Systemic transformation is deeply personal. By which I mean that won't see the change we need without personal transformation - it starts within each one of us.

Fred Hollows@FredHollows19 Jul 2023
"More women in positions of power will generate better public health outcomes," @JenniferGers told #WD2023. US$12 trillion could be added to global output by 2025 if the health workforce and leadership gender gap was closed. READ our report: hollows.org/Upload/FHFV3/Med… #WomenInGH

Replying to @jonjalex @_admartin
I discuss this in The Lost Rainforests of Britain, and cite this excellent piece by Dan Nosowitz: vox.com/the-goods/2019/9/16/…

I really liked this from @_admartin @firetail on why charities need to have a "theory of the state" firetail.co.uk/news/2022/11/…

What is your "theory of the state"? — Firetail

A "theory of the state" can be thought of as a clear idea of the society you want, and the role of government in making it happen.

ESG for Assurance, ESG for Impact, ESG for Regulation: Stakeholders want different things from the #ESG movement. @markhoroszowski (MovingWorlds) writes about getting to a shared understanding that will help everyone build a better world together. ssir.org/articles/entry/esg_…

ESG Needs a Shared Language (SSIR)

As a cross-sector collaboration, ESG means different things to different people, but systems change will require building a shared understanding between diverse stakeholders.

💡This is brilliant work, thanks to @firetail for sharing it and Chera and Shaady for writing it. Imagine if we worked like this how much more we’d learn and therefore achieve.
