🚨 At #SB62 in Bonn, #Argentina added a footnote defining "#gender" as just "male & female" — undermining years of inclusive climate progress.
🌍 Climate action must centre ALL marginalized communities, not erase them.

At the #JuneClimateMeetings in Bonn 🇩🇪, #Bangladesh demands climate grants, not loans. We call for doubling #AdaptationFinance by 2025, urgent action on the Lima Gender Plan & a real #JustTransition. The #RoadToCOP30 must be built on equity & ambition. 🌍✊🏾 #SB62 #LossAndDamage

Deeply shocked by the tragic @airindia 787 Dreamliner crash en route from #Ahmedabad to #London.

One of the safest aircraft, now part of an unimaginable loss. No journey should end this way.

My heartfelt condolences to all affected.

🚨 Women aren't 14x more likely to die in disasters because they're weak, it's because they're systemically held back.
⚠️ Inequality is the real killer.

Women aren't 14 times more likely to die in disasters - inequality is the real killer
Women often do face bigger climate risks but not because they are inherently more vulnerable - they are held back by social barriers we can tackle
