Today marks 75 years since the Refugee Convention was signed. From the devastation of the Second World War, it established a vital principle - people fleeing persecution have the right to seek safety. 75 years on, that promise matters as much as ever.

Are we willing to invest just five cents per person per year to maintain one of the world’s most important climate monitoring systems? That provides crucial information about a potentially existential risk for Europe?

The actions of one person must never be used to stigmatise an entire community. Collective blame only creates further division harm. We stand with Belfast City of Sanctuary in condemning all violence, racism, hatred and attempts to exploit tragic events to spread fear and division.

This is must-view for anyone in the UK. Take aways: 1) AMOC shutdown has gone from low likelihood/high impact event to likely, possibly even very likely event 2) Subpolar gyre change could affect UK by late 2030s/2040s 3) How to stop it? Radical lowering of emissions in next 2 decades

"81. A litmus test for social justice today is the treatment of migrants, refugees and those forced to move due to poverty, violence, climate change and environmental disasters. The way a society treats them reveals whether its sense of justice is driven by fear or by the spirit of fraternity."
