Clara Tomé

As an #EUClimatePact Ambassador, my duty is not just to represent the Pact and its goals, but also to engage in honest reflection — to ask difficult questions, and to advocate for a climate transition that is not only fast, but fair, inclusive, and just. We often hear about the EU’s remarkable leadership in climate policy, the commitment to becoming carbon neutral by 2050, the incredible investments in renewable energy, and the regulations that are shaping the global conversation. These are significant achievements but we tend to forget that the climate crisis is not only a crisis of emissions, but a crisis that reveals all the structural injustices we have inherited and, far too often, continue to perpetuate. Colonialism, racism, extractivism — these are not relics of the past; they are embedded in the very foundation of how we approach energy, land, and resources today. And so, if in our rush to become carbon neutral, we continue to displace local and Indigenous communities, like in Congo, in Bolivia, in the Philippines or even in Molina de Segura, if we turn a blind eye to biodiversity loss and the erosion of human and nature’s rights, then we have understood what really took us here in first place. The climate crisis demands more than technological solutions; it demands a rethinking of our relationship with people, with nature, and with power. So we must ensure that the green transition does not become a new chapter in an old story of extraction and exclusion. The EU and any western country must learn the power of self-reflection and self-criticism, as we all must, not to dwell in guilt, but to evolve. To grow, to ensure we do not repeat the mistakes of the past under the illusion of progress or a greener future. Because true climate leadership is not about how fast we build the future — it’s about how justly we do it. Deeply grateful with the @ep_eye team for inviting me to speak at the Parliament about climate justice in front of hundreds of future leaders, it was an honor to share the space with @lena.ats and Chief Tau Metuktire @planeteamazone , and an even greater honor to receive such thoughtful and encouraging words from many of you afterward.

La campaña global #SpeakVolumes aterriza en España de la mano de @theorispresent y @asociacionames para visibilizar el exceso de producción textil y sus impactos en la naturaleza y en comunidades. Desde #ContarEstaDeModa invitamos y llamamos a las marcas españolas a compartir y publicar sus volúmenes de producción. ¿Por qué? Porque a día de hoy se desconocen estos datos y necesitamos conocer las cifras exactas para poder abogar por políticas efectivas que aborden este problema de sobreproducción y de residuos textiles. 📢Así que call to action: si eres una marca de moda, accesorios y/o zapatos española, contáctanos para recibir el formulario y sumarte a esta iniciativa. Únete a marcas como @adidas , @mango @twothirds_bcn o @baterabrand que ya han dado este paso y demuestra que la moda española puede ser un referente en transparencia y responsabilidad. Por eso nomino a @zara @scalperscompany y a @bimbaylola a dar un paso al frente y publicar sus volúmenes de producción. ¿Y tú a quién nominas? Etiqueta en comentarios a la marca que te gustaría ver unirse a esta campaña.

Amazonía, eres un viaje profundo directo al corazón. Nunca nos conocimos, pero siempre te quise. Tú fuiste la razón de por qué empecé a cuestionarme tantas cosas. También supe que algún día nos encontraríamos frente a frente y ahora que te miro desde dentro de tus entrañas, abrazo tu abundancia mientras aprendo sobre la memoria ancestral de los pueblos que habitaban estos caminos, caminos que llevan las huellas del dolor y la resistencia del pasado (y del presente) Los días que pasé en la zona andino-amazónica se sintieron como meses. Aprendí junto a Doris y Carlos, del pueblo Kamëntšá, sobre el conocimiento ancestral y el poder de curación de las plantas para la salud física y mental; a pedir permiso a la Naturaleza, a respirar. Ese aprendizaje abrió también otro cajón: el de una memoria atravesada por el despojo colonial, ausente en la mayoría de libros de historia y que a penas autores como Galeano han conseguido rescatar. Hay memorias que incomodan porque obligan a mirar aquello que durante siglos preferimos ignorar pero que son necesarias para entender la profundidad de lo que se ha perdido y la fuerza de lo que aún resiste. Esa fuerza se siente en lugares como la cascada sagrada de Hornoyaco, dejando que te bautice, que te atraviese, recordándote que a pesar de las heridas abiertas, la violencia, las cicatrices sobre la Tierra, los ríos, y los cuerpos, la vida sigue brotando con fuerza, y lo hace en todas partes: en la selva, en las montañas, en la memoria de quienes resisten. Pero también en lo cotidiano, en la calidez de una arepita, un tintico y una sonrisa genuina que llega al alma.

Santa Marta today becomes the epicenter of a conversation that the world has postponed too long. Today, the high-level sessions begin with leaders from more than 50 countries, as this conference moves toward concrete commitments to transition away from fossil fuels. In this context, global movements have already set the tone and we the people have made our statement loud and clear through the People’s Declaration for a Rapid, Equitable, and Just Transition to a Fossil-Free Future. Built collectively by frontline communities, Indigenous Peoples, Afro-descendants, workers, women, and youth, the Declaration puts forward a clear message: the time for negotiation has passed, now is the time for implementation, grounded in climate justice, real finance, and solutions that match the scale of the crisis and leave no one behind.

It starts now. We have officially submitted the European Citizens’ Initiative for the Rights of Nature. This is the first step towards bringing nature into European law — recognising ecosystems as rights-holders. Now, the journey begins. 🌍 1 million signatures. 👉 Join the movement.

You can’t love what you don’t know. @iamcleer is an environmental law expert, a model, and an advocate for the rights of nature and environmental justice. I’m so glad people like Clara exist in this world. People who defend and fight for our Mother’s rights 💛

To walk lightly on Earth is to remember that we humans are guests, not rulers.

how can we actually solve the climate crisis?🌎 @iamcleer and @kikilindenau sat down for @unbound.thepod to uncover the biggest lies told by the fossil fuel industry about climate change, and how we can shift power to those that are the real heroes in this fight: indigenous communities, who are risking their lives to make ours worth living. 🌿 here’s the uncomfortable truth: we will not be able to save the planet if we rely on solutions that function within our capitalist, colonial system. we need real change — Rights of Nature, earth jurisprudence, and a return to who we actually are: part of nature, not separate from it. want to play a part in actually solving the climate crisis? @rightsandrootsorg is a pioneer organization, supporting Indigenous peoples and environmental defenders through rights-based solutions to advance climate and environmental justice. donate via the link in @unbound.thepod ’s bio✊ and comment NATURE to get the podcast link straight to your inbox! 🚀 #climatechange #rightsofnature #activism #ecosocialism #degrowth

Los manglares no solo capturan enormes cantidades de CO₂, también sostienen vida, protegen comunidades y mantienen el equilibrio de ecosistemas enteros. En Panamá, donde los derechos de la naturaleza ya son reconocidos a nivel nacional, hoy enfrentamos una contradicción: proyectos como Puerto Barú podrían impactar de manera irreversible a estos ecosistemas tan vitales. 🔗✍🏽Ayúdame a defender los derechos de los manglares firmando la petición en la bio de @theoxygenproject.es @theoxygenproj y haz que tu voz cuente. #DefiendeLosManglares Mangroves don’t just capture massive amounts of CO₂, they also sustain life, protect communities, and keep entire ecosystems in balance. In Panama, where the rights of nature are recognized at a national level, we are facing a contradiction: projects like Puerto Barú could irreversibly impact these vital ecosystems. 🔗✍🏽 Help me defend the rights of mangroves by signing the petition in the bio of @theoxygenproject.es @theoxygenproj and make your voice count. #DefendTheMangroves
