Hundreds of people stop digger at lignite mine Garzweiler by civil disobedience. German gov incl Green party is intent on evicting the occupation of #Luetzerathbleibt in the next days despite the escalating climate crisis and this coal not being needed for energy supply.

Hunderte Menschen sind beim Dorfspaziergang in @LuetziBleibt ausgebrochen und haben den Bagger zum stehen gebracht. Die Polizei hat angesichts der Menschenmasse kapituliert. #LützerathBleibt
Hunderte Menschen stehen vor einem Kohlebagger, der deswegen den Betrieb einstellen musste.

Also, to explain some of the biodiversity and rights issues and solutions in more detail, here is a podcast mini-series that I recorded this year with some very knowledgeable guests from around the world. 11/11

Conclusion: without stopping and reversing the damage of Western extractivism, land grabs and pollution there is no credible way to sustain a healthy biosphere. As civil society in Europe I think we need to focus as much on biodiv as on climate. 9/x

It is also hardly possible under the current terms of the treaty. Therefore, it is crucial to support Indigenous communities to get their land rights recognised in the next years/decades - also when challenged by the need for "western style conservation" 7/x

Due to the public pressure and the resistance of Indigenous groups to land dispossession the treaty includes some wording on the rights of Indigenous communities. But many groups understandably want to self-govern their land on their own terms. This is not achieved. 6/x

Indigenous people steward 80% of terrestrial biodiv on their land. Protected area increases can lead to even more land dispossession of Indigenous peoples and local communities depending on national laws and implementation. 5/x

The underlying drivers of destruction are economic, social and political. As IPBES (IPCC for biodiv) concluded in 2019 report "we have to abandon the paradigm of economic growth". Therefore, we need a different economic system if we want to keep alive in a healthy biosphere. 4/x

Public focus mainly on one target to protect 30% of the Earth' surface. Without stopping the drivers of biodiv loss this alone will be insufficient. Logically, agribusiness, overfishing, pollution etc must be greatly reduced everywhere not only in "protected areas". 3/x

It is also not the first such agreement though many news outlets claim that.. In 2010 in Aichi 20 quite good targets were set, however, none of them were achieved until 2020. Similar to climate treaties the problem is implementation not primarily targets. 2/x

The Swedish government is (yet again) denying the rights of the Indigenous Saami population and wrecking their forests at the same time.

Martin Pigeon - @Martin_Pigeon@mamot.fr
@marpinoir
The current government of Sweden tries to block the EU giving indigenous people a “right to free, prior and informed consent” (FPIC) before their forests are logged because "it is not a right". Instead, it argues, they should just be "consulted". And ignored? @SaamiCouncil

A #LossAndDamage fund is a huge win achieved mainly by people in the global South, working for decades without giving up. There are still many things to do locally and globally, one is to make sure rich & polluting countries contribute their fair share into the fund swiftly.

In Finland legislation to recognise Indigenous rights is stalled just because of the liberals. Shame on you

At least the debate around the act on Sámi parliament has exposed the underlying racism still strong in the Centre party’s desire to limit Sámi Indigenous rights related to having a say regarding competing forms of land use on traditional territories. euronews.com/2022/11/14/san

Ihr erinnert euch, wie die Polizei einen 16-Jährigen in Dortmund erschoss? Und an die Behauptung, es wäre Notwehr? Es kam raus, dass er sie nicht attackiert hat und die 6 Schüsse nur 0,717 Sekunden nach Tasereinsatz erfolgten. Mouhamed wurde ermordet. Und es ist klar, warum.
