I’ve never heard an interview with this immediacy. I came close to tears. How can this be allowed to happen? Who can hesitate to say “genocide?” Who dare say that this eyewitness account of an Australian doctor is Hamas propaganda? abc.net.au/listen/program…

On #WorldChildrensDay, let’s unite to protect and empower children everywhere. It’s our shared responsibility to ensure their futures are brighter and their resilience stronger. Special focus is needed for children in conflict zones, facing economic, humanitarian, and displacement challenges. Let’s also stand with the children of #Haiti, who urgently need our support. Together, we can make a difference. #HaitiCantWait bit.ly/HaitiCantWait

I visited in #Haiti a school that is serving as a shelter for people displaced by the ongoing violence. The international community must step up its support to help meet the urgent humanitarian and protection needs of the Haitian population and to prioritize assistance for internally displaced persons. #HaitiCantWait #HaitiFreeOfHunger

Some would say that #CostaRica is the poorest nation in the world because it has none of the riches that were valued before. We have no fossil fuels, no metals, no minerals. Today we realise that was a blessing because having no fossil fuels, we had no other option but to produce all electricity with clean energies. And our richness lies in nature, tragically undervalued in so much of the world, but treasured here. Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse nations on earth, and despite being one of the smallest countries in Latin America, it has become a leader in sustainability and conservation efforts. Our high levels of wellbeing have very little to do with money or economic growth. Learn more in Episode 7 of Dying Earth, directed by @fatimalianes This new eight-part @AJEnglish documentary series exposes the reality of the climate crisis, exploring what it will take to tackle the emergency. I was pleased to contribute to a few of the episodes, along with the brilliant @kateraworth @jasonhickel and many others. You can watch on YouTube: aje.me/DE7 #dyingearth

6/ At the same time, we need a fairer deal for farmers, freeing them from a system that incentivises pesticide use and other destructive practices, and a vicious cycle of increasing production costs and debt which forces small family farms to be sold to large agri corporations.
