Important messages for #HRC53 from @cmdplatform Steering Group member Shakirul Islam @okupent. In fact, climate change disasters & livelihood impacts can increase vulnerability to trafficking & labor exploitation.
Working with our members to engage with UN human rights mechanisms is a big part of GAATW's advocacy work. Here's @okupent addressing the UN Human Rights Council, endorsing the findings of @smullallylaw's report on Bangladesh 🇧🇩 #HRC53

Excellent piece detailing the nexus of poor water policies and increasing climate change impacts leading to rural-to-urban migration, instability and cross-border tensions.

A compelling OpEd by @GomeraM @UNDPRwanda on embracing the GDP of the poor: Nature
It spotlights the policy distortion that favours multinational corporations by providing harmful subsidies for industrialised, chemical-dependent farming at the expense of smallholder farmers and the environment.

Happy to share my second article of the blog series, ‘Under the weather, on the move’, where the role of an intersectional lens for understanding climate migration is elaborated.
#climatemigration #intersectionality #migration
An intersectional lens can help us understand who migrates and who stays, and why, writes #CSTEP researcher @snadimp2 in the second article of our #climate #migration blog series 'Under the Weather, On the Move' on @Medium: cstep.medium.com/uncovering-…

Important call from the UN High Commissioner for #HumanRights @volker_turk on the #LossAndDamage Fund, as the Transitional Committee continues discussions on its operationalization.
People on the frontlines have a right to remedy for the harms caused by the #climatecrisis.
#TC2
At COP27, a commitment was made to create a #LossAndDamage fund. By #COP28 we need action
Those on #ClimateCrisis' frontlines must be heard & their right to #ClimateJustice & remedy ensured
It's time to do what's just, what's smart - for humanity, for🌎 It's time to pay up #TC2

The @WorldBank's #WDR23 framework on migration management is a promising step towards fairer and smarter policies.
Moving forward, how can we ensure the empowerment and meaningful participation of migrants are central to implementation efforts?

NEWS — In just months, the U.S. received over 1.5 million requests for a migrant sponsorship program, an extraordinary number that could jeopardize the Biden administration's objective of reducing border crossings, internal documents obtained by CBS show.

Chilling details emerge from #Myanmar #Sittwe town where thousands of #Rohingya Muslims live in prison-like camps. I spoke to victims of #CycloneMocha who are still counting the dead. Many are surviving by cooking dead cattle meat as aid is yet to arrive. thenationalnews.com/world/as…

"There is no question on Earth as powerful as land: who owns it; how it is used; and whether it is treated as a commodity, as a living relative, as an ally in the climate fight, an extractive resource, as a home, or as a territory"

A hilarious explainer for why carbon offsets are, in fact, a ridiculous form of greenwashing.

On April 13th I got an email from a stranger, @FayadMulla
He was on Lesbos & had footage from 2 days prior showing migrants getting rounded up on land & ditched in the Aegean by the coast guard
Did I want to see it?
If you think the answer was an easy "yes," you're wrong.

It is exciting (and a little unnerving) to hold a physical copy of my latest book! Terrified to open it in case I spot a mistake…!! But seriously, I am thrilled. And even more exciting is - it is open access thanks to Routledge and Knowledge Unlatched!

I spoke to @nytimes about danger in Mexico:
“The abuse by state officials themselves is systemic...We heard hundreds of stories from people who experience harm directly at the hands of these state officers, including kidnappings, rape...extortion.”

From 1990–2019, research on Africa received only 3.8% of climate-related research funding globally.
Of this 3.8% funding for climate research on Africa, 78% went to EU and North American institutions, while African institutions received only 14.5%.
