It was fantastic being in Freetown for the launch of the city’s pioneering heat action plan and seeing parts of it already at work - from Congo market to Ojuku’s mangroves - alongside Yvonne Ali-Sawyerr and Eugenia Kargbo @kbmcleod.bsky.social #Africa #extremeheat #women

The G20 has removed language calling for the "transition away from fossil fuels," agreed on at COP28, from its leaders' statement in Rio. You can call this backsliding, or you can call it murderous indifference. Really, up to you. www.ft.com/content/8352...

I spent days digging into the public statements of every single Trump Cabinet pick to see what they've said about climate change and it was a horrible process but I did it because Journalism Is Important and climate change is actually real so please click it I beg you heated.world/p/trumps-ent...
