#COP27 While negotiators are in COP27, indigenous leaders are still threatened for defending their territories. We believe the climate negotiations only make sense if they protect the rights of indigenous peoples, the true protectors of humanity's tomorrow. #guardiansoftomorrow

Vi står inför en historisk hungerkris, varnar FN. Djupt oroande att en ny regering vill backa från enprocentsmålet. Sverige borde istället öka - inte minska - insatserna för att motverka fattigdomen och hungerns grundorsaker. aftonbladet.se/a/Xbqyvg
