Today we launch our plan to get lifesaving aid to 114m people in greatest need on planet. We’re forced by cuts to hyper prioritise, but we’re determined to do as much as we can with what we have. We ask just 1% of what world spent on defence in 2024. humanitarianaction.info

There are so many inspiring stories of entrepreneurship coming out of refugee communities, & opportunities for businesses to support refugees, too - this is one more example of the importance of a whole-of-society approach & partnering with the business to save & improve lives.

Climate diplomacy is real & it’s a key part of tackling climate change. It goes beyond attending COP or going to Climate Week - as the work the Vanuatu Business Resilience Council is doing in this field shows, it’s about life-changing policies. Details on the CBi website.
