By now, you've probably heard about the lines, access and representation issues at #COP26. But it's been a really awkward, strange day, so I want to lay everything out here, because if you've wondered if #COP26 is okay, I'm gonna show you that no, #COP26 is really not okay/1
Once again Barbados PM Mia Mottley has been the one who has delivered the speech the world needed. May she be heard, may we rise. Take 8 minutes to listen to the whole thing. Share the lines that grabbed you most. #COP26

Fantastic morning with @eco_medics, powerful words from @rosamund_ElsFdn & let's start these challenging climate & health conversations with 'how can I help?' @pencheon1 @hugh_montgomery
🎉This is great news @RCPLondon! 🎉 We hope more will follow. This includes @wellcometrust - there is no excuse for perpetuating harm by continuing to invest in fossil fuels and worsening climate breakdown.

Fundamentally human beings are the same. Imagine being lost in some remote place and suddenly seeing someone coming towards you over the horizon. You wouldn't care about their race, nationality or religious faith, you'd be filled with the joy of encountering another human being.
