    some advice for the initiative. Gender, climate and the environment all need to be integral for Better to be the reality.

    Multi-coloured ‘New Deal’ needed for global economic recovery. Press release, 15 December 2021. Gender, climate, care, water and inequality must be addressed to build back better. The world needs a multi-coloured ‘New Deal’ that addresses gender, the climate crisis, access to clean water, the lack of investment in care and rampant inequality to recover from the economic fall-out of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to new analysis from IIED. G7 leaders agreed earlier this year to mobilise billions of dollars to help developing countries tackle climate change through the ‘Build Back Better World’ initiative. The United States is pushing ahead with plans under this scheme to finance major infrastructure projects in countries like Senegal, Ghana and Colombia, further details of which are expected next month.

    Covid-related face-masks are the latest onslaught of the plastic plague we've unleashed on Nature. Shouldn't every mask have a message calling for responsible disposal after use? Reports of face-masks joining the Ocean's current flows and litter gyres are rife. Roll on UNEA5!
