#TimetoLeaveX as feminists we have to reject the use of social media platforms to support misogyny, divisive politics, convicted felons and corporate greed.

Climate finance is not charity, it’s an investment.
#ClimateAction is not optional, it’s an imperative.
Both are indispensable to a liveable world for all humanity and a prosperous future for every nation on Earth.

ActionAid was one of the many co-plaintiffs in this case. This ruling is a disappointing setback for #ClimateJustice and for communities around the world who are least responsible for causing the climate crisis but bearing the brunt of the impacts.

The climate emergency is a story of avoidable injustice.
The rich cause the problem, the poor pay the highest price.
The most vulnerable are being abandoned to climate extremes.
We need climate justice. Now.

This project is so important. Ni-Vanuatu women need electricity for cooking, to charge digital devices, and for lighting. But up to 90% of people in rural areas of Vanuatu have no access to the electricity grid. Thanks for your support @AusHCVanuatu, @dfat & @PowerWellsOrg! 👏

"The escalating crisis means that someone is going to have to pay at the end of the day. The question at #COP is whether the bill lands at the door of those that are causing the damage, or those that suffer it." #COP29 #ClimateFinance #FundOurFuture

"I couldn’t possibly tell you in such a short time how many ways people in Gaza can be killed right now: buildings falling, disease, bombs, starvation.
There’s absolutely no hope right now: people are suffering."
