Today is World Wetlands Day 🌿💧

A moment to recognize how essential wetlands are to water security, food systems and climate resilience, and how urgently they need protection.
@iwmi.bsky.social

Healthy wetlands sustain biodiversity, nourish communities and build climate resilience. On #WorldWetlandsDay, we celebrate these vital ecosystems and the work of @cgiar.org, @iwmi.bsky.social and @worldfish.bsky.social to protect water and aquatic food systems,

📺 @cgiar.org: Who We Are; This film captures what I see every day: science in action, alongside farmers and partners, building climate-resilient food systems. This film is a reminder that science offers real hope for a secure future 🌱🔬 https://on.cgiar.org/45HaDPT

Remembering Salma Kadry: champion for climate, peace and security

🖤 Heartbroken by the loss of Salma Kadry. She gave voice to the MENA region and championed gender-responsive, inclusive approaches when they mattered most. She will be deeply missed and her legacy will continue to guide our work.

🎆 Happy New Year! ✨ Wishing everyone a bright and joyful 2026! May we continue to grow, innovate and build a more resilient world together.

✨ 💫 As the year ends, I’m reflecting on moments that filled me with purpose. Being on the 2025 #TIME100 list of the world’s most influential people is one of them. Grateful for everyone advancing science and looking forward to carrying this momentum into the year ahead.

✨ Before the year slips away, I’m taking a quiet moment to honor what this year gave and to set intention for what comes next. Wishing you a year filled with purpose, perspective, and moments that ground you and remind you what matters most 💫

🌱🌍 As we close the year, one lesson stands out: real solutions begin with people. A moment captured earlier this year at the World Economic Forum

📰 ✨ Deeply honored to be named one of New African Magazine’s 100 Most Influential Africans, and especially meaningful to be recognized as a Change Maker. I’m proud to contribute to the science and partnerships shaping a sustainable future 🌾
@cgiar.org

✨ It's the end of the year and I’m looking back on the conversations and collaborations that shaped it. Thank you to the scientists and partners who continue to push this work forward. Here’s to building on this momentum in the year ahead 💫

✨ At this turning point between years, I’m reflecting on one of the most important conversations we’ve had this year at @financialtimes.com Live in Tokyo 🇯🇵 Solutions only work when they are affordable, accessible and designed with smallholder farmers in mind 🌱

🤖 The launch of AI Agriculture Ecosystem in Abu Dhabi reminded me why I believe so strongly in the power of science. AgriLLM, CGIAR AI Hub, and new advances in water and climate-resilient crops show how AI delivers impact when science leads. @ifad.org @iwmi.bsky.social

📣 I had the privilege of witnessing the signing of the first @qatar_fund agreement with @worldfish.bsky.social - a USD 5M partnership to strengthen aquaculture & nutrition in Kenya and across Africa. Proud to see partnerships like this turning ambition into impact 👏 @billgates.bsky.social

🏆 A moment of recognition for dryland agriculture! Proud to see ICARDA receive the Almarai Prize - a well-deserved honor for over a decade of work strengthening food security across dry regions. Congratulations to all partners involved!

At #COP30, @cgiar.org and @fao.org's joint Food & Agriculture Pavilion was more than a venue. It’s was a platform for collaboration, scaling and action, bringing together CGIAR experts, key partners, farmers, and food systems experts from around the world.

@cop30

Great news from #COP30! Brazil‑led #RAIZAccelerator launched yesterday. @cgiar.org stands ready to turn restoration science into investable opportunities and de‑risk finance at scale — to restore 250M ha by 2050.
