Yes.
WHO assesses that air pollution kills a person every 5 seconds. The same clean energy that would solve the climate crisis would save millions of lives per year, and €£$ trillions in economic value, locally.
Smart nations are racing for more of it.

Shocker. Tech, mainly built by men, doesn't adequately reflect the experience of women.
This is why diverse user groups are vital, in all projects, in all industries, in all endeavours.
By the way, it’s still happening

Thanks to @sioldridge.bsky.social @nickoldridge.bsky.social & the team for their monumental efforts in pulling together yesterday’s National Emergency Briefing www.nebriefing.org on climate change. Thanks also go to those MPs, journalists & others who attended.

📢 ICYMI: Most eye conditions are NCDs — but eye care is still missing from the global health agenda.
@filawless.bsky.social of Sightsavers makes the case for integrating eye health into #UHC and #NCD action. 👁️

Somewhat sensationalist headline here obscures some really interesting research - which tallies with other available tracking data - on shifting attitudes to climate in the UK.
Below are a few quick thoughts on how to understand this, in my view 👇 t.co/gDqlQgQBHn
We’re excited to share the third issue of our quarterly series, Disability Policy Insights on Budget Analysis!
Whether you’re a policymaker, development professional, researcher, or advocate, this issue provides the tools to track and influence real change.

At least 31 Palestinians killed in Gaza since dawn, medics say - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/least-31-palestinians-killed-gaza-dawn-medics-say
"People are dying. The pictures are horrific. This is not a surprise."
Our CEO Moazzam Malik spoke to @yaldahakim.bsky.social at @news.sky.com about the deadly militarised aid distribution system in Gaza and how the UK Government has become an ally to Israel's atrocities.
Watch: bit.ly/4fauZEO
Protesters in Tel Aviv took to the streets carrying flour bags and pictures of malnourished children from Gaza, calling for the end of the war on Gaza and the hunger.

It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.
🌍 The climate crisis is a #HumanRights emergency, destroying homes, livelihoods, and cultures.
On July 23, the International Court of Justice #ICJ will issue its advisory opinion on #ClimateChange.
This moment could embed human rights into global #ClimateLaw and hold polluters accountable.

At least four linguistic tricks going on here:
1) foregrounding with Iran war which the BBC depicts as just
2) passive voice 'have been killed' - by who, may we ask?
3) 'Hamas-run health ministry' - casting doubt/diverting sympathy
4) 'under review' - casting further doubt
I don't get very far through most doctoral advice because it usually starts with something like 'remember to not work weekends and evenings...' by contrast this is really well tailored and useful (watched, in classic part-time fashion, in a Eurostar passport queue)
At the same time when ODA levels to education have decreased and we're seeing additional cuts to education by large donors - UK and US. We also need more action on tax justice and debt relief for domestic countries to finance education and finance it sustainably.
Can be based in Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya, the UK or Ireland. Deadline to apply is the 9th of June.
I am recruiting for a policy officer to come and work in the brilliant and lovely Sightsavers policy team - an interesting and varied role supporting our influencing on inclusive education at the global and national level careers.sightsavers.org/jobs/1526?la....
I probably don't actually recommend it as the perfect running companion - but it's one way of fitting books in!
Finally finished listening to The Hundred Years' War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi on my run this morning - highly recommend uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-...
135 Palestinians killed in Gaza so far today. Massacre after massacre, day after day. The world does nothing.
Exciting news - our blog on #ClimateChange and #DisabilityJustice has just been shared on the Sensing Climate website sensing-climate.com/news/climate...
Brilliant to see the #PandemicAccord officially adopted after years of negotiations - and with the references we've advocated for on human rights, the definition of people in vulnerable situations, and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
One of the most intense pieces of reporting I've done, on the Global Disability Summit 2025.
The promises, the corridor talk, the protests. The excessive control of governments, and who was left off the agenda. And what we need to do now.

"We need to face a simple truth: migration is a fact of life – not a problem. People are undocumented because governments make them that way. They can unmake it, too."
