We must wake up to the fact that if any one part of our global ecosystem is supported, it supports us all. If it is harmed, it harms us all. I've added my name to this open letter calling on #G20 leaders to: Triple the Investment. End crippling debt. Make polluters pay. #DearG20 globalgoals.org/dearG20

Prime Minister @miaamormottley is at the forefront of a global financial movement. She has a plan to upgrade development banks like the @WorldBank to better serve people and #PowerOurPlanet. This plan deserves the world's attention. Let's listen to Mia!

Congrats, @CraigCohon on your @2023walkitback 2,640-mile journey for carbon reduction! We caught up with Craig in Sofia, Bulgaria, where he shared the inspiration for his mission to reverse his lifetime carbon footprint going back to 1963. We’ll see you in September for even more climate action.
