#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. My remarks at #COP29: un.org/sg/en/content/…

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. abc.net.au/news/2024-11-1…

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. #COP29

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! 👏

We're powering up remote communities across Vanuatu with sustainable energy & jobs, thanks to two #AIFFP Off-Grid Renewable Energy Partnerships that officially launched this week. Excited to be providing clean & affordable solar power to remote communities & tackling e-waste 🇻🇺🤝🇦🇺

"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." @UNWateridge tells @BBC about the dire humanitarian crisis in Northern #Gaza, with families cut off from food, water, and aid for over a month.

“It is absolutely terrifying. You can hear children crying, people screaming, people running for their lives, and it has been nonstop for 24 hours. People are trapped." @UNWateridge tells @AJEnglish that people in #Gaza are facing relentless and continuous bombardments with nowhere safe to go.
