ROME, Oct. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Rockefeller Foundation became the first philanthropy to join the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty (Global Alliance) at an event today with its President Rajiv Shah, the Brazilian Ambassador to the Rome-based Agencies, Carla Barroso Carneiro, and The Food and Agriculture Organization Director-General QU Dongyu. The Global Alliance, one of the hallmarks of the Brazil's G20 presidency, aims to quickly channel resources towards effective programs that reduce poverty and hunger – two Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are currently offtrack. As part of its membership, The Rockefeller Foundation is committing its financial and knowledge support to member countries in their expansion of school meal programs – one of the most beneficial investments countries can make to achieve SDG 1 and 2. The Rockefeller Foundation President Rajiv Shah, The Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Brazil to the UN Rome-based Agencies, Carla Barroso Carneiro, and The Food and Agriculture Organization Director-General QU Dongyu at an event today to announce The Rockefeller Foundation's joining to The Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty. "When I say that, I get emotional, because hunger is not a natural thing. Hunger is something that requires political decision. We leaders cannot look only — and all the time — at those who are close to us. We need to be able to take an X-ray and look at those who are far away, those who cannot get close to palaces, those who cannot get close to ministers," said Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, President of the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty and President of Brazil, in a speech at the pre-launch of the Global Alliance in July. "Programs such as Bolsa Família, Food Acquisition and School Meals allow healthy meals to reach the most vulnerable, encourage agricultural production and promote local development. The Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty was born out of this political will and spirit of solidarity. It will be the most important legacy of Brazil's G20 presidency," President Lula da Silva said in his speech. School meal programs make a critical impact on the educational outcomes and quality of life for vulnerable children around the world, especially for girls. The World Food Program indicates that school feeding programs can increase enrolment by an average of nine percent while decreasing dropout rates and significantly increasing children's attendance. Research also shows that school feeding programs can have beneficial effects on agriculture, education, health and nutrition, and social protection, with US$ 9 in returns for every US$ 1 invested. As the most extensive social safety net globally, benefiting 418 million children in 2022, school meal programs feed 20 percent of the population one meal per day, and can also be a powerful demand driver for climate-resilient, regeneratively produced agriculture. "Everyone deserves access to healthy food and economic opportunity. That's why we invite other institutions to join The Rockefeller Foundation in supporting the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty," said Dr. Rajiv J. Shah, President of The Rockefeller Foundation. "As part of the Alliance, we hope to help countries expand their school meal programs, which can help improve nutrition for millions of children while driving demand for more locally grown, regenerative agriculture," said The Rockefeller Foundation President Rajiv Shah. The Rockefeller Foundation is comitted to supporting a healthier way to produce, purchase, and consume what it calls "good food" that is accessible by all and good for the planet. Since 2021 it has focused on generating support and building momentum for expanding climate-resilient school meal programs, alongside the World Food Program, The School Meals Coalition and other partners. The Rockefeller Foundation is working to support countries to improve their school meal programs to achieve climate impacts. Working with producers, corporations, investors, philanthropy and governments, The Rockefeller Foundation aims to align incentives and investment opportunities that support farmers in underserved markets through their regenerative transitions. The Permanent Representative of Brazil to FAO, IFAD and WFP, Ambassador Carla Barroso Carneiro, on behalf of the Brazilian Government, expressed her gratitude to The Rockefeller Foundation for its commitment to the Global Alliance. "The Rockefeller Foundation's leadership in advancing sustainable solutions for vulnerable populations, especially in the realm of nutritious school meals, strengthens Brazil's efforts to fight these global challenges and to ensure that effective, long-term, evidence-based solutions reach those most in need," said Carla Barroso Carneiro, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Brazil to the UN Rome Based Agencies. As part of the Global Alliance, The Rockefeller Foundation expects to provide financial resources, technical assistance, capacity building support, as well as knowledge and data with member countries that are implementing school meal programs. In partnership with others, The Rockefeller Foundation will also work towards supporting large scale, country-owned implementation of policies and programs. The Food and Agriculture Organization states, "FAO is pleased to welcome The Rockefeller Foundation as the first philanthropic entity to join the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty. The Rockefeller Foundation support for climate-resilient regenerative school meals through the Global Alliance will increase the implementation of this policy instrument at scale, directly reducing hunger and malnutrition while promoting the transformation of agrifood systems, building resilience to climate change and strengthening smallholder family farmers. FAO is keen to work with Brazil, The Rockefeller Foundation and all other members of the Alliance to end poverty and achieve Zero Hunger." Open to all interested stakeholders, the Global Alliance will strive to generate collective action and mobilize resources to eradicate hunger and poverty, aligning efforts and financing from both public and private sources.

