I swam here in East Antarctica to bring you this message:
Having witnessed the rapid melting in this region, I have no doubt that we are now facing a climate emergency.
At #COP26, world leaders need to step up or step aside. Time is running out.
Please share.

Why risk my life swimming in this utterly beautiful, but absolutely terrifying environment?
To show you first hand the rapid changes taking place in the Polar Regions.
While Australia is burning, Antarctica is melting.
Very urgent decisive action is now needed in COP26.
I can hardly believe what I have just experienced, swimming in a river UNDER the Antarctic ice sheet. Every shade of blue imaginable - it was utterly magnificent, and absolutely terrifying. Antarctica is melting. #Antarctica2020

This speech on #CommonwealthDay at Westminster Abbey was one of the most important I've ever given. There is a crucial link between living at peace with the environment and living at peace with one another. Please share.

.@PScotlandCSG sits with @NRKno to talk about how the Commonwealth countries are leading action on marine protected areas.
In the #Commonwealth, the amount of ocean protected is at least 15%, well above the international targets of 10% set by the @UN 🇺🇳 – at Oslo, Norway

#Commonwealth #BlueCharter Ocean literacy and social engagement panel with a backdrop of 50s re-industrialisation in Britain. A time of hope that brought us to the current climate emergency... Times change!
A room full of people who want to make a difference! What a difference from far too many international negotiations... Go #BlueCharter go!
Lots of interactive discussions between #Commonwealth #BlueCharter champions and partners this afternoon - so much scope for collaboration!
And, these artists are ready and willing to travel to #BlueCharter Champion countries and paint their work. Wonderful opportunity.
Fabulous to see art represented in the pitches at #Commonwealth #BlueCharter from @ollysuzi - check out their brilliant work here ollysuzi.com/ #marsocsci @MarSocSci
