The world needs to move beyond offering platitudes to young people.

We need to meaningfully engage youth in matters that affect their future.

The @UN #Youth2030 strategy is our commitment to strengthen our work with & for young people.

Of course I would love to attend the Glasgow #COP26
But not unless everyone can take part on the same terms. Right now many countries are vaccinating healthy young people, often at the expense of risk groups and front line workers (mainly from global south, as usual...).

And I don’t mean that in a good way...

What if people and the planet come before greed and power? 🌏✊🏽

The world's richest 1% emit twice as much carbon pollution as the poorest 50%.

We need social justice. We need a #FossilFreeRevolution!

To solve the air pollution crisis:
✔️ Invest in clean energy sources like wind and solar
✔️ Build green and accessible public transport
✔️ Fight inequality so everyone has access to clean air
✔️ Build a better normal

Food safety is a shared responsibility!

Many people are involved in the journey of food from farms to our plates.

And every step of the way, we must ensure it is safe!

The health impacts of burning coal, oil and gas may be far higher than previously thought.

We have everything to gain from ending the age of fossil fuels.

"Climate is not like a footy match where you lose and it is game over. The climate game continues, so even if the 1.5C game is lost, it is still game-on for 1.6C and 1.7C. /.../every fraction of a degree, every year and every choice matters."

So the ”biggest line item” of Biden's climate focused $2 trillion infrastructure plan will ”fund repairs and renovations to the country’s roads, bridges and airports” with “sustainable and innovative” materials.

Lol.

From killer floods in Asia and melting of the Arctic to wildfires in the US and bushfires in Australia, 2020 was yet another year of #ClimateCrisis.

And while emissions dipped briefly during the first COVID-19 lockdowns, they have now rebounded close to the 2019 levels. [1/3]
