Russia's victory in the #USElection2024, means Europe stands alone. Donald Tusk is right no more US Cavalry will save us.
#ClimateActionNow Build our #Renewables now (no more judicial reviews, delays etc.). Emergency action was needed in 2022, even more so now in #GE24 #ClimateEmergency

Sincere thanks to Derek Scally in @irishtimes.com who captures the significance of presenting The Objects of Love exhibition in Radogoszcz, Łódź, Poland .

Radogoszcz, now a museum was a former Gestapo camp where my grandfather, Pawel was incarcerated.

A profound moment of healing for my family.

Once again, 🇮🇪 lack of investment in defence and security has repercussions and assistance will be required from our 🇪🇺 partners.
When decades of neglect and indifference is your defence policy of choice, expect no less.

This is the ONLY thing that matters at #COP30. It is the ONLY thing that should guide discussions and frame decisions. If we fail to halt the rise of CO2 concentrations and turn them negative then all else is wasted effort.

Emissions have gone up in the past, but our outlook has improved.

Projections for 2100 are lower today than 10y ago. 2015 we estimated temperature increase of up to 3.8° by 2100, we now it’s 2.7 given current policies.

Although we're not where we should be, we're on a significantly better trajectory than we were 10 years ago.

Today I endeavoured to speak for the rivers, to provide a counter balance to the lobbyist's narrative on the polluting nitrates derogation.

Our rivers, lakes and seas deserve a chance to run healthy, wild and free from pollution

''The State could face compliance costs of €8 billion to €26 billion after 2030. This range represents the likely cost of buying carbon credits from countries that overachieve their targets, leaving us with nothing but a receipt.''

🤝75 years of the European Convention on Human Rights

A landmark treaty that reshaped Europe after the second World War, protecting millions of Europeans and supporting our shared values of human rights, democracy and rule of law.

Because human rights aren’t optional. They’re universal.
