Flooding in Rwanda has destroyed over 5000 homes and about 130 deaths recorded so far. Africa needs Loss and Damage because how are these communities supposed to start over from scratch? #LossAndDamage#ClimateEmergency#Rwanda#RwandaFloods
Millionaires alone are on track to burn through 72% of the remaining carbon budget for 1.5 degrees. This is an extraordinary assault on humanity and the living world, and no sane society should tolerate it. https://t.co/XYpYr9Oadr
Important new synthesis report from #IPCC out today. The basic message is the same: it is one of both urgency and agency in addressing the #climatecrisis
#ClimateChange is not an "environmentalist" cause. It's an extremely serious global problem that all nations have nominally committed to solve by 2050. Let's treat it as such.

Shocking: Nearly 75% of Uganda's Kagombe Central Forest reserve has been destroyed in the past decade. 💔
To make a difference, local people are taking action with planting and patrols. Together, they’re helping preserve this environment #AgeOfChange@VELUX
🚨BREAKING: Norwegian oil giant @Equinor just announced record profits of £62 BILLION for 2022.
That's higher than BP & Shell's profits combined.
While raking in obscene wealth, Equinor & partners are set to receive more than £500 million in tax breaks for developing Rosebank
"All of my belongings are destroyed. There is no shelter for us, so we have been sleeping on the roadside."

@casmuoficial atosigándome a mails y mensajes queriendo embaucarme con la farsa de Medis Group en vez de ocuparse en darme un nivel mínimamente decente de atención con lo que ya les pago. Por qué te pagaría un riñón para que me atiendas como deberías atenderme?
Plastics are fossil fuels in another form & pose a serious threat to human rights, the climate & biodiversity.
As negotiations towards an agreement to #BeatPlasticPollution continue, I call on countries to look beyond waste and turn off the tap on plastic.
Last year, some 50 million people were enslaved & the most marginalized groups remain particularly vulnerable.
On this Day for the Abolition of Slavery, I call on leaders to recommit to eradicating slavery in all its forms, and uphold the rights of victims & survivors.
Violence against women and girls is exacerbated by the intersecting crises of climate, conflict & economic instability.
We need #ClimateAction, and a more peaceful & equitable world to ensure the well-being of women & girls everywhere.
More than 1 in 3 women experience gender-based violence during their lifetime.
Violence against women & girls remains the most pervasive human rights violation worldwide.
We need to #PushForward to end the violence NOW: https://t.co/42eqfdF4sN

On Friday's International Day to End Violence Against Women, I call on governments to increase funding by 50% by 2026 to women’s rights organizations & movements.
Let’s take a stand and raise our voices in support of women’s rights.
Let’s proudly declare: We are all feminists.
