Kindness is everything 🥰👇

Even the smallest amount of kindness can make someone’s day.

I am deeply disturbed by news reports that the U.S. Administration is considering withdrawing its support for Gavi. If true, and if Congress allows this to happen, the impacts will be devastating, including possibility of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of preventable deaths, especially among mothers and children. We are going to do everything possible to convince the Administration and the Congress to reverse these actions if true.

@_HannahRitchie So great to see this Hannah! Congrats. What an important (and enjoyable) contribution to the climate literature.

[Alex Reid @Alreidy]

Climate change is humanity’s greatest challenge… but it’s one @Breakthrough and their founder @BillGates is finding solutions for!!

Learn about why Breakthrough got started and what keeps Bill Gates optimistic we can solve climate change 👇🏼

[Bill Gates @BillGates]

As I think about the next big meeting on climate that I’ll be attending–#COP28–I want to share my own journey on climate change, and why I founded @Breakthrough. https://t.co/u1g6CU7XI9

Thank you to all the remarkable individuals and global leaders who joined us at the @GatesFoundation #Goalkeepers2030 event today. Urgent action is needed to achieve a more equitable and safe future for all by 2030—but today left me more inspired than ever that it can be done.

“I was going over a list of books that are banned in Tennessee [schools] and… the list was really staggering,” says novelist Ann Patchett. “Yet at the same time, we’re not doing anything to keep our children safe from guns… It’s ludicrous and an embarrassment… It’s a crime.”

To achieve the world’s climate goals, we need all the tools in the tool kit. Direct Air Capture (DAC) is one of those critical tools, making today’s DOE announcement a major milestone. This piece by @AndreasenJack from @Breakthrough is a great explainer on DAC and why we’ll need it alongside the clean energy transition. https://t.co/FBNllVkCgQ

So did I @BillGates :)

I loved Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin, even though I never thought I'd relate to a book about gaming. https://t.co/vPTVcPJv5s via @billgates

I love this question.

My mum always believed in education, having an opinion and speaking up.

She didn’t have the same opportunities as me growing up but she made sure I had access to all the things she never did. I am forever grateful / full of guilt. 🙏🏼

How does your mother or mother figure inspire you?

Ahead of #MothersDay, we checked in with some of our North America Team at the foundation about the women who have motivated and uplifted them most.
