It's impossible not to feel heartbroken when we see so many people with no access to healthcare.
This is absolutely intolerable.
I'm determined to do all I can to mobilize the international community to make universal health coverage a reality by 2030.
@NWSBayArea I am in Groveland, CA (45 min from Yosemite) and can confirm at 2:00 pm PST if you step outside it smells like you are sitting next to a campfire and the smoke is blowing in your face.
6 #ClimateAction decisions countries can make to recover better from #COVID19:
Invest in green jobs.
Don't bail out polluting industries.
End fossil-fuel subsidies.
Take climate risks into account in all financial & policy decisions.
Work together.
Leave no one behind.
@canadaposthelps In a time like this. Why would your mail carrier, write a slip to pick up our package at the post office and leave it at our door without knocking. PEOPLE ARE HOME. Now, when we’re supposed to be isolating, you want us to go out to the post office?
@canadaposthelps I don’t see anything there about stopping delivery and forcing people to go to a post office. My wife is home and your carrier delivered a “not home slip” without knocking when someone was home. Now, to get our package, we’ll have to go to the post office instead of isolating
@canadaposthelps We are in isolation and we need delivery to our door, not to the post office! How do I get a shipment delivered to my door from the post office?
@canadaposthelps home all day (of course)-parcel delivery-no attempt to buzz-delivery notice & 14 days to pick up? #SelfIsolation What are you doing to better help? Make extra attempts to NOT send us into public-many using postal to stay home on purpose #COVID19#commercialdrive

The sad part is we have so little time to diversify our economy, reduce fossil fuel production & emissions & prepare communities & ensure re-retracing, just transition & competitiveness strategies to ensure we are well set up to adapt to our changing climate and global economy 2/
I am very pleased by pledges by Finland and Chile to be carbon neutral by 2035 and 2050 respectively. I urge countries around the world to continue taking decisive and transformative #ClimateAction so we can tackle the climate emergency.
