Today's ICJ ruling is truly historic. For many years, legal scholars and NGOs have accused Israel of the crime of apartheid. People were attacked for saying this and even cancelled. Today the accusation comes from the international court itself: Israel is an apartheid regime.

Climate change is not just a change in the weather. It is changing life on our planet. It is killing people and devastating communities. To limit global temperature rise, we must phase out coal, oil & gas in a fair & equitable way – and massively boost renewables. #UNGA

At #UNGA, I called on Ghanaian Reggae artiste Rocky Dawuni's music and asked, "How many roads we had to walk, just to make it to the door only to be told we were too late?" Time is short. Yes we've made progress. But we must act now to ensure we aren't too late to save tomorrow.

We have to stop obsessing about growth. It’s an outcome of ambitious mission-oriented policies that can crowd-in private capital and direct growth in an inclusive and sustainable direction. More in my new article for @guardian ➡️ theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Earth daily 2-m Surface Temperature is now 16,99°C this is soo crazy and the silence in media even more I can not handle this anymore! We all feel it something profound has changed. Also look at this massive Anomaly in the Antarctic it is just crazy. Soon we all will be silenced.

This red line might as well be from another planet. We are living the last days of Earth and human civilisation as we had come to know them. A tiny bit of ice left in the Arctic is currently keeping temps from rocketing. Once it goes, things will be simply surreal #ClimateCrisis

Looking forwards to learning lots over the next few days in Brasilía. I packed extra copies of my @eclac_un report on a new mission-oriented approach to industrial strategy for Latin America and the Caribbean. Read it here: cepal.org/en/publications/48…

Una entrevista muy recomendable a @MazzucatoM en la que repasa temas claves que están precisamente en juego en estas elecciones: invertir en reforzar e innovar el Estado, fortalecer los sistemas públicos de salud y educación, actuar con vigor ante el cambio climático...

What would happen if the @bankofengland was setting differential interest rates for primary mortgages, biodiversity, solar energy investments say near 0% and much higher for credit cards, consumables, cars etc near 10% ?

I was pleased to have met with the nominee for the World Bank President Ajay Banga this morning. We discussed the #BridgetownInitiative and how the World Bank can be responsive to helping save the planet, while easing the burden on the most vulnerable. There's much to be done!

"I am very proud to announce a new debt pause option for countries suffering in the aftermath of a natural disaster. That was made possible because of YOU. You are the Bank stakeholders; you are the shareholders. This is actually YOUR Bank." Ajay Banga & @miaamormottley @GlblCtzn

Chemisch afval mengen in scheepsbrandstof is illegaal, maar zeer lucratief. Een Antwerps bedrijf dat grondstoffen vervoert, zou afval hebben gemengd met ruwe scheepsolie uit Curaçao. Nu dreigen een miljoenenboete én een celstraf. pulse.ly/kewehelk3n

Another day, another record for the North Atlantic. Everything is happening so fast, it's hard to get a sense of the enormity of these anomalies, let alone their consequences.
