Here’s part of what made #PHAM2024 so meaningful to me: Owen Pinnell was in KL discussing his incredible ‘Under Poisoned Skies’ documentary on gas flares - interpreted here by the amazing Ham & Rojo - while my dad is on the ground working to reduce their #planetaryhealth impacts

A reason for hope.

For the 1st time ever bp faces legal action over its toxic flaring practices.

Iraqi father Hussein Julood is seeking justice for the death of his 21-year old son Ali who starred in our documentary 'Under Poisoned Skies'.

Never imagined our investigation would lead us here

The 1st time anyone has started legal action against a major oil firm over its flaring practices

Proud of everyone who worked so hard to get us here especially Ali's father channeling his grief into this landmark battle

Following an amazing investigation by colleagues Jess Kelly Owen Pinnell Rosie Garthwaite and others at BBC News عربي into gas flaring in Iraq, we heard today that Ali's father is seeking compensation over the loss of his dear son

The fight against avoidable types of pollution and climate change that is having a deadly impact on children living on or even pretty darn far from oil fields continues.

⬇️ In #Iraq , a bp gas flaring site kills Iraqis. “The environment is polluted in a way you cannot breathe,” Mr Julood told Owen Pinnell BBC News (UK). There have been four or five deaths locally from cancer since Ali died, including a young boy last month. bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

In many corners of the world, children carry their parents' legacies, but in the shadow of fossil fuel giants, a father carries his son's. The weight of loss from air pollution is a burden no parent should bear. It's time we unite to fight for justice against these injustices.…

At #PHAM2024 we had Owen Pinnell sharing parts of the film & breaking the sad news of his death. Deepest condolences to his family and following this closely. #climatejustice
