Warnings from Edward Said not heeded. Clear and prescient interrogation of how 'civilization clash' serves the purposes of reactionaries. youtu.be/ty_-zHrfEUY?si=0pfG…
How do people cope with multiple people and ecosystem climate effects in Bangladesh? This new paper provides some insights. link.springer.com/article/10…
Looking forward to see how gender responsive climate action will be supported by FCDO. Shame that moves toward a feminist foreign policy were ditched in election run up @PreetKGillMP @AnnelieseDodds
Experience on gender equality bodes well, apparently scant international development experience. Couldn't be worse than @D_G_Alexander
I am honoured to be appointed a Minister in the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. @FCDOGovUK
I will support the Government’s mission to reconnect Britain around the world to deliver economic growth, climate action, and equality. 🇬🇧

People in Scotland want stronger climate action & the general election is a key opportunity to remind candidates & parties of this.
Ask your candidates this climate question about fossil fuels 🔥

The legal route for climate action corroborated by the UKs supreme court. Landmark ruling could threaten future UK oil drilling

@UNUINRA visits @ChrisGyan (SESA), a green entrepreneur whose plastic recycling & repurposing initiative is helping curb 🇬🇭’s environmental pollution & degradation.
Great to see Africa’s youth tackling environmental problems & creating green jobs.

Today is 5 years since @ScotParl declared a #ClimateEmergency but it hasn't delivered an emergency response.
In our welcome letter to @ScotGovFM we urge him to lead a government that delivers fair action to address the emergency with the urgency needed

Whoever runs the @ScotGov, investing in tackling the climate crisis isn’t a choice, it’s a necessity.
The people of Scotland want climate leadership and for all parties to work together to deliver action.
Fair climate action will unlock major benefits.

It is a great honour to share this opportunity in memory of my good friend and colleague, Dr Saleemul Huq.
Applications are being sought for a new scholarship and award for researchers from developing countries for solutions to loss and damage caused by climate change.

The lack of urgency to deliver Scotland's emissions reduction stands in stark contrast to Scotland's declaration of international climate solidarity at COP26. The latter requires the former. Cross party support for achieving climate goals should be the priority. @MairiMcAllan
Today @scotgov announced plans to weaken climate laws, axing the 2030 emissions reduction target. While every @ScotParl party has a role to play @scotgov cannot duck responsibility.
Our climate promises are broken - @ScotGovFM get Scotland’s climate commitments back on track.

No one wants to live in a Scotland where a 1/4 of kids grow up in poverty and where the services we all rely on are pushed to the brink.
It’s time for our political leaders to work together to boost investment at #ScotBudget & beyond.

This is what @StephanieKelton calls 'learned helplessness' The idea that basic services have to be rationed is a fallacy. These are political choices. Where did the money come from after WWII to create an NHS, massive home building & huge infrastructure projects Wes?

I've just invoked Art.99 of the UN Charter - for the 1st time in my tenure as Secretary-General.
Facing a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, I urge the Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe & appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared.
