So good to see 1000s of people marching outside #COP30 in 🇧🇷 Brazil, calling for urgent action on climate crisis & human rights.

It was also the 1st time since 2021 that protestors have been allowed to demonstrate during UN climate summit.

It is Intl Lead Poisoning Prevention Week. Lead is highly toxic, yet millions are exposed to it.

One of the most lead-polluted places globally is the city of Kabwe in Zambia. Together w/ the Alliance for #LeadFreeKabwe, we say: only a full cleanup can protect people's rights.

New changes to EU law will undermine corporate accountability. 72% of companies could be excluded from addressing human rights and environmental harm through their supply chains.

📢Lawmakers should spare no effort in the next phase of negotiation to strengthen the law.
