🌧️The majority of the world’s food — 66% of all crop production — still comes from rainfed agriculture.

Yet, as climate change & deforestation alter local precipitation patterns, farmers will find it increasingly difficult to grow rainfed crops. Get the data: go.wri.org/water-risks #WorldWaterDay

The migrants Trump expelled to Panama weren’t given the chance to apply for asylum here, & now they find themselves in deplorable conditions & no sense of what happens next.

They include:

Families & children
Afghans who fought the Taliban
Iranian Christians
& others

THE SDG HUSTLE THEY'RE HIDING 🚨

Want to know why the elites aren't hitting those UN goals? Tax havens hold $36 TRILLION while they cry about "funding gaps."

73% of companies claim SDG support but only 20% have real targets??!! Wha??

The game is rigged, but community solutions work.

While everyone virtue signals, smart money is flowing to climate tech ($70B last year).

The gap between promises and action? That's where the asymmetric returns live.

Don't follow the herd. Follow the implementation gap.
