The 2024 UN Climate Change Conference (#COP29) unfolded in a context deeply affected by President-elect Donald Trump's return to office next year. I so appreciated joining CNN Newsroom with Lynda Kinkade to unpack the implications for international #climate action ⬇
Join us tomorrow 10:50-11:30am at the COP29 Children and Youth Pavilion at COP29 Azerbaijan for a session on ‘Engaging Young Minds: Safe & Creative Paths to Climate Activism’. 🌍🎸✨ We will be presenting our work & discussing why using music & concerts is a great way for young people to engage in climate activism, without the risks involved with protesting for many MAPA (Most Affected People & Areas) activists.

❗ 🇧🇩 Bangladesh needs your help. Thousands of people lost their homes and livelihoods due to the recent flash floods.
In August, heavy rains hit. Water overflowed after the gates of hydropower plants, barrages, and dams opened. The death toll from the floods in Bangladesh has risen to 71, with millions of people still stranded in devastated areas. The floods have affected approximately 5.82 million people, including 2.36 million children. More than 580,000 families remain marooned in 11 flood-hit districts.
The floods caused irreparable loss and damage to innocent people. Climate Live Bangladesh Coordinator Nayon Sorkar and his community have been on the ground since the beginning of the floods doing rescue and relief distribution work for flood victims.
At the beginning of the flood crisis, they urgently coordinated with four organizations and started working together by adopting the 'We Are With Flood Victims' initiative. They rescued 750 people in the flooded Feni district and distributed food items to 1,500 families. Also clean water, and medicine.
They are now focusing on providing re-housing assistance, essential food supplies, equipment, medicine and livelihood support to restore their normal lives. Initiative: Restoring Normal Life.
Your donations will provide critical support to families affected by these devastating floods, helping them recover and rebuild.
Flood victims need your support.
Current floods update: After the terrible flood that created history in August, at the end of September and at the beginning of October, more new districts including Sherpur, Mymensingh, Netrakona, Lalmonirhat, Nilphamari, Noakhali districts of Bangladesh are being flooded with flash floods.
