On #EarthDay, take a look at an extraordinary court ruling. It orders Peru to clean up lead contamination and take other steps to address #leadpoisoning. Relevant for #Kabwe and #sacrificezones around the world! @ZambiaMGEE @LeadFreeKabwe hrw.org/news/2024/04/1…

This #EarthDay, as part of @LeadFreeKabwe, we are advocating for Kabwe to be cleaned. Kabwe deserves a fresh start - cleaning up means healthier lives for the people, and ensuring a brighter future for generations to come. #EarthDay #LeadFreeKabwe

This week, we celebrate two resources that sustain life: water and forests. On #IntlForestDay🌳 today, we honor the invaluable role of forests in biodiversity and climate regulation. For Saturday's #WorldWaterDay🚰, let's protect our freshwater sources and ensure access for all.
