One year since the military coup in #Myanmar. Across the country, people are still resisting, in the face of harrowing atrocities. Many are fighting. Others have been forced into indefinite exile. Thinking of all Myanmar friends today.

.@rubbinakm comments that we have struggled to get cities on the climate change agenda. But now that it is on the #COP26 agenda, how can we bring communities into the dialogue?
