At COP30, while public statements talked up "high quality" carbon markets, concerted efforts were made in negotiations to water down the already inadequate Article 6 rule book.
Our conclusion: countries must fix Article 6 and not use carbon credits.

The UN Security Council resolution on #Gaza marks a return to the bad old days of the "protectorate" and does absolutely nothing to address the underlying issues.
Its only redeeming factor is to offer short-term reprieve from total war for the traumatised, shelterless and starved people of Gaza.

That foreigners paid to go and shoot Bosnians in Sarajevo like they were just wild game is a sickening aberration.

Freedom foiled: Reflections on the Egyptian (counter)revolution – #25YearsAJournalist - The Chronikler
Writing about the Egyptian revolution and counterrevolution was a rollercoaster of hopeful elation followed by gutting disillusionment. Rarely have so many sacrificed so much for so little.

Ten years ago, ISIS terrorists killed 130 people in Paris and left hundreds wounded and traumatised
But despite what 21st-century jihadists and crusaders claim, there is no clash of civilisations, except in the minds of extremists. We actually live in a mash of civilisations, and this irks fanatics

After months of dithering and infighting, EU leaders agreed on a collective 2040 climate target that buckles to fossil fuel interests. The final deal will be harmful to the climate, to people in Europe and elsewhere, and to our long-term collective wellbeing and prosperity.
The EU has the means to wave goodbye to fossil fuels by 2040, yet environment ministers have backed an unambitious climate target that unfairly shifts some of the burden for domestic climate action to the Global South and future generations.

The election of a man of Muslim and Hindu heritage as mayor of New York shows how far parts of the United States have come since 9/11. The vitriolic and racist reactions to Zohran Mamdani's campaign and victory shows how little has changed among bigots since 9/11.

The reports coming out of al-Fashir in Darfur are chilling. The Rapid Support Forces, an offshoot of the genocidal Janjaweed, are killing unarmed civilians en masse.
And yet the international community and Arab world continue to ignore this genocidal war. Shameful.

Carbon market projects are meant to bring benefits to local communities and indigenous peoples but the reality is that they often cause them considerable harm.

The EU rolled out the red carpet for Egyptian dictator Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi because it wants to stem the flow of migration.
But bankrolling repressive regimes, aiding and abetting genocides, and backpedalling on the climate will only create the kind of hellish conditions that compel people to flee.

I am happy that the ordeal of the Israeli hostages and their families is coming to an end, though the trauma will be lifelong. Being the hostages of a brutal militia and being held amid a hostage population that was under unrelenting attack by your own government must have been terrifying.

For the sake of the long-suffering civilians, who have endured a singular hell, I hope the first phase of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas goes ahead, even if it offers only temporary reprieve.
The “strong, durable, and everlasting peace” Trump believes is on the horizon is a pipe dream.
