At #PromiseEurope2024 Confce in #Netherlands, listening to @UNHumanRights High Commissioner @volker_turk, flagged: #Bangladesh views #climatecrisis also as crises for #agriculture as much as #water. Little do we ponder how choices | rights of (2.2 bln+) smallholders globally get infringed. Limits of 'attribution' must not limit collective determination as growing body of jurisprudence promise to curve grounds to counteract #climate injustice. @UvA_Amsterdam @PromiseInstUCLA @MinBZ
