The world might be pulling back on climate truth: but I'm stepping it up.
How? I'm adding new videos, deep dives & behind-the-scenes stories to Talking Climate.
Why? Because climate honesty and hope matter more than ever right now.

Such an important report, and full of issues that are very concerning from the perspective of health justice - a principle we have been working on and for for many years in the fields of #bioethics and #publichealthethics and #healthjustice.
Israel is deliberately depriving people of aid in #Gaza.
MSF’s new report shows how restrictions blocked medical supplies, sometimes even forcing our teams to perform procedures without anesthesia.

Sie will möglich machen, europäische Strafzahlungen wegen zu wenig Klimaschutz aus dem Topf zu bezahlen, der Klimaschutz finanzieren soll.
