There is an aggressor: Russia. There is a victim: Ukraine. We were right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago—and to keep doing so. By “we,” I mean the Americans, the Europeans, the Canadians, the Japanese, and many others. Thank you to all who have helped and continue to do so. And respect to those who have been fighting since the beginning—because they are fighting for their dignity, their independence, their children, and the security of Europe.

It’s that time of year again—the World Economic Forum in Davos kicks off today. Once again, global elites will gather to discuss everything, except their own tax avoidance and evasion. 🧵 Thread -->

Tigers are back in Kazakhstan after 70 years! Thanks to #NaturesHeroes in Ile-Balkhash, two Amur tigers, Bodhana & Kuma, are now in the region. Communities are rewilding ecosystems, restoring species and organising eco-tourism to support their reintroduction. @wwfnederland

Even in the darkest days, I’ve seen hope power change. There are no guarantees for what’s ahead in 2025. But I pledge to stand with all those who are working to forge a more peaceful, equal, stable and healthy future for all people.

And these companies are responsible for a large share of the environmental, social and human externalities (= hidden but real costs) of the world‘s food systems. Their cheap food is pretty expensive for society @TMG_think @PavanSukhdev @katmerrigan @001harpinder @futureoffoodorg
These 11 companies control 70% of the processed food that we eat. When we choose to consume their products we are letting them determine our health and longevity. Do we trust them to decide our health over their profits?

Climate damages are "6X LARGER than previously thought", says new NBER working paper – every 1C wipes out 12% of global GDP – every tonne of CO2 causes >$1,000 of damages @GernotWagner tells me: "Assuming nobody finds a flaw in this paper, it is going to truly change things"

BREAKING: @equinor CEO confronted over aggressive oil & gas expansion across the world. Last year, they made £29 billion in profits. They roll in their cash, while the rest of the world burns. This is inconceivable greed. @laurensunfl0wer #StopRosebank #EquinorOut

100% devastated, 0% surprised. We will see the end of tropical coral reefs in our lifetimes 😔 We have sealed their fate. Now - let’s work a million times harder to protect the biodiversity that may still have a chance of surviving humanity. www-bbc-co-uk.cdn.ampproject…

The food we eat, from soil to spoil, is laden with hidden costs. But our current method of measuring the success of #FoodSystems neglects to account for their impact on health, environment and climate. Fascinating interview on true cost accounting! bit.ly/3IazAXR

Replying to @PavanSukhdev
@PavanSukhdev shares “My journey has brought me back to where I began- the corporate world. Except now, I focus on impact investing, every impact has externalities. We have to report performance by holding their dollar signs accountable for what they truly are.” in the Q&A.
