To all taking part in #schoolstrike4climate today - we salute you and stand with you! Even if standing with you means sitting behind a desk, sitting in meetings and working hard to engage, enable and embolden climate action! #FridaysForFuture #ClimateAction @GretaThunberg

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Tomorrow we school strike for the climate in 1769 places in 112 countries around the world. And counting.

Everyone is welcome. Everyone is needed. Let’s change history. And let’s never stop for as long as it takes. #fridaysforfuture #schoolstrike4climate #climatestrike

Today is international #WomensDay The role of women in achieving the #SDGs is undeniable. A recent #FAO report found gender equality is essential for attaining food security, nutrition. Empowering rural women will power sustainable agriculture. #SDG5 #womenforchange

[UN Development @UNDP]

Climate-related disasters and extensive conflicts are on the rise and they affect human security and sustainable development. @UlrikaModeer explains why #ClimateSecurity is this year’s big global development mega-trend. https://t.co/Fw0mGdY4ZC

[Karien Erasmus @ErasmusKarien]

Are we thinking enough about the interchange between technology and the #SDGs? The most powerful phone in the world is the one in the hands of the world’s poorest women.

[José Graziano da Silva @grazianodasilva]

New evidence this year reinforces that climate variability and exposure
to more complex, frequent and intense climate extremes (especially severe and
more frequent droughts) are also a key force behind the recent continued
rise in global #hunger and #malnutrition.

@DaluCele @Our_DA what a shame that your idea of service delivery is to retain the status quo rather than improve! Our power is out, again, in Northwold, for the THIRD time this week!! You are failing democracy!

This is something we should take note of - 200 years worth of greenhouse gas emissions wipe out 2000 year old trees. https://t.co/ynEG2VVHCW https://t.co/JaCZMyExuU

Break up for #ValentinesDay
It's time to end your toxic relationship with single-use plastic and find a new love ❤️ for #CleanSeas! https://t.co/951h8bGjUs

[Promethium Carbon @Promethium_C]

We have to rethink the way we make, use and
re-use plastic. Winners of the Circular Materials Challenge showcases innovation to Think Beyond Plastic. Like the TrioCup that eliminates the need for plastic lids.
