Wild thing about green industrial policy being *the* way that U.S./EU politicians talk about climate change now is that it has no answers for something like Hurricane Milton

Having reliable, accessible data is key in fighting injustice and inequality. In partnership with @Google's Data Commons, ONE is making that possible.

ONE's @hurrayforfacts and @jriver_a explain how below. 👇

PS: Thanks @Google, we'd collab with you any day. 😉

Vaccines save six lives every minute. And they have every year - for the past 50 YEARS.

The vast majority of those lives were infants.

Talk about a jab well done 😏 @gavi https://t.co/5wlmd2XHkd.

The @G7 Fin Min meeting was a let down for developing countries (unless you're Ukraine). It was lacking any clear ambition or new commitments that would support the poorest countries.

But here are a few highlights, and what else needs to happen 🧵

[ONE @ONECampaign]

@G7 Finance Ministers failed to significantly increase development & climate funding. This completely ignores calls from African leaders and the current financial reality. Net transfers to developing countries are at their lowest level since the 2008 financial crisis. 🤯

It’s not too late to fix this at next month’s #g7italy meeting. Leaders there need to commit to investing in our collective future.

[Joseph Kraus @hurrayforfacts]

Rich countries say they’ve (finally!) hit their 2009 climate finance target.

New @OECD numbers released this week show a big increase in climate finance.

But there’s more than meets the eye… 🧵

[ONE @ONECampaign]

Africa has 60% of the world’s best solar potential & more hours of sunlight than any other continent. ☀️

But it only has 1% of global installed capacity. 2 African start-ups are changing that, but more investment is needed. 👇 🧵

Last Friday, the @IMFNews Board made a decision that could increase available financing for developing countries up to $80 billion, at no cost to taxpayers.

How? 🧵

"More than one in five emerging markets and developing countries paid more to service their debt in 2022 than they received in external financing. This could rise to more than one in three by 2025" More from @ONEAftershocks at https://t.co/muGG15Z8fW

New track just dropped and it's 🔥🔥

[Winnie Byanyima @Winnie_Byanyima]

For the first time since the financial crisis, net finance flows to developing countries turned negative.

Debt relief and reforming the patriarchal, racist global financial system are urgent.
