As the #climatecrisis accelerates more people are starting to sense the need for transformative change. So I'm putting together a THREAD of THREADs about all things #climatejustice, from history to core tenets and demands, from movement strategy & dynamics to hot takes
We have lift off. Firstly here are some seminal #climatejustice statements and declarations going back to a time before most of the school strikers were born! https://twitter.com/ClimateJustInfo/status/1123954460919762944?s=20
Here's a history of how #climatejustice as a concept has been defined, including plenty resources and links https://twitter.com/n_thanki/status/1151123886110597122?s=20
These are (some) #climatejustice demands explained https://twitter.com/gcdcj/status/1156249380204220416?s=20
This is a thread on the impacts of a mere 1c warming (bad news: we're heading for 4+) https://twitter.com/chilledasad100/status/1108160200815443968?s=20
On the need for equity in the #greennewdeal (a bit different in how it's described but the same spirit as the key #climatejustice approach of equitable effort-sharing of global action) https://twitter.com/rgunns/status/1099858906837385217?s=20
I'm going o end up including a lot of threads about *WHITE LIBERAL MIDDLE CLASS ENVIRONMENTALISM* but here's just one https://twitter.com/MeeraGhani/status/1130010701337124864?s=20
what it says on the tin https://twitter.com/rjkennerley/status/1120975995929022464?s=20
on the false dichotomy of behaviour change vs #systemchange https://twitter.com/bunnysnack/status/1147082043567697921?s=20
An absolutely fire speech from Labour's international social forum https://twitter.com/n_thanki/status/1150002611111825408?s=20
another topic that'll get a few threads in this THREAD OF THREADS - here's an exchange about why net-zero targets aren’t any good and we should demand real reductions to near-zero https://twitter.com/n_thanki/status/1155772886289985537?s=20
On what fires burning through the arctic means for the world https://twitter.com/n_thanki/status/1153586565995782144?s=20
A thread on the risks faced by #EnvironmentalDefenders https://twitter.com/mary_menton/status/1159222708497985536?s=21
Another polemic from the irrepressible @chilledasad100 this time on the relationship between #food #land #climatechange in wake of #IPCCreport *will blow the scales off your eyes* https://twitter.com/chilledasad100/status/1159840780103475201?s=21
An evergreen thread in response to prominent calls for delegates from around the world to get a boat to international summits.

If you want to fight the devil you have to go to hell. You can’t Skype in. #climatejustice https://twitter.com/nataliejon_es/status/1160552410126913537?s=21
Because of the scale of the challenges we face, reactionary, nihilistic & despairing ideas are spreading. This thread (from an account you should follow) calls on us to accept our responsibility to fight for #climatejustice rather than human extinction https://twitter.com/islanoname/status/1164365448697339905?s=21
A must-view thread of videos from a lecture by outspoken & brilliant @KevinClimate where he dismantles negative emissions technologies & other unicorn fantasies, explains what would be a fair division of #climateaction and reveals some startling numbers https://twitter.com/jumpsteady/status/1167119243835576325?s=21
Great thread on #systemchange ahead of September 20-27 #climatestrike - social change is complicated, non-linear, and hard to track. (N.B. the examples/historic memory is entirely western-centric) https://twitter.com/bethsawin/status/1174342381728083969?s=21
She’s only gone and done it again! Another brilliant thread from the field of systems dynamics which goes some way to explaining why the world is how it is https://twitter.com/bethsawin/status/1179746115081719808?s=21
Insightful thread critiquing the oversimplified way #ExtinctionRebellion talk about civil disobedience - and reminding us of the need to embrace a diversity of tactics within the movement https://twitter.com/andrewflood/status/1140611456033013761?s=21
I guess this shitty thread about tactics and multiple truths https://twitter.com/n_thanki/status/1184871235672530944?s=20
This thread is short but contains insight that even seasoned organisers forget. It’s about XR but it applies much more widely https://twitter.com/onalifeglug/status/1185499239532650496?s=21
Back to sharing #climatejustice resources! This is a thread of work which covers a lot of ground in a clear and concise way https://twitter.com/n_thanki/status/1191793698385719296?s=21
a little bit delayed in adding this but here’s a thread working through a collectively developed #climatejustice statement in response to #COVID19 including global demands for shaping the response https://twitter.com/gcdcj/status/1253441346842562560?s=21 https://twitter.com/gcdcj/status/1253441346842562560
Great thread on the reality of emissions reductions pathways to stay below 1.5, and the “dangerous myth” (or as I call it bold faced lie and polluters’ get out of jail free card) that we can use technology like BECCS to suck out all the pollution we are going to do in the future https://twitter.com/PatrikErdes/status/1308881427992399872
Here’s a long thread from @MuellerTadzio asking some challenging and probing questions of the massive #FridaysForFuture movement, as many school strikers have recently expressed frustration that their widespread mobilisations have not led to concrete climate policies https://twitter.com/MuellerTadzio/status/1318817080108605440
Not exactly climate justice but relevant for thinking about conflict and difference within social movements https://twitter.com/Archimbaldo/status/1325178446922833920
Because the United States refuses to go away, we have to deal with it - as Brandon does here in a great thread about the US’ fair share of global climate action https://twitter.com/brandoncwu/status/1329170457766014979
