@ITAAirways I submitted a “complaint” for a ITA flight cancellation earlier this month, but misspelled my email address. Now I have no record of it nor can I access it. Can you pls help me correct it? Thank you.

@EmiratesSupport @emirates EK sold me a premium 1-2-1 business class seat on A380, then switched to B777-with an angled middle seat on a 13+ hour flight?! Like 20 years ago. No courtesy to inform/offer alternatives/do anything. That’s a bait & switch. Wish I’d booked on QR or TK.

Looking forward to this. For good reason, blended finance is the talk of the world to save the world. But is it fully fit for purpose? Join the conversation…

CPI's @VWidge spoke to @EnergyMonitorAI about how debt-for-climate swaps can generate finance for #ClimateAction. Check out the article 👇
Energy Monitor@EnergyMonitorAI

The @IIED estimates debt-for-climate swaps could generate more than $100bn for environmental action in the Global South. A spate of recent deals indicates the financial instrument is starting to catch on, reports @OllieGordon88. bit.ly/3kzUrvu

Some personal news: After deep thought & some meaningful conversations, I have decided to step away from the moderator role of Washington Week. This move will allow me to focus full time on my commitments to NBC News & to finish my upcoming memoir.

@Hertz It’s been > a week since I contacted you about a sham unsubstantiated claim for damages in your name. You promised to review & revert. No response since in spite of reminders every 2 days. As a President’s Circle member, I was expecting priority rather than being ignored!

@Hertz How long does this take? I shared info by DM 4 biz days ago…w/ reminder 2 days ago. Nada. Hence trying public appeal again. As a President’s Circle member, was expecting priority, not silent treatment. Pls confirm that this is a scam or a mistake and the matter closed. Thanks.

@Hertz Someone is trying to scam me using your name. 5+weeks after I returned a car in good order, someone is writing on your behalf claiming a large amount for damages. First I’m hearing of this as neither Hertz rental rep nor anyone after has said anything. What’s going on?

👍🏽 as heat is a silent killer. No doubt stats soon from another “historic” #heatwave in Europe, like in India. As @KBMcLeodFLA said elsewhere…we wouldn’t expect pizza delivery in a named Cat 3 hurricane, but we expect people to keep working outside in #extremeheat. #NameTheWave
Kathy Baughman McLeod@KBMcLeodFLA

#NameTheWave starts today in #Seville! Thank you @antoniomunozsev & @Ayto_Sevilla for your partnership w/ @ArshtRock & for your leadership in protecting people from #extremeheat! Today is DAY ONE for Naming & categorizing heatwaves ♨️♨️♨️with @PrometeoSevilla👏👏

Honoured to have been awarded an OBE today alongside so many great friends working to tackle climate change. A great green honours list which hopefully will inspire others to join in building the new politics, economy & diplomacy we need to ensure a safe climate for everyone.
