”More than 90% of rainforest carbon offsets by biggest provider are worthless, analysis shows”

This is the ugly truth of “carbon offsetting”.

"One of the criticisms I've faced over the years is that I'm not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I'm empathetic, it means I'm weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate & strong." Jacinda Ardern
Those antique soviet tanks being deployed in Ukraine were also deployed in our capital city 32 years ago to crush our independence.
We still remember the sound of the engines. We will never forget the victims.
We stood firm and we won our freedom. Ukrainians will do the same.
If you haven’t seen #theswimmers on @netflix yet - go watch it now. The story of these Syrian #refugee sisters is incredible. I saw @SarahMardini4 speak at @OneYoungWorld Summit and she was a true inspiration ����🏻

This #UNGA my goal is to make it clear that we need cooperation and dialogue to solve our global problems - from the climate crisis to #COVID19 to high levels of inequality.
I am calling on all world leaders to put their geopolitical divides aside and work together.

Out of respect to our host nation we are drawing our Summit to a close
"In 2022, for the first time, the number of globally displaced people reached over 100 million. This is over 180 Manchester-sized cities.
The scope of human suffering at this scale is almost unimaginable."
Halima Aden, Humanitarian Activist #OYW2022
"We need to understand our strengths. The biggest strength we will have as corporate leaders is vulnerability.
Vulnerability is the magic pill in order to connect with others." - Luis Javier Castro

Such an important discussion on forced migration at #OYW2022 this morning. No one chooses to be a #refugee, no one chooses to raise their children in a refugee camp. We need to address core drivers of migration: #climatechange#conflict#economicinequality
Day 4 marks the final day of the #OYW2022 Summit, so what a better way to close it out than hearing from our Lead2030 winners, @dorapalfi and @JackGrowden, at the Lead2030 showcase sessions! #ImpactThatMatters#SDG4
