"...food, healthcare, water and sanitation, education, decent work and social security are not commodities for sale to those who can afford them, but basic #HumanRights to which we are all entitled."

#COVID19 has been likened to an x-ray, revealing fractures in the fragile skeleton of the societies we have built.
It has reinforced the need for solidarity more strongly than ever.
We belong to each other.
We stand together, or we fall apart.

Eating for the planet turns out to be eating for yourself.
Less red meat.
More plants.
Lower emissions — and also lower blood pressure, better gut health, longer life.
The climate diet and the longevity diet? Same diet.

130 years of organized labour movement has won many gains for workers’ rights. Yet these rights remain out of reach for the vast majority of workers. With disruptive changes in the world of work, labour rights are important for many additional reasons. 1/n

For @FSC_IC workers' rights mean safe working conditions, gender equality, training opportunities, and freedom of association with collective bargaining. They prohibit child labour, forced labour, and discrimination.

This is a shared responsibility. Govts enforce strong labour laws. Unions enable collective bargaining. Civ soc advocates for their rights. Companies invest in safe and fair workplaces. @FSC_IC brings them together to build consensus even when interests diverge

Claudia Goldin won the Nobel Prize in economics - as a treat, she took on volunteer role helping the WNBA players negotiate for the biggest pay increase a union has ever received - a nearly 400% raise. This is badass. wsj.com/economy/wnba-players…

Today, on #WorldSocialJusticeDay, the United Nations calls for renewed commitment to social development and justice in global systems. In the forest sector, that commitment is inseparable from how rights, livelihoods and governance are addressed in practice. 1/4
