Que increíble subir a la cumbre del #Cotopaxi (5897m). ¡Un tesoro del #Ecuador!🏔
Pero hay un mensaje serio - en los últimos 50 años los glaciares en la montaña se han reducido en más del 40%. Si no actuamos ahora para protegerla, perderemos esta bella naturaleza para el futuro.

#Haiti is facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. More than a million Haitians have been displaced, 5.5 million face food insecurity, and basic services are on the verge of collapse.

Humanitarians will provide life-saving assistance to those in need.

Humanitarian needs in the #Sahel are staggering, yet response plans are still less than 50% funded – far below what’s needed.

The people of the Sahel need our support. More funding will ensure aid reaches everyone.

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret Rory you often talk about the benefits of cash transfers to individuals but 1) are there limits to this approach (ie would it leave some long-term issues unaddressed)? & 2) what do you think re donors delivering aid via budget support to govts?
PS love the pod + book, thanks

Ya no estoy en #Ecuador, pero he traído un toquecito del país conmigo - preparé estos platos para mi familia. Un ceviche de camarón y un tigrillo con ají. 🇪🇨 en 🇬🇧
Queridos amigos ecuatorianos - estaré pensando en ustedes mañana. 🗳
