Congratulations Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana for administering the first shipment of African #COVAX vaccine doses! These are the first of many to protect frontline & health care workers around the world & marks another incredible victory for equitable access:
Delivering vaccines to those who need them most, no matter where they live or how much money they have, is the only way to end the pandemic and begin the recovery. This is an important milestone.
We're fortunate to have an Energy Secretary who's focused on creating high-quality jobs to build a clean energy economy. I look forward to working with @SecGranholm on clean tech innovation and deployment.
Recent extreme weather events are a stark reminder that we’re already seeing the effects of climate change here at home and around the world. This type of observation system will help scientists monitor and predict future weather events.
Thanks @kwelkernbc and @JCCAtlanta for a great conversation about how we can avoid a climate disaster.

Guess who just joined Clubhouse?
@BillGates
Come join us tonight at 9:00 PM EST on @joinclubhouse.
I’m looking forward to joining @andrewrsorkin to talk about climate change, our foundation’s work in response to the pandemic, and more.
It’s encouraging to have @ClimateEnvoy John Kerry representing the U.S. to the world. Now that we've rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement, it's going to take ambitious action from U.S. leaders and those around the globe to avoid a climate disaster.
There are several ways individuals can help move us closer to a zero-carbon future. Here are a few:
Thanks @JudyWoodruff and @NewsHour for having me on the show to talk about climate change and COVID-19 – two urgent global issues that need global collaboration.
Replying to @melindagates: I’m grateful for new commitments from the EU, Germany, Canada, Japan, and the U.S. to help make safe and effective COVID-…
I’m inspired by @DonCheadle’s activism and humanitarian work. Thanks to @lawacthevents and @writersblocla for hosting our discussion about climate change and how everyone can help.
Quoted @FinancialTimes
Are there things businesses can do to make a measurable difference for the climate? @Billgates thinks so. ‘But they will not come easily’ he warns in his green manifesto, published on @FTlifearts:
Meaningful action from business leaders will require the courage to take risks that many companies aren't used to taking.
Thanks to @andersoncooper, @SeaArtsLectures, and everyone who joined our virtual conversation about climate change. Great to have so much support from my hometown for this important work.
Great to see this important step as the United States resumes our global leadership on climate change. Looking forward to working with @POTUS and Congress on a plan to ensure we reach net zero by 2050.
Thanks to @streickercenter for hosting the launch of my virtual book tour. It was great to hear so many thoughtful questions about what we can all do to help avoid a climate disaster.
Replying to @washingtonpost: Bill Gates on Climate Change, Covid and Whether He Has Too Much Influence
When I talk to people about climate change, I almost always get asked the same question: What can I do to help? Here are some actions individuals can take to move us closer to a zero-carbon future:
I’m grateful for new commitments from the EU, Germany, Canada, Japan, and the U.S. to help make safe and effective COVID-19 tests, treatments, and vaccines available to people around the world. Thanks to the #G7 and @ACTAccelerator for their leadership.

Here is my long interview with @BillGates on his climate change efforts, antitrust and COVID: Innovation, Not Trees. How Bill Gates Plans to Save the Planet.
Thanks for inviting me on the podcast, @karaswisher.

The Weekly Planet: Lately, Bill Gates has been thinking about what he calls the “hard stuff” of climate change. These hard problems are at the center of Gates’s helpful new book, "How to Avoid a Climate Disaster," @yayitsrob writes:
Bill Gates on Climate Change, Covid and Whether He Has Too Much Influence
To avoid a climate disaster, we need to eliminate emissions from the ways we create electricity, grow food, make things, move around, and heat and cool our buildings. It won’t be easy, but I believe we can do it. This book is about what it will take.
