This highlights the urgent need for targeted adaptation strategies + climate mitigation to protect the vulnerable.

The world might be pulling back on climate truth: but I'm stepping it up.

How? I'm adding new videos, deep dives & behind-the-scenes stories to Talking Climate.

Why? Because climate honesty and hope matter more than ever right now.

Struck by this saying of Goethe: “One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.”

Such an important report, and full of issues that are very concerning from the perspective of health justice - a principle we have been working on and for for many years in the fields of #bioethics and #publichealthethics and #healthjustice.

Klimaschutz: Wie die Regierung den KTF zweckentfremdet Deutschland droht die Klimaziele zu verfehlen. Doch statt mehr Klimaschutz zu machen, will sie aus dem gleichen Topf CO₂-Zertifikate kaufen.

Die SZ berichtet heute über einen klimapolitischen Wahnsinnsmove der Bundesregierung.
Sie will möglich machen, europäische Strafzahlungen wegen zu wenig Klimaschutz aus dem Topf zu bezahlen, der Klimaschutz finanzieren soll.

Wodurch weniger Geld für Klimaschutz da wäre.

So glad to see this published in the latest @thelancet.com Trying to embed planetary care in human health care - making climate action less vulnerable to ideological delusions. Bioethics should be planetary health ethics too!

"There is no excuse for what’s happening in Gaza.

This tragedy must end now, immediately and decisively.

Every political hesitation, every attempt at justification of the horrors being committed under international watch, will forever be judged as a collective failure to preserve humanity in war.”

"There is no excuse for what’s happening in Gaza. This tragedy must end now, immediately and decisively. Every political hesitation, every attempt at justification of the horrors being committed under international watch, will forever be judged as a collective failure to preserve humanity in war.”

Gaza | The scale of human suffering and the stripping of human dignity have long exceeded every acceptable standard, both legal and moral.

This tragedy must end now.
