The dominant narrative about climate change & migration is inaccurate, riddled with xenophobic bias & spurring border securitization instead of climate action. It’s time for the narrative to change. My latest for @newhumanitarian: https://t.co/u8ncxsgOIk

#SierraLeone first in world to create the job of CHO or Chief Heat Officer. On top of heat, a triple whammy has hit S L: civil war, rural poverty and explosive urbanization. #IPCC ranks Sierra Leone after Bangladesh & Guinea Bissau, as most vulnerable countries to climate change.

Talk to migrants arriving at the border — and they don’t talk about Biden. Or Trump. Or Washington.

They talk about what they’ve fled: Violence. Poverty. Devastation.

“I would have found a way to come no matter what.”

“There’s nothing else I could do.”

This would be diplomatic vandalism. Yemen is already the world’s LARGEST humanitarian catastrophe. Every day the teams of ⁦@RESCUEorg⁩ see the unspeakable toll of war. Haven’t the Yemeni people suffered enough from a misguided war strategy? https://t.co/6U0HKyVIKf

[Samantha Power @SamanthaJPower]

As a journalist, activist, and diplomat, I’ve seen the world-changing impact of @USAID. At this critical moment, I feel immensely fortunate to have the chance to serve again, working with the incredible USAID team to confront COVID-19, climate change, humanitarian crises, & more.

"US-based analysts should take events in DC to approach LATAM with a bit more humbleness. The US Capitol Police budget is larger than the annual budget for the entire Guatemalan military and they let a mob overrun the one location they are dedicated to protect." @bloggingsbyboz

@skinosian Saw the same in Tegucigalpa last week. It's a thing!