SYDNEY, Oct. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Australian arm of the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative, the UN Global Compact Network Australia (UNGCNA), is bringing together a veritable who's who of sustainable business to urge Australian leaders to get serious on their sustainability initiatives. Executive Director and CEO of the UNGCNA Kate Dundas At the UNGCNA's two-day UNiting Business LIVE Australia: Sustainability in Action event, esteemed business and sustainability voices will come together to offer inspiration and actionable advice to business leaders who wish to lead the charge in shaping a more sustainable and profitable future for corporate Australia, in 2024 and beyond. Executive Director and CEO of the UNGCNA Kate Dundas will take to the stage, calling on attendees to work towards systems-wide change. As UN General Assembly week kicks off in New York, CEOs and other business leaders are tackling increasingly complex economic and geopolitical challenges, as well as environmental challenges, she says, speaking to us from the heart of global private sector activities at UN headquarters. But as we pass the milestone of the halfway mark to achieving the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, it's important to focus on the overarching goals and the long-term strategies to achieve them. The UNGCNA helps businesses to keep environmental and social sustainability front-of-mind, through a principles-based framework in line with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Dundas says some Australian businesses are missing out on an opportunity to marry profit and purpose, and to build companies that actively help solve the world's problems, while remaining resilient in a changing landscape. UNiting Business LIVE Australia: Sustainability in Action is designed to help business leaders better understand the risks of inaction, and the economic opportunities to be gained by taking a proactive approach to their operations and business models. Assistant Secretary-General and CEO of the United Nations Global Compact Sanda Ojiambo will also speak at the event, sharing some of the practical steps business leaders can take to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Ojiambo said: "The private sector has a key role to play in addressing worldwide sustainability challenges, not only in the context of environmental sustainability, but also in driving social justice by paying living wages, and closing the gender gap in decision-making roles. "We face an ever-expanding list of larger and more critical decisions, but also equally critical opportunities demanding our attention. The consequences of our actions - or inaction - are greater than ever. So, in 2024, let's be braver and more ambitious than ever before." Kate Dundas will speak in the closing session of the event, summarising learnings and outlining the next steps necessary for sustainable business in action. "With new mandatory climate-related financial reporting coming into place in Australia in 2025, it's imperative that businesses future-proof and set themselves up for success in the year ahead. Boards, executives, investors and employees alike will need to navigate these changes, including across departments such as finance and sustainability. However, sustainability isn't just about the environment and reporting on the impact a business has on biodiversity. Sustainability includes social sustainability, building equity into business models and maintaining good governance practices. Importantly, each of these environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles need to be integrated" "This multifaceted and integrated approach to sustainability is a key tool for resilience and long-term business success. Forward-thinking CEOs know that, and are leveraging those opportunities. "We're at a turning point in history. There is so much opportunity ahead for impact-led business models that boost the bottom line in the long term. The leaders who bury their heads in the sand do so at their peril." The event will focus on progressing the Australian sustainable business agenda via the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact. Discussions will span a wide range of themes, including business strategies that leverage First Nations knowledge to protect the environment, sustainable growth and the bottom line, and leveraging AI as a 'sustainability silver bullet'. Key speakers include former Australia Post chief, now CEO Team Global Express, Christine Holgate, AI entrepreneur and Shark Tank Australia investor Dr Catriona Wallace, the Hon Tanya Plibersek MP, Business leader, campaigner, co-author of Net Positive, Paul Polman, New South Wales Indigenous Chamber of Commerce, Deb Barwick, Australian Council of Superannuation Investors CEO Louise Davidson AM, Intrepid Travel CEO, James Thornton, and Fortescue board member and longest serving Chief Executive of CSIRO, Dr Larry Marshall, FF, FAICD, FAIP, FTSE. The UNiting Business Live Australia: Sustainability in Action conference will take place on 30 and 31 October at Doltone House in Pyrmont, Sydney, with tickets now available here. All business and sustainability leaders wanting to drive a positive impact on our industry, ecosystem, and planet are urged to attend the two-day event. UN Global Compact Network Australia (UNGCNA) connects, enables and leads businesses and stakeholders to create a sustainable future by supporting them to act responsibly and helping them find opportunities to drive positive business outcomes. As a special initiative of the UN Secretary-General, the United Nations (UN) Global Compact is a call to companies everywhere to align their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption, and to take action in support of UN goals. www.unglobalcompact.org.au The UNGCNA UNiting Business Live Australia: Sustainability in Action event will take place on 30 and 31 October 2024, at Jones Bay Wharf in Pyrmont, Sydney.

