One year since our visit to @10DowningStreet🗓️
When @LewisHamilton met with Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer, the focus was clear: tackling educational inequality and creating better outcomes for young people.
Since then, Mission 44 has continued to invest in and advocate for inclusive education, supporting initiatives that help young people overcome barriers to opportunity, championing educators and organisations driving change, and building partnerships that create more equitable pathways into future careers 🌟
While there's still much more to do, we're encouraged by the momentum being built in the inclusive education space and grateful to the young people, partners, and advocates helping drive change forward every day.
For a more in-depth look into our inclusive education work, keep an eye out for our Ambitious About Inclusion Report coming soon and sign up to our newsletter: https://t.co/jQJol0djj7
Brazil is one step away from sparing countless ducks and geese from having metal pipes shoved down their throats and pumped full until their organs swell and their bodies start to fail. Tell Brazil's President, @LulaOficial to sign the ban and stop foie gras.
@Matsui_PR 👍進化圧 (32:00) Despite the technical challenges, major companies ultimately met the global standards when int'l emission regulations - the US EPA Tier 4, EU Stage IV and Japan’s 2014 off-road regulations - were enforced with clearly defined specifications & transition periods.
With global debt projected to reach 100 percent of GDP by 2029, waiting for growth alone to do the work is a risky proposition. The latest Fiscal Monitor blog explains why short‑term shocks must not derail fiscal consolidation.

@zwebtiai Agreed! This is a crisis that transcends generations. If people remain unable to settle down for an average of 17 years, there is a risk that children will be born, grow up and reach adulthood without ever having a permanent home of their own.
I recently helped fundraise for humanitarian aid.
📍 Refugees = 120M (The size of Japan)
📍 40% are children
📍 Total displaced doubled in 10 years
Wars are fought by leaders, but the price is paid by families.

“End the war — immediately.”
– @antonioguterres says the conflict in the Middle East must stop to avoid further loss of life, suffering and devastation.
“This has gone too far.”

Born from Myaku-Myaku, these 'seeds of life' connect us all—humans, animals, and the planet. 🤝🌎
This symbiosis is the true legacy we must carry forward from Osaka Expo into the future." 🩷
New package of measures to strengthen Europe’s plastic recycling ♻️
Why? Because circular solutions can cut the sector’s climate-related emissions by 45% and improve the sector’s trade balance by €18 billion per year by 2050

People are buying more clothes, but they don’t stay in closets for long. This fuels overproduction and waste.
An easy fix? Wear them longer. The planet will thank you!

Our planet is under strain like never before.
Temperatures rising, biodiversity collapsing & nearly every person on Earth breathing unsafe air.
But there is hope.
With the tide turning in favor of renewables & the help of the next generation, transformation is within reach.
AS IT SHOULD BE!
This is the kind of law EVERY country should have. France now considers Dog abandonment a criminal act that can lead to prison time.
The nation has taken a firm and meaningful step by calling abandonment what it truly is: cruelty. New regulations include penalties of up to three years in prison along with fines that can reach tens of thousands of euros for anyone who chooses to discard their pet.
This shift follows devastating statistics showing that more than 100,000 pets are abandoned in France each year. Many are left on roadsides, in forests, or outside shelter doors during the busy summer travel season, confused and waiting for families who never return.
Animal advocates say this is the change they have been working toward for years. It finally acknowledges that dogs are family members, not objects that can be tossed aside when someone gets tired of caring for them.
Shelter teams witness the suffering caused by abandonment every single day. Dogs often arrive scared, thin, or glued to the entrance hoping their owners will come back. For them, this law is more than a punishment system. It is a chance at justice and protection.
France has demonstrated what real animal welfare looks like. If other countries follow in their footsteps, far fewer animals will be left behind to suffer and far more will receive the safety and love they deserve.
