Joining the launch of the Global Policy Institute at the University of Maryland.

My message to the next generation of leaders remains the same as it was eight years ago: The future belongs to those who lean into the journey with courage and purpose.

Young people have the energy and vision to shape our world. Our responsibility is to share the wisdom and experience to inform their leadership.

[UN-Water @UN_Water]

Safe toilets mean dignity.

More than half a billion people still share toilets with other households, putting women's and girls' privacy and security at greater risk.

What do safe toilets mean to you?

What do we lose when inclusion is an afterthought?

That's the heart of the question in the upcoming #WorldSocialReport, which calls for social inclusion as an integral part of progress from the start.

In most countries, the incomes of the poorest rose faster than the national average, but progress is uneven.

Reducing inequality requires closing income gaps, protecting labour and scaling development finance.
