Dear friends, colleagues, and network partners,

Thank you for extending your greetings and best wishes. Today, as I celebrate my birthday, I want to take a moment to reflect on the ongoing conflict in Gaza and dedicate this day to the victims of war where more than 30,000 men, women, and children have been killed, injured, or displaced in violation of the international law.

Despite numerous calls by world humanitarian organizations such as UN agencies, Amnesty International, Transparency International, as well as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and several governments, the war on Gaza continues without regard for morality, ethics, and justice. The International Court of Justice issued interim measures aimed at preventing Israel from committing acts in Gaza that fall within the scope of the Genocide Convention, such as killing members of the targeted group and deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction. However, the violence and suffering in Gaza persist, with a significant number of casualties, including children and women.

The ICJ ruling highlights the legal obligation of all states party to the Genocide Convention to take material steps to put an end to Israel's genocidal acts in Gaza. Despite these calls for action, Israel continues to disregard its obligation to ensure the basic needs of Palestinians in Gaza are met. The ongoing conflict and disregard for international humanitarian law create chaos and hinder the distribution of humanitarian aid. The situation in Gaza is a grave humanitarian crisis that requires urgent attention and resolution.

The ongoing situation in Gaza has deeply moved me, and I believe it is important to raise awareness and show support for those who have suffered as a result of the conflict. This birthday, I want to use my platform to shed light on their struggles and offer my solidarity.

The impact of war on civilian lives is devastating, and we must come together to support the people of Gaza. I encourage all of you to take a moment to educate yourselves about the situation, to learn about the humanitarian organizations working tirelessly to provide aid, and to consider making a donation to support their efforts. I also want to honor the memory of Palestinian journalists who have been killed or injured while covering the conflict, such as Muhammad Al-Jaja, Majd Fadl Arandas, Motaz Azaiza, Younis Tirawi, Hind Khoudary and Iyad Matar. Their work is crucial in shedding light on the experiences of civilians who are affected by the conflict and their dedication to telling the truth about the situation in Gaza is an inspiration to us all.

Let us stand together for peace, justice, and humanity. Together, we can make a difference. .

I urge you to join me in taking action to stop the violence in Gaza and protect the rights of Palestinian civilians and journalists. You can start by educating yourself about the history and context of the conflict, and by contacting your local representatives to demand action. If you would like to join me in supporting the victims of war in Gaza, I kindly ask you to share this post, spread awareness, and consider making a donation to a reputable organization that is actively involved in providing aid and support.

Thank you for being a part of my life, and for your understanding and support.

COP28 in the view of independent analysts

The climate crisis is an ongoing struggle, and COP28 represents just one step in a long journey. It's crucial to stay informed, hold leaders accountable, and continue advocating for ambitious and equitable climate action. However, the independent analysts have offered diverse perspectives and assessments:

Positive Evaluations:

• World Resources Institute (WRI): Applauds the progress on fossil fuel phase-out, energy goals, and loss & damage, but emphasizes the need for stronger emissions reduction pledges and implementation plans. (Score: B+)

• Climate Action Tracker (CAT): Praises the steps towards phasing out fossil fuels and increasing renewable energy, but deems emissions reduction efforts still insufficient. (Score: Mixed-Bag)

• World Wildlife Fund (WWF): Welcomes the progress on adaptation and loss & damage finance, but warns that ambition on emissions reductions must be urgently scaled up. (Score: Positive, but Needs Work)

Critical Assessments:

• 350.org: Criticizes the lack of concrete plans for phasing out fossil fuels and the weak emissions reduction pledges, calling COP28 a "betrayal" of future generations. (Score: Failure)

• Friends of the Earth International: Decries the focus on market-based solutions and corporate partnerships, arguing that COP28 failed to address systemic power imbalances and deliver justice for vulnerable communities. (Score: Deeply Disappointing)

• Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative: Condemns the continued presence and influence of fossil fuel companies at COP28, highlighting the conflict of interest hindering progress on climate action. (Score: Major Setback)

Vietnam’s bold climate ambitions were achieved through the unwavering efforts of climate defenders like Hong. The alarming detentions of these brave individuals not only jeopardize climate action within Vietnam but also undermine the country’s crucial role as a heavily climate-impacted nation and emerging economy. We must call for a just and equitable response to climate change, one that empowers civil society to meaningfully participate in the development and monitoring of climate deals, without fear of persecution. Stand with us as we strive for a better future, where climate justice prevails and all voices are heard.

Take action to call for Hoang Thi Minh Hong’s release and stand in solidarity with them all, and with climate defenders worldwide.
