Check out my latest op-ed w/ @ggransaull: "While we’re excited by Canada’s increased climate ambition, as young professionals, we’re also terrified for the future. Because, frankly, our new target is just not good enough." #ClimateCrisis @NatObserver https://t.co/MPLy1XMp3y
"[S]ome lawyers may dismiss climate as a political matter not relevant to their practice... By failing to help clients prepare, lawyers will only contribute to heightening workplace risks while also putting themselves at risk." https://t.co/fvIO0FJ2X1 @CBAnatmag@CBA_News

Watch @DrTedros the Director-General of @WHO give his "full support" for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty earlier today 👏
We hope to see other UN officials & world leaders support the #FossilFuelTreaty in the coming weeks during #COP27.

A big 🧵 for more.
Huge news! Vanuatu just became the 1st nation-state to call for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.
