A process meant to protect people & planet cannot be shaped by the very industry driving the damage. We need to reform the rules of climate talks: 🔸Allow voting when consensus is weaponized 🔸Adopt enforceable #ConflictOfInterest rules 🔸Protect civic space and #HumanRights.

Viên chức “chân trong, chân ngoài”: Có nên vừa làm lãnh đạo công, vừa quản lý doanh nghiệp? Dự thảo Luật Viên chức (sửa đổi) mở cửa cho viên chức tham gia quản lý, điều hành doanh nghiệp ngoài công lập, gây tranh luận tại Quốc hội. Một bên ủng hộ tăng thu nhập, phát huy năng lực; bên lo ngại xung đột lợi ích, ảnh hưởng công vụ. Cần minh bạch, kiểm soát chặt để tránh lợi dụng quyền lực.
