"The protection of children and their right to a healthy environment goes hand in hand". Young indigenous leader, Taissa, (13) from the Brazilian Amazon, addressed experts in child protection and each one of us, reminding us that when we destroy the forests, we are leaving children unprotected. Forests, severely affected by climate change, are the sources of food. Unprecedented droughts that disrupt river transportation, impede children's access to schools and health services. Taissa's point is clear: protecting children implies protecting the environment they need to survive and thrive. That is why World Vision Latinoamérica y Caribe is committed to children in the Amazon, the Central American Dry Corridor and other contexts to ensure their fundamental right to live in a healthy environment. #DíadelAmbiente #WorldEnvironmentDay #Environment #SustainableDevelopment #forests #childProtection #sustainability

The Health20 Summit 2024 ends today at the World Health Organisation in Geneva. Launched in 2018, the two-day annual Summit is an independent platform that supports the G20 Presidency agendas. 📣 Brazil has held the G20 presidency since December 2023 - its term ends on 30 November 2024. 💡 The H20 summit is a collaborative effort to unite the global health community, political and financial sectors to jointly tackle global health challenges. Through strategic partnerships and political action, the objective is to foster healthier and more sustainable societies and economies, aligning with the United Nations 2030 targets and beyond. 🔦 This year's theme: 'The future of health diplomacy in a changing world'. ⚡ As part of its engagement with the G20 Health Working Group, the World Economic Forum's Centre for Health & Healthcare participated in high-level discussions at the Summit, highlighting a number of global issues, from tackling antimicrobial resistance, access to care and medicine, to closing the women's health gap.

Let's talk about Powerful Partnerships for Social Impact! In 2022, The Sustainability Institute and The Mandela Rhodes Foundation (MRF) joined forces, blending exceptional leadership training with profound sustainability skills for the remarkable scholars in their second-year program. From the outset, our partnership transcended transactional boundaries; it felt like a convergence of minds, hearts, and missions. However, partnerships, even when seemingly aligned 'on paper', often fall short of their full potential. Every year I am invited to speak to the scholars alongside MRF CEO Judy Sikuza about what makes for impactful partnerhships. Here are my own reflections: 1) Values: Are both organisations' values truly aligned? It goes beyond what's stated on websites, extending to how these values are embodied in our daily actions. 2) Ego: Is everyone committed to serving the greater good and the impact we aspire to achieve? Or are personal agendas and ego driving the collaboration? 3) Courageous Conversations: Can we engage in difficult dialogues with humility, deep listening, and the courage to challenge constructively? 4) Trust: Have our actions cultivated enough trust that we can openly address challenges and mistakes, confident that we can overcome them and emerge stronger? What makes this partnership particularly fulfilling for me is not only engaging with the scholars but also collaborating with the dynamic and super fun team at MRF, especially Judy Sikuza, Coralie Pearl Anyetei, and Edward Keenan Jacobs. 🌻

Has the situation of indigenous peoples in Brazil improved in the first year of the Lula Administration? According to the Indigenous Missionary Council (#CIMI), a prophetic arm of the Catholic Church and long-time strategic partner, the answer is no. A heartbreaking new report, entitled “Violence against Indigenous Peoples in #Brazil”, containing an avalanche of data, spread out over 252 pages, presenting (a) cases of violence against property; (b) violence against people; and (c) violence due to the omission of public authorities. This report deserves full attention of policymakers and law enforcers. As highlighted, the first year of the new federal government under President #Lula was characterized by the reinstatement of monitoring actions and suppression of invaders in some Indigenous territories, but the demarcation of lands, protection actions and community assistance remained insufficient. Throughout several regions, the institutional environment of attacks on #indigenouspeoples’ rights reverberated in the continuity of invasions, conflicts and #violence against the indigenous communities, and the maintaining of high numbers of assassinations, suicides, and child mortality among the native people. In sum, 2023 was a year with few advances in the demarcation of Indigenous Lands, the continuity of the invasion, the damage to Indigenous heritage, and conflicts related to territorial rights. As #Brazil's #indigenouspeoples are teetering on the edge of functional destruction, so are we. Let there be no doubt: if humanity fails on indigenous peoples, we fail on everything. 🙏🏾🌎🌳 See full report below, or download in the following link: https://lnkd.in/dGSE3Vmh

Yesterday I had the opportunity, in my role as a Program Officer at Global Foundation for Girls, to present at the Funders for Birth Justice and Equity 2024 Birth Equity Funders Summit. The topic: Unlocking Potential in Birth Justice Funding: Why BIPOC-Led Funding Intermediaries are a Critical Resource to Achieve Racial and Socioeconomic Equity in Philanthropic Giving. At a time when all aspects of philanthropic practice are being reexamined through the lens of racial equity and social justice, funders are undertaking a fresh look at funding intermediaries as a potentially integral component of strategy. Intermediaries connect funders to grassroots organizations and causes which they otherwise would have unlimited reach or knowledge. In 2019, over 47% of organizations-led by people of color were the greatest benefactors of giving from funding intermediaries, according to the Mid-South Philanthropy Network’s Racial Equity Audit. Beyond serving as a critical source of funding, intermediaries are a necessary resource to help narrow the current disparities that exist for BIPOC-led organizations in the areas of capacity building, technical assistance, administrative services, and strategic development. Participants were provided insights into maximizing impact and dismantling systemic barriers by learning about the nimble and innovative approaches intermediaries employ to support grassroots birth equity initiatives.

A promising piece from great leaders #Brazil President #Lula and Gilbert F. Houngbo in Project Syndicate about how social justice is the way towards a more sustainable world and the achivement of the #SDGs: "At the same time, the #climate crisis continues to wreak havoc on the planet and vulnerable communities. The last 12 months have been the hottest on record, with far-reaching implications for billions of people’s lives, livelihoods, and health. Excessive heat alone affects 2.4 billion people – representing 70% of the global workforce – and kills close to 19,000 workers each year. Moreover, owing to droughts and other factors, #hunger continues to spread, and basic needs are going unfulfilled. The rewards of development increasingly appear to have been monopolized by a privileged few. And if all these developments were not bad enough, wars and conflicts that have already claimed the lives of millions of innocent people seem to have become more entrenched." https://lnkd.in/e_WuRB6R

Today, I join the world in launching the #EmptyPlatescampaign. This coincides with the announcement of the G20 Brazilian-led Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, as well as the release of the UN's annual State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World #SOFI 2024 report. This report provides the latest data on global hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition. Hundreds of millions of people go to bed hungry every night. I deeply understand the pain of facing hunger, because me & my family have experience it countless times. This empty plate represents one million plates of people who sleep hungry. I stand with World Vision and #HungryForAct to urge #G20 governments to implement a global plan to end the #globalfoodcrisis. No more #emptyplates.
