The world left its fight against tuberculosis unfinished — how can we complete the job? If we get it right, the world could save more than 1.2 million lives every year.

In the U.S., tuberculosis deaths are rare. In some parts of Africa, they’re thousands of times more common. We have better tools than ever, but they remain out of reach for too many. What’s missing is equitable access.

If we can’t live without water, why are we poisoning our rivers? If we can’t live without forests, why are we cutting them down? If we can’t live without soil, why are we stripping it of life?

We depend on nature, not the other way around. So why are we pushing our best ally to the brink?

Learning how many kids were dying from diarrhea back in 1997—when I never worried about it with my own kids—led me to get involved in global health: gatesnot.es/4kNtugR

To me, this is the most remarkable thing about global health: With a relatively small amount of money, you can do a great deal of good for a great many people. This is money well spent, and we should go back to spending it—now.

A child dies of malnutrition every 15 seconds, as 185,535 boxes of special food for starving children are stacked in a warehouse in Rhode Island, paid for by American taxpayers. After shutting USAID, the Trump administration is just sitting on the boxes. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/o...

When the United States and other governments suddenly cut their aid budgets, I know for a fact that more children will die. Here’s the proof I’m showing Congress: gatesnot.es/4nnV8Us

Uganda accused of ‘state bigotry’ and attacks on LGBTQ+ people Report from Human Rights Watch criticises Museveni regime for arbitrary arrests and detentions, violence and extortion since draconian new law enacted

A new report from Human Rights Watch spotlights the widespread discrimination and violence unleashed upon LGBTQ+ people since Uganda enacted the world’s harshest anti-gay laws two years ago. You should never be outlawed or abused for loving who you love: www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Dirty air kills 8.1 million people a year. Lead exposure is linked to millions more deaths.

This week, countries are fine-tuning plans for a new science-policy panel to provide robust, independent information on chemicals, waste and pollution prevention.

A big step forward in the fight against Alzheimer’s: The FDA approved the first blood test to help diagnose the disease. Breakthroughs like this will make earlier, easier diagnosis possible—bringing us closer to better treatments and, someday, a cure.

The last 25 years have shown us what’s possible. The next 25 will depend on whether the world keeps showing up for the children who need it most: gatesnot.es/43gTIl5

No mother or child should die from a preventable cause. No generation should live in fear of deadly infectious diseases. And no one should be denied the chance to thrive because of where they were born. gatesnot.es/4m5pSc3

We have an opportunity to save more lives around the world than ever before—and I want to do even more to help. That's why I'm giving away virtually all of my wealth through the Gates Foundation over the next 20 years.

The planet is speaking through nature.

It teaches us balance, zero waste, and resilience.

Plastic pollution won’t solve itself, but together, we can.

Today, on #WorldEnvironmentDay, we rise to act and #BeatPlasticPollution.

I was wrong. Now I believe that supporting Ukraine is, first of all, supporting America, - said Trump's spiritual advisor Mark Burns.

According to him, he advocated "for the termination of US support for Ukraine" until he visited Kryvyi Rih and saw the horror with his own eyes.
