Sad to hear the passing of Saleemul Huq
@SaleemulHuq
You don't realise how much Saleemul did for those most impacted by climate change & nature loss.
He attended every Cop meeting, he was the first on site & last to leave.
Stood his ground, never gave up. A true unsung hero
It is with heavy hearts that we inform you about the passing away of our director, Prof. Saleemul Huq, on 29 October, 2023.
His unmatched legacy will remain as a shining example for years and generations to come.

This is vital intervention,
Terrorism is done by lone wolves or militia, where war is declaration by nation states. Some scholars will debate the correlation.
A majority of Palestine people are not neither, so any forms of collective punishment or war against them is a crime.
The shortcomings of Israel’s strategy in response to Hamas’ brutality are increasingly hard to ignore. With his trip to Israel and supportive speech last night, Biden now must push Israel to change course and commit to deeper diplomatic engagement. My take

Congress is the people’s parliament & it has seen many such protests, it’s alarming to see security breakdown & the reckless behaviour of a few seek to try to dismantle democratic process
The president should not be inciting such behaviour, his job is to bring unity to a nation.
Let me be very clear: the scenes of chaos at the Capitol do not represent who we are. What we are seeing is a small number of extremists dedicated to lawlessness. This is not dissent, it's disorder. It borders on sedition, and it must end. Now.

Ceasefire agreements are designed to provide breathing spaces-
In this space de-escalation measures are vital, every action needs to be monitored & actions verified to the agreement.
This has to be the time for increased life saving aid & service distribution to meet all needs.

You’ve never seen the fire burning inside of you for centuries, the grand total of all that is. I know it’s intense that in a moment it can change the world.
But this light is yours to hold up, in all that you are, in the places you’ve been and all that you will be, you’ll see.

No country on Earth has put women equitably & equally in line with men.

One area you must grasp is the the pace of market innovation. You might of come across the S innovation curve—We need to get from initial phases to accelerated phases towards what we call the empowerment stage.
One factor is getting nations to measures of increasing returns...
Add here, others keep telling you -time to build up a digital technological bill of rights, a new deal to both spur & protect the new economies
The new world is one of wider protection from shocks & locking equal gains for all nations from mitigating & building resilience today.

You know a lot of policy decision is bottom up not top down
Leaders respond to how effective policy is coordinated & sourced from below, if synergism & sources are pulled well so is the measure in which a decision is enacted
So it's how well the exposure & how exposed the idea.

Before Desmond Tutu passed he said "we are entering a global adaptation apartheid".
Countries most impacted by temperature & nature degradation are usually the most unequipped to deal with shocks & changes to cycles.
Ripples are more costly & resilience to risk unrequited.

The world needs to watch closely, how countries like Japan will innovate to an ageing population & learn?
Our population is now 8 billion strong- Japanese culture is a great model for a hierarchic society based on mutual respect.
Even have a respect language ethos called- Keigo
Japan confronts a stark reality: a nation of old people. Nearly every aspect of the country's life is changing to adapt to the growing elderly population, from its public spaces to its social polices.

Anne Baring said,
‘The passionate longing of the human heart has always been to press beyond the boundaries of the known, to break through the limitations of our understanding, to extend the horizon of awareness.
This is perhaps our most fundamental & essential freedom’.

There has to be a clear distinction between civilians & Hamas. Hamas does not speak for Gaza, that needs to be fundamentally clear.
The lack of civil actors in this peace process is problematic & many civilians need a greater voice at the table.
Their concerns are paramount.
A senior Israeli official said the round of hostage negotiations in Cairo ended and the Israeli delegation is going back to Israel. According to the Israeli official, earlier today the members of the delegation submitted Israel's reservations regarding Hamas' response to the

You might of heard of biophilia which is the innate tendency to focus on life & lifelike processes eg the Bullet Train mimics a kingfisher’s beak that can move through air/water quickly.
3.8 billion years of evolution has given us innovative patterns.
King of Fishers. This is a male bird, the females have a orange lower mandible. Did you know: engineers working on Japan’s high-speed bullet train copied the shape of a Kingfisher's beak to prevent sonic boom when they enter tunnels.

The UN has to stay impartial for many reasons, but many groups campaign on issues from women's rights & climate change etc

Good to see the
#nuclearban
movement growing.
The need to threaten as a deterrent, is less of a position in use, more of a failure of fear to geopolitically agree.
For its better for a sound minded person to limit such use to someone who might come after who might not.
Thank you, Cambodia🇰🇭! During a special event marking the
#nuclearban
treaty’s entry into force today, Cambodia just showed what leadership for a nuclear-weapons free world looks like by becoming the 52nd state party to the treaty!🎉

We saw murphy's laws
It goes all wrong.
We were at Acton's dictum
Power corrupts.
We need Archimedes lever
Let me stand (And)
I will move Earth.
We saw our neighbours eyes in Thomases goodbye's.
We lost the grasp that lifted
We lifted up what needed a grasp.
Between the ruins of Khan Yunis, life continues...
