J’ai du mal à formuler des vœux pour cette année 2025. Dix ans après l’attentat ayant meurtri
#Charlie et nos libertés, j’aimerais seulement qu’on cesse de désigner des cibles vivantes aux jihadistes, qu’on cesse d’utiliser le mot « islamophobie » ou « génocidaires » pour désigner ceux qui résistent à l’islamisme ou refusent d’importer l’antisémitisme, qu’on cesse de inventer de faux racistes et qu’on tiennent tête aux vrais, qu’on cesse de croire que l’extrême droite a changé, qu’on continue à lui barrer la route, à elle et à tous les fabricants de haine. Ce qui suppose une gauche politique de nouveau laïque et #Charlie. Et non de trahir ces principes, de vendre son âme, pour précipiter un second tour entre deux extrêmes. Il n’est jamais top tard pour l’éviter.
Bonne année à tous les Franc-Tireurs ! @franctireurmag

The #LossandDamage fund is at home in Philippines, but what is the state of the Promises vs Action? With only $749.25 pledged, where do we stand? Let’s break it down

[Brice Couturier @briceculturier]

Les JO et Notre-Dame démontrent que nous pourrions encore faire de grandes choses ensemble, sans le travail de sape de ces politiciens médiocres qui vivent de nous diviser, d'opposer nos forces les unes contre les autres, au lieu de les fédérer pour le redressement du vieux pays.

Profondément inquiet de la disparition de Boualem Sansal depuis six jours, en Algérie.

Ingénieur, enseignant, écrivain de langue française, il incarne tout ce que nous chérissons : l’appel à la raison, à la liberté et à l’humanisme contre la censure, la corruption et l’islamisme. Avec un immense courage et un immense talent, Boulam Sansal dénonce les failles et les abus des pouvoirs iniques.

Je compte sur les autorités françaises et européennes pour obtenir des informations précises et pour faire en sorte qu’il puisse circuler librement et revenir quand il le souhaitera en France.

@FranceONUGeneve @FijiGeneva @PHinGeneva @ChildRightsCnct @TDH_IF @PlanUNGeneva @CRINwire @WCC4children @UNSRdevelopment @CMartinezDP @UNSRdevelopment stressed that #LossAndDamage disproportionately impacts #children, especially in climate-vulnerable countries, causing a dual disproportionality. The ways they are impacted are different.
"It's🎯 to see #children not only as victims, they are agents of change!"👏

Here is an example of #child participation in #ClimateAction as prescribed by the #CRC Committee through #GC26. Vesa & Nikola are our young experts on #child #rights and #environment in #Albania 👏

Persecution and discrimination due to sexual orientation or gender identity are growing. So is the number of people forced to leave their homes because of these abuses.

They need protection and support.

Nobody should be forced to flee because of what they are.

Children have rights and should be empowered to claim these rights. Children are agents of change.

Powerful interventions from several children at #HRC55 event. "Nothing about us without us"

Today over half a million took to the streets of London to stand with Palestine and demand a full #CeasefireNOW 🇵🇸

This article was written 112 years ago. 112 years and we still aren't doing what we need to do to address the climate crisis.

No time to wait. Let's make 2024 the year we #ActOnClimate

Global electricity system is shifting fast to renewables.
Global annual renewable capacity additions increased by almost 50% in 2023, the fastest growth rate in the past two decades. 22nd year in a row that renewable capacity additions set a new record.

[Save the Children International @save_children]

More than 10,000 children have been killed by Israeli airstrikes & ground operations in #Gaza in 100 days of war⚠️

This is 100 children on average a day.

For every day without a ceasefire, more children will die & be severely injured.

Wondering which wealthy industrialized nations are leaders and laggards in reducing GHG emissions?
Total GHG emissions 1990-2021
Laggards:
Australia up 24%
New Zealand up 19%
Canada up 14%
Ireland up 12%

US down only 2%
Norway down only 4%
Japan down 8%

Here is an example of keeping the General Comment on #childrights and #environment alive, integrating it in other agreements, also in line with #childrights mainstreaming @lexpsy

[Child Rights Connect @ChildRightsCnct]

Today, Raina Ivanova, a youth representative from Heirs to our Ocean, part of the WG on #Environment, spoke at the Task Force on #Access to #Information and stated: "Child-friendly information is not a 'nice to have'. It is the right of every child!" #AahrusConvention #childright

[Michel Anglade @michelanglade]

Good to see the General Comment 26 on children's rights, environment and climate change being launched in Asia, a region where large number of children are particularly vulnerable to climate change.
