Retweeted by The Rockefeller Foundation “Addressing energy poverty — giving people access to renewable electrification — can create half a billion jobs,” Rockefeller Foundation Pres. @rajshah says, adding that it’s “the only real path to get countries interested in a serious energy transition on a global basis.”
Retweeted by The Rockefeller Foundation At @ConcordiaSummit: “To overcome big disease burdens - smallpox polio, Ebola, now COVID-19 - we just need to do so much more to make vaccines available in lesser developed countries. We need to do the types of things that invest in health workers all across the world. - @rajshah
Retweeted by The Rockefeller Foundation “In fact, if you look at lower income countries that have low vaccination rates are four times more likely to generate variants of concern that will undermine the economic recovery in wealthier countries.” - @rajshah
Retweeted by The Rockefeller Foundation The world's poorest people continue to be left behind in global recovery efforts, while billionaires reached an all-time high of $10.2 trillion in wealth.
We need a Covid Charter to minimize both human vulnerability and the existential threat of climate change. #Concordia21
Retweeted by The Rockefeller Foundation One billion people live without access to one lightbulb's power in a year. 💡
In the 63 countries that are energy-poor, a transition to renewable energy can produce 1/2 billion jobs and real upward mobility.#Concordia211.k
"The world is at war with a pathogen, and during wartime we muster great resources to respond."

Retweeted by The Rockefeller Foundation Applauding the leadership of the @WhiteHouse for hosting a virtual summit at #UNGA76 to drive progress toward ending #Covid19, including by ensuring vaccines reach those who need them most.
The pandemic doesn't end until we are all protected.

Before #COVID, the federal govt was taxing 5.8M working people deeper into poverty, leaving many unable to cover an unexpected $400 expense. A stronger #EITC will help Americans weather an era of crisis.
