Last year’s hot season, which runs from March until the arrival of the monsoon in late May or early June, was one of the most extreme and economically disruptive on record. This year’s could rival it https://t.co/LaqhRXquEY

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Sir Fazle Hasan Abed, a legendary personality in Bangladesh's development sector and role model for many developing countries. Sir Fazle led the fight against diarrhoeal diseases through his pioneering work on oral rehydration.

[The LEGO Foundation @LEGOfoundation]

The LEGO Foundation is deeply saddened at the demise of Sir Fazle Hasan Abed, founder of our partner @BRACworld. Abed Bhai, as he was lovingly called, was recognised across the world for his contributions in social development.

[BRAC @BRACworld]

He was Sir Fazle Hasan Abed to the world. To us, he was simply "Abed Bhai". Thank you, Abed bhai.

Mo Ibrahim asks the question 'What is the South?' Level and stage of development and not a geographical concept says Mohan Kumar. Perhaps a connection of countries with a difficult past? Louise Mushikiwabo #RiseOfTheSouth @BRACworld @ParisPeaceForum #ParisPeaceForum2019

Président Macron parle d'une crise politique mondiale. Une fracture dans le système. On a besoin de multilateralisme pour combattre les défis et d'un agenda commun. @ParisPeaceForum2019 @BRACworld #ParisPeaceForum2019
