Swiss Song of the Day 🇨🇭🛥: Der Prophet gilt im eigenen Land nichts. So viele Karrieren von Schweizer Musikern nahmen erst im Ausland an Fahrt auf.

The IPCC's sixth assessment report acknowledges colonialism as a historical and ongoing driver of the climate crisis, highlighting its role in exacerbating vulnerability to climate impacts. This inclusion marks a significant step forward, recognizing the long-standing narrative of the climate justice movement.

Through increased representation of diverse voices and collaborative research efforts, the IPCC aims to address historical injustices and advance equitable climate solutions.
