Deadly with extreme weather now, climate change is about to get so much worse. It is likely going to make the world sicker, hungrier, poorer, gloomier and way more dangerous in the next 18 years with an "unavoidable" increase in risks, a new United Nations science report says. And after that watch out. The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report said Monday if human-caused global warming isn't limited to just another couple tenths of a degree, an Earth now struck regularly by deadly heat, fires, floods and drought in future decades will degrade in 127 ways with some being "potentially irreversible."

"Today's IPCC report is an atlas of human suffering and a damning indictment of failed climate leadership," United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a statement. "With fact upon fact, this report reveals how people and the planet are getting clobbered by climate change."

As emissões globais de gases do efeito estufa devem atingir o ápice nos próximos 4 anos, usinas elétricas movidas a carvão e gás devem fechar na próxima década e mudanças comportamentais e de estilo de vida serão necessárias para se evitar uma catástrofe climática, de acordo com o rascunho de relatório vazado das principais autoridades em ciência climática no mundo. O vazamento é da terceira parte do relatório publicado pelo Painel Intergovernamental sobre Mudanças Climáticas, cuja primeira parte foi publicada na última semana, alertando sobre as mudanças sem precedentes ocorridas no clima global, algumas delas irreversíveis. O documento é dividido em três partes: a ciência física da mudança climática; os impactos e formas de se reduzir a influência humana no clima.

Global greenhouse gas emissions must peak in the next four years, coal and gas-fired power plants must close in the next decade and lifestyle and behavioral changes will be needed to avoid climate breakdown, according to the leaked draft of a report from the world's leading authority on climate science. The leak is from the forthcoming third part of the landmark report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the first part of which was published on Monday, warning of unprecedented changes to the climate, some of them irreversible. The document, called the sixth assessment report, is divided into three parts: the physical science of climate change; the impacts and ways of reducing human influence on the climate.

Every child is different, with unique identities and their capacities and circumstances evolve over their lifecycle. Children are more vulnerable than adults and are less able to understand the long-term implications of consenting to their data collection. For these reasons, children’s data deserve to be treated differently.

Toda criança é diferente, com uma identidade única e capacidades e circunstâncias que evoluem ao longo de sua vida. Crianças são mais vulneráveis do que adultos e são menos capazes de entender as implicações de longo-prazo de consentir com a coleta de seus dados. Por essas razões, os dados de crianças precisam ser tratados de maneira diferente.

The recent publication of the After Dark report wrapped up our months long human centered design research with UN Women, which was premised on understanding the experiences of women travelling and using public transportation in the evening time. To better understand these women’s needs, concerns, attitudes and behaviours, we created a set of personas based on insights we gathered across the three cities we surveyed, as well as the anecdotes of women working blue collar, night-shift jobs.

Discurso de Michelle Bachelet, Alta Comissária das Nações Unidas para os Direitos Humanos na Japan Society, Nova York, 17 de outubro de 2019.

A revolução digital é uma importante questão global de direitos humanos. Seus benefícios inquestionáveis ​​não anulam seus riscos inconfundíveis.

Keynote speech by Michelle Bachelet, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights at Japan Society, New York, 17 October 2019

The digital revolution is a major global human rights issue. Its unquestionable benefits do not cancel out its unmistakable risks.

This report aims to provide general guidance and elements of a common understanding on a Human Rights-Based Approach to Data (HRBAD), with a focus on issues of data collection and disaggregation.

I testified yesterday at the UN on 'Humanitarian aid in the digital age'. I was anxious at coming with MyData principles (framed usually for more advanced economies) and trying to apply them to the humanitarian context. Nevertheless the discussion was extremely encouraging, and there was definitely response and even demand for the idea of a bridge on those issues.

MyData-like dynamics playing out in high stakes context of famine and humanitarian aid.
