After watching several live streams of @BBridgesCH #BuildingBridges24 events, I have to state the finance sector is not ready yet to face the unavoidable challenge of how to reduce fossil fuels and other harmful financing. Stop #Greenwash #takeaction
[1/4] Unchallenged, Patrick Odier @BBridgesCH #BuildingBridges24 at the @UNEP #GRT2024 advocates in favor of the Swiss finance way to deal with climate crisis based on transparency & collaboration avoiding "good or bad" speach. A so called "pragmatism" very far from reality đŸ§”

research shows: rich countries could raise five times the money that poor countries are demanding in climate finance, through windfall taxes on fossil fuels, ending harmful subsidies and a wealth tax on billionaires oilchange.org/publications/r

Die #Legislative = Politiker:innen akzeptieren die #Judikative = #EGMR nicht wegen einem angeblich politischen Entscheid - und versuchen ein Gerichtsurteil jetzt vice versa mit Politik zu bodigen ?!? Eine echte Posse........
Es kommt sogar noch schlimmer als unten beschrieben - kaum zu glauben 😳 ! Da wird in der Debatte im #StĂ€nderat tatsĂ€chlich eine Notiz des BAFU zitiert und von einem #Rieder als Grund angefĂŒhrt, die fehlerhafte ErklĂ€rung gegen den #EGMR zu ĂŒberweisen. Mini-Thread

Die #SNB investiert leider weiterhin in Firmen, die systematisch gravierende UmweltschĂ€den verursachen. Dazu gehören #Fracking Firmen. Vgl. unsere-snb.ch/2023/11/20/inv


Erstmals legte die Nationalbank den CO₂-Ausstoss ihrer Anlagen offen. Dabei habe sie massiv untertrieben, moniert die Klimaallianz. Das Thema beschĂ€ftigt jetzt den Nationalrat. tagesanzeiger.ch/co2-fussabd

Spot on quotes by @LBurnelius ! You cannot burn yourself out of a heating crisis! Don't replace single use plastic products with single use paper products and watch this documentary.

In parallel, countries like #SaudiArabia (they won't be the only ones!) plan to ‘hook’ poor countries on oil: driving a huge global investment plan to create demand for its oil and gas in developing countries, an undercover investigation has revealed. theguardian.com/environment/

The world now only has a 14% chance of limiting warming to the 1.5C target. Ahead of COP28, the latest UN report has estimated the size of the gap between the emissions trajectory implied by climate pledges and the one needed to limit warming on.ft.com/49S71Li

Plans by nations including #SaudiArabia, #USA and #UAE would blow #climatetargets and ‘throw humanity’s future into question". Can we dream about #COP28 in the UAE to reduce the threat for this horrible outlook??? #stopfossilfuels theguardian.com/environment/

I missed ONE big issue during the #uzh podium: do Mr. Carsten #BIS and Mr. Jordan #SNB accept the role they have to play to support resolving the climate&biodiversity crisis, adopt the 1-for-1 rule for new fossil fuel projects & rewrite necessary financial rules for this?

Indeed, #Greenwashing Finance is a big issue! See also where it can lead to in terms of costs and reputation loss in the story of #DWS and others: letemps.ch/economie/finance/

BREAKING: Greenwashing leads to further climate destruction! Today we held the #BuildingBridges23 Summit accountable @BBridgesCH: By dumping debris from recent climate disasters in Switzerland, we returned the damages to the main responsible actors. Why is this crucial? A thread:

👀 flawed process alarm: over the last 18 months, rights holder and civil society organizations have raised persistent concerns about the #TNFD – including that it has failed to respond to evidence and specific concerns that its framework will facilitate corporate #greenwashing
Today, a group of global corporations launched their solution to the biodiversity crisis they helped create: a framework on how to report on nature risk. Would you trust a fox reporting on how many chicken there are left in the hen house? forestsandfinance.org/news/t
