8 d. ago How cutting US air pollution could save 6,000 lives a year by 2030

Shift from fossil fuels could lower deaths from particle pollution in some states by 19% in five years, study findsEfforts to improve the climate could reduce the number of deaths caused by air pollution in the US by about 6,000 people a year by 2030, according to a study.

These revealed health gains from climate actions across every US state and, more locally, in nearly every US county. Continue reading...

2 w. ago Palestinians warned of a genocide in 2023. Why weren’t we believed? | Ahmed Ibsais

Western academics now speak of ‘genocide’ with newfound authority. Why weren’t our voices enough?Today I watched those children again, the ones who stood before the cameras at al-Shifa hospital on 7 November 2023. They spoke in English, not their mother tongue, but the language of those who they thought might save them.“We want to live, we want peace, we want to judge the killers of children,” one boy said. “We want medicine, food and education. We want to live as the other children live.”How holy their concern now sounds, rising over a land emptied of the living.As if starving a child pre-disposed to death makes the violence more justified?Ahmad Ibsais is a first generation Palestinian American, law student and poet who writes the newsletter State of Siege Continue reading...

2 w. ago I’ve seen the UN at its best. As it turns 80, with a world in crisis, it must recover its courage | Martin Griffiths

The UN has a power and a legitimacy that could be used to save lives in Palestine, Ukraine and Sudan. But a culture of caution must be addressed• Martin Griffiths is the former UN under-secretary general for humanitarian affairsBirthday parties should be a time for celebration, but when my former United Nations colleagues meet to mark the organisation’s 80th anniversary next month, good cheer is likely to be in short supply.The UN is in crisis.

Across the critical conflicts of the modern world – Ukraine, Palestine, Sudan and others – the UN still plays a vital humanitarian role, but is relegating itself to an increasingly marginal place in primary peacemaking.
