A beautiful country 🇵🇦 — my 9- & 7-yr-olds still ask us to move back after months there. #Panama’s diversity shines through its people, culture & landscapes. One of the best places for expats — & a perfect host for #IUCNCongress. Indigenous communities live in harmony w/ nature.
📢 BREAKING NEWS: Panamá will host the 7th IUCN World Protected and Conserved Areas Congress in 2027 — marking the first time this global conservation forum comes to Mesoamerica.
Bringing together thousands of experts, Indigenous leaders, policymakers, practitioners, and civil society, the Congress sets the stage for transformative action and global collaboration.

As global legal & ethical frameworks on AI take shape, there is a growing risk that Indigenous Peoples & their knowledge systems are left out. To build just & inclusive technologies, the meaningful participation of Indigenous Peoples is essential.

Happy Birthday to me!! :-)
Thrilled to release 'We Are One (Raghupati Raghava)' on my special day!! A 2-year journey, filmed at various sacred sites. This music video celebrates Unity in Diversity, highlighting the shared essence of all spiritual paths. If you resonate with the message, I'd be grateful if you'd share it on your socials. Birthday wish granted :-)

Tackling plastic pollution means transforming the entire plastic life cycle — from production to waste management.
Starting next week, countries meet at @UNGeneva to negotiate a global treaty to #BeatPlasticPollution & create a sustainable future.

A decade after the Paris Agreement, ambition exists but urgency is missing.
At #AMCENat40, the Paris 10 Dialogue brought African voices and global partners together to ask: how do we accelerate implementation and make climate promises real?
