Europe will arrive in Belém with a strong NDC – just in time, but a clear signal that it remains fully committed to the Paris Agreement. This was a hard-fought outcome, achieved in a difficult political and economic context. 1/4

We @pressfreedom.bsky.social agree. Thank you Jimmy Kimmel.
KIMMEL: “He’s gunning for our journalists too — they want to pick and choose what the news is… it’s so important to have a free press, and it’s nuts we aren’t paying more attention to it.”

I have been a reporter for 25 years. I know the risks reporting in war zones. This is not that situation. This is systematic silencing by Israel.

If we do not act now, there will be no one left in Gaza to tell anyone’s story.
