The #HunSen government was undoubtedly responsible for this enforced disappearance, which is one of the worst and cruelest human rights abuses since family members don’t know what happened to their loved one. Someday a country will arrest this serial killer during his travels.

If you’re serving guacamole this Super Bowl Sunday, you’re likely contributing to an environmental disaster in Mexico. But it doesn’t have to be this way says ⁦The Washington Post⁩ - citing letter from US Senators and ⁦Climate Rights International⁩. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

US-based companies importing avocados from Mexico are turning a blind eye to deforestation, water theft and violence.

🧵1/8 What issue is scandalously omitted from UN Human Rights compliation of @UN documents for #China govt’s Jan 2024 #UPR ? Its own allegation of possible #crimesagainsthumanity targeting #Uyghurs and others. documents-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/…

Very excited that Climate Rights International International’s first report is out today.
Check out the report and video below.

And the New York Times covered it in this long piece. nytimes.com/2023/11/28/us/…

Countries taking part in #COP28 should focus on grave risks that climate change poses to the rights of present and future generations around the world. US, China, other wealthy countries need to be held accountable to pay for adaptation and #LossAndDamage . cri.org/cop28-human-ri…

A welcome headline from #COP28UAE would be that countries have reaffirmed their international legal obligations to protect the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful protest. cri.org/cop28-human-ri…

Important piece by Tony La Viña on the joint letter with Climate Rights International sent to Bongbong Marcos on the risk to #indigenous communities and climate change from the #KaliwaDam . rappler.com/voices/thought… via Rappler

This #givingtuesday , we are raising $25,000 to support our research and advocacy work. We want to build a world that protects people and the planet from #climatechange . Link in bio to donate.

Why are the US, EU and Australia, all of whom say they are committed to fighting global warming, refusing to support a call to #EndFossilFuels when they know this is the key to solving the climate crisis? #COP28 is the time to stand up to #BigOil and put people and planet first.

We must commit to #climateequity

Wealthy countries must greatly increase their adaptation funding so basic rights of those who did not cause the #climatecrisis are respected.

And at #COP28 they must commit to pay for #loss &damage theguardian.com/environment/20…

Oh man, this guy GETS IT. It’s like I always say, “a shitty home is worse than no home at all!”

I’m so happy our esteemed trafficking partner understands why we had to move all the poorest people so far from the city they couldn’t afford to come back! #LOLPoorPeople #Cambodia

Very good and long overdue news that Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Netherlands, UK, Maldives have intervened in the #Rohingya #genocide case filed by The Gambia v Myanmar at the International Court of Justice. Important for CIJ_ICJ to move quickly.

Very sad to see Joko Widodo leaving such a disastrous climate legacy. A green petrochemical refinery? That is an oxymoron. Carbon capture is unproven and just a way for @Exxon to keep pumping oil. Exxon caused the climate crisis but even now appears intent on destroying the planet.

Biden and Jokowi should challenge each other to get serious about cutting emissions. The US and Indonesia are two of the top carbon emitters and neither has a credible plan to get to Net Zero.

“DOE says it is committed to promoting #EnvironmentalJustice in all its activities. And yet, the agency continues to grant export authorizations to methane gas export terminals, explosive carbon bombs, in low-income communities and communities of color”

This is why young Californians under the age of 18 are taking action & filing a new youth-led climate lawsuit ✊If you or someone you know in CA is interested in joining or learning more about this case, visit: bit.ly/CAClimateYouth #YouthvGov

The #TriplePlanetaryCrisis is our generation's defining threat. Fortunately, we have a roadmap to a #SustainableFuture : Human rights.

My call is clear:
-Phase out Fossil Fuels
-Make polluters pay for environmental harms
-Say no to plastic pollution
-Protect biodiversity
#ActNow

Great that Gavin Newsom is in China to discuss the #ClimateEmergency . But silence on rights should not be an option. How can he not raise forced labor in Xinjiang or free speech for environmental defenders?
My new oped for Climate Rights International International.
