⚠️ THIS IS NOT A DRILL ⚠️

Tonight, the parliamentary bill to implement Safe Access Zones around all abortion providing facilities in England and Wales passed its final stage in the House of Commons.

MPs voted 299 - 116 to ban anti-choice activity.

moving house means the joy of utility companies questioning my name - my name is valid!! no numbers!! update your computer systems I beg you this is so tiresome (yes I am petty enough to screenshot this)

[Climate Ambition Support Alliance (CASA) @CASAClimate]

No time to lose: with widespread suffering in Malawi and other Least Developed Countries as a result of climate-related #LossAndDamage, LDCs need increased finance, support now from international community.

Yamikani Idriss @LDCChairUNFCCC makes the case:

some highlights of my first #COP27: hearing about the amazing progress on #LIFEAR and the determined work of LDCs to get adaptation finance to those most vulnerable to climate change

DOWNLOAD: Addressing loss and damage: Practical insights for tackling multidimensional risks in LDCs and SIDS --> https://t.co/Yeke7lYiwu

This paper presents an overview of the nature of loss & damage risks affecting people in the global South, and how they might be addressed.

[IIEDmedia @IIEDmedia]

Most city residents now live in the global south. For the most vulnerable people, who have done the least to cause #ClimateChange, adapting to greater heat in the #Cities where they live is an economic impossibility, say @IIED's @AdiBahadur & @dee_are_dee https://t.co/ea2Hax1AY1

[IIED @IIED]

Leading by example, the LDC Group encourages #LDCs and the international climate community to shift away from the traditional approach to #ClimateAction.

a bollard to reduce car use to save kid's lungs and *the planet*: "the local council is just like north korea stop taking away my rights"

car free streets for the jubilee: "god save the queen, move your car for my union jack bunting and creepy cardboard cutouts"

[siân fed @Sian_Fed]

Grateful to live in a borough where this is the case. Harassing women at their most vulnerable is wrong on so many levels - like @RupaHuq says, go and take it up with the government (who could certainly be doing more to support children and families!!)

[Rupa Huq MP @RupaHuq]

4 years since Ealing council pioneered buffer zone to stop harassment of abortion clinic users only THREE local authorities have these, yet problem affects 50 locations. Users of Marie Stopes Ealing are lucky but this should not be about luck. We need consistency in law #backoff

[Tracy C. Kajumba @TKajumba]

I am no one's token, so I am taking a pledge not speak on un balanced panels to tick boxes of #Global south #woman vs skills & #experience. Organisational #values of the organisers are key to assess genuine engagement. @IIED @COP27Africa @KobusingeRose1
