Great to gather with women economists at the Globelics conference. We discussed how we move beyond fragmented policies toward a unified framework that aligns finance & industrial policy for inclusive growth – centred on equality.

Great to speak about our school meals research at a food systems event at #COP30 hosted by @fao.org and The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition. Designed well, school meals are an opportunity to bring climate, nutrition, and economic goals into alignment.

Great to speak with the team at BNDES at #COP30 celebrating 17 years of the Amazon Fund. The Fund has a unique opportunity to work with communities – but inter-ministerial coordination is crucial to support public-purpose finance.

Great to meet with #COP30 president Amb do Lago and share the work of UCL IIPP on the public value of the arts and culture. For the first time, culture and arts had a central role in COP's programme — emphasising the crucial role of both in sustainable economies.

This morning, Indigenous protesters peacefully blocked #COP30's entrance, demanding a meeting with President Lula. Forums like COP30 are crucial for global accord, but can feel removed from the frontlines.

Speaking today about state capacity that makes space for local knowledge ➡️ buff.ly/cCKE7kv

Great to meet with Johan Rockström & others yesterday at #COP30. Water flows through all sectors—from food security to energy to health. As our report argues, achieving climate goals requires recognising water as a global common good.

Climate policy is health policy: @who.int estimates that climate breakdown will cause approx. 250k additional deaths per year between 2030 and 2050. This crisis won’t be solved without state capacity.

10 years since the Paris Agreement – it’s time to move from agreement to action.

At #COP30 this week we’ll be launching our new report on Brazil’s state capacity agenda – and its implications for wider climate governance.

Details on the launch, and our other engagements in Belém below.

Bill Gates is right to say temperature targets should not substitute development goals.

The solution isn't playing a zero-sum game on climate & health; it’s building the state capacity to do both.

The choice between “big states” and private companies is a false one - smart states know how to catalyse private sector investment.

For a green transition to succeed, climate commitments must be central to economic policy.

In our paper launching at #COP30, we argue that mission-oriented approaches to country platforms don’t just crowd in capital, but align finance & policy towards climate goals.

10 years after COP21, the world isn't short of targets. But it is short on progress.

#COP30 must shift from commitments to implementation—building the state capacity needed to turn goals into outcomes.
