The University need to take our (the Sheffield students) concerns seriously. Join the students on campus and stand in solidarity with Gaza 🇵🇸

Please consider helping out at this walk for nature in Sheffield if you can - it can't go ahead if they can't get enough marshals.

Honestly it's so difficult to keep working as though any research we do (on social justice, on trying to improve lives & save species from extinction) matters when intl laws are broken & outrageous injustices keep happening in full view

📢 We're restarting our sustainability talks series with event titled 'Reflections on COP28: Talking the talk or walking the walk?' 🗓️ Tuesday 6 February, 1-4pm 🎙️ Speakers: @KevinClimate @lowennabjones @TomWoodScience @rdmarchanduk 🎟️ bit.ly/3NU3MKf Everyone welcome!

I have been deeply mourning Dr. Hani Al-Haitham since he was killed a few days ago. I want to tell you about Hani, an incredible person and doctor. He was killed with his wife, Dr. Samira Al-Ghefari and their five children, Sherin, Thea (Tota), Sara, Samir, and Wafaa. A 🧵

@Mark_Spencer, I urge you to say YES to healthy #bees, safe soils, and clean waters. And NO to bee-killing neonics. My email to you today explains why. Please listen to the scientists & experts like @WildlifeTrusts ️#NoMoreNeonics #ActionForInsects #NatureFriendlyFarming

If your employer wants you to use multi-factor authentication, then I would say they need to provide you with two internet-connected devices to do it. I'm all for improved security, but since when was it ok to make my personal phone essential for accessing my work email account?

Many asked me what slogan I was raising at the COP28 Stage yesterday. It was: "Our Leaders Lies, People's Dies" . It's easy to stand amongst the crowd but it takes courage to stand alone.

NEW: Countries have just adopted a global stocktake calling for countries to transition away from fossil fuels in this critical decade at #COP28 Cheers and hugs in the plenary room

Imagine the power in a whole auditorium of people risking their pass at COP to stand up and actively demonstrate how strongly we feel this urgency.

It was a privilege to be at COP when @LicypriyaK took a stand. I missed this by about an hour, but I've watched the videos. I can't help thinking about how powerful it would have been if more of us had got up and supported her. Surely can't kick us all out.

I've been at COP28 this week. It's been fascinating, disheartening, uplifting in places, and a heck of an emotional rollercoaster. Will be digesting this absolutely unreal experience over the next few days and hopefully come back with a little more to say. Watch this space.

Food, Agriculture and Water Day at COP28 hosted the first-ever COP ministerial dialogue on building water-resilient food systems, co-convened by the UAE and Brazil.   During the meeting, Ministers from more than 15 countries shared commitments to prioritize interlinked efforts on water and food.   #COP28 #UniteActDeliver

Dear Mr @antonioguterres Sir @simonstiell Sir, What is the reason to cease my @UNFCCC #COP28UAE badge for protesting against the fossil fuels? If you're really standing against the fossil fuels, then you must support me and you must immediately release my badges. This is gross violation and abuse of Child Rights in the UN premises which is against the UN principle. I have the rights to raise my voice at UN.

Young protester storms the stage at the Global Climate Action High Level event, just after the #COP28 presidency finished their speech. This is the first such action I've seen here & received wide, loud & long applause in support after she was escorted from off by UN police.

Hi @_OliviaBlake, I'm your constituent, horrified by the killing of thousands of civilians in Gaza. As the death toll continues to rise, we urgently need a ceasefire. Will you back the amendment? #CeasefireNOW
