This #EarthDay , let's talk about the elephant in the room: war is a major threat to our planet! If war spending was a country, it'd be the 4th WORST polluter!

Time to stop ignoring the #war machine's impact on our planet! buff.ly/3JvBsLo

In 2023 #MilitarySpending increased in all five geographical regions for the first time since 2009.

Another win!

Although young people have contributed the least to climate change, they are disproportionately affected. 🌏

Their advocacy to accelerate the green transition serves as a model for us all. ✊

Couldn’t imagine a more fitting read as I head to NPA Mine Action and Disarmament and ICRC Brussels’s #NukeEXPO . I’ll join IPPNW’s stalls to share information on the dire humanitarian impacts of nuclear weapons and the lack of medical response possible following *any* use of nuclear weapons
