#BizHumanRights study via @BHRRC shows there's a lot of work to do in renewable energy sector. Low scores on land rights; respect for indigenous rights are concerning. Implementing the #UNGPs is a bit better, but none of the companies meet expectations.

The 2020 #SDG Report is out! and Canada's grade (21st) is that of a high-school slacker. If it doesn't pull its grades up there'll be deeper consequences than summer school to consider! 🇨🇦 (a G7 country) finishes higher than 🇺🇸 but lower than 🇧🇾 & 🇰🇷. bit.ly/3gsMFMj

Getting “back to normal” isn't feasible b/c “normal” got us here in the 1st place. #COVID19 has shown us how deeply connected we are to others & to the planet. With the #SDGs as our 🗺, we can design a brighter, more equal and greener future for all: bit.ly/2ZuZuPw
Forget the usual stereotypes of #HumanRightsDefenders. Then meet the 30 yr old Cambodian single mother who was thrown in prison for posting concerns on Facebook that workers from her factory might be laid off in the wake of the pandemic. bit.ly/3hJxVKs
