🌱 Our European sister agencies are urging EU policymakers to ensure its new seed law allows farmers to freely exchange seeds, protects biodiversity and upholds the right to food worldwide. What happens in the EU will have global consequences — including for our partners. 🌍🌾

Some of the evidence we received talked about the on-the-ground impacts that cuts are already having. The lives and welfare of some of the poorest people in the world are at risk while the FCDO’s plans for restructuring proceed.

Plans for restructuring at @FCDOGovUK could make it easier for poverty reduction to be deprioritised and must be paused. Read our interim report on the Future of UK aid and development assistance ⬇️ publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5901/cmse…

Climate change is a reality here. While we don't lack essential resources, land drying is an emerging issue. Organisations like @FI_Conservation and SAERI are investigating these impacts as we work to protect our Islands. Many Islanders directly engage in mitigation works today.

The Somerset Levels was once England's most precious wetland landscape, our Camargue or Danube Delta, known as the Avalon Marshes, the birthplace of England. This amazing watery landscape has been engineered, drained and desecrated beyond recognition and at vast expense to taxpayers, for little or no gain. Now though, at long last, change is in the air.

Once upon a time, Coca-Cola set the standard for refillable glass bottles. But today, they’re the top corporate plastic polluter in the world according to Brand Audit reports. Send this to @CocaCola to urge them to Bring Back Refill. #BreakFreeFromPlastic #NoToSingleUse

Costa Rica, once home to rampant logging, has now almost doubled the size of its rainforest. They turned it all around within a generation. It can be done. Protect people and the planet. #ActOnClimate #biodiversity #deforestation #rewilding #solutions

Welcome news from today's #ScotBudget that people travelling to Scotland on private jets will be taxed ✈️ 🥳 We look forward to sharing our views in the consultation and making sure polluters pay appropriately for the damage they cause 💰

New research shows that countries in debt distress are sending billions to wealthy, private creditors. Our Lead Economist, @MariaFFinnerty, spoke to @nichferris about the situation and how English law allows it to continue. independent.co.uk/news/world/afr…

I want to share some news from Mount Kenya. I’ve just climbed the mountain hoping to swim in a lake beneath the Lewis Glacier, to shine a light on how quickly Africa’s last glaciers are disappearing, and why the world’s remaining ice is so precious. I’ve visited hundreds of glaciers over the years, but the Lewis Glacier was one of the most shocking to witness. It is now so small, and it will disappear very soon. Yet, shortly before we reached the summit, we were informed that the swim could not go ahead, and that filming near the glacier would not be allowed. After many months of preparation, this was painful to hear. However, this campaign has never been about the swim alone. It has always been about protecting nature for the people who depend on it today and in the future. Tomorrow I’ll be speaking at the UN Environment Assembly in Nairobi, where over 150 environment ministers and leaders are meeting. I’ll be sharing what I saw on the mountain, and why protecting glaciers is now so urgent. 📷Duncan Moore

This was after the massive flash flood in Sibolga, Central Tapanuli in North Sumatra, Indonesia yesterday. Thankfully these people seem OK. Look at the size of the boulders that the floodwater moved!!

"On our current path, civilisation as we know it will disappear. If we meet current commitments only – net zero by 2050 – perhaps some form of humanity will survive, managing the challenges of continued extreme weather events, ice loss, and sea-level and temperature rises."@Sir_David_King @ClimateCrisisAG Guardian 27 May 2024.

Over 21 million people in DR Congo require humanitarian assistance. Due to global aid cuts, only 6.8 million are targeted for support. A conference in Paris aimed to mobilise support and we call for action to support local responders. Read more. ⤵️ cafod.org.uk/news/media/pre…

For 80 years, the @UN has worked to forge peace, tackle poverty & hunger, advance human rights & build a more sustainable world,. Now, more than ever, the world must recommit to solving problems no nation can solve alone. On this #UNDay, let’s stand together & act as one.

I know everyone's talking about nationalising @Thameswater this morning but here's another one to add to the list, @SouthernWater ❌ Failed to meet customer satisfaction targets. ❌ Failed to meet leakage targets. ❌ Failed to meet consumption targets. ❌ Failed to meet supply interruption targets. ❌ Failed to meet drinking water quality standards. ❌ Failed to meet mains repair targets. ❌ Failed to meet pollution incident targets. ❌ Failed to meet sewer collapse targets. ❌ Failed to meet sewage works compliance targets. ❌ Total pollution incidents UP. ❌ Serious pollution incidents UP. ❌ Failure to report pollution incidents UP. ❌ Failure to comply with discharge permits UP. ❌ Failure to meet enviro improvement targets UP. And customers are expected to pay 53% more on their bills for this nonsense. We're being taken for a ride and govt is allowing it to happen.

Antarctica may have crossed a tipping point that leads to rising seas Scientists are beginning to understand the sudden loss of sea ice in Antarctica ― and there is growing evidence that it represents a permanent shift with potentially catastrophic consequences newscientist.com/article/249850… docs.google.com/document/d/1xD…
