Fantastic to see a full house at the #AAC2022 “Indigenous Voices in Development” session.

After two weeks, #COP27 concluded without making significant progress and with trust in the process undermined ✍️ WWF's @manupulgarvidal writes that this summit was a squandered opportunity COP28 must now be a COP that restores credibility https://t.co/2ZaS2ddqkj

A critical read ahead of COP27.

This is my ELEVENTH @ACFID annual conference. It’s always been a highlight of my year, but it’s especially exciting to see such a strong focus on the development-environment nexus. The theme “Healthy Planet, Healthy Communities” couldn’t be more relevant, or more urgent

The primary difference between the 2010 and 2022 floods is the intensity and geographical scope of the monsoons in 2022 which severely affected Balochistan and Sindh. Both provinces received nearly 5 times the average rainfall resulting in massive in-land flooding.

Landing tomorrow.

Let's be clear: the Pakistani people did not do this to Pakistan –– we all did, and the high-emitting nations are most responsible. Unless we end our species' addiction to fossil fuels, every country in the world will remain in the crosshairs of the climate breakdown.

Drought. Heat Waves. Floods. This year #Pakistan has seen it all. Pakistan ranks eighth on Climate Risk Index. Over 30 million people are now affected by severe #floods. @ifrc and @PRC_official are providing relief assistance. https://t.co/v6NHduhQpC

We are launching our emergency appeal today for Pakistan. @ifrc will seek 12 million CHF to support @PRC_official to deliver shelter, cash and medicines to victims of the floods. Our teams are already on the ground delivering pre-positioned stocks and medical care.

Our hearts goes out to the families and communities affected by the devastating #floods in different areas of #Pakistan.  @WWFPak is actively making efforts to help communities in the flood-affected areas by providing them with the necessary aid and support.

Supporting Indigenous knowledge and cultural authority is key to effective nature-based solutions. This #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we're celebrating the vital work of Indigenous organisations like Girringun Aboriginal Corporation

Today’s speech from #Garma by @AlboMP marks a momentous occasion in our nation’s history. The draft referendum question & amendment is the culmination of comprehensive work led by the @ILC_UNSW & Uluru Dialogue since the #UluruStatement was first issued #auspol

“The @UN General Assembly’s universal recognition of the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment is a crucial step forward towards delivering on the promise of the SDGs and creating an equitable, carbon neutral, and nature-positive world.” — @WWF_DG of @WWF

The UN General Assembly has recognized the human right to a clean healthy and sustainable environment by an overwhelming vote of 161-0 with just eight abstentions. A truly historic moment.

Read @CRbyNature’s recently released paper on #naturebasedsolutions in the #Pacific

The state of the environment report shows the list of threatened species growing as ecosystems deteriorate. The report found there was not enough funding dedicated to the environment and a lack of coordination to properly address the threats. More here: https://t.co/W9vuCymfEQ

Fantastic to be working with @SaveAusNews @WorldVisionAus @kyeemadawn @CaritasAust @ActionAid_aus on these exciting projects via @CRbyNature

Pacific Islands nations like Vanuatu are least responsible for climate change but are bearing its brunt. Extreme weather events are occurring with increasing frequency and ferocity. Thanks to @GinnyStein for putting this together. #earthday2022

Early data from Tonga's violent volcanic eruption suggests it is the biggest blast since Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines 30 years ago, volcanologist Shane Cronin says. https://t.co/cm34YGOEb0
