Climate collapse is already being felt every day, everywhere: from catastrophic flooding here in the UK to countries like Brazil. Rich countries like the UK must pay their fair share for the damage caused by centuries of pollution. Read the full letter: bit.ly/4rzmU1b

The UK government is cutting climate and nature programmes in the Global South – while claiming it’s meeting its climate funding commitments. We’ve joined 86 organisations to demand these shameful cuts are reversed. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Escalation is a political choice. The UK government must end its involvement now. Demand action.

So far, the US and Israel have killed over 1,000 people in Iran. Last week, over 150 schoolgirls were killed when bombs fell on the playground of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in southern Iran.

The US is using UK military bases in its illegal war on Iran. UK support for these illegal attacks risks repeating the grave mistakes the UK government made in Iraq – and once again breaking international law. Tell the UK government: #HandsOffIran ⬇️ secure.waronwant.org/page/187860/ac…

We need to tax the super-rich, fund public services and take action on the climate. Demand a wealth tax on the super-rich now, so we can rebalance our economy: secure.waronwant.org/page/172837/ac…

Today's #SpringStatement was a complacent flop. 🏫Schools & hospitals collapsing 💰Extreme wealth off the charts 💸Corporations dodging billions in tax 🌏Climate finance being slashed Yet Chancellor Rachel Reeves claims the UK government has "the right economic plan." 🤔

The costs of war are high – on life, livelihoods, and communities. Last week, 115 girls aged 7-12 were killed when bombs fell at the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in southern Iran. Escalation is a political choice – the UK government must uphold international law and push for peace.

International law is meant to stop moments like this: illegal and unprovoked US and Israeli attacks on Iran. Our international laws were written in the aftermath of WWII by people who understood that international law exists to protect people. linkedin.com/pulse/bored-pe…

‼️Israel is trying to claim large areas of the occupied West Bank as “state property” if Palestinians cannot prove their ownership – which after decades of Israeli occupation is almost impossible. Take action to stop Israel stealing more Palestinian land. secure.waronwant.org/page/187131/ac…

Protecting rainforests means supporting the people who live there. Find out more: waronwant.org/news-analysis/…

MONLAR has set up eight demonstration farms where farmers test ecological farming methods in real conditions. Farmers are also now developing new income streams through community-based tourism, while communities are monitoring rainforest areas and reporting illegal activity.

Sri Lanka is losing its rainforests – but communities are fighting to protect them. Many farmers living near the rainforests depend on tea for their income. Yet tea plantation expansion and activities like firewood use in tea processing are contributing to forest loss.🧵
