Nature security assessment on global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security This strategic assessment explores how global biodiversity loss and the collapse of critical ecosystems could affect the UK’s resilience, security and prosperity.

UK intelligence has assed the threats to national security from #biodiversity collapse, it's grim reading and its findings are applicable globally.

The good news is that it recognises that nature is "a foundation of national security": www.gov.uk/government/p... 1/3

AI is increasingly being used to deport migrants, replace workers, predict “crime,” dox activists, and target weapons. Meanwhile, its energy consumption continues to exacerbate the climate crisis. We must fight back. @haymarketbooks.org

The so-called Board of Peace centralizes unchecked power in Trump’s hands, bypasses the UN, and invites billion-dollar buy-ins for permanent seats.

With no grounding in international law, it advances unilateral deals over multilateral norms. This is a threat to global legitimacy buff.ly/49mKgMj

The hidden, and often ignored, cost of war on the planet Learn about the alarming environmental cost of war, with militaries as major contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions.

War devastates lives, displaces communities, and shatters societies.

According to @ceobs.org, global militaries are also responsible for roughly 5.5% of total greenhouse gas emissions, more than the entire aviation and shipping industries combined, deepening the environmental crisis.

Following the US attack on Venezuela, and kidnapping of their head of state, Nicolas Maduro, we have written to the UK government urging them to provide assurance they will condemn this act of imperialistic aggression and work diplomatically to contain further threats of military action by the US.

The British Army is still recruiting 16- and 17-year-olds, exposing them to abuse, harassment, and self-harm.

Today on World Children’s Day, we need to commit to protecting children, not militarising them.
