Fighting the patriarchy is an everyday duty, but at least today we get to shout it together: we've had enough! Enough 'jokes', enough condescension, enough questioning our competence, enough harassment, enough misoginy. Happy International Women's (rights) Day 💜 #8M #IWD2024

Extremely disappointed as Sharm agriculture negotiations at #COP28 fall apart Lack of constructive dialogue & willingness to find common ground means 1 year wasted No procedural issue under discussion is bigger than the challenge farmers face on the frontline of climate impacts – at Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Disappointing to see such an empty hemicycle in front of Commissioner @jwojc & MEP @IECarvalhais for a discussion on generational renewal in agriculture 🧐 – at Strasbourg, France
Replying to @picotmarion
A pity to see the committee room emptier and emptier as MEPs are discussing the challenges and needs of young farmers. @_CEJA_

Due to hundreds of uncontrolled wildfires across Canada, New York City looks like a post-apocalyptic hellscape. If you want a prelude of what the world is going to look like if we do not address man-made climate change — this is it. #ActOnClimate
