1/2. The International Court of Justice landmark Advisory Opinion on climate change affirmed that states have legal obligations to address the climate crisis—and that inaction can have legal consequences.
The proof is in the lungs.
London children exposed to less traffic pollution after ULEZ saw lung growth recover, bringing their lung capacity up to that of children in the control group.
If London can do it, why can’t our cities put children’s lungs before traffic?

Coal, pollution, heat & climate stress are precisely what fragile mountain ecosystems as Himalayas can least afford. Nepal and Tibet have just given us another warning. India must not wait for the next warning to arrive downstream.
AI may be the future, but whose future are we building?
Residents & parents in Thane & Vizag are saying NO to massive data centres that could consume huge amounts of water, electricity & land while putting additional pressure on already stressed resources.
Digital infrastructure at the cost of environmental security is a complete NO!
Kudos to every parent who chose to show up with their children. Safety is always our first priority, but these spaces also teach empathy, courage & the value of peaceful democratic participation.

We mothers are deeply disturbed by reports that tear gas shells that expired in 2020 were used against our peacefully protesting children & students.
Delhi's children already breathe some of the world's most polluted air. Many live with asthma, allergies and reduced lung function. Why expose them to yet another toxic respiratory irritant, let alone one that may have been years past its expiry?
What health risk assessments were carried out? Were students with respiratory illnesses warned or protected? And if expired shells were indeed used, who authorised it and why?
Our children deserve safety, accountability & the constitutional right to peaceful protest, not air that burns their lungs.

Delhi's EV transition must put people at the centre. Citizens have legitimate questions on affordability, charging, resale value, repairs, battery replacement, livelihoods & safety.
Alongside EVs, let's not forget the biggest public health emergency; cleaning the air we breathe today. We need a super efficient public transport, safer walking & cycling & strict action on polluting sources, be it waste, industrial, construction all.
SB64 presents a unique opportunity to build the right momentum that ensures climate justice moves from promises to implementation.
Implementation cannot wait. #Climate justice cannot wait.

Delhi’s air crisis doesn’t end at the front door.
Another study via @iitdelhi shows kitchens are often the most polluted room in the house, with PM2.5 levels during cooking soaring far beyond safe limits, especially in winter. Women, children and the elderly face the highest exposure from an invisible crisis unfolding inside homes.
For years, mothers, women, health researchers and clean cooking campaigns have warned that indoor air pollution is a gendered health emergency. This study validates those concerns yet again.
What’s especially troubling is how quickly years of progress on clean cooking were reversed during the LPG price shocks after the global energy crisis and war-driven inflation. Across many households, families were pushed back toward biomass, wood, coal and other dirtier fuels simply because clean cooking became unaffordable.
The opportunity now is not just to restore subsidised LPG access, but to accelerate & prioritise truly clean cooking transitions; electric cooking, solar powered cooking solutions, induction systems, better ventilation, and community scale clean energy models. Clean cooking policy should sit at the heart of India’s public health, climate and women’s health agenda.

The US are executing a global armed robbery of the world’s energy supply.
I’ve adapted my documentary, "Birth of the Petrogas-Dollar and the Pirate State," into a forensic written investigation. This is the most detailed audit you will find anywhere on current US geostrategy.
Chevron's replacement for Nord Stream, the sabotage of South Pars, and the blockade of the Arctic before the ice has even melted—it’s all in here.

Human rights activist and head of the Fossil Fuel Treaty, Kumi Naidoo, speaks to us from Santa Marta in Colombia, where the world's first fossil fuel phase-out conference is taking place.
Over 50 nations, including the UK, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and EU member states are meeting outside of the COP process, to discuss how the global economy can end its reliance on coal, oil and gas.
Is your country one of the 55 countries meeting in Santa Marta to begin the work to phase out fossil fuels?💜
Sending all our love and positive energy to those making history💚
A better world for all children is possible.❤️

After the #ICJ, the world’s highest court, ruled that govts have a legal duty to protect their people from climate change, Vanuatu is leading a groundbreaking UN resolution that can turn this ruling into real, globally coordinated climate action. Sign👇🏻
