AI & the algorithms shaping our lives are too consequential to be controlled only by a few companies, or optimized only to monetize attention & outrage.

We need build guardrails, accountability & shared standards.

Humanity must steer technology, not the other way around.

Pollution is a major driver of disease. Harmful chemicals travel far beyond where they are released, contaminating air, water & food systems and contributing to millions of premature deaths a year.

That’s why we must #BeatChemicalPollution at its source, using a #OneHealth approach: https://t.co/qnuzSoc7af

We need bold investments in resilient water & sanitation systems to make safe water, sanitation & hygiene a reality for all.
