i think about this quote often

[SR human rights & climate change, Elisa Morgera @SRclimatechange]

In #Vanuatu I heard stories of #hope that should shape any international #ClimateAction: communities set #priorities for the support they receive, rather than being presented with a predetermined set of options. This is key for #HumanRights & #remedy, incl for @CIJ_ICJ Opinion 👇

Some thoughts on:
▶️ #COP29 process
💡the #ClimateAction we need to protect #HumanRights
💰 #ClimateFinance as an international obligation https://t.co/4gj5LBSvXy

‼️#COP29 negotiations on #gender are taking a #retrogressive turn, despite 90+ states at #HRC this July supporting #intersectionality (https://t.co/JcCjlHNYXr) incl #women & #girls #HumanRights, which apply to @UNFCCC.

Fast-tracked approval of #CarbonMarkets rules is quite a worrying start for #COP29 vis-à-vis the need to prioritize effective #ClimateAction + protection of #HumanRights.

Carbon markets raise serious concerns https://t.co/Oqr6MMc3yx & https://t.co/00YqsyKXS0

[One Ocean Hub @OneOceanHub]

🐠@ElisaMorgera and @MitchellLennan are attending #COP29 where there is a call on States to prioritise effective climate action and sufficient finance in accordance with human rights.

[SR human rights & climate change, Elisa Morgera @SRclimatechange]

There are several urgent decisions to be taken at #COP29 and they need to prioritize protection of #HumanRights if we wish to see truly effective #ClimateAction

Check the links in the statement for more information on the human rights dimensions of specific agenda items

[Tom Dannenbaum @tomdannenbaum]

The ICJ’s Provisional Measures Order of March in the genocide case explicitly required Israel to fully cooperate with the United Nations to ensure humanitarian delivery to Palestinians in Gaza. There is no UN actor more important in that respect than UNRWA. This is not ambiguous.

The #NatureandCultureSummit at @UNBiodiversity #COP16Cali provided an opportunity to:

✨ celebrate frontline #community-led action on #biodiversity-#climatechange, incl #JustTransition

💡 reflect on #HumanRights for more effective & equitable #Conservation & #ClimateAction

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

For those curious, “Vol I” will have the facts, legal arguments and pleadings. “Vol 2” contains all the evidence and extra procedural documentation. In essence, South Africa had a whole book worth of evidence. I guess that ends that debate

[Chisomo Kalinga, PhD @ChisomoWrites]

White British academics exhibiting “know your place aggression” in full force. A student launches an uncoordinated plea against a system that is failing & trapping international students across the UK and they mock her for forgetting that it’s DPhil & not PhD at Oxford.

[Chisomo Kalinga, PhD @ChisomoWrites]

British academics openly mocking international students while at the same time being at risk redundancy because international students no longer want to study in the UK because of hostility at the border & within UK HE. Some of you need to put two and fucking two together.

[Claire E. Aubin? @ceaubin]

Re: that whole Oxford situation, I also was an international student who did a PhD in the UK. If you make it to all the way to 4th year before finding out that your thesis isn’t viable, your supervisors have failed you, likely because the uni wanted to keep extracting £££
