoodSecurity and #sovereignty, implementing the #RightsOfNature, providing robust climate finance, and cutting off financial institutions' support for 'harmful projects and redirecting resources into climate solutions.'
