?? Thrilled to be at the T20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro #T20Brasil in the context of the #G20Brazil representing Wildlife Habitat Council. This momentous event gathers thought leaders and policymakers dedicated to addressing our world’s most pressing challenges. Today, we heard inspiring words from former President of Chile, Michelle Bachelet, reminding us that "We can’t give up; we must continue together." She emphasized the importance of shaping a more inclusive and just global system, highlighting that supporting women’s organizations is not just a moral imperative—it’s a prerequisite for sustainable development. I am proud to have co-authored a T20 Policy Brief on 'Debt-for-Nature/Climate Swaps' for Effective Climate and Biodiversity Action in Developing Countries together with Beatriz Nofal. https://lnkd.in/dBMzFeSk Let’s take this opportunity to work together to ensure global goals are achieved. Supporting inclusivity and innovation is not just smart—it’s essential for a better future for all! #T20Summit #WHC #BusinessandNature #G20Brazil #WomenEmpowerment #SDGs
