Another sign that the UK, despite its clear historic responsibilities and desire to be seen to show global leadership, lacks the ambition to tackle the climate crisis. If the UK Govt want to start being taken seriously in relation to the climate crisis, they need to start acting like it.

It is my great honour to be here at the United Nations in Geneva representing @trocaire.bsky.social and supporting such couragenous human rights defenders as Udiel in advocating for a strong #BindingTreaty on #BusinessandHumanRights.

'The Irish draft included a cut of 17% from the Global Europe fund compared to the European Commission’s original proposal. Global Europe covers all the EU’s spending on international development and cooperation.' At a time of increased conflict and the climate crisis, aid cuts are devastating!

We march today in solidarity, for justice & for action! Economic pressure works. That is why the EU must suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement. The Irish Government has a pivotal role in pushing this forward as they currently hold the EU Presidency. There can be no excuses. Enough is enough!

Ahead of Saturday's National Palestine Demo, Dr. Yasser from our partner Gaza Community Mental Health Programme has a message for the people of Ireland. 'It reaches people in Gaza, and it tells us that our case is not forgotten.' We will not forget! Let's march together, 1pm, Garden of Remembrance

This Saturday, join us at 1pm at the Garden of Remembrance in Dublin. Let's show the Palestinian people that they will not be forgotten, and that we will not let the Israeli Government continue to get away with total impunity as they continue their genocide. Let's unite and stand up for justice💪

Meet Ma Win, in Tanintharyi Region, Myanmar. Like many, her household relied on agriculture for income. As conflict spread across Myanmar, this became near impossible. Through an MHF funded project, Ma Win received emergency cash assistance. Read her story: www.trocaire.org/news/holding...

'They're at the centre of climate negotiations internationally, but at the same time, they're trying to introduce new fossil fuel infrastructure.' You might've seen the Stop Climate Chaos Climate Hypocrisy stunt, but here's the WHY behind it! 💪Join us on 14 Nov as we march to End Fossil Power

Ireland found GUILTY at Climate Court 👩‍⚖️⚖️👨🏻‍⚖️ Building new fossil fuel infrastructure instead of phasing it out. Guilty❌ Putting profits of Big Tech ahead of our future. Guilty❌ Allowing fossil fuel companies to make record profits while households face soaring energy bills. Guilty❌

Ireland found GUILTY of climate hypocrisy! Ireland claims itself as a climate leader internationally, but at home continues to expand fossil fuel infrastructure such as LNG

In yesterday's Irish Times, Trócaire CEO Seán Farrell wrote about how Ireland's EU Presidency is a unique opportunity to use our influence to place poverty, inequality & human rights at the centre of the development agenda, and counteract devastating global aid cuts. Read the full letter below ⬇️

With Irish Aid support, Gabay Yussuf in Somalia is creating more stability & increasing food production in her community. Alongside our partner NAPAD, we've provided drought resistant seeds, tools & agroecology training so communities are more resilient to extreme weather caused by climate change.

Despite aid cuts decimating programmes in recent years, Irish Aid buck the trend, valuing the vital work done by organisations such as ours around the world. As a result, we've been able to support the most vulnerable communities around the world as they face the world's worst humanitarian crises.

‘We live in fear. People are living in fear of everyone. We’re afraid of physical contact; people are isolating in their homes.’ Abbey Chrysante, Justice and Peace Coordinator with Caritas Bunia in DR Congo discusses the devastating impacts of the Ebola outbreak.

The escalation in recent weeks of settler violence in the West Bank has been horrific, supported by the Israeli Government. It is ethnic cleansing. Even the US Ambassador has called the violence in Qusra 'terror attacks'. Keep calling out the violence & injustice faced by the people of Palestine!
