🔥 HUGE NEWS FROM THE WORLD'S HIGHEST COURT 🔥 Today the International Court of Justice (ICJ) confirmed that, under international law, countries MUST act now to avoid climate catastrophe. 🧵 @wy4cj.bsky.social

Toxic masculinity isn’t just a social issue. It prevents us from fully addressing climate change, too. yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/07/toxi...

📢 Miliband’s first State of the Climate address is a step forward - but it misses a vital lens. Without gendered, intersectional analysis, climate policy risks leaving people behind. Here’s what’s missing and what must change: www.wen.org.uk/2025/07/17/a...

The NHS’s new 10-Year Health Plan for England sets out a welcome shift towards prevention and mental health support - but there’s one essential piece missing from this plan: nature! It was great to see this picked up last week @the-independent.com www.the-independent.com/news/health/...

This Clean Air Day is a great time to revisit the story of Hirra Khan Adeogun and the Car Free Cities campaign. In this interview she explains how Car Free Cities can cut air pollution, boost public health and tackle inequalities. Read here: www.wen.org.uk/2021/...

Shocking News: A new study, led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, has found that exposure to air pollution during pregnancy may influence how a baby’s brain develops before birth. Read Wen's Statement in response: www.wen.org.uk/2025/...

This #CleanAirDay, Wen's co-director Kate Metcalf talks about how she has been inspired by Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah in @air-quality-news.bsky.social Read the full article here: airqualitynews.com/headlines/cl...

Clean air isn’t just a health issue. It’s a feminist issue, a class issue and a race issue. Women, particularly racialised & marginalised women, are more impacted by air pollution due to the roles expected of them, the places they live, the work they do and the systemic inequalities they face.

This #CleanAirDay, we’re honouring the incredible women leading the call for cleaner air. From Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah’s campaign in memory of her daughter Ella, to the grassroots women leaders fighting for clean, safe, breathable air in their neighbourhoods. Wen's Take: www.wen.org.uk/2025/...

Back in 1999, during the Free Radicals' tour of Westminster, a Wen volunteer was about to deliver a letter to Tony Blair—when a police officer stepped in… to help her remove her plastic breasts! 🚫👙 No plastic breasts allowed in Downing Street!

Our recent report revealed toxic pesticides in tampons. Email Chemicals Minister Emma Hardy to demand action to eliminate pesticides and other harmful chemicals from period products. ✍️ Write now: www.wen.org.uk/2025/...

Extreme heat warning in the UK today. Women, children & marginalised communities are hit the hardest through hot homes, lack of access to green spaces and higher health risks (including impact on pregnancy and birth outcomes). This is how climate injustice shows in the UK.
