Honorees include Brazil's President Lula and 10 leaders working to improve health and nutrition in their communities NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- At its event, Goalkeepers 2024: Recipe for Progress, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation honored remarkable leaders who are advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (Global Goals) with solutions to keep people healthy and nourished in a rapidly warming world. The annual event took place during United Nations General Assembly week and was hosted by Janet Mbugua, media personality and anchor. The event, which highlighted opportunities to ensure better nutrition for all so everyone can reach their full potential, also featured special guests, including Jon Batiste, singer, songwriter, and composer; Christy Turlington Burns, founder and president of Every Mother Counts; Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; Saul Guerrero Oteyza, UNICEF's senior advisor on financing for child nutrition and development; Muhammad Ali Pate, coordinating minister for health and social welfare of Nigeria; and Marcus Samuelsson, award-winning celebrity chef and philanthropist. Adriana Diaz, co-host of CBS Mornings Plus, and Francine Lacqua, anchor for Bloomberg Television, served as session moderators. "Goalkeepers is about bringing together a community of global changemakers who champion the Sustainable Development Goals to energize and inspire each other to continue making progress," said Mark Suzman, CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. "This year, we're focused on the more than 400 million children who aren't getting the nutrients they need to grow and thrive. While climate change is making that challenge harder to solve, progress is possible. By scaling up existing tools, investing in promising research, and lifting up champions like the ones we're celebrating today, we can help ensure all children can reach their full potential—and build global resilience as the world gets hotter." In 2023, the World Health Organization estimated that 148 million children experienced stunting, a condition where children don't grow to their full potential mentally or physically, and 45 million children experienced wasting, a condition where children become weak and emaciated, leaving them at much greater risk of developmental delays and death. These are the most severe and irreversible forms of chronic and acute malnutrition. The event followed last week's release of the foundation's eighth annual Goalkeepers report, "A Race to Nourish a Warming World." The report finds that without immediate global action, climate change will condemn an additional 40 million children to stunting and 28 million more to wasting between 2024 and 2050. It highlights proven tools that are helping solve malnutrition, building people's resilience to the worst impacts of climate change, and further driving down childhood deaths. The report calls for renewed commitments to global health spending, including for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, the Global Fund, and the Child Nutrition Fund. Celebrating Global Goalkeepers The 2024 Global Goalkeeper Award, which recognizes a leader who has driven progress on a global scale toward achieving the Global Goals, was presented to Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. During his first term, President Lula launched Bolsa Familia, a robust anti-poverty and social inclusion program that helped lift millions out of poverty and reduce the nation's stunting rate from 37% to 7% over three decades. President Lula is building on this domestic legacy to champion the Global Alliance on Hunger and Poverty as the signature initiative of Brazil's G20 presidency. The initiative embraces proven, evidence-based strategies to improve food security, enhance health, reduce poverty, and promote equity at scale. The event also honored 10 Goalkeepers Champions—experts, innovators, advocates, and leaders from around the world—who are leading the charge towards a more nourished world: Dr. Tahmeed Ahmed of Bangladesh, Ladidi Bako-Aiyegbusi of Nigeria, Beza Beshah Haile of Ethiopia, Dr. Zahra Hoodbhoy of Pakistan, Dr. Nancy Krebs of the United States, Dr. Jemimah Njuki of Kenya, Dr. Sabin Nsanzimana of Rwanda, Lilian dos Santos Rahal of Brazil, Bhavani Shankar of the United Kingdom, and Ratan Tata of India.

Global study shows that our mental state starts to decline after only two hours of continuous desk-based working, but just 15 minutes of exercise can help to reverse the effects ASICS enlists Brian Cox to take on the role of the world's scariest boss to highlight the real threat to our mental health – the desk we work at every day. A global study shows our mental state starts to decline after only two hours of continuous desk-based working with stress levels rising significantly after four hours. However, ASICS's Desk Break experiment shows just 15 minutes of exercise can help to reverse the effects. The Public Service Announcement urges office workers to take a Desk Break to move their minds. LONDON, Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ahead of World Mental Health Day on 10 October, ASICS has enlisted actor Brian Cox to deliver a warning to the world to get away from their desks and move for their mental health in a powerful Public Service Announcement (PSA). ASICS' global State of Mind study, involving 26,000 participants, revealed a strong connection between sedentary behaviour and mental wellbeing with State of Mind scores declining the longer individuals remain inactive1. Further research into desk-based working found that after just two hours of continuous desk work State of Mind scores begin to drop and stress levels rise2. After four hours of uninterrupted desk time, workers' stress levels increased significantly by 18%. However, a new Desk Break experiment3 shows that just 15 minutes of movement can help to reverse the effects. The Desk Break experiment, overseen by Dr Brendon Stubbs from King's College London, found that when office workers added just 15 minutes of movement into their working day, their mental state improved by 22.5% with participants' overall State of Mind scores increasing from 62/100 to 76/100. The experiment showed that taking a daily Desk Break for just one week lowered stress levels by 14.7%, boosted productivity by 33.2% and improved focus by 28.6%. Participants reported feeling 33.3% more relaxed and 28.6% more calm and resilient. 79.2% of participants said they would be more loyal to their employers if offered regular movement breaks. In the PSA, Brian Cox plays the role of the world's scariest boss to highlight the silent threat to our mental health—the desk we work at every day. The PSA calls on office workers to put their mental health first by taking a Desk Break, a short movement break, during the working day. Watch the ASICS Desk Break PSA here. Emmy award winning actor Brian Cox said: "I've played some pretty intimidating characters in my time but who would have thought a desk could be scarier? It's great to see ASICS try and do something about this and encourage people to support their mental health through exercise. As I say in the film, run, jump, roller skate. I don't care. Just move for your mind." Across the world, ASICS is encouraging its office-based employees to move for their mental health by taking regular movement breaks. On World Mental Health Day, 10 October 2024, ASICS is inviting office workers to join the #DeskBreak movement and feel the mental benefits. Office workers who are able to take a 15-minute Desk Break* are encouraged to share an image of their empty desk, with images shared raising funds for mental health charities around the world. Dr Brendon Stubbs, a leading researcher in exercise and mental health from King's College London, said: "We have shown previously that just 15 minutes of exercise in leisure time can result in a meaningful improvement in people's State of Mind scores. But what surprised us with the Desk Break experiment was how powerful the 15 minute movement breaks were in improving wellbeing and reducing stress. It even changed people's perceptions of their workplace for the better." Tomoko Koda, Managing Executive Officer for ASICS comments: "At ASICS, we champion the power of movement, not just on the body, but also on the mind. It's why we're called ASICS – an acronym for the Latin 'Anima Sana in Corpore Sano' or 'Sound Mind in a Sound Body'. Our global study revealed that the hours spent at your desk for hours on end are having a real and scary impact on our minds. That's why we wanted to deliver a powerful message from the world's scariest boss to inspire people to move their minds. "We hope to encourage office workers around the world to move and feel the mental benefits. We look forward to seeing the empty desk images on World Mental Health Day."

