Climate finance is about more than money. It’s meant to help communities prepare for climate impacts, support cleaner energy, protect livelihoods and build a safer future. See why investing in climate action benefits everyone: unep.org/topics/climate-acti…

More money for war, year after year after year. $1.5 trillion for “defense.” Defense from what? Climate breakdown? Poverty? Hunger? Nope. It’s a blank check for weapons contractors and the war economy. Join us Oct. 13 to learn how to stop the cycle: actionnetwork.org/events/web…

Today, on the National Day for #TruthandReconciliation, we honour the strength and resilience of residential school survivors, and we remember the children who never returned home. Today is a day for reflection, but it is also a day of responsibility. True reconciliation is a call to learn the truths of this country, to acknowledge the intergenerational impacts that continue today, and to respect and uphold the strength of Indigenous Nations in caring for our lands, languages, and Peoples. 🪶 On this National Day, we should all commit to reconciliation rooted in the truth, and most importantly, the love for generations to come. 🧡 Art by Hawlii Pichette

Even some U.S. defense workers agree: the military’s emissions are a huge problem for the climate. costsofwar.watson.brown.edu/…
Quote: "Just greenwashing isn't going to do it. Just putting solar panels up isn't going to do it. So we're trying to stress that the only way to really lower emissions of the military [is] to make the military smaller." — U.S. military industry worker
