Next week is the 20th anniversary of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. Remember - over 230.000 people died that day.
The anniversary is a chance to reflect on what we have learned in terms of preparedness, vulnerability and extreme rapid-onset events. I collected a few bits to reflect on lessons. 🧵

On peut ne pas renouveler un statut de réfugié, mais on ne peut pas expulser des gens qui sont protégés par ce statut.
Quant au fait que ce soit le premier réflexe de ces gouvernements, je ne ferai pas de commentaire.

Spotted in draft observer policy for the #LossAndDamage Fund shared LESS THAN 24H before the start of the Board meeting...
Observers have to consult their constituencies.
Well, yeah. But instead of telling us how to do our job, perhaps allow us to do it by sharing docs a little more in advance.

What is happening in #Syria must not overshadow what Syrians want.
The political and military landscape is complex, but the demands for safety and freedom are not. We must not let the bullets drown out the voices of Syrians yet again.
I am outraged by the three immigration bills being rushed through Australia's Parliament. Here I explain why womensagenda.com.au/latest/confi...

#COP29 is over. A new #ClimateFinance goal that will do more harm than good was adopted through an unfair process. Other decisions add to the regression on #HumanRights obligations and further undermine climate ambition.
