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.
#FossilFuels contain carbon stored deep within Earth’s history & burning them releases gases that intensify the #GreenhouseEffect. Reducing our dependence on these fuels and transitioning to #RenewableEnergy is essential for stabilising global temperatures & safeguarding the future.
The plastic pollution crisis is threatening our health and our planet.
As leaders meet in Nairobi for #UNEA, let’s remind them: there’s no planetary resilience without tackling plastic pollution.
We need a global instrument to regulate plastics that truly protects people and the planet.

Crisis denial shifts climate responsibility to the future, claiming action is only possible once we achieve greater wealth. In reality, delaying action makes solutions harder and more expensive. Climate justice demands we move now, not someday.
Pollution is an invisible crisis: stealing our health, damaging our soils, and poisoning our waters. This #NationalPollutionControlDay, let’s bring visibility to this silent threat.
Political climate denial isn’t just about rejecting science, it’s about refusing responsibility. For years, leaders have downplayed the crisis while being quick to blame others for its consequences. This refusal to own the problem has stalled action and shifted the burden onto communities already facing the impacts. When no one in power steps up, the crisis deepens. Political climate denial is ultimately a failure of accountability: no one wants to take responsibility, but everyone is happy to point fingers.
Economic denial is one of the most persistent forms of climate denial today. It doesn’t dispute that climate change is happening, instead, it argues that solutions are too expensive or harmful to growth. In reality, the costs of inaction, from disasters, health impacts, and lost productivity, far exceed the investments needed for just transitions. Acting on climate isn’t an expense; it’s an opportunity to build a fairer, more resilient economy.
In this series, we unpack climate change — the science, the impacts, and the challenges. This week, we begin with climate denial, a real barrier to climate action. When scientists publish studies, it is the responsibility of other experts to evaluate their validity. Yet among climate deniers, even well-established and rigorously validated facts are often twisted, dismissed, or attacked with conspiracy claims, spreading misinformation that downplays the science itself. Don’t be a climate denier, be a climate warrior.
From local communities to global networks, partnerships drive progress. When governments, NGOs, businesses, and citizens work together, change becomes stronger and more lasting. Collaboration is key to achieving every SDG.
