🚨Dear Kenyans, Karura Forest needs you! Today being Prof. Maathai’s birthday, we honor her legacy by standing against the plan to take 51.64 acres from Karura Forest for Kiambu Road expansion. She fought for Karura and now it is our turn! Join the movement to #SaveKarura 🌿✊🏾

People are asking me whether the vibe in Glasgow before @COP26 , is like Copenhagen (which was a failed COP) or Paris (a successful COP)? I am afraid it feels worse than Copenhagen! I very sincerely hope that I am wrong and Glasgow may be better than Paris. It is up to leaders! – at Edinburgh, Scotland

The climate alarm bells are ringing at fever pitch. Scorching temperatures. Shocking biodiversity loss. Polluted air and water. My message to every member country this #UNGA is: Don’t wait for others to make the first move. Do your part.