Education must come first in our global efforts to defeat poverty, defend the planet and demand equity. NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- At this weekend's Global Citizen Festival, Education Cannot Wait (ECW) Executive Director Yasmine Sherif lit up the stage in New York's Central Park with her passionate call to expand support for education for crisis-affected girls and boys around the world. Sherif joined Rachel Brosnahan onstage in calling for expanded action to ensure education for all – especially children and adolescents impacted by armed conflicts, climate-induced disasters and protracted crises. ECW's partnership with Global Citizen and other key champions has brought together citizens from across the globe to accelerate ECW's resource mobilization efforts, resulting in over US$1.6 billion mobilized to date. Leading up to the festival, thousands of individuals took action through Global Citizen's campaign to support education for all through Education Cannot Wait. Throughout the day, a wide range of world leaders, celebrities and advocates – including headliners such as LISA from Blackpink, Post Malone, Doja Cat, Jelly Roll, RAYE, Hugh Jackman and Dr. Jane Goodall – took to the Global Citizen stage with a common goal to defeat poverty, defend the planet and demand equity. "Every child deserves a future irrespective of race, religion, ethnicity or politics – no matter who or where they are. This is a human imperative. Every child deserves an education. Every child deserves to reach their potential in safety, be it in Ukraine, Gaza, Afghanistan or Chad," said Sherif. "We are proud today to be committing US$90 million towards quality education for children in Ukraine, Colombia, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Iraq and Syria to ensure that they are equipped to realize their dreams and build a future, just like all of us. We are also committing US$27 million for emergency education support for the children of Haiti, Gaza, Lebanon, Eastern Congo and Sudan. Thank-you Global Citizen – and all of you – for being part of our mission to deliver education to children in crisis, for making the world a better, fairer and more humane place." When Education Cannot Wait was founded in 2017, it was estimated that 75 million crisis-impacted children needed ECW's support in accessing quality, holistic education opportunities. That number has tripled to 224 million today – that's more than the populations of Australia, France, Italy and the United Kingdom combined. Brutal wars have exacerbated the issue, stretched foreign aid budgets, and derailed progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals. Without additional measures, by 2030 an astonishing 300 million children will lack basic numeracy and literacy skills worldwide. Just as concerning, 1 in 4 young people are either out of school, out of a job, or out of a training programme to join the work force, and girls are twice as likely as boys to be impacted by this critical situation. The challenges are especially strong in the world's forgotten crises. Approximately half of all out-of-school children in emergencies are concentrated in only eight countries: Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Mali, Myanmar, Nigeria, Pakistan and Sudan. In Nigeria alone 20 million children are out of school; in Sudan, 18 million children are out of school. Without the safety and protection of a quality education they face an uncertain future, recruitment into armed groups, child marriage and other grave violations of their human rights. Even when they are in school, millions more children are falling further behind. Despite the growing needs, overall humanitarian funding for education dropped for the first time in over a decade last year, decreasing by 3%, from US$1.2 billion in 2022 to US$1.17 in 2023, according to ECW's Annual Results Report. Against all odds, ECW and its strategic partners are achieving significant results. Since ECW became operational in 2017, ECW's investments have reached 11 million children and adolescents, including 5.6 million girls and boys in 2023 alone. The global fund is calling on world leaders, businesses, philanthropic foundations and high-net-worth individuals to provide US$600 million in urgent funding to reach 20 million children through the Fund's four-year strategic plan. Financing education is an investment in all of humanity without discrimination.
