Researchers using a TikTok data tool concluded that posts on China’s Uyghur population and Hong Kong protests "were unusually underrepresented on TikTok compared with other social networks." TikTok restricted the tool rather than dispelling the criticism. https://t.co/2Ah8TcoqwP

Persistent heavy rain led to extensive flooding across central and southern regions of Laos.
We're stepping up to support @LaoRedCross in rapid need assessments for Khammoun and Bolikhamxai provinces.

🌍 #OvershootDay - the day when humanity's demand for resources exceeds what our planet can regenerate in a year.

But we can #MoveTheDate 2️⃣ 6️⃣ days, by switching coal and gas-fired power plants with solar and wind power.

Together, let's build a sustainable future. 🌏💙

[UN Development @UNDP]

Today is #EarthOvershootDay.

In just over 8 months, we have already used up more resources than can be renewed in 2023.

This is a wake-up call that each and every one of us needs to #ActNow to #MoveTheDate for people and 🌎.

A catastrophic hunger crisis is still unfolding across Africa affecting millions.

In Somalia & Nigeria, millions of children are facing acute malnutrition.

We @IFRC are calling on the global community to support our response efforts.

Together we can alleviate human suffering.
