How climate change could spread malaria And how scientists are scrambling to stop it

“By 2050 1.3bn Africans will live in areas where, due to climate change, the disease will be harder to eradicate than it is today, predicts the Malaria Atlas Project (MAP), an NGO.”

“Anti-colonial feminist organising and world-building bring to the fore the interrogation of the continued impact of colonialism, slavery and capitalism on Africa and Africans in present times despite living in what has come to be accepted as the post-colonial era”.

UN plastic pollution talks must result in ambitious treaty, leading expert says Professor Richard Thompson, a marine litter expert, says delegates must act decisively to ‘look next generation in the eye’ Delegates at the UN plastic pollution treaty talks in Geneva must secure an ambitious global agreement so they can look future generations in the eye, one of the world’s leading marine litter experts has said. Prof Richard Thompson, who was named one of Time’s 100 most influential people this year for his groundbreaking work on plastic pollution, said decisive action was needed to protect human health and the planet.

UN plastic pollution talks must result in ambitious treaty, leading expert says

Let’s fight for a climate future where everybody has control over their body, identity, and choices.
Because justice begins with autonomy. 💜

#ClimateJusticeIsReproductiveJustice
#BodilyAutonomyNow
#QueerClimateResilience
#SRHRForAll

🌀 Whether it’s extreme weather, food insecurity, or displacement, people thrive when they have the rights, resources, and recognition to act as full members of their communities.

When we talk about climate justice, we must also talk about bodily autonomy.

Because the ability to make free, informed, and dignified choices about our bodies, from accessing healthcare and contraception to expressing our sexuality, is a foundation for resilience in the face of climate shocks.

Let’s reject population control narratives and instead fight for a world where people have full control over their bodies and lives and where the climate crisis is tackled by holding extractive, exploitative systems accountable.

✊🏾 Justice for people. Justice for the planet.

#ClimateJustice

People have the right to access contraception, abortion, and comprehensive reproductive care because it is their right, not because it serves someone else’s climate agenda.

Climate justice must never come at the expense of bodily autonomy or reproductive justice.

✅ The truth is:

SRHR (Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights) is about dignity, autonomy, and justice. It must be approached through a human-rights, feminist, and anti-colonial lens.

💮Ignores the real culprits: unsustainable capitalist systems, fossil fuel corporations, militarism, and overconsumption by the wealthiest nations and elites.

🌸Places the blame for the climate crisis on the bodies of those who can become pregnant, especially poor, Black, Indigenous, and racialised communities.

💥 But here's the truth:
🚫 This narrative is harmful because it:

🌸Instrumentalises contraceptives not as tools for choice, but as tools for control.

The population narrative falsely argues that the climate crisis is primarily driven by population growth, especially in the Global South, & implies that controlling the number of people (often through contraception) is a solution to climate change.

We unpacked how the climate crisis intersects with our bodies, identities and rights; from disrupted access to healthcare, to the violence of invisibility in disaster response. We held space for truth, for learning and for radical dreaming!

#QueerClimateJustice #SRHRForAll

Yesterday we hosted a session on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and Climate Crisis, centering women in all their diversity and non-binary individuals in Mombasa!

Experiencing extreme weather and disasters is not enough to change views on climate action, study shows A 70,000-person global study found understanding how events such as fires and floods are linked to climate change may be a key driver of support for climate action.

"...climate impacts alone may not change minds. However, it also highlights what may affect public thinking: helping people recognise the link between climate change and extreme weather events."

Why there can be no climate justice without queer justice. Explained in 6 blogs - Greenpeace International At heart, the LGBTQIA2S+ movement and the environmental movement are involved in the same struggle to upend unjust power relations and secure the dignity and equality of every individual.

Zahra Hiddou from ActionAid UK speaks on "Financing women-led solutions to climate change and humanitarian emergencies"

🌍 There's no climate action without funding, especially for #LossAndDamage, & without #GenderJustice.

The EU must act now: funding real solutions, prioritizing affected communities, & empowering women on the frontlines.

Let this pride month remind us of who we are! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💪🏾

We have survived before. We are still here. And we will keep rising!
