So sorry to hear that ICTSD is closing- unfortunately the issues of trade and development are growing more, not less, important and the need for non-biased policy advice is even more critical in our highly politicized debates. But ICTSD played a vital role- you will be missed.

And reduces risk and costs of failure!
Selection of locally adapted tree genetic diversity using tools developed @BioversityInt for deeply changed and changing climates, hugely increases survival rates and growth of trees planted and impact of reforestation.

I normally avoid political posts on Twitter but I feel compelled to share a message from a man in his final days that I hope our friends around the world understand and believe- know that there are those of us who are working every day for a better world.
To our allies: bipartisan majorities of Americans remain pro-free trade, pro-globalization & supportive of alliances based on 70 years of shared values. Americans stand with you, even if our president doesn’t.

A diversified diet is key to a healthy diets- we must integrate agrobiodiversity into our food and agriculture systems. @BioversityInt Agrobiodiversity Index will help us measure and manage agrobiodiversity in diets.

The Agrobiodiversity Index is a key science based indicator of nutritious diets, resilient food systems, and sustainable production- to inspire and incentivize companies AND countries to use the planet’s wealth of AGRICULTURAL biodiversity
@jrockstrom from @sthlmresilience highlights the importance of science-based targets by sharing some early work in development under the @theGEF #globalcommons initiative on the formations of the #EarthCommission and the 'Earth Targets Platform' #EATforum18 #Foodcanfixit
