Social justice grows when inclusion is strengthened. This #WorldDayOfSocialJustice, the focus is on empowering people and bridging gaps in access, opportunity, and participation. Inclusive systems help ensure that everyone can live with dignity, benefit from development, and contribute to society. Building a fairer future begins by leaving no one behind. #EmpoweringInclusion #BridgingGaps #InclusiveSocieties #EquityForAll #SocialJustice
Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that trap heat from the sun. This natural “greenhouse effect” keeps Earth warm enough for life.
The problem begins when human activities — like burning coal, oil, and gas, cutting forests, and running industries — add too much of these gases, especially carbon dioxide and methane. The heat-trapping blanket gets thicker, so more warmth stays on the planet instead of escaping into space.
The result? Rising temperatures, changing rainfall, stronger storms, stressed ecosystems, and growing risks to food, water, health, and cities.
As temperatures rise, people and ecosystems must adjust to new conditions, from changing crops to storing food differently. #Adaptation helps us cope with impacts, while #mitigation reduces emissions to prevent future warming. Both are essential to living with #ClimateChange

#ClimateChange is increasing #floods, #heatwaves, and extreme weather, putting people’s homes, safety, and livelihoods at risk. While some can adapt and stay safe, vulnerable communities often face the greatest impacts, showing how climate change affects all living beings unequally.

Rising seas may seem distant, but #GlobalWarming heats oceans and melts ice, pushing water levels higher. As coasts flood and habitats disappear, recognising how warming drives #SeaLevelRise is essential for protecting communities and planning for a changing climate.

Electricity is often seen as clean at the switch, but generating power from coal involves mining and burning fossil fuels that release greenhouse gases. Recognising where our power comes from is essential for cutting emissions and choosing cleaner, greener #RenewableEnergy.
#Deforestation and resource extraction are often viewed as necessary for development, but strong scientific evidence shows these human activities release greenhouse gases and disrupt ecosystems. Recognising this impact is essential for reducing emissions and protecting the Earth.
Some say #GlobalWarming is overstated and wrongly linked to natural disasters, but strong scientific evidence shows it is real, driven by human activity, and intensifying extreme weather. Accepting this reality is essential for protecting communities and building resilience.
Human rights cover our everyday essentials: the right to breathe clean air, access safe water, live with dignity, and have a voice in the decisions that shape our lives. This #HumanRightsDay, let’s recognise that protecting the planet, ensuring justice, and upholding accountability are all part of protecting human rights.
