🚨We urgently need Global #PlasticTreaty. Study found counties w/ highest marine #microplastic levels had 16% higher disability rate in self-care, 9% ↗️disability in memory & thinking, 8% ↗️disability in independent living, 6% ↗️disability in mobility compared to counties w/ lowest microplastics levels
New study finds tiny plastic particles in the ocean may be linked to higher risk of disability, meaning people living in coastal areas with high levels of #microplastics may be at more risk of disabilities impacting memory, mobility & self-care

Zuckerberg's plan to end fact checking on #Meta is disgraceful & dangerous. Among many harms caused by #disinformation #misinformation, it undermines people's understanding of #ClimateChange by discrediting science, increasing polarisation & confusion, & delaying & preventing urgently needed action

US uses its trade deal with Mexico to force the government to overturn a ban on GM corn.
A great example of why we do not want a trade deal with the US. It’s incompatible with sovereignty over food standards.

US wins Mexico GM corn dispute case as panel finds curbs not science-based
A trade-dispute panel ruled on Friday that Mexico's restrictions on U.S. genetically modified corn exports violate the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, handing the Biden administration a major trade victory in its final weeks.

"Poverty in Africa – as it is here – is deeply political... some countries suffering from chronic hunger are prioritising the export of cheap food to richer parts of the world, often on the terms dictated by western supermarkets," ✍️ @nickdearden.bsky.social #BandAid

Sorry Bob Geldof, Band Aid has never been helpful
If money is raised by extending an offensive picture of the African continent, then it won’t help to bring about a world without hunger.

#ClimateCrisis is depleting natural resources, causing forced migration, destabilising geopolitics & fuelling a “doom loop” of armed conflict & greenhouse gas emissions that make it harder for countries to cooperate on urgently needed climate action & phase out of #FossilFuels with a #JustTransition
Scary stuff by @laurielaybourn.bsky.social and @jamesgyke.bsky.social on the climate-inflation doom loop:
As climate disruption kicks off, prices go up, central bankers hike and angry voters derail democratic systems, setting the stage for more disruption.
theconversation.com/a-doom-loop-...
A ‘doom loop’ of climate change and geopolitical instability is beginning
Climate change is driving inflation and instability, which harms climate action. But it’s not too late to escape the doom loop.
