“Did you hear what I just said?” she asked, in the middle of her speech. The room bellowed, “Yes!” “Is my English O.K.?” The audience laughed. Thunberg’s face flickered, but she did not smile. “Because I’m beginning to wonder.” #ClimateActionNow newyorker.com/news/daily-com…

Do you expect the @UN to plan strategically and act quickly, upholding the mandates given?
Then you must argue for a funding model that allows this to happen. Predicable core funding is key. Scattered project funding weakens the UN and its impact.
It’s the support of our #PartnersAtCore that enable @UNFPA to rapidly respond to crises and save lives. Core resources help us keep delivering for women and girls, no matter where they are.

More than 1 million people were systematically murdered in just 100 days during the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.
