Essential climate justice reminder in this @wid.world report.

Climate inequality deepening: “Tax the carbon content of assets and investments held by the wealthiest”

Many things are changing before our eyes. Others are harder to see

Like the US economy

Americans are spending more 💲 recovering from disasters and preparing for the next one. 36% of US GDP growth since 2000 is related to climate disasters.

Just back from a quick visit to Nysa, in southern Poland, a little over a year after climate-fueled floods inundated communities throughout central Europe.

On September 15, 2024, when this gauge registered record 692cm, streets filled up with water and many had to evacuate.
Now, some of the most prominent traces here are signs announcing financial support for reconstruction projects.
Resilience sure is crucial. But I can't help but ponder the EU's meager contribution to the loss and damage fund. #COP30

We’ve met with Greta Thunberg and others in the flotilla. They describe hours-long scenes of torture and sexual harassment in Israeli captivity. Experts conclude that they have been subjected to serious crimes – Sweden’s foreign minister believes they have themselves to blame.

The Trump-brokered deal effectively blindsided Israeli and Palestinian civilians, mostly the latter, and it's now civilians - not corrupt, bloodthirsty politicians - that must be in the driver's seat.
It is possible. If both societies turn the pain and tears into a commitment to future generations.
This really is a historic day. It's a long overdue end to the carnage, but by no means is it a peace agreement.
