At #Stockholm50, a huge diversity of voices called for concrete measures for a global #JustTransition, showing:

1/ The #FossilFuelTreaty places the claims of the most affected communities and therefore those of the indigenous peoples at the heart of its strategy in order to tackle the root cause of the #climatecrisis. Otherwise, as Nemonte Neuquino says, what are we talking about?
2/ During our #Stockholm50 pre-summit, Anoshka Violeta Irey Cameno also reaffirmed indigenous peoples' commitment to protect their #Amazon territories and their vision of development.
1. I wanted to share a project that I have been working on in my capacity as Head of Futures at #Planethon. It is called #TwentySeventyTwo / #TjugoSjuttiotvå (available in English & Swedish) and it's a @spotifypodcasts Original production. #Stockholm50 (unroll for the full story)
2. Each of the episodes is a beautifully produced radio drama with 8D sound that vividly brings to life one climate future 50 years from today from a multitude of possible futures. The stories are written and narrated by some of Sweden's premier storytellers. #Stockholm50
3. What makes this project different though is in the careful meeting between science and storytelling. My role in the project has been in providing science-based narrative scenarios that act as the underpinning and as inspiration, a starting point for each of the stories.

1/ @alexraf: We’ve heard across all of the panels that the risks of the FF industry are not only risks to our climate goals,we’ve heard about the ways that the FF industry risks our reliance with nature from communities in the Amazon facing continuing logic of the colonizers
2/ @alexraf: the risk of climate extraction is not only to the local community, it’s also to the overall structure of our political economy, and our culture.
Fifty years on from UN Summit, the International Science Council, Future Earth & the Stockholm Environment Institute convened an Expert Writing Group of natural scientists, social scientists & humanities scholars to modernize & extend the historical call on eve of Stockholm+50.
The writers are natural scientists, engineers, social scientists and scholars from many disciplines & countries. We see the evidence of global environmental change, assess its impacts, untangle its causes, & see the connections between our social & environmental challenges.
ATREE's, Dr Sharachchandra Lele is the Co-Chair of the Expert Writing Group. He says, "Technology empowers us to change the world, science predicts its impacts, social science illuminates our motives. But only an ethical framework tells us whether and how we should change it.

1/ Svitlana Romanko #StandWithUkraine: The war in Ukraine is not another war. Russia is a threat with high #FossilFuel resources that could be weaponized & used also against other countries.
The #FossilFuelTreaty provides the missing mechanism to phase-out fossil fuel and HOPE!

2/ Sylvie Ndongmo @WILPF, Cameroon: first of all, i am not in #Stockholm50 in person bec I could not get a visa. I was requested to travel to RDC or Nigeria to get a visa which is another example of inequalities and colonial power.

@Tzeporah: on behalf of the #FossilFuelTreaty, I would like to welcome you to this #PreSummit, co-hosted with the @StanleyConnect & @nordenen.
Support for the #FossilFuelTreaty idea is growing and today, we are going to deepen our strategic discussions with key diverse voices.

2/ @Tzeporah: in the last 50 y there have been significant moments of international cooperation to manage threats to our planet — from a nuclear ban treaty, to global cooperation to save the ozone, and recently, the UN decided to create the world's first global plastics treaty.

1/ @alexraf, global director of the #FossilFuelTreaty: this panel will offer reflections of activists around the world calling for a fair and equitable phase-out of oil, gas and coal, the main threat to our environment, climate and health🌎
2/ Andrés Gomez from @CensatAguaViva: in Colombia we have a history of #FossilFuels exploitation associated to violence & also to resistance, especially from indigenous peoples who consider oil as the blood of the earth and have had victories #NoAlFracking
THREAD #Stockholm50 week is here. Here, key messages from the @SEIresearch & @CEEWIndia report prepared for the UN meeting. @StockholmPlus50 @andersen_inger
3 shifts and 3 barriers to overcome - not easy, but 50+ concrete recommendations for action 🧵👇

3 shifts and 3 barriers to overcome - not easy, but 50+ concrete recommendations for action 🧵👇

1⃣ As @andersen_inger states in the foreword, time to lay the needed groundwork for systemic change.
Our starting point was the 1972 Stockholm Declaration, which really had all the key insights, on humans' unprecedented change and need for boundaries.

2⃣ We take stock of 50 years of global environmental governance.
📈Only around one-tenth of 200+ measurable global env and SD target have been met or seen significant progress.
Target-setting is not enough - the implementation gap needs to be closed.

As we head on to the week of #Stockholm50 I will share will share with you my journey.
Having born in N Uganda, we had to constantly move around as we faced wars.
I noted how it was always
women and children who faced the brunt of not getting the basics such as food and water.
We moved from Uganda to Congo to eventually settling in Tanzania where with tutelage from my uncle, I became a biology teacher through which I could impart my knowledge.
I regularly visited

I regularly visited
my home town in N Uganda and I saw how the shea trees that had been a massive part of my identity in my birth town being cut down for charcoal.
This was being done mostly by traders outside our community who would benefit living women who benefited from the shea trees

My project asks how environmental scientists and communicators deal with the emotional impact of working with alongside #EnvironmentalCrises.

Many of us a grieving for our planet, and sharing our #emotions could be vital in the continuing battle.

1/ The fast-growing call to criminalize #ecocide is now beginning to be heard in the halls of the #UnitedNations! It surfaced in the high level speeches at #UNEA, at the Youth Environmental Assembly and the Global Major Groups & Stakeholders Forum. stopecocide.earth/new-breaking-n… #UNEP
2/ Ecocide was mentioned in two key speeches: by #UNEA5 President, Norwegian Minister of Climate & Environment Mr. @EspenBarthEide & by Inger Anderson, Executive Director of @UNEP. Both recalled Olof Palme, Swedish Prime Minister, first using #ecocide in 1972 at the first #UNEA.
3/ #Ecocide is mentioned in the preamble of the statement of the Global Major Groups & Stakeholders Forum, acknowledging that “adding ecocide as the fifth crime to the #RomeStatute of the ICC would have a strong preventive effect on destructive actions.”
