AI carries the same biases as the datasets it uses.

"If AI scrapes poverty porn, the result will be poverty porn, so it doesn’t solve the problem.

The no 1 rule in photography still applies here: you only read a picture through your cultural leanings."

“You would think the known facts [about SIDS] would propel us to the front or near to the front of the line when it comes to equitable access to climate and developmental finance. You would be very wrong.”

@gastonbrowne at @ODI_Global's event on climate resilience finance.

"The need to repay external debt worth over 80% of GDP has been a factor in Brazil’s prioritising of soybean exports over the protection of the Amazon...external debt equivalent to 101% of GDP is why Mozambique has been trying to expand its coal & gas production in recent years."

The global #DebtCrisis is a major barrier to #ClimateAction. #DebtCancellation for countries on the front lines of #ClimateChange can be a highly effective climate solution.
