"Climate change, biodiversity loss, pandemic risks + conflict matter profoundly for #development—which would make it devastating if shareholders miss this chance to transform the @WorldBank by thinking too small."

At #COP27, the global Christian community demands:
- an end to politicizing climate change
- meaningful action to operationalize finance for #LossAndDamage - leaders to act with a gender and accessibility lens
- initiatives to embed locally-led climate adaptation
#COP27 must enact public policies that yield measurable results and meaningful change for those disproportionately affected by hunger and climate change. Bread and other Christian leaders from Africa, Europe, and the U.S. gathered and listed our demands: https://t.co/vxff3c2Rwo
Bread interim director for policy analysis @jteagueglobal was featured in @CTmagazine about a convocation on climate change and hunger held in Nairobi, Kenya. The convocation was organized by Bread and brought together nearly 70 global faith leaders.

As @USDA’s Stacey Dean rightly notes, #foodinsecurity is, in reality, a downstream issue. Low wages, rising housing costs, etc., limit families’ abilities to feed themselves. @BaylorCoHP
I’m at @BaylorCoHP this week and already inspired by the stories of how so many different people and groups worked together throughout the #pandemic, along with changes in public policy, to stem the rising tide of #hunger in their communities.
Groups are beginning to gather tonight ahead of the #WHConfHungerHealth tomorrow. Need a catch up?
Also tune into @MorningEdition/@UpFirst tomorrow for the latest. I’ll also be at the event! Will you? Drop me a line and say hi

Bread welcomes the inclusion of $5 billion in the Ukraine aid bill to address the global food and malnutrition crisis. Bread and our partners have been calling on Congress to address this crisis for months. 49 million people teeter on the brink of famine. https://t.co/RVPXTNf3Nv
It's important that MDBs like the @WorldBank step up and support countries facing #hunger crises. Kudos to the Bank for financing projects to meet both immediate food/nutrition needs and investing in #farmers for the next season even now.
To help developing countries, the @WorldBank is making up to $30 billion available for implementation to address food insecurity over the next 15 months.
It is critical that countries make clear statements now of future output increases.
