This is a sizzler. Please read it. Then read it again. Searing insights. Deep analysis. Highly alarming. (Ps I particularly liked the “New Cold War” bit. ) https://t.co/MoHptZ7r0S

Such a powerful image - the Minister from Tuvalu in the South Pacific delivered his speech to #COP26  from the sea to illustrate the crisis they face with rising sea levels. #climatechange

We talked to @trussliz last week about aid cuts hitting country programmes hardest. As a result 👇UK (5th richest country) will go from giving more aid to Africa than any country except USA, to giving less than South Korea (10th richest and the newest aid donor country)

Government broke a manifesto promise to cut global aid 30%. Treasury now threatens to break PM’s G7 promise Covid vaccine donations would be ‘on top’ of aid budget. And the global agreement that IMF credits would be additional help for Covid response https://t.co/nst4DYTSWb 1/2

Cross party MPs say "cutting aid spending on neglected tropical diseases, or health research for lower-income countries, in order to focus on Covid-19, could undermine the response to Covid, and put us all at greater risk from the next pandemic."

In his speech, Bolsonaro lied about the protection of the Amazon, saying that 84% of the forest is standing. But over 20% of the forest has already been destroyed, and the first half of 2021 has had the highest number of deforestation alerts since 2015.

UK aid for Afghanistan in 2021 has been cut by 87%. Mr Raab has just said on @BBCr4today he will now increase it by 10% instead. That's better but the cut itself should never have been made. The cut from 0.7 to 0.5 is illegal. Cutting aid to Afghanistan was always wrong choice

[Co-Impact @coimpactcollab]

Taking advantage of the agility of entrepreneurs by integrating their responses into mainstream, public and donor-led, response efforts increases the extent/speed by which hard-to-reach last mile is brought along. https://t.co/LhXx4xSytn https://t.co/SFvimeWKrf

To teachers across the country, as we end this unprecedented school year: You’ve been vital sources of knowledge, support, and comfort for students, parents, and your community. I’ve seen it and experienced it with my own kids. Today, and every day, we say thank you.
