The White House’s latest travel ban imposes restrictions on citizens from nineteen countries, many of which are contending with crises at home. Another 36 could be next. Here's what to know: cfr.org/article/guide-…

1/2. “I am a long term negotiator on #ClimateFinance, but I am very frustrated as finance is not forth coming. We can avert and minimise #LossAndDamage through #Adaptation. #Adaptation should be considered a global public good, but its not.” Mizan Khan of @EasternCTStateU.

Teachable moment here. I don't love using the term "humanitarian principles" b/c it sounds like an ethical creed. That's not what the principles are. They are fundamentally a *tool* to enable safe humanitarian access. A tool refined by years of hard lessons. Quick🧵

Trumps’s gutting of USAID continues to fuel global suffering. Cutting climate resilience aid won’t reduce migration. It will drive it, by stripping people of the ability to stay safely in their homes. ⁦@JocelynGPerry⁩ ⁦@RefugeesIntl⁩ refugeesinternational.org/reports-briefs…

"Refugees are not the victims; they are the solutions." Why we need to foreground the expertise of affected communities to truly address the climate crisis: ensuring that their voices are heard to express their concerns, their work is funded, and their solutions are implemented.

“We know the best solutions to our problems.” On this Earth Day, hear from our Refugee Fellows, @ayoo_irene3 and @QiyamIKRAM, and Senior Advocate @JocelynGPerry on the importance of including refugees in climate negotiations and policymaking. #climatechange #earthday #refugees

1/4. 📢Several Board members show support for community access (Italy 🇮🇹, Austria 🇦🇹, EU 🇪🇺) and the inclusion of references to women, vulnerable communities and Indigenous Peoples (Canada 🇨🇦), and climate-induced migrants and #Refugees (Egypt 🇪🇬) in the text for the start-up phase of the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD). 😃This is encouraging but we need to see more support! 💪

📣A new @RID_networks paper shows that inclusive, transformative #Adaptation and #Mitigation planning and action can reduce or prevent #LossesAndDamages in the #ClimateChange, #RuralLivelihoods & #HumanMobility nexus. 🔗 Read the full paper here: researchinginternaldisplacement.org/short_pieces/a…

Elon Musk went to Wisconsin where he said the "destiny of humanity" rested on the election. Tonight the voters agreed and rejected his and Trump's undemocratic vision for the country.
