The absolute incapacity of Western leaders to enforce intl law when it comes to Israel is EPIC.
Ministers, Prime Ministers, Presidents of Republic:
Doing NOTHING, diverting attention, sanctioning individual ministers IS NOT enforcing the intl law that was developed after the Holocaust and WWII to prevent another Holocaust and WWII.
At this critical point,
Your states have a CLEAR obligation to:
1. Sanction Israel
2. Impose a total arms embargo (no buy, no sell, no transfer, direct or indirect)
3. Break the siege (send navies instead of dropping food on the head of starving genocide survivors)
4. Suspend all trade agreements with Israel till the end of the genocide, occupation and apartheid.
5. Investigate and prosecute individuals and orgs that have committed crimes in the oPt.
Together we can, and we will.

📢In this provocative @ViennaYearbook Debate, Baschieri & Snow argue that individuals impact emissions differently and that we need a more evidence-based use of demographic data for effective adaptation and mitigation strategies

Heatwaves in Kenya pose risks for mothers and infants, yet many interviewed mothers are unaware of early warning systems or weather updates
See paper led by @AdelaideLusam 👇
Bridging this gap with affected communities is crucial for safeguarding health during extreme heat. 👩👧
Effective risk communication and access to heat warnings are essential for health protection. Our new paper in PLOS One "Community perspectives of heat and weather warnings for pregnant and postpartum women in Kilifi" journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…

We need targeted adaptation strategies to enhance resilience, focusing on the most vulnerable. Global funding must be structured to equitably distribute resources, prioritizing the economically disadvantaged. #ClimateJustice #GlobalFunding @lizgulaz @valesalasf @pisfcc @UNFPA
The Loss and Damage Fund is vital for helping the most vulnerable cope with climate change - supports human rights, gender equality, and youth empowerment. Let's tackle the #ClimateCrisis together for a fairer future. #ClimateAction @lizgulaz @dienekeita @UNFPA

Women are key players in climate action, but they're often left behind.
💪 Investing in women's education & leadership strengthens communities' resilience to climate change.
