Reality of #ClimateCrisis for a grandma in Malawi - Gladys Khumbidzi first moved due to repeated floods. Then the water supply began drying up at her new home so she moved again. Now she is struggling to feed herself & her family as flooding one yr & drought the next means she cant grow enough food

Balancing planet over profits without a binding legal instrument is too hard since plastic recycling is too expensive than processing virgin plastics.

For decades, TotalEnergies has profited from Africa’s resources while communities pay the price: pollution, displacement, and lost livelihoods.😠

On Aug 22, we’re putting them on trial in the Kick Total Out of Africa #PeoplesTribunal.🔔

Hear the evidence.

An unlivable Africa? Not on our watch!

We refuse to go down with the polluters who have zero regard for human life and nature!

This is why we push so hard against gas expansion in Africa.

The cost of climate denialism is like the cost of climate inaction: impossible to quantify and simply too high to pay.

In a powerful effort to restore our environment, we joined forces with the UTGSU to plant mangroves. Beyond protecting coastlines and nurturing aquatic animals, these remarkable trees are a natural defence against climate change, trapping carbon and building a more resilient ecosystem.

Although we're addicted to fossil fuels,but fossilfuel era must end
We've seen the disastrous impacts of this era outweigning it's benefits
