- Great meeting with @NicolaSturgeon with @lchiti1 from Zambia , @bertha_magomero from Malawi, @PadreJB from the Pacific, @NushratCY from Bangladesh, and Abp. Julio from Panama. Scotland must amplify the voices of those affected worst by the climate crisis on #LossAndDamage day.

- SCIAF is absolutely shocked at the announcement that the UK Government will be slashing the UK aid budget by 40% - from 0.5 % GNI to 0.3% to fund defence spending. This is once again balancing budget decisions on the worldās poorest people. š§µ1/5
