Farmers in Kenya are using #solarpower to improve crop yields. The panels help reduce heat stress, reduce water loss, grow larger crops and cut energy bills. We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateCrisis #climate #energy #solar #climateaction

Today is #ShowYourStripes day. These ‘warming stripes’ are an impactful visual representation of the average temperature rise over the past 100+ years. This is Europe. Check out your country and share your stripes: showyourstripes.info/l/europ…

#DYK that up to 36 million people in the EU live with a rare disease? Whilst the diseases themselves might be rare, the number of patients they affect is quite significant 🇪🇺EU cooperation, incl. through #ERNs, improves knowledge, diagnosis & care #HealthUnion #RareDiseaseDay
Replying to @EU_Health
A strong 🇪🇺#HealthUnion means protecting & caring for every citizen, no matter their disease or where they live Together with @Europe2022FR, we are working towards a stronger EU response to #RareDiseases More info: europa.eu/!qDCMjb #RareDiseaseDay

How many people could Priti Patel actually deport? The @NewStatesman's analysis suggests half of British Asians could have their citizenship stripped, along with 39% of Black Britons without notice or appeal. #NationalityandBordersBill is back in the House of Commons this week

Well Hillary should have been the first woman sworn in as POTUS, but this is also quite exciting! #ImWithHer
