🌍This #EarthDay, let’s remember-a greener future must also be a fairer one.
Local communities & Indigenous Peoples are on the frontlines of climate change & too often pay the highest price for the energy transition.
💬 “We cannot build a regenerative future with extractive thinking. We need a new mindset rooted in respect and justice.” — Galina Angarova from the SIRGE Coalition.
Let’s centre Indigenous leadership & reciprocity in the path forward 🧑🏽🤝🧑🏽✊

The #EU wants to replace its corporate accountability directives #CSRD & #CSDDD by a weak #omnibus proposal.
Amongst other setbacks, the omnibus would erase sector-specific standards for #oil, #gas & #mining industries.
Read the CSO statement: corporatejustice.org/publications...
😡The #EU #omnibus prioritises corporate profits over people.
It is a slap in the face of Global South communities harmed by extractive industries.
The EU needs to show leadership for justice & rights.
👀The world is watching.

« Ni le gouvernement ni les entreprises ne se soucient de nos voix. Nous, les autochtones, qui vivons sur cette terre depuis des générations, sommes persécuté·e·s pour l'avoir protégée », déclare Yurni Sadariah, représentante de la tribu autochtone des Paser.
« Les personnes les plus vulnérables de la société sont celles qui sont les plus touchées par le changement climatique », déclare Becca Dakini de @oxfamaustralia.bsky.social

“The most vulnerable in society are the ones who are most disproportionately affected by climate change.” says Becca Dakini of @oxfamaustralia.bsky.social
"Community isn't just something you do; it's something you feel, something you live. That's why self and mutual care are so central to us...Every territory is the beginning of the world for people who live there." says Loreto Vasquez Salvador
