🌍 In July, the @CIJ_ICJ ruled: climate inaction isn’t just bad policy, it’s a breach of int'l law. We now have a moral mandate & legal foundation. The question: will leaders act?. For millions, #ClimateJustice isn’t charity. It’s survival. #ICJAO.

🚍 Say NO to old, unfit buses in Bangladesh! They cause accidents, pollution & waste fuel. The demand to extend vehicle lifespan to 3️⃣0️⃣years is unsafe and unacceptable. We need stricter limits, better fitness tests & cleaner, sustainable transport NOW!. #RoadSafety #CleanAir

🌿 In 🇧🇩's Munda villages, Cyclone Aila didn’t just destroy homes, it erased the Karam festival, a heartbeat of their indigenous culture. At #COP30, #ClimateJustice must address non-economic loss & damage, because survival is cultural too. #IndegenousDay.

#INC5_2 is happening now in Geneva. We can’t let fossil fuel & petrochemical industries write the rules. Without production caps, the treaty will fail. 🇧🇩 must stand w/ vulnerable nations to fight for our rivers, health & survival. #PlasticTreaty

Without limits on plastic production, the treaty risks leaving Bangladesh’s rivers choked and communities poisoned.

@pisfcc @EnergywatchBD @NayokaMartinez @SohanYouthNetG @CIJ_ICJ @bdmoefcc @Cambridge_Uni 🧑⚖️ “The #ICJAO gives powerful legal and moral ammunition—reframes climate action as an obligation, strengthens calls for finance, #LossAndDamage, and builds momentum for domestic climate law,” said environmental lawyer M Hafijul Islam Khan at the national dialogue. #HumanRights
