Important messages for #HRC53 from @cmdplatform Steering Group member Shakirul Islam @okupent. In fact, climate change disasters & livelihood impacts can increase vulnerability to trafficking & labor exploitation.

[Erin Sikorsky @ErinSikorsky]

Excellent piece detailing the nexus of poor water policies and increasing climate change impacts leading to rural-to-urban migration, instability and cross-border tensions.

A compelling OpEd by @GomeraM @UNDPRwanda on embracing the GDP of the poor: Nature

It spotlights the policy distortion that favours multinational corporations by providing harmful subsidies for industrialised, chemical-dependent farming at the expense of smallholder farmers and the environment.

Happy to share my second article of the blog series, ‘Under the weather, on the move’, where the role of an intersectional lens for understanding climate migration is elaborated.

Important call from the UN High Commissioner for #HumanRights @volker_turk on the #LossAndDamage Fund, as the Transitional Committee continues discussions on its operationalization.

People on the frontlines have a right to remedy for the harms caused by the #climatecrisis.

The @WorldBank's #WDR23 framework on migration management is a promising step towards fairer and smarter policies.

Moving forward, how can we ensure the empowerment and meaningful participation of migrants are central to implementation efforts?

NEWS — In just months, the U.S. received over 1.5 million requests for a migrant sponsorship program, an extraordinary number that could jeopardize the Biden administration's objective of reducing border crossings, internal documents obtained by CBS show.

Chilling details emerge from #Myanmar #Sittwe town where thousands of #Rohingya Muslims live in prison-like camps. I spoke to victims of #CycloneMocha who are still counting the dead. Many are surviving by cooking dead cattle meat as aid is yet to arrive. https://t.co/bcrEopPnhN

"There is no question on Earth as powerful as land: who owns it; how it is used; and whether it is treated as a commodity, as a living relative, as an ally in the climate fight, an extractive resource, as a home, or as a territory"

A hilarious explainer for why carbon offsets are, in fact, a ridiculous form of greenwashing.
