So proud of the @RESCUEorg team in Katowice, Poland, who have been working with Ukrainian refugees since the Russian invasion. Thanks for the welcome and results.
The loss of 41 people in a shipwreck yesterday off #Italy is appalling.
The EU must urgently expand access to safe, regular routes to protection and scale up search and rescue operations. Without intervention, these avoidable tragedies will persist.
WATCH: International Rescue Committee President @DMiliband says displacement caused by climate change hasn't been adequately addressed.
"The striking feature of the climate crisis is most of those countries on the frontline have done least to contribute to it."
Why is a region that contributes just 0.3% bearing such a high cost of climate change?
Decades of political decisions have left millions in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and conflict.

The demographics of the migrants at the border has changed over the past 30 months says @RESCUEorg Mexico Country Director, Rafael A. Velasquez Garcia. “Our community center in Mexico City is helping people from Russia and Ukraine, Sierra Leone and Sri Lanka.” #velshi
The world's poorest countries that have contributed the least to climate change are being hit first and worst.
The test of the government's rhetoric will be whether it helps pull the world's poorest back from the brink.

Re Sudan: The evacuations can help 100s or 1000s. That’s important. But @RESCUEorg we stay to deliver for the millions left behind. This needs MUCH greater focus.
"If the next two decades are like the last two, marked by the West’s confused priorities and failed promises, multipolarity in the global system will come to mean more than greater economic competition. It will mean strengthened ideological challenges to the principles of Western countries and weakened incentives for non-Western countries to associate or cooperate with the West." - @DMiliband
There is no easy solution to solving global hunger—but there is also no excuse for failing to fix the symptoms. Here’s how we can begin to tackle childhood malnutrition, per @DMiliband: https://t.co/YOuK9YSlma
It’s scarcely believable that 80 PER CENT of acutely malnourished kids get NO HELP. But it’s true. Here is a plan to turn that round. https://t.co/8BM3n8fa9M
The Summit for Democracy will address emerging challenges to democracy – but what about accountability?
Tune in for this conversation tomorrow at 10 AM ET with @IanBremmer & @IvoHDaalder on impunity and the global balance of power.

The Biden admin will miss an important opportunity to achieve its goal of uniting countries around a common global agenda if it fails to link its defense of democracy with promotion of the rule of law.
My thoughts on today's #SummitforDemocracy in @TIME: https://t.co/yhwLYf8Vi8
Impunity, the notion that "the rules are for suckers," is on the march. Read my thoughts on this growing instinct of choice and the world's first #AtlasofImpunity in @ForeignAffairs here: https://t.co/SB04yd2uTm
Excited to join @USIP later today to talk about the growing trends towards impunity in conflict, the impact on humanitarian need and how the international community can respond. Tune in at 10am EST: https://t.co/LrIGaMmP9I
The Atlas of Impunity is here- the first comprehensive index to track impunity worldwide. Proud to have worked on this in my personal capacity alongside @Eurasiagroup and @chicagocouncil and launching at @Munsecconf. Read more at https://t.co/na6Mrkdx6F
