I’m at #COP28, and the energy here is just amazing. When we invest in innovation that works for everyone, we won’t just keep the planet livable. We will make it a better place to live. Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Charlie Munger had a remarkable mind and was a guiding influence for countless people, including me. His partnership with Warren Buffett didn’t just shape Berkshire Hathaway—it reshaped the world’s understanding of business and investing. Despite the hardships he endured in his 99 years, Charlie maintained a sharp sense of humor and an even sharper moral compass that everyone could learn from. The world has lost an extraordinary individual, and I have lost a friend. I’m grateful for the time I got to spend with him.
Remembering my dad, Bill Gates Sr., on what would have been his 98th birthday. His life was a testament to the power of generosity, humility, and wisdom. I will be forever inspired by his impact on the world—and I can’t think of a better person to share a name with.
I’m grateful to France for their incredible commitment to polio eradication. @afd_france committed new essential resources, and tonight in Paris, @psg mobilized players and gamers to continue to push for eradication. With our partners in this fight from around the world, I know we can beat this disease. Together, we will #EndPolio.
Merci beaucoup à la France pour votre générosité et votre soutien à la lutte contre la polio. Paris, France
As another year comes to a close, I find myself thinking more than ever about the world today’s young people will inherit. There is no question that these are challenging times, but when I look at the opportunities ahead, I can’t help but be hopeful.

Hannah Ritchie’s upcoming book, Not the End of the World, is an essential antidote to environmental doomsday-ism. Anyone who wants to join the fight against climate change—or just have an informed conversation about the issue—should read this book.
With the right mix of investment and innovation, Brazil has become a healthier place for its people.
Com a combinação certa de investimento e inovação, o Brasil se tornou um lugar mais saudável para seu povo.
