Greta Thunberg Instagram – *share this* As authors and chairs, we staged a walk-out from my Edinburgh book festival half way through the event because it is unacceptable that their lead sponsor funds climate breakdown. Investment firm Baillie Gifford – lead sponsor of the festival and many other cultural festivals – has £5billion invested in companies who make money from fossil fuels. In response to criticism, the book festival have said that Baillie Gifford aren’t that bad, are working in the right direction and that as this £5billion only amounts to 2% of their portfolio, they’re doing alright. This is greenwashing in action. £5billion is a LOT. This is why companies causing – or financing and thereby enabling others to expand – the climate crisis should not be allowed to sponsor cultural events *until they completely divest*. Alongside 100 other authors who have signed our open statement (see last post), we call on Baillie Gifford to divest their £5billion invested in fossil fuel companies. If they do not do that, we call on @edbookfest to drop BG as a sponsor. If they do not do that, we have all pledged to boycott the festival next year.

I was so excited to be invited to speak on my book at the Edinburgh International Book Festival and would have loved to have had a full conversation there. But, we are in a dire situation with the climate crisis. Emissions are *still* rising every year. The UN and the IEA have been so clear: we can have no new fossil fuels if we want a liveable future. The industry and the many governments around the world (including the UK) are still ramping up production. So, we need to cut off the fossil fuel industry’s air: we need to cut off their money. Without it, they can’t continue to enact cultural and physical extermination of communities all over the world. There is power in action. There is power in making a stand. We have both everything to lose if we decide to sit back and just watch AND everything to gain for a transformed and better world if we decide to stand up, join others and take action. Thank you to everyone who stood by us today – let this be the beginning and not the end ✊🏽 don’t just watch us, join us: more actions linked in bio! Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Greta Thunberg Instagram – A historic referendum is taking place in Ecuador on August 20th.

It presents a unique opportunity to protect Yasuní, the most biodiverse place on earth.

It’s a critically important region for the health of the Amazon basin and for the planet as a whole. This is what real climate action looks like!

This referendum shows that when politicians and decision makers do not act, PEOPLE DO!

I support #SíAlYasuní

Español:
Este 20 de agosto hay una consulta popular histórica en el Ecuador.
Es una oportunidad única para proteger el Yasuní, el lugar con mayor biodiversidad de la tierra.
¡El Yasuni ITT tiene vital importancia para la salud de la cuenca amazónica y para todo el planeta!
Esta consulta popular demuestra que cuando los políticos y los gobiernos no actúan ¡LA GENTE SÍ LO HACE!
Esto es acción climática.
Yo Apoyo #SíAlYasuní
