United Edge is a social enterprise working with change-makers to transform our broken systems with alternative models for global justice.
As the UN Human Rights Council probes atrocities in Sudan, it must also reflect on a hard truth: some of its own members have deeply troubling rights records. Accountability can't just be for the victims; it must apply to the institution itself. UN must hold its members to account. bit.ly/3X7Ic99

Trump’s ‘America First’ climate agenda isn’t just rolling back rules; it could cost 1.3 million lives globally. Analysis shows that his emission deregulation could dramatically increase heat-related deaths, especially in poor, hot countries that contributed the least to the crisis. bit.ly/47ZNNn2

Neha, a young worker in Manesar, Haryana, describes how a scorching 50 °C heatwave pushed her body to the brink. This is climate breakdown, hitting workers, women, and low-income communities first and hardest. As temperatures rise, we can no longer ignore the cost of inaction. bit.ly/4ph6Hgd

We asked difficult questions, tried to understand our positionality, and we were vulnerable yet brave. In today’s JBA Optional Session on Accountability to Future Generations, participants stepped into someone else’s shoes and sent letters to future generations. Here are some of the letters.

The nonprofit sector often stands at the frontline of social change, but can it truly challenge the system when it operates inside it? Are we reforming, resisting, or simply reproducing the logic of capitalism? It’s time to go beyond goodwill and rewrite the rules. bit.ly/47sgSIK

Youth washing is rampant in climate talks. Children are in the photos, holding signs, but at the real tables of power, children and young people still aren’t being part of decision-making. It’s time to move beyond tokenism and give them a real voice in the climate talks. bit.ly/49zE7SA

Climate change is the ultimate intergenerational injustice. Those least responsible will live longest with its consequences.

Climate justice demands more than emission targets. It calls for accountability, reparations, and a genuine just transition. bit.ly/4ohFNEQ

One-third of organizations cease programmes to end violence against women and girls. It’s cutting not just a budget line but a lifeline to women and girls who need it most. Women’s organizations must be funded, and critical lifeline funding must not be rolled back. bit.ly/3WYkKLn

Climate change is revealing how migration policy betrays basic human dignity. From Tuvalu and Kiribati, people facing floods, saltwater intrusion, and loss of livelihood are excluded by discriminatory migration laws that demand perfect health, youth, and no disability.

The Taliban is reasserting itself across Pakistan. Militants are roving openly, extorting livelihoods, targeting civilians and police alike. With a spike of over 600 attacks this year, fear is the new reality. What price do communities pay when borders become battlegrounds? bit.ly/4qdeAog

This weekend, we invite you to take a moment to look at the many faces of Gaza and reflect on what each face is telling us. Every face in Gaza is a witness, a call to the world not to look away, and to take action against genocide.

Deportation has become background noise, a silent crisis hiding in bureaucratic language. Around the world, deportations are being normalized. A world that builds walls against the vulnerable is a world that’s forgotten its humanity. Read more here: bit.ly/4q7LSVO

The UN’s new independent accountability mechanism in Afghanistan offers a pathway from impunity to justice. After decades of conflict, repression, and silenced voices, this is a breakthrough for the survivors, but only if it’s empowered, funded, and held to its promise. bit.ly/4odAZQw
