"The overarching story in Peru is more about decades of frustration over poverty, inequality & dysfunction"

Castillo no era ideal, pero fue el elegido para darle derechos a peruanos que han vivido marginados.

New York Times' correspondent in Peru: At the hospital, patients pay for their own water and there is no toilet paper or soap in many hospital bathrooms. This idea that people feel forgotten by Peruvian democracy was visible in the hospital.

There were emotional scenes of celebration when Indigenous groups in Brazil got a ruling from the Supreme Court that will help protect their ancestral lands from mining, drilling and farming ⤵️

[Jeffrey Radzinsky @jradzinsky]

¿Dialogante o cómplice? Entre absurdas aprobaciones de feriados, limitar colaboración eficaz para proteger a poderosos delincuentes, mientras favorecen a mafias de transporte, educación y minería ilegal, la pobreza aumenta junto a la escandalosa impunidad.

HemisferioNorte está siendo afectado por 3 “Domos de Calor”🔥q están intensificando sendas #OlasDeCalor👇

Estos patrones meteorológicos persistirían hasta al menos el fin de semana por lo q podrían romper aún varios récords de temperatura.#CambioClimatico

[Christopher Wilson @chrisw_ottawa]

We're not even half way through summer in Canada and wildfires have consumed over 10 million hectares of forest. That's about 10 times the amount of any year since 2016. This is more than an aberration but an indicator of what's to come in future years as the planet warms

[Lucía Gamarra @LugaEnergy]

Congratulations to @PeterCullenPCT graduates!! They presented the costs of "green" energy, esp on natural resources.

What would be more practical and level headed than *not* making a mess by polluting the waters, land and people for a short term exclusive gain?

NT Gov: 'We listened to the science, and now we want to allow fracking'
Reporter: 'What about the 100 scientists and experts calling for an end to fracking?'
NT Gov: 'No no, not that science'

It has to be seen to be believed 🙄

[Climate Council @climatecouncil]

Not only does fracking worsen dangerous climate change, it has irreversible impacts on local communities, groundwater and the environment. Traditional Owners fear the negative consequences of fracking on sacred sites and waterways.

[ABC News @abcnews]

Almost 100 scientists have published an open letter to the Northern Territory government urging it to abandon plans for fracking in the Beetaloo Basin, warning of "the damage it will inflict on our climate" https://t.co/W45tAJx0ui

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

Today, our open letter signed by 50 environment and climate orgs, calls on the Government to listen to the science and prevent new coal and gas developments.

Wetlands along the East Asian-Australasian flyway provide habitats to various species of birds and are essential to climate resilience and human health.

ADB’s new initiative builds a case for their protection through nature-based solutions: https://t.co/4TwyjWF1a5

[Tanya Plibersek @tanya_plibersek]

There shouldn’t be communities in Australia who don’t have clean + reliable drinking water, but there are. Many are remote First Nations communities.

We want to change that. So we’re targeting $150m to support critical water infrastructure for remote First Nations communities.

[Lucía Gamarra @LugaEnergy]

wetland conservation, rehabilitation & restoration will support mitigating and adapting to the impacts of climate change, while the loss of wetlands releases greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere & could lead to desertification... like these "have-been"

[Lucía Gamarra @LugaEnergy]

Happy #WorldWetlandsDay!

Wetlands are habitats for migratory birds & endemic plants & animals, they store carbon, provide freshwater, food and feed, fuel, increase livability, are part of cultural heritage, protect coasts, regulate nutrients & are wonderful to look at!!
