The time for gender justice is now! We must challenge the systemic injustices that are perpetuated by tradition and power structures. As members of ACT Alliance we have the responsibility to speak up, advocate and lead by example. #TheRoad2Equality #CSW65 #GenerationEquality

Thank you to the @UNFPA's Executive Director @Atayeshe for the invitation to join the High-Level Commission on the Nairobi Summit on ICPD25 Follow-up. I am thrilled with the possibility to advocate for meaningful follow-up to the 12 global commitments on #SRHR and #genderequality
Unimpressed with flying in the USA. Not only does @AmericanAir charge you for the privilege of picking your seat when you check in, they also encourage you to pay close over $30USD to board earlier. No exceptions for charity workers with $$$ of photo gear for their jobs... :(

Glad to see @cathmckenna supporting the high ambition coalition at #COP24 today in calling for strengthened efforts to keep temp rise to 1.5C and recognizing that “the poorest and most vulnerable are being hit the hardest” by climate change. #act4climate

Increasingly frequent extreme weather events hinder poverty alleviation and the opportunity to live a dignified life. As the poor and most vulnerable are hit hardest, human rights must be central to climate action #CallToAction @lutheranworld go.actalliance.org/climateca…

We invite you to join @ACTAlliance, @lutheranworld & the ecumenical community to stand in solidarity with climate vulnerable people and sign our #CallToAction for global resilience & sustainability. #COP23 #ACT4Climate go.actalliance.org/climateca…
“...we need to act now to change the inequalities in the world today. If we will not do that, then we are completely lost," says @rudelmar at #COP23 press conference with @ACTAlliance and @BROT_furdiewelt . #ACT4climate actalliance.org/act-news/add…

Three reasons why the current status for #climatefinance can be questioned. Read my blog about the UN #climate talks dailykos.com/stories/2017/11… #UNFCCC #COP23
The first thing we need to do is get CO2 emissions down. The second thing is to get even more ambitious says Ingrid-Gabriela Hoven, Dir-Gen of Dept for Global Issues, BMZ, Germany at #Pacific Night. #act4climate #climatejustice
Always the people affected should be at the centre of the response says Cornelia Fullkrug-Weitzel at the #Pacific Night hosted by @brot_furdiewelt and @ACTAlliance at #COP23 tonight.
If you save Tuvalu, you save the world says Sabine Minninger of @BROT_furdiewelt. If Tuvalu is lost to sea level rise, many other islands and nations will follow. #cop23 #act4climate
Relocation is impossible in Tuvalu, says Rev Tafue Lusama of climate forced migration. The island of Tuvalu is 3-4m above sea level. #act4climate #cop23

“The hopes and aspirations of millions of people who are facing the harshest impacts of climate change depend on urgent actions to mitigate climate change,” says @rudelmar in a joint statement with @oikoumene & @lutheranworld today. #ACT4Climate #cop23 go.actalliance.org/cop23pr3
Happening now at #COP23: climate induced migration in the Pacific, hosted by @ACTAlliance and @BROT_furdiewelt
45% of the people at the @actalliance strategy session at #COP23 are under 30. Great to see so much youth involvement! #act4climate #youth
