Finland is aiming to go carbon neutral in 12 years. They're creating jobs by boosting #renewables and saving trees. Its CO2 emissions have already dropped 21% since 1990s levels. We have the solutions, let's speed up & implement. #ActOnClimate

Each winter, Delhi’s skies turn toxic. Kids on nebulizers. 1.7 million pollution linked deaths in India. Yet budgets are cut and science denied. As mothers, we marched at India Gate with children and students to be heard. Because our children deserve to breathe #CleanAir. bloomberg.com/news/features/… via @DanStrumpf 💙

A warmer world is supercharging tropical cyclones: ⛈️ wetter... meaning more floods 🐢 slower... prolonging exposure, resulting in greater damage 🌪️ rapid growth in intensity... meaning less time to prepare We need to adapt to this new reality to protect lives & livelihoods.

The #Gaza famine, a man-made catastrophe, has unfolded in front of the world’s eyes. We saw it coming. We warned about it. We were not allowed to stop it. Now, as we count the lives lost to this intentional starvation, there is only one question to ask world leaders: Where is humanity? End the blockade of aid — TODAY. CEASEFIRE!
