At #SB62 in Bonn, CARE CJC's Marlene Achoki led a seminar on NAPs, bringing together 30 youth from around the world.
They used our Toolkit for Youth on Adaptation & Leadership (co-created w/ @GCAdaptation & @noradno), equipping the youth to shape policy & drive advocacy. (1/3)
PEPFAR is one of the most successful global health programs ever.
It provides HIV treatment for over 20 million people.
And now it faces a funding delay of up to 6 months.
Without access to treatment, HIV can rebound in less than a month.
This is self-defeating stupidity.
Empowering women leaders in climate action! @RockyMtnInst's Taylor Krause spoke at the @US_Center for our #COP29 event, emphasizing women's contributions to energy, STEM & climate fields.

What a joy to welcome out of captivity Evan Gershkovich, Paul Whelan, Alsu Kurmashova, Vladimir Kara-Murza & the others unjustly detained. Our hopes remain with so many others still being held, including our own @georgetownsfs alum @FreeAustinTice. Let's bring him home!

It has been 1,000 days since Afghan girls were allowed to go to secondary school. They are having their futures taken away from them as the Taliban issues draconian edicts to oppress women and girls. The international community must hold the Taliban accountable for its crimes.
In today’s @washingtonpost: how Venezuelan immigrants are transforming the capital’s food delivery scene — one moped at a time. These are their stories, from surviving a treacherous journey to the U.S. to pushing through rain or shine, language barriers and everything in between.
Happy #EarthDay 🌎
#DYK In August 2023, @StateDept released the first-ever U.S. Strategy to Respond to the Effects of Climate Change on Women, which formalizes the U.S. government’s two-pronged approach to efforts related to the nexus of gender equality and #climatechange.
42K people (loved ones, friends, neighbors etc) died in preventable traffic crashes in 2022. We can and must do much better and sadly we already know the answers. Less overall driving, slower speeds, less intoxication, less distraction, and way more 🚇🚌🚴♂️🚶🧑🦽design & investment.
For the WPS agenda to be meaningful it has to address human security overall, which much include addressing GBV. Impressed by the number of women in the Colombian @PoliciaColombia force and their efforts to reduce GBV.
Climate change is the most existential crisis of our time. On Gender Day at #COP28, the U.S. government proudly announces our gender and climate deliverables to promote gender-responsive actions in the broader climate arena. 🌎https://t.co/ea36kg6ZN0
Power is not given, it is taken. Women have #climate solutions & yet they do not have a seat at the table
This has to change. Now.
On #COP28#GenderDay, discussed how we change this with @HillaryClinton, @UNEP Young Champion of the Earth @LouiseMabulo & inspiring female leaders
