Every fraction of a degree of global warming matters.
Yet greenhouse gas emissions remain at record levels.
The new @UNEP #EmissionsGap Report shows what it will take to change course & pull back from the brink of a climate catastrophe.

Inequality compounds. But how?
Look at employment: 23% of women with disabilities are employed, compared with 67% of men without disabilities.
When inequalities overlap, the gaps grow.

Safe toilets mean dignity.
Only around half of health care facilities globally have improved sex-separated toilets (55%) or toilets with menstrual hygiene facilities (49%).
Women and girls deserve privacy and dignity everywhere.

The chance to keep global warming below 1.5°C with no overshoot is gone.
But urgent action can still limit the overshoot and bring warming back to 1.5°C by 2100.
Current policies, however, put the 🌎 on course for up to 2.8°C this century.

Across Sudan, children continue to face deadly violence after more than three years of conflict.
UNICEF calls on all parties to the conflict to comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law and protect civilians and civilian infrastructure. Children must be protected wherever they are, at all times.

ALT At least 12 children, some as young as two, were reportedly killed in two separate incidents in Sudan's West Kordofan and Khartoum states in recent days.

Change begins when silence is broken.
In #Liberia, the Born Perfect Bus Tour is creating space for honest conversations about female genital mutilation (FGM), and people are listening.
