As I (and many others!) get ready to go to #COP30 in Belem, delighted to be a part of this @odi.global podcast that delves into what can and must be achieved. It's (long past) time for an implementation COP

Glad to talk to @codohertynews.bsky.social of @irishtimes.com about the upcoming #COP30. There is a real opportunity to make this the most serious COP in history for #adaptation. Hurricane Melissa is just the latest example of why this is so critical.

🔵An incredible evening in Brighton as 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐑𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐆𝐁 is officially launched at the Duke of York Picturehouse! Over 200 people in attendance. Just wonderful #Solidarity #Friendship #Respect

Happy #WorldRefugeeDay! This year we’re celebrating community as a superpower, because together, we build something stronger. Follow us today for powerful stories of belonging, strength and solidarity. #WorldRefugeeDay #WithRefugees #RefugeesWelcome #RefugeeStrong

This is amazing 👇🩵

📣 Ireland’s power system is off coal! Converting Moneypoint to emergency oil generators is a great idea. Oil can be stored easily, unlike fossil gas that needs complex infrastructure that risks locking in long-term dependence.

🦸 Today we celebrate those standing up for refugees! Groups like Grandmothers & Grandfathers Against Racism remind us of Irish values-even when it’s uncomfortable. ➡️Join the superpower community: lght.ly/7f3anfe #WorldRefugeeDay #CommunityAsASuperpower

Refugees face many challenges yet many still rise with courage to share their stories, bridge gaps, push for change, dignity & a better Ireland for all. Today, we honour their strength! 🔗 Learn more: www.irishrefugeecouncil.ie/Listing/Cate... #WorldRefugeeDay #CommunityAsASuperpower

'In a time when the toxic misinformation spewed on social media has sparked anti-immigrant sentiment, the Sanctuary Runners movement is a reminder that a better world is still possible' #Solidarity #Friendship #Respect

The most eloquent and pertinent article of the Treaty on the European Union

Two of the five cheapest cars for sale in Ireland are full EVs. If charged at home, those EVs cost a fraction to run compared to the petrol equivalent. Driving 50 km/day, the EV costs less than €1 to charge on the cheapest night rate versus €5 for petrol, saving nearly €1,500 each year.
