On Tue night huge fires destroyed 70% of Moria camp on Lesvos. Now, in the midst of a pandemic almost 13k people, including nearly 5k children, are displaced, sleeping in fields, on roadsides & even in graveyards. 1000s of people will have lost absolutely everything

Up to 80 million ppl have been resettled to make way for large dams, with 70% of them left impoverished. Indigenous communities suffer disproportionately from the negative impacts of such projects with racism cited as a factor. #blackhistorymonth #accesstojustice

As the shocking death toll in #Myanmar surpasses 500, more needs to be done by the international community to prevent more lives being lost. Security forced must be held accountable for the atrocities being committed.

Extreme weather events and floods have killed around half a million people since the turn of the century.

The #ParisAgreement turns 5 in 2 days. Countries putting forward their NDCs for the next period need to keep this death toll in mind. https://t.co/FhbB8d0PWc
