🚨 New from @desmog: Extreme Weather Events are the New Frontline of Online Climate Denial.
Social media posts by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones received 408 million views – more than emergency services and mainstream media combined.

Highly recommend this new report by @moreincommonuk.bsky.social to see what drives political opinions & polarisation.

And also I feel totally called out by the activist segment aka deepdive into my soul 👇

UNRWA has food for the entire population for over three months — stockpiled and ready also in Al Arish, Egypt.

The supplies are available. The systems are in place.

Open the gates. Let UNRWA deliver.

A Rough Idea: Rest is not resistance (on its own). But you should still take a summer break. Taking a break doesn't need justification.

🌱 Rest is not (always) resistance.

Seville showed that considerable challenges remain to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals. But it also paved the way for governments to build more coalitions to tax the super-rich and finance care, and put equality, democracy and sustainability at the core of their efforts. Quote by Hernan Saenz, FFD Global Lead of Oxfam.

REACTION: The #FFD4 showed the challenges remaining to meet the Sustainable Development Goals - but also the power of international cooperation.

In a tense geopolitical environment, Spain, Brazil and South Africa have taken an important step in forging an alliance here at the UN conference in Sevilla to show political will for taxation of the super-rich. Now other countries must follow their lead and join forces.

REACTION: Oxfam welcomes Brazil, Spain and South Africa’s new coalition to tax the super-rich, launched today at #FFD4.

Tackling extreme inequality is vital to fund development goals.

Now other countries must follow their lead.

It’s time to start taxing the super-rich to finance development | Context by TRF Inequality has reached obscene levels, but a major financing for development conference (FFD4) provides a chance for governments to change tack

"The world doesn’t need more billionaires - it needs governments with the courage to stand up for ordinary people, to invest in public services, and to create a system that benefits all."

Negotiating in temperatures of 42 degrees and still world leaders favour corporate profit over fulfilling their pledges in development finance & climate resilience.

Rich countries have put Wall Street in the driver's seat of global development. It’s a global private finance takeover which has overrun the evidence-backed ways to tackle poverty through public investments and fair taxation. Quote by Amitabh Behar, Executive Director of Oxfam International.

PRESS RELEASE: New wealth of top 1% surges by over $33.9 trillion since 2015 – enough to end poverty 22 times over.

New Oxfam research shows global development “abysmally off track” ahead of #FFD4.

Quote by Amitabh Behar, Oxfam International Executive Director: Corporations continue to cash in on climate devastation, and their profiteering destroys the lives and livelihoods of millions of women, men and children, predominantly those in the Global South who have done the least to cause the climate crisis. Governments must listen to their people and hold rich polluters responsible for their damages.

PRESS RELEASE: 8 out of 10 people support taxing oil and gas corporations to pay for climate damages, global survey by @greenpeace.org and @oxfaminternational.bsky.social finds.

Study launched today as governments meet for #JuneClimateMeetings #SB62.

Slightly too unfiltered thoughts from a very frantic work month 👀

thegreenfix.substack.com/p/working-in...

Quote by Amitabh Behar, Executive Director of Oxfam International: Rich countries missed a chance to make a real difference in the fight against global poverty and inequality. They could have helped to end the debt crisis that is impacting over three billion people in the Global South, mainly women and girls. This was a key demand of developing countries, many of whom are spending more repaying debt than they can on public education and healthcare.

REACTION: Financing for Development Conference outcome document a missed opportunity in fight against global poverty and inequality.

Oxfam is going to #FFD4 in Sevilla to urge governments to take more ambitious commitments to end the debt crisis.

👉 oxf.am/ffd-outcome

Global North governments are attempting to sabotage sovereign debt reform at #FFD4.

We urge the negotiators of #G77 governments to stand united and fight for a just outcome document that includes strong language for debt justice.

#FFD4People

Four climate activists from the frontlines of the crisis, remind us why we must call for rich polluters to be held accountable!

Demand climate justice. #MakeRichPollutersPay to help tackle the climate crisis and build a fairer future.
