Our warmest congratulations to Odile Renaud-Basso, our next President! She has been elected by our Governors today during #EBRDam and will take over from @Jrigterink, our Acting President.
Exciting times ahead for the #EBRD!
As companies and governments deal with the impact of the pandemic, we cannot allow climate change to go forgotten. We must fight for the future of the next generations. This was my message in a recent interview with @FT.
"Signs of maturity: 1. Small talks no longer excite you. 2. Sleep is better than a Friday night out. 3. You become more open-minded. 4. You sometimes prefer to be silent than to engage in a nonsense fight. 5. Your happiness doesn't depend on people but on your inner self."
Today is Kings day. King Willem-Alexander celebrates today - at home - his 53rd anniversary. We congratulate him and his family. No Orange Reception this year but I know that the Dutch and our many Ghanaian friends will raise the glass at home. See https://t.co/3HmCHeA5kf. Enjoy!
Today we celebrate International Womens Day. An equal world is an enabled world. The Netherlands stands for and fights for gender equality and opposes those who try to push back womens rights. Special Congrats to all women who work hard for our NL -GH Growing Agenda. Thanks!
Sustainable development is the foundation for a safer and more just world. Here's how the #globalgoals aim to build effective, accountable institutions at all levels. https://t.co/CDp1A8PLGN
Farming systems that embrace sustainable intensification practices can increase crop tolerance, diversify production and hinder environmental degradation.

Forest managed by indigenous people and local communities store 300,000 million metric tons of carbon - that is 33x the global energy emissions in 2017!

Gender equality is a question of power. We live in a male-dominated world with a male-dominated culture. Only when we see women’s rights as our common objective will we begin to shift the balance. https://t.co/2aCSRBdcMj #WomensDay
#WomensDay is about spreading the word that business as usual is not acceptable. Change is possible & it starts with all of us. Join @UN_Women for a gender-equal world!
