[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Earlier this week, Michelle and I called our friend @KamalaHarris. We told her we think she’ll make a fantastic President of the United States, and that she has our full support. At this critical moment for our country, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure she wins in November. We hope you’ll join us.

RIP. Bob Solow an absolute giant in Economics, has passed away at age 99. Tremendously influential in the profession and one of the key founders of the MIT Economics department as we live it today. Will be sorely missed.

Wow, what an uplifting start to @COP28_UAE - a historic decision on a new fund for loss and damage. 👏 🙏 to Outi Honkatukia and Richard Sherman for successfully steering the work leading to this and to #COP28 host 🇦🇪, 🇩🇪 and many others for their generous pledges.

[Loss and Damage Collaboration (L&DC) @LossandDamage]

At #COP28, Richard Sherman, Co-Chair of the Transitional Committee of the #LossAndDamage reports back on the outcome of the work of the transitional committee. “We have delivered on our task, it might not be satisfactory to all... we welcome #CivilSoicety voices shouting at us”.

[Licypriya Kangujam @LicypriyaK]

BREAKING FROM COP28: UAE 🇦🇪 and Germany 🇩🇪 are committing $100 million each to the UN Climate Loss and Damage fund. US is committing $17.5 million, Japan $10 million.

It’s a good start but still not enough!

We must leverage the power of collective action and utilize the #DistrictDevelopmentModel as a framework to implement the #SDGs - urgent action is needed to address gaps of inequality, poverty, poor infrastructure, health services, peace & stability.

[Justice for Lindani Myeni @Justice4Lindani]

The new evidence video clearly shows that Lindani Myeni intended to go to the IKCSON Temple but he was at the wrong address next door. It’s a reasonable mistake in the dark. He removed his shoes and wore his ceremonial headdress. he was polite. The 911 caller Sabine Wang lied.

[Nachhaltigkeitsrat @RNE_DE]

Thanks to all speakers for the lively debate during today's launch event! We discussed the multiple roles of multi-stakeholder bodies for delivery of the #GlobalGoals. Let’s jointly keep up the exchange & collaboration!
