Today, the 27th of January 2023 marks the lnternational Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust. The theme for the 2023 Holocaust remembrance and education day is: "Home and belonging". This theme guides United Nations Holocaust remembrance and education day in 2023. The theme highlights the humanity of the Holocaust victims and survivors, who had their home and sense of belonging ripped from them by the perpetrators of the Holocaust. The violence of exclusion began with disinformation and hate speech that lent support to systemic injustice, discrimination and marginalization and ended with genocidal killing. These reminds us of our responsibility to respond with humanity to the victims of atrocity crimes, to counter hate  speech, antisemitism, Holocaust distortion and denial, and prejudice - to do all we can to prevent genocide.

Loss and damage refers to the effects of climate change that we can no longer prevent. This includes severe weather events and slow changes like rising  sea levels. Countries in the global south are often the hardest hit, facing huge losses while being least responsible for the emissions that cause climate change. Many affected countries lack the funds to recover from these damages without international aid. Current efforts to address these damages are not enough, more global support is needed. Losses and damages from climate change are happening now. We need better funding, rules, and support systems at all levels to tackle these issues effectively.
