IPCC-65 suspended: no agreement on AR7 timeline or 2027 budget.
DCJ calls for timely, inclusive climate science and meaningful participation by developing countries.
Climate action cannot wait. Equity and historical responsibility remain central.

Ahead of #COP31, developing countries at the IPCC fear that rushed assessments risk excluding Global South research.
The 43% emissions-cut benchmark for 2030 illustrates how global figures can obscure unequal burdens and equity concerns.

Who shapes climate science and whose voices count? Equity must guide @IPCC_CH assessments both in participation and in the assumptions shaping climate pathways. Meena Raman @3rdworldnetwork and Dr Leon Sealey-Huggins @WarOnWant, from DCJ member orgs write:

Developed countries have failed to meet their biodiversity finance obligations.
But that’s no excuse to turn to the private sector & market approaches, warns Lim Li Ching of @3rdworldnetwork in an interview with @CarbonBrief ahead of #COP17.

🚨The @FT reports patient data from GP surgeries is quietly being added to US-spy tech Palantir's NHS platform.
GP surgeries can stop this. Registered with a GP in England? Write to yours: justtreatment.org/gp-letter
Third World Network retweeted
TODAY: Patients, NHS workers and campaigners across England are taking action against US spy-tech company Palantir.
We're calling on every NHS trust and ICB to reject Palantir's technology, and on the government to use the break clause and end the contract.
AI to emit 6 times more CO₂ in 2030, @greenit study estimates.
Greenhouse gas emissions from AI could reach worrying levels by 2030. This is in addition to damage caused to aquatic environments and fine particle pollution.

✊ TWN also stands with Thai civil society against the Thailand-EU trade agreement.
The deal could delay generic competition by up to 11 years & add US$23.2 billion to Thailand’s pharmaceutical spending (Thailand's FDA & National Health Commission Office).
Pharma companies already get a 20-year patent monopoly.
In the Thailand-EU FTA, the EU wants more: supplementary protection certificates that extend monopolies, keep prices high, and delay affordable generics.
