Check out @giusi_siciliano latest @F4WaterResearch analysis article examining the social and environmental implications of large and megadams used for hydroelectric power.
As the global drive toward net zero accelerates, renewable energy must take centre stage, and hydropower will play a vital role. This raises a crucial question: how can the transition be delivered in ways that are just and equitable for the communities most affected by these projects?

They’re effectively hiding from migrant boats, so that they are not drawn into rescue operations. A strategy is being created, that slows down – actively and consciously slows down – rescue efforts.

(1/2) Some believe the failure to intervene before the boat capsized cannot be explained by incompetence. Many EU countries are weaponising time by delaying rescue as long as they can. They have built delays into European engagement at sea.

“To truly reclaim its reputation as a global partner, the UK must work in partnership with local communities and organisations and return to spending 0.7% of GNI on UK aid,” says Bond CEO @SDStephDraper in today's @guardian

The UK is spending more #UKaid in the UK on refugee costs than in both Africa and Asia.

The government must urgently stop undermining the purpose of UK aid and start addressing the reasons why so many people are displaced globally.

@TPExpresstrains cancelled one in five trains (19%) in November.

It’s time the government hold these failing operators to account, and without urgent improvement, begin withdrawing contracts.

I’m at Euston. The last train from London to Manchester left at 12 minutes past 5.

The next one isn’t until 3 minutes to 7.

The ones in between have been cancelled.

On a Friday evening.

This is not a functioning service.

Britain’s poor face the worst winter in living memory.
A year ago we talked about people having to choose between heating and eating, now many can’t afford either. Basics like soap, toothpaste etc are becoming unaffordable luxuries.
And it’s only going to get worse.
