Important, but probably under most people's radar:
The Inter American Court of Human Rights has issued an advisory opinion on care work, both paid and unpaid (currently only available in Spanish).
@minmaxsunt.bsky.social - this will be of interest to you, I think.

I imagine there's a great number of researchers well suited to this "strategic advisor" role at the ARC ▶️ www.apsjobs.gov.au/s/job-detail...

(I'm not generally going to do ARC's advertising for them, but for some reason they think their target audience is still on twitter. Erm, 2 likes🫠)

Countries must protect human right to a stable climate, court rules

Costa Rica-based inter-American court of human rights says states have obligation to respond to climate change There is a human right to a stable climate and states have a duty to protect it, a top court has ruled.
