RT @Madsflarup: Everyone has skin in the climate game, but most G20 major emitters and Norway didn’t step up. Leaders of the biggest emitting countries can and must usher in a fossil fuel free future for all – if not, we will hold them to account on the streets, in the courts and at COP28.

RT @LouisaCasson: Can’t believe we have to say this, but Norway should #StopDeepSeaMining in the Arctic @SVparti has a historic opportunity to stop the Norwegian government from their disastrous plans - the international community is watching keenly! 👀

Norway's minority government should halt plants to open the Arctic to deep sea mining and support a moratorium: great to see this strong call from the Socialist Left party in Norway, prioritising ocean protection & a sustainable transition 💪💙
