IBT will stop posting on X.

The platform no longer aligns with our values. The environment is toxic and we do not believe it is a space where charities can be heard.

With climate finance taking centre stage at #COP29, our paper #CarbonInequality lays out why curbing the excessive emissions of an elite few can create a sustainable planet for all. It's time for the biggest polluters to #PayUp. #MakePollutersPay

If you haven't already the @BeebRoger podcast with @lotaboluoki is well worth listening to, talking about why peoples' ability to find high-quality international news & investigative journalism is so important given the increasing role of online intermediaries & algorithms.

Not having identity documents heightens an individual's risk of exploitation and modern slavery. Thanks @caroline__kimeu for highlighting the exploitation facing many young women in Kenya. @Freedom_Fund
