I was thrilled to meet two brilliant @NorthwesternU students studying negotiation and climate finance at #COP26. I'm so inspired by all of the young people who have found it in their hearts to demand change - and I'm proud to see Illinois so well represented here in Glasgow!

@Pres2Influence research - timely for understanding the politics of exclusion/inclusion unfolding @COP26
In a recent article, @KimSuiseeya, Laura Zanotti, & Kate Haapala analyze how #indigenouspeoples shape global environmental governance. They find that the politics of direct representation matter, influencing the trajectory of GEG #indigenouspeoplesmonth đź“„ow.ly/aU1w50GEu3S

Just to be clear: there is nothing “pro-life” about denying people comprehensive sexual education, making birth control harder to access, forcing others to give birth against their will, and stripping them of healthcare and food assistance afterwards.

It is unacceptable that the latest text on Article 6 on carbon markets does not include language on promoting #humanrights and ensuring strong safeguards to protect people and the environment. 4/n

“This is not a political issue that should be used to generate votes, it’s a matter of life and death, of dignity, which is why all federal initiatives must include local Indigenous communities in positions of leadership” - Bineshi Albert @IENearth #COP25 nativenewsonline.net/current…

Activists were kicked out of #COP25 Wednesday for demonstrating. Many were shoved by police and had their badges taken. @ngualinga says Indigenous activists like her "are the ones taking care of these lands… yet, we're not being listened to." "We should be inside there."

At #COP25, we took the center stage and reclaimed the mic with other youth, indigenous and frontline leaders from around the world. They kicked us out. We will continue to fight for climate justice. We will not be silenced or intimidated. We will win.

#UNFCCC responds by pushing demonstrators outside and stripping credentials from many activists. UN also censoring tweets on this violence and discrimination. #IndigenousRights #NixArticle6 #JustTransition
Presence2Influence retweeted
Outraged that @UNFCCC has reacted with such aggression towards peaceful protests on lack of progress at #COP25. 100s of us kicked out for demanding rich countries #payup to those suffering #climate impacts; and an end to dodgy carbon trading. #Kickpollutersout, not people.
