🌱 Indigenous leaders at #COP30 are showing what real climate and health leadership looks like.

Those closest to the impact have the solutions β€” but too often the least power and resources to adapt.

Our campaign launches Monday.

It’s time to #RepairNotRetreat.

We’re at #COP30 🌍

Get ready to join our call for the UK to #RepairNotRetreat.

Because climate shocks, aid cuts + fragile health systems β†’ people are being left without care.

Our new campaign is about justice-led funding that puts people first. Launching Monday.

🌍 Every child has the right to survive and thrive β€” but millions are still left behind.

In Sierra Leone, UK support brought care closer to families, training thousands of health workers.

On #WorldChildrensDay, we call on the UK to protect what works.

It was also great to see insights from Gideon Rabinowitz at
@bondngo.bsky.social reflected here.

Strengthening the UK’s role in global health is a shared mission, and it’s vital that our sector speaks with clarity and urgency in moments like this.

UK pledges Β£850 million to boost global health, down 15% from 2022 The UK’s diminished pledge comes amid cuts to global health from other major donors.

Thanks to @mggalvin.bsky.social and @euronews.com for including our reaction to the UK’s new Global Fund pledge.

As our Director Katie Husselby says in the piece: cuts like this will be felt fast β€” in lives lost, rising infections and weakened health defences. πŸ‘‡

The Global Fund has saved 70 million lives. The UK’s renewed pledge keeps that story going - but at a reduced level that risks slowing the pace of progress.

The UK govt's reduced pledge to the Global Fund will impact HIV care for marginalised ppl who have already been impacted by the US funding cuts. This is a major blow to ending AIDS by 2030.

UK risks many children’s lives with Β£150m cut to fund fighting deadly diseases The cut from Β£1bn to Β£850m pledged to the Global Fund to Fight Aids, TB and Malaria – risking 250,000 lives – was revealed by The Independent last week

When food systems don’t nourish, health and equity suffer.

In #BurkinaFaso, women farmers are improving child nutrition & resilience through diverse, nutrient-rich crops.

On #WorldFoodDay, we call on the UK to invest in nutrition & co-create a #GlobalHealth Equity Strategy.
