Today’s edition of #TakingThePulse at #COP29. It’s high time we gave fossil fuel lobbyists the boot from COP. 🥾 @CAPE_ACME


It’s high time that #COP moved from negotiation to implementation. The #climate crisis isn’t waiting for anything or anyone. We urgently need to phase out fossil fuels and deliver on an agreement that safeguards our #health and #climate. @CAPE_ACME reuters.com/sustainability…

Many countries signed a global Declaration on Planetary Health last year. Now they have to turn plans into reality. Inspiring to hear from @CAPE_ACME’s @courtghoward at the @WHO Health Pavilion on how we can move forward together.

Hearing from @jossreimer who is presenting at @WHO’s Health Pavilion alongside @courtghoward from @CAPE_ACME She points out that in 🇨🇦, health systems are responsible for more emissions (5%) than sectors like aviation. Greening healthcare is a key piece of the puzzle.

Thanks to @AndrewDowieMPP and staff from the office of @Sflecce for taking time to connect with @CAPE_ACME at #COP29. It’s great to see the Ontario government engaging in the COP process. Some of the most important climate action happens at the provincial + municipal levels.

We'll just leave these foxes here to guard this henhouse... 3 out of 7 members of a board that backed Premier Smith’s 2023 pause on renewable energy projects were previously executives at fossil fuel giant, TC Energy. @CAPE_ACME @YourAlberta @theAESO thenarwhal.ca/alberta-renewa…


Folks, let’s call a spade a spade. So-called ‘natural’ gas is not a tool for decarbonization - it’s a fossil fuel that, when burned, heats our planet and imperils our health. Disheartened to see greenwashing on full display at #COP29’s Canada Pavilion. @CAPE_ACME

There are 28 fossil fuel lobbyists from 🇨🇦 at #COP29Baku. I’m quite sure that number doesn’t include the biggest Canadian booster of coal, oil and gas on site - Alberta Environment Minister Rebecca Schulz. I can’t believe we’re having this conversation in 2024. @CAPE_ACME

Another #COP, another deluge of fossil fuel lobbyists working to undo progress on #climate and #health. ‘At least 1,773 coal, oil, and gas lobbyists have been granted access to the United Nations climate talks in Baku.’ @CAPE_ACME amp.theguardian.com/environment/20…


Check out our first-ever #TakingThePulse @CAPE_ACME video interview at #COP29 - featuring Dr. Mili Roy, our CAPE Ontario Chair. @jvipondmd


It was great to have @cathmckenna join us at our @WHO Health Pavilion panel on the health harms of fossil fuels and the dangers of greenwashing. “It is not freedom of speech to lie repeatedly to Canadians.” 🔥 @CAPE_ACME

As usual, there’s no space for questions at what has become an annual greenwashing display from the Government of Alberta at #cop. It’s so unfortunate that we’re having this type of conversation - predicated on never-ending oil - at a climate conference in 2024. @CAPE_ACME

From John Adams -NGIF Capital: “I don’t believe in lofty emissions targets… I believe in reducing carbon intensity.” This is an argument for eternal fossil fuel use, with a minister representing Canada’s worst climate actor, on stage at #COP29’s 🇨🇦 Pavilion. Ugh. @CAPE_ACME

Hearing from Kelly Ogie of Emissions Reduction Alberta on the need for gov’t $$ for carbon capture and storage. I thought 🇨🇦 agreed to phase out fossil fuel subsidies. How much longer will taxpayers be asked to prop up a technology that hasn’t worked at scale? @CAPE_ACME
