Extreme heat is a serious health hazard, particularly for older people, people w disabilities, pregnant people + children. Govts have a human rights obligation to protect people from the harms of extreme heat fueled by climate change. New from @hrw: bit.ly/3PLTaM2

“The next time someone says ‘fossil fuel subsidies’, remember they are talking about our so-called ‘leaders’ using working people’s taxes to invest in the deaths of children & the planet.” – @kuminaidoo at #COP26 on why it’s a crucial necessity to #StopFundingFossils immediately
