Renewable energy should be used to tackle global warming and end emissions and not used to prop up an unsustainable economic system that even without global warming is consuming Earth forests wetlands wildlife Bees ocean in greatest extinction in 252 millions years
Right to Life
Climate change increases the risk of people suffering from death, disease and injury from extreme weather events like droughts, floods, tropical storms, heatwaves and fires; food security and nutrition is threatened, causing malnutrition and hunger and mortality
When we see discarded plastic bags, bottles, or food packages,we can relate our own use of the same objects to potential consequences. Objects therefore make plastic politics tangible in ways that complex life cycle analyses can't do. @PlasticCleanic@JamesWakibia@IUCN_Plastics

We entirely castoff & condemn the appointment of sultan Al-Jaber, Head of
Oil giant Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) as the COP28 President. It is incongruous for a fossil fuel investor to lead a such multilateral process since he will influence the vast outcome of COP28.
If we want to avert climate catastrophe, renewables are the only credible path forward.
Only renewables can safeguard our future, close the energy access gap, stabilize prices and ensure energy security.

I'm very frustrated that global leaders are still not giving the climate emergency the action and investment it requires.
Words are not enough.
Without #ClimateAction, climate catastrophe is coming for all of us.
Financing needs to be articulated in the global treaty, who pays for what and how much? Too much funding is flowing into producing, & not enough into solutions. Financial flows should be channelled into the right infrastructure & innovations. #INC1#plastictreaty@IUCN_Plastics
Here is my last #podcast interview of the year with the great @MarkLGoldberg on the #plasticstreay for UN Dispatch (“a podcast to make you smarter" according to The Guardian)

Waste pickers form the base of the informal waste sector. Strengthening of their cooperatives & group networks can facilitate transfer of knowledge regarding proper waste handling & processing, related regulations and laws, environmental protection, sanitation, hygiene & health.
