Climate Action Network International’s Post

This has important for damage assessment experts involved in conflict and related assistance and recovery planning. A framework that ties together the best of different humanitarian approaches could be a next step to practical operational practice.

This is the biggest challenge for the stability and democracy of the EU. This is how the fertile ground for radicalism is created and the danger of for example Russia destabilizing our continent.

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine is inflicting untold suffering on the Ukrainian people, with profound global implications. We are now on the brink of the third year of the gravest armed conflict in Europe since the Second World War. The war in #Ukraine must end now, in line with the UN Charter and international law. 

A dangerous concoction of instability and conflict threatens the little peace the #EU currently has. Tensions run high from Africa to East Asia, with almost every region currently experiencing some sort of unrest. The current climate of Europe raises concerns of #defense and security for many citizens, with political parties agreeing that peace is at risk. Despite this agreement, the measures proposed to alleviate the discomfort in the region differ greatly. 💡Read more from TNGO’s María Vallés González to learn how about current conflicts, future threats and proposed solutions within the EU: https://lnkd.in/d386diig #Eurobarometer #nationalsecurity

The article discusses the #Gaza #conflict that began on October 7, 2023, with a #Hamas #attack on #Israeli territories, resulting in casualties and hostages. #Israel responded with airstrikes, and the conflict escalated, prompting a temporary ceasefire. #EuropeanUnion member states had varied reactions, with no unified #EU policy. The article highlights individual country positions, such as #Germany's strong support for Israel, the #UK's alignment with the #US, #France's call for a ceasefire, and #Hungary's rejection of a #UN resolution. The EU's inability to present a united stance is attributed to historical, geopolitical, and domestic political factors.

Peace And Security,Peaceful Democratic Transition and No Foreign Interference Can Lead To Positive Changes

❝Our utmost support and attention to Ukraine is not a need, but a necessity that will determine whether the system of rules-based world order will survive Russia's brutal attack.❞ In this new Critical Thinking article, Dr. Zanda Kalnina-Lukasevica, Deputy Speaker of the Latvian parliament, Trustee of Friends of Europe and EYL40 European Young Leaders stresses that Russia relies on fatigue to win its war. We, in the West, must ensure that Russia is brought to justice for its inhuman acts against children and the Ukrainian population in general, which also exhaust the definition of genocide. Echoing the recent words of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the Munich Security Conference, she argues that the West's unity is put to the test in its ability to impose economic sanctions and persecute criminals and persecution crimes. As today marks the second anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion, we must ensure to safeguard the structures and values set up to prevent a repeat of the 20th-century conflicts around the world. ❝It is our solemn responsibility to protect them.❞ ⤵ Read this new Critical Thinking article below. #CriticalThinking #DoNotNormaliseTheWar #UkraineInitiative #StandWithUkraine

📢 With the elections around the corner, it's time to prioritize peace in our policies. Two-thirds of the global population living in extreme poverty reside in fragile or conflict-affected regions. Additionally, as of this year, 80% of all humanitarian needs worldwide will stem from conflict. Yet, despite these statistics, and despite having a large scale war on Europe’s continent that has shaken all of us, we have not seen increased attention or support for conflict prevention or peacebuilding. On the contrary, what stands out is the single focus on armament as the solution for maintaining peace in Europe and its borders. Diplomacy, let alone conflict prevention and peacebuilding, receives scant attention. Yet, these are crucial for addressing the root causes of war and conflict. ⬇  https://lnkd.in/eK_ufTX7

🛑 Uncensored Trusted News Are Needed all the OPT. The situation in all the Occupied Territories after 1967 including the ‘OPT’ needs to be monitored, followed and reported on from independent, trusted outlets and sources free from misinformation and lies. We have an ever increasing acceleration of violence and aggression causing casualties, death and destruction on many scales and fronts. These cannot be left uncovered. It is unacceptable that complete communities and populations to be subjected to violence and terror and at the same time totally isolated and screened from reality and the rest of the world as well. It is the responsibility of ICC and the ICJ as well to carefully consider these issues. How can we and juridical institutions live in vacuum? Violence and killing of journalists as well as shutting down of news outlets must be strongly condemned and responsible actions must be taken, e.g. by ICC. We cannot live in vacuum of trusted information where the intentions is to wipe out whole populations. Access to well trusted and independent information on all fronts is a prerequisite for military abuse, asymmetric escalation and propagation of insecurities.
