A few weeks back I wrapped an incredible couple of years with BB Partners.

It’s taken me everywhere from Nairobi to Ottawa, working across the future of global health, how climate change is impacting diseases like Malaria and NTDs, the global rollback in gender rights, & AI ethics.

I just tried it out and it was simple and intuitive to use.

2025 is key to aligning global commitments on gender equality and climate action.

New research sets the first baseline for how the G7, G20 & UNFCCC address the gender-climate nexus, to collectively track progress & pushback in the face of rising backlash & climate delay tactics: buff.ly/pyRJCe1 🔖

There didn't seem to be a Starter Pack about philanthropy, so I made one! Let me know who else should be on it :-)

This is people doing philanthropy, studying it, writing about it, advising on it, creating/ collating data to aid it.
