Yup. Gotta stay cool in the heat, though it's not always easy. We shared this article last week, which underscores that #ExtremeHeat impacts the most vulnerable the most: We need to find smart & affordable solutions to #BeatTheHeat .

Malaria unfairly affects women and children. In sub-Saharan Africa, 1 in 3 women face this deadly threat during pregnancy. On #WorldMalariaDay we recognize the amazing work of people like @Kipyegon_Faith who are raising their voices to fight malaria.

Ever heard of spatial repellents? It's a low-tech innovation that could help communities keep mosquitoes and malaria at bay. Thanks to Martin Wamoni of @SCJohnson for explaining how it works in Kihoto, Kenya. #HealthierTogether #EndMalaria #WorldMalariaDay

From the depths of the ocean to the air we breathe, #microplastics are everywhere. Thanks, @NatGeo , for bumping this article on #EarthDay . Plastic pollution is a global crisis with local impacts. Feeling a bit helpless, yet determined to find solutions!

#ClimateChange isn't just about the environment - it's about people. Extreme weather and rising temperatures disproportionately affect the most vulnerable among us, exacerbating homelessness and health crises. Thanks, @Salon , for the article. Important.

If you view affordable, accessible healthcare as an expense, you've got it wrong. Investing in healthcare protects people's health while also unlocking human capital and economic growth. (The #WBGMeetings session starts at 1:00 PM EST / 17:00 GMT.)
