Upholding human rights isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s good for business. Conducting operations with a human-focused approach strengthens business, workforces and communities. It drives innovation, resilience and trust. #HumanRights #UNGlobalCompact

At today’s ECOSOC Forum on follow-up from #FfD4, we heard from stakeholders across the financial ecosystem on aligning public and private capital for sustainable development. Closing the SDG financing gap is not about more capital, it is about directing it toward impact at scale.

This #EarthDay, ambition meets action. The private sector must set science-based targets, implement credible transition plans, and embed nature across operations — to deliver a just, resilient, net-zero future. Business shapes markets. Let's shape them well.

Today is #EarthDay. How we utilize resources is both a business risk and a significant opportunity. The shift from linear to circular is good for the planet and makes business sense. Protecting these systems is not separate from economic growth—it is fundamental to it.

On the International Day of Women in Industry, the role of business is clear: remove barriers, invest in skills and expand pathways to leadership. No economy reaches its full potential while half of its talent remains underrepresented. #IDWI @UNIDO

From Washington, DC at the IMF and World Bank Spring Meetings — the focus is shifting from ambition to execution. As uncertainty grows, energy, supply chains and capital flows are core risks and investment opportunities. Protecting these systems is fundamental to economic growth.

Resilience must be built in from the start, not retrofitted. And scaling this economy will demand a common language, credible standards and more effective de-risking across public and private actors.

The message was direct: the #investment case is strong, but capital is not moving fast enough or at the scale required. Instruments like #BlueBonds and blended finance can unlock opportunity — but only with stronger pipelines, clearer risk frameworks and coordinated action.

At our Ocean Investment Roundtable in Washington, DC, leaders from finance, Government and industry convened around a single question: how do we scale investment into a sustainable ocean economy?

What we teach today will shape how business leads tomorrow. At the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business, I had the opportunity to engage with students on the role of business in addressing today’s global challenges, from climate and inequality to growing geopolitical complexity.
