Climate change with climatic extreme events are now being considered national security risks. What we spend on defence globally could be usefully be spent on mitigation & adaptation.

At the plenary #CGIARScienceWeek, I spoke about how @mssrf helps farmers become climate resilient: Personalised Digital services at farmer level, system level changes like intercropping & watershed mgt, & policy level inputs. @icarindia @AgriGoI @ChouhanShivraj @NITIAayog @CGIAR

Funding cuts by numerous donor countries will limit UNICEF’s ability to reach millions of children in dire need.

UNICEF implores all donors to continue to fund critical aid programs for the world’s children.

We cannot fail them now.👇 https://t.co/rxdDZmkHEK

@drrajeshsingh @anandmahindra Dr.Singh, Delhi like Shanghai China needs comprehensive approach to pollution reduction. It’s a long term commitment and no one will see impact of it if we continue to implement adhoc solutions.

It is with a heavy heart that I send my sincere condolences to the families and friends of our Red Cross colleagues.

An attack on aid workers is an attack on all of us. Humanitarians are #NotATarget

Risk cannot be eliminated, but it can be mitigated!
"Although the evidence calls for prudence, not panic—even as the Delta variant spreads—many parents will struggle to keep fear from racing ahead of the data," @drlucymcbride writes: https://t.co/xwZcZ32bwg @WHO @DrYasminAHaque

"The #DeltaVariant is more dangerous because it is more transmissible and that leads to more cases, hospitalizations & ultimately more people dying... but we know [#COVID19] vaccines prevent severe disease & death. So when it's your turn, get vaccinated," -@WHO's @mvankerkhove

[Seth Berkley @DrSethBerkley]

Great to see @AureliaFNguyen, @EvaUNICEF, @Kate_L_OBrien and Dr Melanie Saville named in @McKinsey’s list of inspiring women innovators for their work on #COVAX! Thoroughly deserved – COVAX  would be much the poorer without their passion & dedication: https://t.co/4egt3PxdjQ

Equitable access to Covid vaccines is not a choice, but a must for the world leaders. https://t.co/7woDcaqE2I
