125 days into 2024, and we have already reached the EU's #OvershootDay. 🌍The EU accounts for only 7% of the world's population, but we would need 3 planets to satisfy our demand if everyone on Earth lived like Europeans. Trócaire, along with 328 other civil society organisations urge EU leaders to tackle the nature, climate and pollution crises following the upcoming EU elections.

"Stay connected, make it personal, hurry towards a better world but don’t forget to laugh on the way." What a privilege it has been to listen to Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights at the latest Women in Infrastructure (WIN) Event on ‘Climate Justice: that time is now’. Some of the points raised throughout the discussion highlighted the need for feminist solutions to men-made problems and how we can learn a lot from women-led movements, which are typically non-hierarchical, problem-solving, and #inclusive. To tackle #climatechange in a timely manner, we need #internationalcollaboration, developing global solutions applied nationally, and fostering connections and green practices at all levels. By making this crisis "personal", we are actively imagining and hurrying towards the version of the world we want to live in.  A massive shout-out to WIN for organising this inspirational event and to KPMG Ireland and RWE for the sponsorship.

Last week in #Brussels, I participated in the wonderful Child Friendly Justice European Network (CFJ-EN) conference where #children #climate activists were the lead panelists and asked the most salient questions about how the United Nations , European Commission and Council of Europe can better protect #HumanRights in the context of #CliamteChange, notably by recognising children's and young people's #leadership and supporting their #agency in co-developing climate solutions. Key reflections on: ❗ the need to create #safe and generative spaces for #intergenerational #dialogue with clear impacts on climate-related decision-making, which entails: - enhancing the capacity of adults to respect children's #CRC human right to be #heard - respecting children's #CRC right to express their views through #art #play and other forms they prefer ❗ the effective protection of #child environmental human rights #defenders from criminalisation, abuse of police power, harassment, and reprisals in schools for exercising their human right to freedom of expression ❗ the need to ensure a #fair allocation of #burdens in #climateaction, with adults (including the #research community) to shoulder the responsibility to #transform decision-making processes & climate solutions during the #present decade

AMAZON , Don’t destroy AMAZON Our forests are disappearing at an alarming rate. Over the past few decades, we've witnessed the devastating impact of deforestation, with millions of acres of lush, vibrant ecosystems being cleared for various purposes. This alarming trend not only destroys the natural habitats of countless species but also contributes to climate change, soil erosion, and the disruption of vital water cycles. It's time we take action to protect and restore our precious forests and oceans and finally Earth before it's too late. NATO or other Organizations are also responsible for protecting our forests and oceans and all humanity with peace . They should respect to all thoughts without considering racism and finally developing to keep our planet Earth . We have no other place to live as alternative except Earth . Let’s young leaders control future of our planet. NATO and Organization are responsible to bring peace not to manufacturing war guns and tools . We are all in one ship . Please don’t make hole our ship .