NOTES TO EDITORS 1 The 2024 State of Mind Study was conducted between 17 November – 21 December 2023 and explored the relationship between exercise and State of Mind across the world. Over 26,000 people were surveyed across 22 markets including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, UAE, the UK and the US. Each market sample was nationally representative of age and gender. 2 Global research was conducted in September 2024 to further explore the impact of daily and continuous desk work on our State of Mind. Over 7,000 desk-based workers were surveyed across US, UK, Australia, Japan, the Netherlands, Germany and Brazil. Each market sample was nationally representative of age and gender. 3The ASICS Desk Break Experiment ran from 15th to 26th July 2024, led by Dr Brendon Stubbs of King's College London & University of Vienna. The experiment studied 80 desk-based office workers from Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, United Kingdom, USA and the UAE. All passed health screening questionnaires and completed consent forms before taking part. About ASICS At ASICS, our five letters have meaning. ASICS is an acronym for the Latin Anima Sana In Corpore Sano or a Sound Mind in a Sound Body. And since our founding in 1949, our purpose has been to help people achieve a Sound Mind in a Sound Body. Right from the very start, our founder, Kihachiro Onitsuka, saw that sport and movement had the power to lift spirits, project positivity, and propel people and whole communities forward. We still believe this. And we believe our purpose is more relevant today than ever before. Stress and anxiety are at record levels, yet we know sport and movement can have a positive impact. Which is why we remain focused on supporting more people to move for positive mental health.

Provides a comprehensive roadmap that bridges education and climate goals and outlines key recommendations to drive meaningful action at the climate-education nexus DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dubai Cares has launched its latest report, "Rewiring Education: The Climate- Education Nexus," advocating for integrating education and climate action, during the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) week. This report is the result of two years of consultations and discussions at the RewirEd Summit 2023 at COP28 UAE and beyond, gathering insights from both education and climate stakeholders. Image captions: H.E. Dr. Tariq Al Gurg, CEO and Vice-Chairman of Dubai Cares speaking at RewirEd Summit 2023 At its core, the report stresses that climate action and educational transformation cannot be addressed separately. It highlights the untapped potential of the climate-education nexus to drive systemic change. The report provides a blueprint for uniting efforts in education and climate action, offering practical solutions and concrete recommendations for integrating these areas into cohesive strategies. Commenting on the report, His Excellency Dr. Tariq Al Gurg, Chief Executive Officer and Vice-Chairman of Dubai Cares, stated: "Real progress on global issues whether poverty, health, or climate change depends on fundamentally transforming education systems. This report offers a clear roadmap for integrating education into the climate agenda, while embedding climate solutions in education. As we approach COP29, I urge global leaders to prioritize education in their climate discussions and consider the vital recommendations outlined here. The time to act is now to equip everyone with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to build a sustainable future." The report presents five "win-win" solutions: across Early Childhood Development (ECD), planet-friendly school meals, teaching as a green profession, youth green skills development, and strategic private sector engagement. These demonstrate how collaboration can align education transformation with climate action, economic growth, and social progress. The report also identifies nine key recommendations across policy, financing, and research to create an enabling environment that scales these solutions. RewirEd Summit 2023 at COP28 UAE marked the first global convening on the connection between education and climate, bringing together over 1,000 participants, including heads of state, ministers, CEOs, and representatives from 76 countries. The Summit highlighted the critical role education plays in addressing climate challenges and showcased innovative solutions at the intersection of these two sectors. With strong global representation, the Summit sparked impactful discussions on ensuring that climate change does not hinder children's right to education.
