@lotteleicht.bsky.socialWarm congratulations to Philippe Sands on receiving the 2026 Peace Prize of the German Book Trade in Frankfurt’s Paulskirche today.
For some his acceptance speech wasn't a comfortable one, and it wasn't meant to be.
@lotteleicht.bsky.socialPeace requires justice.
Warm congratulations to Navi Pillay on being awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize!
@lotteleicht.bsky.social📣 55 investors. Over €9 trillion in assets. One message to the European Commission, European Parliament and #EU member states: don't delay or mute the EU #MethaneRegulation‼️
@lotteleicht.bsky.social‘Explosion of melt rates’: 20% of Swiss glaciers lost in five years
Alpine regions in Europe experiencing extreme glacier collapse due to heat-trapping effects of fossil fuel pollution
@lotteleicht.bsky.socialEurope's data centers are growing fast. Why are we not allowed to see what they consume?
Lighthouse Reports has filed an important complaint against the European Commission under the Aarhus Convention.
@lotteleicht.bsky.socialUS datacenter discharged large amounts of pollution for almost a year with no permits
Records show Vineland facility in New Jersey emitted health-harming pollution before regulators stepped in
@lotteleicht.bsky.social⚖️ #ClimateJustice - Every #FossilFuel project comes with the same defense: Our emissions are a drop in the ocean.
That defense can and should be countered. A new open-source tool, the Carbon Impacts Tracer, turns a projects emissions into estimated real-world harm.
@lotteleicht.bsky.socialVon der Leyen Found the Words for the Damage. She Still Won't Say Who Should Pay for It:

@lotteleicht.bsky.social📣 Resistance: Nine US states are taking the #Trump administration to court to defend clean energy
⚖️ They are suing to stop the Trump administration from using taxpayer money to buy back offshore wind leases and kill renewable energy projects.
@lotteleicht.bsky.socialThe planet is burning.
Yesterday, the outgoing #UN SG accused big oil of treating "the atmosphere as an open sewer." His message was clear: "Those who polluted the most –and profited the most– must do far more to repair the damage they caused. Polluters must pay"
@lotteleicht.bsky.socialThe time to establish an #EU Climate Fund based on the Polluter-Pays Principle is NOW‼️
In my new piece, I explain why, and how it can be done. 👇

@lotteleicht.bsky.social#Klimakrise: EU kommissionens forperson fandt de rigtige ord for skader. Hun vil stadig ikke sige, hvem der skal betale for dem
Tiden er inde til at få oprettet en #EU-klimafond, som er baseret på princippet om, at forureneren betaler
Mit debat-indlæg in Globalnyt 👇
@lotteleicht.bsky.socialWorld leaders should:
➡️Stop treating #ClimateFinance as charity. The Loss and Damage Fund must be funded through mandatory, predictable contributions
➡️Make polluters pay. Those most responsible, historically & today -states & corporations who have profited from emissions, must pay their fair share
@lotteleicht.bsky.social🚨 7 of 9 planetary boundaries breached, at the highest levels ever recorded‼️
🚨Scientists have delivered an unambiguous verdict: the safe operating space for humanity is collapsing. Climate. Biosphere integrity. Freshwater. Land systems. Ocean acidification.

@lotteleicht.bsky.socialSatellites don't lie. EU Regulators shouldn't look away
A UCLA study, based on satellite data, has named the biggest #Methane "super-emitter" in the US
The #EU #MethaneRegulation should be implemented as adopted, not delayed, and not muted under external pressure
@lotteleicht.bsky.social🔥 #ClimateCrisis - we still have a choice, but the window is closing
PIK study finds that even in best-case climate scenario, #wildfires will burn 39% more of #Europe by the end of this century. In the worst-case scenario (3.6°C warming), burnt area nearly triples.

@lotteleicht.bsky.social⚖️ A LANDMARK LEGAL WIN FOR PEOPLE, THE PLANET, AND THE RULE OF LAW
#SouthAfrica's Constitutional Court has delivered a very important ruling:
#Shell's offshore oil and gas exploration right along the Wild Coast was set aside as unlawful.
@lotteleicht.bsky.socialUS announces campaign to dismantle #ICC
All ICC States should close ranks: reaffirming political, financial, and diplomatic support for the Court, protecting its officials and staff, and making clear that coercion aimed at one member is coercion aimed at all of them
