a world of hunger in a world of plenty

Over 300M people face severe hunger—unacceptable in a world with enough food for all. At the #G7 Development Ministers' Meeting, I'm urging world leaders to take immediate action against the conflict, climate change, and economic shocks driving food insecurity.

farmers and communities building a sustainable future for their families and communities

Community-level change, starts in the #community. We have staff in every country of operation, working closely with farmers to make sure they have the tools, resources, and knowledge they need to transform their land and livelihoods. Thank you, #team, for your tireless work!

standing up for humanitarians !

Humanitarians delivering life-saving aid are being targeted—it’s unacceptable. We are #NotATarget. Global leaders must act to keep our colleagues safe, so we can continue to deliver desperately needed support. Thank you for the conversation, @SumiSomaskanda @BBCWorld #UNGA79



thank you for advocating

At #UNGA, I advocated for gender equality. Empowering women is more than just achieving equality—it’s about recognizing women as powerful agents of change and essential drivers of progress. 👇🏼



love the response!

"We don't have experience in bankrupting the country, but we will gain experience in building it" - Harini Amarasuriya



again we ask "where are the women"

Women's leadership is needed more than ever as decisions are made on global challenges. #WomenLeaders met today at #UNGA where we hear “Her Excellency” far fewer times than "His Excellency". Representation matters. Speech by @unwomenchief: unwo.men/n59N50TuJ6H #Beijing30

Women in #Afghanistan received the vote in 1919 The way this culture has been upended a cautionary tale for the rest of the world Today a female cat in Afghanistan has more rights than a woman This is extraordinary, suppression of the natural law It is one of the greatest honors…

Thank you @GWLVoices for joining @1for8billion and @UNAUK to help launch the campaign for a woman SG! Our full policy platform is now available here: 1for8billion.org



absolutely which is why the next @UN Secretary General should be a Woman and that message needs to be repeated, reinforced , advocated.........and acted on....

Gender equality is not just a goal, it's the foundation of a just, sustainable future. 📍UN Women is at the @UN General Assembly's 79th session to call for delivery on the commitments made to advance equal rights for women and girls. Follow us at #UNGA! unwo.men/ggxr50Tqf0l

great use of technology to support monitoring

In Kenya, the Trees for the Future and Catona Climate teams are together conducting #drone surveys of Forest Garden projects. Using drone technology, we can better understand how farmers are transforming their land, restoring ecosystems, and building sustainable livelihoods.

a more sustainable approach for communities

🌳 Step into the peace of a Forest Garden🎶 Birdsong fills the air in this thriving landscape, brought to life by the Forest Garden Approach. Through planting diverse crops and 1000s of trees, farmers are not just restoring land-they’re building resilient ecosystems & communities
