Really great conversation COP28 UAE Demoralising to hear the #healthcare challenges in Somalia and problems w #ClimateFinance , but +s in work of International Medical Corps & IFRC. Thanks Ons Alkhadra,Petra Khoury CrispusMwemaho 🇺🇬🇷🇼 HE M.I. Nor & OCHA UAE

Looking forward to seeing how the #climatecharter secretariat speeds up the changes that #humanitarian agencies need to make

For anyone at #COP28 with an interest in #humanitarian #healthcare #IDPs please join us tomorrow at 5:30pm, climate migration pavilion (62) to discuss challenges and how IOM - UN Migration 🇺🇳 International Medical Corps Republic of Namibia Govt RBLX IsDB Group are responding

Although the Declaration on climate, relief, recovery and peace is welcome, the accompanying financial announcements are underwhelming…showing how stretched #humanitarian funding is - & continuing - so far - silos between hum & #climate . #COP28

The declaration on relief, recovery and peace is worth reading, focussing on “the places climate finance fears to tread”. It’s a good step - though the doing will be harder than the declaring #humanitarian #ClimateCrisis #COP28

Ireland sends a message of hope. #IsraelPalestineConflict

Huge respect to Patrick Kielty for these important closing words on The Late Late Show

FYI Patrick’s own father John 'Jack' Kielty was shot dead in 1988 by a group calling themselves the Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF)

Really interesting panel from Laura Evans at #Concordia23 on the ways that time pressures and the logistics of media inadvertently lead to bias and misinformation. Good argument for Tortoise and slow news…

On polarisation and lack of trust in politics and institutions, the phrase experts from politics and media have been using at Concordia is “it’s going to get worse before it gets better”. Gulp.

Many thanks to Concordia and particularly to International Medical Corps (great work on the ground) and Alex Wallace (great questions) for the opportunity to take part in this conversation!

Interesting comment from José Manuel Barroso talking about supply chains Concordia 2023: “we’re living in a world where we see the overpoliticisation of everything”

Things we learnt from Robert Jenrick on BBC Radio 4 Today
1. UK government ‘shares a a vision’ with a far right post fascist party
2.stopping #migrants the biggest challenge facing UK today (NHS, cost of living not so much)
3. Bob spent ages practicing ‘not age appropriate’ b4 show.

Thank you Amanda Pridmore

If you missed it - 3 #climate Qs for #humanitarian agencies:
1. Is your health / wash infrastructure and supply chain ready for xtreme heat, floods etc?
2. Are your programmed undermining resilience or contributing. How?
3. Are you ready for greater more frequent needs on same $?

After yesterdays excellent HuCo Vienna, with particularly good discussions on #migration , BBC Radio 4 Today has a piece interviewing a Tunisian fisherman. In last 3 weeks, he has found 15 human bodies in his nets.

'Progress here in Bonn has been slow... it doesn't seem like everyone is ready to address this climate crisis with the urgency it requires... while at home, our people are facing the impacts of climate change every day.' LDC Group reaction to #SB58 🇺🇳

Discussion at #humanitarian congress Vienna centring on the fact that there are real migration crises going on, and there are also manufactured #migration “crises”. The latter are the ones that tend to make the news…

“An out of sight out of mind tactic is used by governments addressing migration - the further you push it away from your border, the easier it is to be forgotten” says Bram Frouws of Mixed Migration Centre at the humanitarian congress Vienna

Great presentation by Reem Mussa of MSF International at #humanitarian congress #vienna on the structured violence in international migration. 40-70% of violence is perpetrated by state actors…

Unhappy predictions: The Economist on #coal : “we find the market is lively, well funded and profitable..it will probably allow trade to endure well into the 2030s, lining survivors pockets to the detriment of the planet”.
