It’s inspiring to see so much passion these days for dealing with climate change, and to know that the world has set some ambitious goals for solving it. What we need now are practical plans to reach those goals.

Dr. Tunji Funsho’s work with @Rotary was essential in stopping wild polio in Africa and will help create a polio-free world for all. A well-deserved recognition.
On Aug. 25, 2020, Nigeria was declared polio-free, clearing the virus from its last redoubt in all of Africa. "The person who did more than any other to drive polio to continent-wide extinction was Dr. Tunji Funsho," writes @jeffreykluger #TIME100 time.com/collection/100…
This honor is well deserved. COVID-19 is not just a health crisis—it is also now a food crisis, and @WFP is there to respond. I’m inspired by the thousands of people in the organization who have committed their lives to fighting hunger. b-gat.es/3luvJYq

To prevent the worst effects of climate change, we need innovation across all sectors—especially in the hardest to decarbonize sectors—to get us on a viable path to net-zero emissions.
Faster innovation is essential for ramping up the necessary technologies, many of which are still in the early stages of development. This is particularly the case for areas like trucking, shipping, aviation, steel, cement & chemicals. Go deeper ➡️ iea.li/3m9w0Ru pic.twitter.com/G5p2cQ6wXt
