Austrian Climate Summit - The Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative - please to be a part - the health and humanitarian impacts will grow without urgent mitigation & adaptation, without fossil fuel non proliferation, without treating people humanely, without mobility, and access to medicines for all. We know the solutions and can create new ones. Arnie urged us to act, to fight (and quoting himself acting in Kindergarten Cop, 'stop whining' about a certain someone denying what science is unequivocal on. As importantly, people are witnessing and experiencing the "ferocious impacts" to quote an MSF humanitarian worker in Haiti (see our Hostile Climate research). And people and communities are living the consequences of climate change and environmental degradation in so many places: from extreme weather events, infectious disease burden changes, emerging and ancient diseases, food and water insecurity, and more. Those who suffer most usually contribute least to the triple climate change, pollution, and biodiversity crises. Time to get a grip and implement solutions and be true to commitments, Paris Agreement, human rights, to listen to and support communities, listen to people who have and continue to steward the land including Indigenous and tribal peoples. We're in it together, thanks for having me join in a small part
