Good morning. I have the cover article of @WIRED today! The result of a year-long investigation, it tells the story of Melinda Janki, a courageous environmental lawyer whose launched one of the world's most ambitious climate lawsuits to stop ExxonMobil and save Guyana, her home.

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

This is now gravely urgent.

Alaa Abd El-Fattah is a British citizen. For months, Labour have pressed the government to do more to secure his release.

Rishi Sunak must use his visit to #COP27 in Egypt to bring Alaa home.

[Chloé Farand @ChloeFarand]

And that's that. The agenda has been adopted #COP27

Cop27 president Sameh Shoukry says this follows more than 40 hours of negotiations before the start of the talks. This is the first time there is a formal, institutional space to discuss addressing #LossAndDamage, he says.

Yesterday was my last day at Twitter: the entire Human Rights team has been cut from the company.

I am enormously proud of the work we did to implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights, to protect those at-risk in global conflicts & crises including Ethiopia,

The UN General Assembly has recognized the human right to a clean healthy and sustainable environment by an overwhelming vote of 161-0 with just eight abstentions. A truly historic moment.

[Center for International Environmental Law @ciel_tweets]

📢 BREAKING!
In a historic decision, the @UN General Assembly just adopted the resolution to universally recognize the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll!
This signals what we hope will be the beginning of a new era in rights-based environmental policy.
