The Aussies are back! 🇦🇺 #FIFAWorldCup

Just wrapped the first-ever Rio Nature & Climate Week. Grateful for the chance to have candid conversations with @JMDBarroso, @Cop30noBrasil, @ARDonwahi @diegoscotti @micksheldrick and many others on what it actually takes to deliver in a divided world - not just what sounds right, but what’s hard, practical, and achievable. From geopolitics and the energy transition to the Amazon bioeconomy, education, school meals, family planning, culture, democracy and civic participation - the week was a reminder that lasting change only happens when people are at the center. Huge thanks to @InstAmazonia21, @OpenSociety, @energeaglobal @PrefeituraRio @PeleEnergyGroup and the @GlblCtzn team for helping make this possible.

Every child deserves the chance to learn, play, and thrive. Today, we announced a new project with @RightToPlayIntl, aligned with @GlblCtzn. No Child on the Sidelines will bring sport-based learning and quality education to children and youth in vulnerable communities worldwide.

We welcome Canada’s CAD $5 million announcement for children’s education globally through the No Child on the Sidelines initiative! Thank you, Minister @randeepssarai🇨🇦📚 In collaboration with @RightToPlayIntl and @CanadaDev, this project aligns with the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund to bring play-based learning to the kids who need it most. Of this commitment, CAD $2.25 million will go directly in grants to grassroots organizations in developing countries, with additional funds to strengthen their capacities and foster shared learning opportunities. The goal? ✨ Improve access to education ✨ Create safe spaces for kids to learn and play ✨ Build resilience and life skills

Another year older, another trip around the sun. Thanks for all the messages (and to this little one here!)

There’s a lot happening right now—from global shocks pushing millions toward poverty, to real opportunities to act. I wrote about why this moment matters—and how efforts like Global Citizen NOW are trying to turn pressure into progress. → open.substack.com/pub/michae…

In an increasingly complex global environment, we need leaders who can bring sense, direction, and focus to the conversation. That is what @GlblCtzn NOW is doing by bringing together some of the voices the world most wants to hear from right now, including Pedro Sánchez. DM me if you want to join the conversation.
