Happy to share our new OA paper with @philpaiement.bsky.social. We argue that the courtroom can become one site within a larger praxis of breaking the chains of climate coloniality. Thanks @teljournal.bsky.social for publishing our piece! Access 🔗: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

What a pleasure to have @juanauz.bsky.social with us at HSU Hamburg to discuss the IACtHR advisory opinion as it connects to the lives, material realities, and fights of social movements in LatAm, especially of indigenous communities. Thank you so much for the brilliant and thought-provoking talk!

Is there any complementarity between the ICJ's and the IACtHR's advisory opinions on climate change? I argue there is, specifically on attribution, causation, and remedies, albeit from specific approaches. Thanks to @voelkerrechtsblog.org for the space and a shoutout to the symposium organizers!

The ICJ just opened the floodgates for international climate litigation. Now is the time when every single climate-vulnerable state must file a lawsuit against the imperialist fossil fuels axis, namely the US, the UK, OPEC countries, Norway, etc. A new dawn for climate reparations!

Folks are excited about the groundbreaking Inter-American Court’s Advisory Opinion. It declares that the prohibition of significant environmental harm is jus cogens. However, do you know what other prohibition is also a jus cogens norm and has been for a long time? Genocide! How is that going?

The Inter-American Court just issued its advisory opinion on the climate emergency, and it is PATHBREAKING! It recognizes the rights: - to a safe climate - of Nature - And environmental protection as jus cogens! Europe: No to a right to a healthy environment, and we are complicit in genocide 🫠

Exactly this! Climate activists who refuse to integrate anti-genocide and anti-imperialist dimensions in their political discourse and praxis because “it is unrelated” are not safe from fascism. Saving the planet without liberating Palestine is likening gardening to Ecology.

This statement is quite discomforting. It is concerning that the organizers of the ESIL2025 conference at FU, the university that censored Albanese and Weizman’s talk, suggested that the censored event was “antisemitic.” The statement is silent on that tactic of silencing. Will FU censor again?

If you think leftist rebels are political absentees, meet Leonidas Iza, an Indigenous Marxist who fared quite well in the recent Ecuadorian elections. He chairs the National Indigenous Confederation and led the 2019 strikes against neoliberal austerity. He wrote a materialist account of that event.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.
Ridgeline chart showing the distribution of global daily air temperature differences from the pre-industrial reference period (1850-1900), for every year between 1940 and 2024. Each individual year resembles a hill, shaded in a darker shade of red and further to the right for warmer years. The trend is clearly towards warmer years, with 2024 standing out as first year above 1.5C.

If decision-makers are not convinced or moved by arguments about the obscenity of climate-induced pain and extinction, then maybe asset losses might persuade them. Or they might be lured by those who have a way to render the crisis profitable.

One of the most comprehensive studies available finds that in 2015 alone the imperial core appropriated $10 trillion from the periphery. Now, at COP29, imperial powers are promising to provide just $250bn in climate financing by 2035. That's a 40th of what was taken in that single year.
