Elon Musk told the United Nations he would give them $6 billion to end world hunger if they showed him a detailed plan of how they would use the money. They called his bluff and gave him their plan— and then they never got the money. Now he’s buying Twitter for $45 billion.

Chocolate. Tomatoes. Potatoes.
All foods that were cultivated and enjoyed by indigenous Latin American cultures for hundreds — if not thousands — of years.

The most vulnerable communities are at the greatest risk from climate change, and they have done the least to cause it.
This #WorldHumanitarianDay, join the #TheHumanRace: a global challenge for climate action in solidarity with those who need it the most.

Many who are fully vaccinated are understandably worried about Delta.
But take a minute to think of the billions of people around the world facing a similar Covid surge, but not yet able to access even a single dose of vaccine.
We must prioritize global vaccine equity.

New blog: "Barefoot and begging - pity communications do everyone a disservice". @_dela_a and @Ruthie_W_writes explore why and how portrayals of Overseas Development Assistance (known as aid) must move on from being lazy and racist. #ODA #UKaid

ALT “Without providing information about the factors driving the problems depicted, development communications both end up marking the global South as a site of rootless, causeless, unavoidable suffering, and tire audiences in the global North who are confused as to why, after so much aid has been given and donations have been solicited, not much has seemingly changed.” Claire Bracegirdle via AfricaIsACountry

Today, a jury did the right thing. But true justice requires much more. Michelle and I send our prayers to the Floyd family, and we stand with all those who are committed to guaranteeing every American the full measure of justice that George and so many others have been denied.

While women form 77% of Uganda’s agricultural sector, most land is owned by men. Barriers to ownership mean women have little say in how land is used.
We conduct gender analyses with governments to ensure #ClimateAction can be gender-responsive. #IWD2021
