@JohannaKonta @Wimbledon @BBCSport Great commentary Johanna! Also loved the rapport between you and @Martina!

Today is #IntlForestDay
We’re loosing 10 million acres of forest every year, at a time when we need to maximise every possible carbon sink.
In some places planting trees is a great solution but given our timeframe the most effective way is to protect and rewild existing forests.

This fantastic @BenEhrenreich piece from the new TNR issue hits bone deep at the bizarre disconnect between cheery optimism from folks in climate world in the US and the fact that so, so little has actually changed https://t.co/Yqc9fQVZUv

785 million people lack access to #cleanwater and climate change is making access to clean water even harder.

For #WorldWaterDay, join the conversation and raise your voice to say what water means to you. #water2me

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

This article is exceptionally good. So much rich history on worker and social struggles to exert democratic control over life-altering tech. Big clarity about the correct terms for this debate going forward.

My favorite line from the poem by @TheAmandaGorman today: “We lift our gazes not to what stands between us but what stands before us.” She is amazing. #inauguration2021

The Pantanal is currently on fire in Brazil and yet this doesn’t make the headlines. I don’t mean to say it is more or less important than current fires on the US west coast or the Australian fires last year, but this might be an consequence of climate change. A thread 1/n

[Zoe Britnell @ZoeBritnell]

#Indigenous communities are under increasing threat across the Brazilian Amazon during the #COVID19 pandemic due to lack of adequate government response, land grabs and deforestation.

Action is needed to ensure protections for indigenous communities ✊

When we are talking about Britain coming to terms with its legacy of Empire - remember that’s not simply a historical fact, it’s an everyday reality of how U.K. & others in global North have continued to exploit & sacrifice black/brown people from colonialism to neoliberalism.

[Runnymede Trust @RunnymedeTrust]

What can we do to help get the histories of empire and migration on the school curriculum in England?

We're preserving #BlackLivesMatter signs left at the former site of the #Colston statue so we can tell the story of this historic moment for our city at @mshedbristol
