Globally, there’s a $1.7 trillion gap between the amount of capital women entrepreneurs need and the amount they get. How do we fix this? A new whitepaper from @gatesfoundation lays out three impactful solutions: gatesfoundation.org/ideas/articles…
The @gatesfoundation is strengthening partnerships that prioritize climate-smart innovations, helping to ensure that smallholder farmers have access to the benefits of these technologies, like CRISPR. greenbiz.com/article/why-ba…
Can better toilets improve student attendance rates? At Tsholetsega Public School in South Africa the answer was "yes". Watch the video to learn about this game-changing sanitation system & our amazing partners who made it happen. gatesfoundation.org/ideas/articles…
Today on #WorldWaterDay, we are celebrating the recent news that @LIXIL_Americas was named the first commercial partner for @GeorgiaTech's new innovative toilets, which have the potential to protect people from waste-born diseases globally. fastcompany.com/91065870/this-…
We know that climate change affects countries unevenly, but even within those countries, women often bear the brunt of those effects. This new report from @FAO explains this phenomenon and how we can address it: yahoo.com/news/un-warns-…
What does it mean for a woman to use her economic power and what're the barriers keeping her from using it? Recently, @melindagates and Nobel Prize-winning Professor Claudia Goldin discussed why women's economic power is so critical in this insightful Q&A: gatesfoundation.org/ideas/articles…
I joined @BillGates in India to hear about new innovations that are helping the country accelerate progress in agriculture & livestock sector. Thank you to the @NAASIndia & @CGIAR researchers who shared valuable insights on dairy genetics, genome editing, & more.

We must reduce emissions from food & agriculture to meet global climate goals, but we can do so without harming those already most vulnerable to climate change, writes @CGIAR's @aditimukherji: context.news/just-transitio…
#SOFI2023 reveals that while the dramatic rise in global hunger has leveled off, hunger remains much higher than pre-pandemic levels and continues to intensify across Africa, Western Asia and the Caribbean. What can we do to reverse these trends? (1/4) 🧵
Today’s FDA approval of an over-the-counter contraceptive pill is a game changer, especially for young women. nytimes.com/2023/07/13/hea…

.@vanessa_vash asks us to take a moment and think of all of the people suffering due to the #ClimateCrisis. She also reminded us of @WHO’s warnings that toxic air kills 7 million people every year. We must stop funding pollution of our climate, our planet, our health.

To combat the challenges of the climate crisis, investments are crucial for adaptation in developed countries. The world needs more partnerships like @CGIAR and @Cipotato, who leverage diagnostics, measures, and resilient crops to safeguard food security for all.
I'm so proud of our work at the @gatesfoundation to partner with organizations like @CGIAR & @Cipotato and support innovative solutions to climate change. This is what sustainable agriculture can look like. Thank you for amplifying this work, @JanKreuze. telegraph.co.uk/global-health/…
Happy #Juneteenth! Today is a remarkable day of reflection and joy, and a celebration of the hard-won emancipation of enslaved African Americans.
There are many uncontrollable threats to our climate, but one that we can control is plastic pollution. Plastic is severely damaging our ecosystem and contaminating soil, water and food. On #WorldEnvironmentDay and every day, let’s join together to #BeatPlasticPollution.
Every year, about 12.5 million tonnes of plastic are used in food production. When plastic degrades, tiny fragments enter our food systems and accumulate in our bodies, putting food security and well-being at risk. It's about time we change the system and #BeatPlasticPollution
Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of speaking at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences at the Vatican, where I conveyed the importance of leveraging nutrition-sensitive approaches and innovations to secure and build resilient #foodsystems, especially for the most vulnerable.
Conflict, climate extremes, and economic shocks continue to drive more and more communities into crisis. Unless immediate action is taken, hunger is expected to soar in 18 hotspots around the world. We need urgent action to save lives. news.un.org/en/story/2023/…
To have any hope of addressing the climate crisis, we must rapidly phase out fossil fuels. We cannot afford fairytale solutions designed to save the oil and gas industry. We cannot let national or corporate interests threaten our existence. #COP28 aljazeera.com/opinions/2023/…
