NEW EPISODE ⚡️ @brhodes on "climate populism": can populist right-wing outrage over climate action be redirected towards exposing the planet-destroying exploits of the oil and gas industry? 🔥🔥🔥
Now that sounds like a plan.

Wonderful to see the amazing @AyebareDenise truly going from strength to powerful-integrity strength! Congratulations Denise on a winning manifesto to empower society and youth.
And if you know me, you already know #climatechange is at the heart of my manifesto!
Along with digital inclusion and leadership & governance, I’m ready to tackle the big issues.
What else would you expect from an award-winning speaker and climate activist?

Big oil is running a massive misinformation campaign to slow the pace of renewables, says the UN.
We need our governments to have the courage to stand up to these bullies and protect what we love.

The world doesn't have to be this way. We can change it. And we are changing it. Join us and pursue your own contribution to this massive social change.
Thank you @AntonioGuterres 🧡🌿🦋
My message to young people worldwide:
Do not accept that what we have today is inevitable.
Do not accept that you cannot transform things.
If we want to change the world, we need to unite, mobilize, and fight for a better future for all.

#OurCommonFuture
Child Marriage statistics are beyond just numbers, they are childhoods,lives, dreams and futures being stolen.
Girls futures matter, and it is our responsibility to support and empower them to realize their fullest potential.

@blaise_gitonga@AyebareDenise So important that we learn to manage our lives, immediate surroundings, and the watersheds and landscapes on which we rely with respect, curiosity, humility and reverence. Landslides and disasters like this happen when we learn badly from those for whom profit is a sole motive.
Through our community-led initiatives,girl-led campaigns,adolescent safe spaces,advocating & supporting girls education,working with educators and parents,we are on a mission to #endchildmarriage and build a generation of empowered girls

CLIMATE CRISIS: Huge, fast-moving wildfires have destroyed up to half of the historic Canadian town of Jasper. Entire streets have been levelled by the blazes in Alberta province, with video showing smouldering rubble where homes once stood.
We need to be asking tough questions, but having gentle conversations. Veganism does get easier for most people as their gut microbiomes flourish and the food starts to taste incredibly delicious.
Our planet. It's full of an almost magical degree of exquisite #coevolution that helps regulate our climate, planet, and all life on Earth. And we need that help right now, as everything is at stake.

Today is my birthday🎉, I turn 25.
I am grateful, humbled and honoured to be alive today. God has been faithful to me. I thank him for his continuous grace and mercy.
And, I thought of re-introducing myself today because I have made new amazing connections here.
"It’s time to reject pronatalist ideologies that treat women’s wombs as cogs in the growth machine. We need to get off the growth treadmill, get past population denialism, and work for a future that has both fewer human beings and less consumption." https://t.co/jwIwpeymgQ
