"The bicycle is a simple solution to some of the world's most complicated problems"

🌹There is no love. There are only proofs of love. Time for the 46 European governments to move beyond good intentions & take a firm position on Feb. 25th in favour of a legally binding instrument to protect the right to a healthy environment under the 🇪🇺 European Convention on Human Rights

Don't forget to register for our speed briefing on a new legal toolkit to protect people displaced in the context of climate change. The Australian one is tomorrow - Fri 14 Feb 12.30-1pm. Full details here www.unsw.edu.au/news/2025/02...

There has been little to no rainfall in northern #Syria, the country's bread basket, and we're getting alarming footage from our partners showing barren land, which should be green by now. What will this bring for the future? See our 2022 report on these fears reliefweb.int/report/syria...

"President Trump’s funding freeze has thrown into confusion the future of a Syrian desert camp holding thousands of Islamic State members and their families." Let's not forget, almost 2 in 3 #AlHol detainees are children, most of whom are too young to remember IS-rule, let alone be fighters.

More than 64,000 Palestinians may have been killed by traumatic injury in the first nine months of the war in Gaza, according to a new study. It suggests that the Hamas health ministry tally, a figure the UN relies on, is a significant undercount. nyti.ms/4fZxCIv

"a perverse incentive drove our system. To win promotions and bigger salaries, military and civilian leaders felt they had to sell their tours of duty, deployments, programs and projects as successes — even when they were not" #Afghanistan www.nytimes.com/2025/01/02/o...

With recent news that 40% of Earth's land habitats are now categorised as drylands, the capacity of solar farms to prevent desertification seems doubly significant.

Undercurrents shows how civil war, environmental degradation and mismanagement have reduced #water and #land resources in Yemen, driving further #conflict. In this assessment, we at @climatediplo.bsky.social outline why climate and environmental action must be part of #Yemen's peace efforts.

I wrote about the elephant in the room at COP: National debt. Developing countries are drowning in debts owed to states, private bondholders, and banks. Disasters provoke more debt. New climate finance often comes as debt, too. It's a dangerous spiral. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

🌍 Somalia’s $100M climate fund success is a breakthrough, but conflict-hit nations need $35B annually to adapt. Can climate finance overcome fear to invest where risk is highest?
