“We're in 2023 in the middle of a climate crisis, and while destroying a village to expand one of the biggest carbon bombs in Europe should be considered criminal, it is still legal. Fossil fuel companies' influence is so powerful that the ones considered criminals now are the ones fighting for climate justice. It is time to hold fossil fuel companies accountable.”

“The democracy emergency is closely linked to the climate crisis. Each is grounded in a big lie - that climate science is a hoax, that Trump won in 2020 - pushed by the same rightwing politicians and propaganda “news” outlets and embraced with cult-like devotion by Trump's followers. Left untreated, each threatens disaster. If Trump's forces do change enough electoral rules and personnel to guarantee victory in 2022 and beyond, there is zero chance the US government will take the strong climate action needed to avert global catastrophe.”

“We ended the longest war in US history, yet Congress just passed a $768 BILLION defense budget - more than the military budgets of the next 11 countries combined. Don't tell me we can't afford to fight poverty, cancel student debt, pass paid leave, and defeat the climate crisis.”

“A tiny elite appear to have a free pass to pollute. Their oversized emissions are fuelling extreme weather around the world and jeopardising the international goal of limiting global heating.”

“We think of our air as being relatively clean in North America. And so one of the things I think is so incredible is how many people are still affected by our air quality, even though it's so much better than it was decades ago. The striking predictions suggest human actions to curb air pollution now can make a difference in both the long and short term. Fewer children going to the hospital with asthma attacks, fewer elderly people dying of respiratory illnesses or heart attacks. I think most anywhere that takes action to mitigate climate change can expect to see enormous benefits very, very rapidly … if the whole world co-operates, then of course, we also solve the climate crisis.”

“The bill will represent the most significant investment to address the climate crisis ever and will truly transform this nation. We are going to get off the sidelines of manufacturing solar panels and wind farms. The package will help double the number of electric cars on US roads within three years and provide 500,000 new charging stations for the vehicles. We are once again going to be the innovators. It's a big deal. The weather is not going to get better, it's going to get a heck of a lot worse. It's a blinking code red for America and the world.”

“But achieving the $100 billion target alone would not be enough to contain rising global temperatures and cope with the effects of climate change. Instead, the world's financial systems need to reflect the costs of climate inaction. That means companies, banks, investors, and other players will need to reduce investments in high emission activities while boosting funding for climate-friendly goods, services, and infrastructure. The $100 billion is essential as a trust-building issue, and the president's announcement was hugely helpful in that regard. At the same time, it will never be enough to affect the transformation that the Paris Agreement requires-which needs trillions in investment, not billions.”

“Over the course of the meeting, a sense of optimism for the future, despite the hard times we're in, was on full display. The leaders did discuss the challenge posed by China, and they made clear that none of them have any illusions about China, but today was not fundamentally about China. Much of the focus was on pressing global crises, including the climate crisis, and COVID-19.”

“This year’s devastating forest fires, floods, and droughts and other unfolding extreme weather events serve as powerful reminders for why we must succeed in tackling the climate crisis. As we seek to reboot economies following the COVID-19 pandemic, investing in low-carbon energy and infrastructure will be good for jobs, for economies, for health, and for clean air. Governments must seize the opportunity to direct their economies and energy systems away from fossil fuels, and build back better towards a more just, sustainable, and resilient future.”
