The UN has confirmed that Israel has, and continues to, commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
Trócaire urges all states and actors with any influence to do everything in their power to stop the state of Israel continuing this genocide. There is no time to lose. History is watching you.

Useful reminders from the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change:
- Even a 95 % domestic reduction by 2040 still leaves a gap between the EU’s contribution and its fair share of global mitigation efforts.
- International credits... entail significant risks to environmental integrity
