Spoke at last week's #CampaignHackathon by @actionaidnepal, NMES & YAN on how climate justice & decent work are linked. 🌍⚒️

Communities losing land, water & forests to climate impacts also face economic precarity. Justice must be collective. ✊🏽

**Air Pollution: A Silent Epidemic in Asia**

Air pollution is the leading environmental risk factor for poor health in Asia. Across the region, millions are routinely exposed to air pollution levels far exceeding World Health Organization guidelines.

The richest 1% in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East capture 20% of all income—almost twice the share of Europe’s top 1%. Global South continues to be home to the world's most unequal countries. Solution is simple: #TaxtheRich. The world's elite at #WEF in #Davos are you listening? #FightInequality

Tackling the unequal impacts of climate crisis requires making rick polluters pay. I spoke to Eco-Business on its importance and other wise ranging issues on climate justice. Read it here; www.eco-business.com/news/oxfam-a...

The World Weather Attribution has sobering findings:

“Climate change contributed to the deaths of at least 3,700 people & the displacement of millions. The number of people killed in extreme weather this year is likely in the hundreds of thousands.“

The issue isn’t a lack of understanding—it's a deliberate avoidance of responsibility by rich polluters. #ClimateJustice #ICJ"

The failure of global leadership to address #ClimateCrisis is disheartening, but hope thrives in grassroots projects challenging status quo. Here’s how a small village in Nepal is weaving a #JustTransition. 🧵

The Colossal Fraud Sealed at #COP29Baku

Once again, wealthy nations have shown that their profits come before people’s lives.

Under pressure, poorer countries were pushed into a so-called $300 billion ‘deal’ that is effectively a death sentence for millions of people.

Second last day at #COP29 = new text:
- after 3 years of negotiating a #climatefinance goal rich countries have no $$$ on the table 🤯
- rich countries block #LossAndDamage from #NCQG 😱
- rich countries want loans & carbon markets as finance 🤬

We have 1 day left. Time to get real rich countries!

It's good to see you on Bsky, Sunil, and that you are getting this networking in.

1/3. Away from the spotlight of #COP29Baku, I had a brief interaction in Colombo with journalists from across South and Southeast Asia, discussing the local impacts of global climate injustice.
