#MarshallIslands calls for a #FossilFuelTreaty at United Nations #SIDS4 ! 🇲🇭

This Pacific nation, a leader in climate action, echoes the spirit of nuclear non-proliferation by taking on new weapons of mass destruction—fossil fuels.

🧵 Read about the endorsement 👉 FossilFuelTreaty.org/rmi

Momentum grows as country number 13 calls for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative negotiating mandate!

This critical move recognizes that ongoing fossil fuel extraction clashes with the 1.5°C limit, a limit that aims to ease the devastating climate impacts on SIDS.

Rabab Fatima - 71% of #SIDS are at risk of freshwater shortage. The #ABAS plans to transform this. I was pleased to join the Governments of Curaçao 🇨🇼 & the Dominican Republic 📷 to share my thoughts on building the resilience of #SIDS against water challenges.

It isn’t rocket science - when 65% of the world’s coral reefs bleached in 2023/2024, the other 35% didn’t (this time).

It’s hardly a good news story….

#PRIDE Month coming soon! 🏳️‍🌈

42 today. Grateful to be alive, especially when so many have lost their lives. My love to all.

Decolonization is not about regaining a romanticized past. It’s about dismantling structures of domination in the present by any means necessary so that an alternative future is possible.

Founders of Regenerative Agriculture movement-Hans Herren, Andre Leu,Ronnie Cummins & me defined it clearly based on principles of
1 health
2 living ecological systems & cycles
3. relationships that ensure fairness
4. Care for the earth &community
