Staggering statistic in an important new @ContextClimate piece by @Rolionaroll and @BhaskerTripathi:
In India, about 30 farmers take their lives every *day*. according to recent crime data cited by @IIED.
And experts say the real numbers are far higher. context.news/climate-risks/c…
@northernassist hello! We are on our way to Windermere. Our 14.21 from MP to oxenholme cancelled. Now getting into oxenholme at 16.32 …. Your oxenholme > Windermere train leaves at 16.32! Any chance you could hold for us? Otherwise we will miss and then wait 1hr 10 :(

#EarthHour is a call to massively increase #ClimateAction & a reminder that all of us can play our part.
I invite you to switch off your lights for an hour on 25 March at 8.30pm local time - wherever you are.
Every minute and every hour counts.

Over 1 million species now face extinction, many within the next few decades. We are facing multiple crises at the same time.
There is no planet B, there is no time to waste. We are losing more than time every single day. #ActOnClimate

'Brexit has been a disaster.'
This Brexiteer says the only way the UK can gain economic growth is by 'rejoining the EU'.

Learnt a lot working w/@FernandaAlcobe @IdrissYamikani (#Malawi) & Milan Dhungana (#Nepal) to make this video about the rigorous reporting rules (Enhanced Transparency Framework) that will be so critical in holding countries to account to achieve the 1.5C #climate target #COP27
In “The Enhanced Transparency Framework: why it matters & what it means for the Least Developed Countries” @FernandaAlcobe interviews #LDC climate negotiators & transparency experts on the benefits & challenges of this tougher climate reporting framework. youtube.com/watch?v=InQoz5tm…

A month after completing IIED’s Communications Learning Week, Gathoni Mwai and Vivienne Wendo share some of their reflections on the importance of strategic communications to help raise local voices.
ALT Fantastic images of nature, such as this forest trail in the Unamat forest in Peru are nice, but must be supported by effective messaging to register with their intended audience. For example, Indigenous and tribal territories contain about a third of all the carbon stored in the forests of Latin America.
