When devastating floods hit Kenya, homes and livelihoods were destroyed and there was a surge in sexual and gender-based violence.
@oxfaminKE & local partners responded, backed by £125k from @scotgov's Humanitarian Emergency Fund.

📺As @JamiePolitics tells @BBCScotlandNews, @scotgov's re-writing of its own climate rulebook is an acute global embarrassment and a mess of Ministers' own making.
Our full reaction to the news a key Scottish emission reduction target is being axed bit.ly/3W3FaUc

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.

Great to see this impact. 👇👇👇
Over 385,000 refugees from South Sudan are living in seven camps across Gambella in western Ethiopia.

The #WPS agenda is being prioritised through implementation of the fifth NAP, but overall, we found it is isolated and inconsistent in UK Gov work.

“After scant progress to reduce emissions this damning report comes as no surprise. Since declaring a climate emergency, @scotgov has failed to deliver anything close to an emergency response, & must now redouble efforts"
Full response to @theCCCuk report stopclimatechaos.scot/adviso…
We’ve published the latest assessment of Scotland’s progress to reduce emissions. The Committee no longer believes that the Scottish Government will meet its statutory 2030 goal to reduce emissions by 75%. More: theccc.org.uk/2024/03/20/sco… xitter.cf/theCCCuk/status/177023…

We'll only deliver emission cuts at speed & scale if the transition is fair.
@IPPRScotland w/ @OxfamScotland @sfha_hq explore how clean heating can be paid for fairly. ⏬
Full grants for those on low incomes, with better off (who tend to pollute more) paying more via fair taxes

Ahead of the meeting of the UN Committee to draft the ToR for the convention on international tax cooperation this week, over 20 NGOs have written to the Prime Minister calling on the UK government to reconsider its position on the UN Tax Convention. 1/3 bond.org.uk/press-releases/2…

The UK has tried to derail UN plans for a fairer global tax system. So, 22 NGOs have got involved - including @TaxJusticeNet @bondngo @TaxJusticeUK with input from @GlobalJusticeUK @Oxfam & @Greenpeace. Read more on this important story below:

Today CAN-UK has published our 2024 UK election briefing for all parties.
Addressing the climate change and nature crises demand prioritisation in foreign policy and a focus on the priorities of low- and middle-income countries to leave no one behind.

Today we invited Scotland’s political parties to join us to show they are committed to faster and fairer climate action in 2024. We're grateful to @ScotGovFM, @patrickharvie, @SarahBoyack and @agcolehamilton for joining us.
Following a series of missed annual climate targets and increasingly severe impacts, every party needs to adopt strong climate action as a new year’s resolution, and it’s vital that they work together and do everything they can to support this.

Our Chief Executive joined @sccscot to urge party leaders to take swift and decisive climate action in Scotland, to minimise the effects of the #ClimateCrisis on those around the world who did the least to cause it.

Important reporting by @declanwalsh on the civil warfare in DR Congo, which may have killed 6 million people over the decades and now is entering a new phase. Murder, rape and hunger are widespread. Rwanda bears responsibility, and the UK is unhelpful. nytimes.com/2023/12/17/world…

Here's the crux. If Govt can argue that ploughing ahead with Rosebank, 100+ other oil & gas licences and Cumbria coal mine all count as "transitioning away from fossil fuels", then either they haven't read a word of the #COP28 text, or the text itself just isn't strong enough.

Great that Global Affairs Canada recently announced 11m CAD funding for @GAGGA_Alliance, an alliance that fund and strengthens gender-just climate action 👏
An important step for accessible, inclusive climate finance for other governments to follow

Reparations are not just about money. They are about justice, healing, and solidarity.
How can Scotland play its part in repairing the harms of colonialism?
