Ominous words: “…the climate crisis feeds the water and food crises, while each contributes to further destabilizing global peace and security.”

This is reality and even with the enormous and ever worsening other crises, the climate crisis will be with us after the others are gone.

And indeed we need far more credible media sources like The Guardian to bring factual, unbiased, unpartisan news we can rely on, just as you do with The Planet newsletter.

Thank you.

"One of these aims to target the points at which food insecurity, climate, and conflict meet. This can be done by creating partnerships, policies, and programs that address these issues together, for example, by considering climate risk and food security in peacebuilding or investing in adaptation programs that support communities in managing shared resources."

When we as individuals feel helpless, this is a way we can help. Contribute to those agencies doing the difficult work. Thank you, Alexander 🌻

Thank you for giving climate the attention it requires as it is rare indeed in these very troubled times in the USA 🇺🇸 as we struggle to shake off the dictator Putin’s involvement in our affairs by Proxy with idiots like Trump and former media personalities like Tucker Carlson. Our news this week has finally been out-trumped by the assassination of ALEXEI NAVALNY demonstrating clearly what will happen to our young nation should the narcissistic sociopath regain power in election 2024 should we even get to that point with Russian nuclear satellites 📡 capable of deploying a surge of electromagnetic power that could take down our entire infrastructure during the election or before. 💔💔💔

"Conflict can easily be sparked where tensions are high, institutions are weak, and people are marginalized." 🤯 Which works supremely well for imperialist, hawkish governments that thrive on war, and provides an excuse not to "deal with" climate chaos. It's beyond maddening.
