Great to hear from @HennaVirkkunen at the @EMInternational #DemocracyAlive2025 summit today on the @EU_Commission plans for the European Democracy Shield, ongoing investigations into digital platforms and shaping the future of tech in Europe.

Delighted to join Commissioner @GlennMicallef today and share some insights from the work of the @CFG_ThinkTank’s Foresight team. There’s a lot coming down the tracks at Europe’s political leaders and it was a privilege to hear the perspectives of a wide range of groups.

And some personal news… Delighted to be joining @CFG_ThinkTank in March as their new CEO. Never a more urgent time to be accelerating work on advanced technology governance, and I’m simply thrilled to be joining this outstanding team.

My thoughts ahead of @COP28_UAE

@COP28_UAE @thomaslingard, Global Head of Sustainability, Environment @unilever, discusses how we can unlock the economic potential of renewable energy.

This is the analysis you need if you’re struggling with this week in the U.K. and thinking about what to do next. Thanks @Bankfieldbecky

This is cynical beyond belief. The PM is pretending to halt frightening proposals that simply do not exist. He is doing it to turn the environment into a US-style political wedge issue - something the UK has avoided all my political life. Sunak is chucking the environment into

Well, this is going to make a lot of people, including a lot of businesses, very, very angry.

“87% of youth under 30 live in the Global South” I learned this yesterday at the launch of the Chrysalis Youth Fund. That means that when we speak about youth, and support systems for youth, the room should be 87% Global South.

This interview is worth a read. AI brings serious opportunities but also serious risks. We’re hearing more about the former than the latter. And yet forewarned is forearmed. #technology #artificialintelligence #sustainability
