Today Council and Exec gathered for an online meeting prior to the approaching f2f meeting in London. Thanks to everyone in attendace for spending your precious summertime for the Benefit of VdGM /EYFDM.

The situation in Ukraine, with absolute disregard for human safety and democracy, is deeply saddening to us. The fear Ukrainians must be experiencing now cannot be imagined by most of us, not to mention the danger they are facing. This is made so much worse knowing that these actions are unnecessary, and unwanted by the vast majority.

VdGM joined another Movement of significat size tackling meaningful issues - the Global Climate & Health Alliance. See GCHA Website.
