Without tackling ISDS, fossil fuel phase-out plans will keep hitting legal roadblocks.

Fixing both is essential for a just transition🌍

A just transition requires roadmaps to phase-out fossil fuels and ISDS
At COP30, calls to phase-out fossil fuels were blocked, but Colombia pushed on -also warning that ISDS remains a major barrier to the transition.

ISDS has enabled fossil fuel firms to extract $80B+ in public funds and sue governments for rejecting new coal, oil, and gas projects🛑

📢 A just transition means phasing out fossil fuels and the ISDS system that protects them 📢

A new contribution from @kylat.bsky.social sets out why reform to the investor–state dispute settlement (ISDS) system is essential for phase-outs.

Sponsoren-Deals mit fossilen Firmen haben aber auch Risiken, auf die @freddiedaley.bsky.social von Badvertising hinweist. Ein Hochwasser, das das Stadion trifft, und schon wird die Absurdität, dass man sich von einem Öl-Konzern sponsern lässt, überdeutlich. Aber mit diesem PR-Risiko lebt der HSV.

Shell ist eines der Unternehmen mit den größten CO2-Emissionen der Welt. Trotzdem hat der #HSV seine Zusammenarbeit mit Shell im Sommer zu einer "Exklusivpartnerschaft" ausgeweitet. In der Pressemitteilung geht`s um E-Ladesäulen und erneuerbare Energien. Es ist ein Paradebeispiel für Greenwashing. 🔽
Zu sehen ist ein Foto von der HSV-Website. Darauf zu sehen Vertreter von HSV und Shell, die Trikots hochhalten mit den Zahlen 20 & 28 und den Schriftzügen "Hamburger SV" und "Shell"

🛢️We cannot lose sight of phasing out fossil fuels.

@freddiedaley.bsky.social and @peternewell.bsky.social have a piece in The National Interest pushing back on the “build now, break later” mantra in the energy transition.

A 🧵 on why that approach is risky👇
We Cannot Lose Sight of Phasing Out Fossil Fuels
Phasing out the use of fossil fuels, not just simply rebuilding low-carbon systems, should be the goal of COP30.

In a landmark opinion, the ICJ found that phasing out fossil fuels isn’t just a scientific demand—it’s a legal imperative.
