IBT will stop posting on X.
The platform no longer aligns with our values. The environment is toxic and we do not believe it is a space where charities can be heard.

With climate finance taking centre stage at #COP29, our paper #CarbonInequality lays out why curbing the excessive emissions of an elite few can create a sustainable planet for all. It's time for the biggest polluters to #PayUp. #MakePollutersPay

1. Here are my thoughts on the pros and cons of staying on this platform.
Pro: We were here long before Musk took it over. We built this.
Con: He has used our creation to help elect a far-right autocrat, and build his own grim political career.

An important report tracing the unsettling death of a Rohingya child in India: telegraph.co.uk/global-healt… @TelGlobalHealth

Trafficked #Rohingya refugee Hamida was only 14 when she died this year under "mysterious" circumstances while detained in #India.
When I set out to investigate her death for @Telegraph, I had no idea about the widespread systemic problem I would uncover: tinyurl.com/y6cy33fu

If you haven't already the @BeebRoger podcast with @lotaboluoki is well worth listening to, talking about why peoples' ability to find high-quality international news & investigative journalism is so important given the increasing role of online intermediaries & algorithms.

In the same week Tim Davie called for more govt. funding for the BBC World Service while axing Hard Talk, @GarethBenest of @_ibt discusses the decline in international coverage by UK broadcasters & the impact of algorithms on public service broadcasting.🎧 podfollow.com/beebwatch/view

Not having identity documents heightens an individual's risk of exploitation and modern slavery. Thanks @caroline__kimeu for highlighting the exploitation facing many young women in Kenya. @Freedom_Fund
