This project is so important. Ni-Vanuatu women need electricity for cooking, to charge digital devices, and for lighting. But up to 90% of people in rural areas of Vanuatu have no access to the electricity grid. Thanks for your support Max Willis, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade 🇦🇺 & PowerWells! 👏

ActionAid was one of the many co-plaintiffs in this case. This ruling is a disappointing setback for #ClimateJustice and for communities around the world who are least responsible for causing the climate crisis but bearing the brunt of the impacts. abc.net.au/news/2024-11-1…

The climate emergency is a story of avoidable injustice. The rich cause the problem, the poor pay the highest price. The most vulnerable are being abandoned to climate extremes. We need climate justice. Now. #COP29
