Women are essential to economic growth. At @cop28uaeofficial, I sat down with Tanzanian President @samia_suluhu_hassan at the Q Coffee Café at Expo City, where we shared a cup of Q Coffee and Kazi Yetu tea. @questioncaferw is a social enterprise supported by @bloombergdotorg’s Women’s Economic Development Initiative, which trains women farmers and producers – and increases economic independence for them and their families. If you’re at #COP28, don’t miss a stop at Q Coffee Café at Expo City. #COP28UAE

@unitednations Secretary-General @AntonioGuterres knows that every step mayors, governors and regional leaders take to fight climate change gets us closer to our Paris Agreement goals – and we’re glad he could join us for the @cop28uaeofficial #LocalClimateActionSummit. #COP28 #COP28UAE
Reducing emissions from heavy emitting sectors like industry and transportation is one of the biggest climate challenges we face. Alongside @cop28uaeofficial President Dr. Sultan al Jaber and Mark Carney, today I announced the new Industrial Transition Accelerator, which will help companies cut carbon emissions and develop public policies that incentivize those cuts. Learn more at the link in my bio. #COP28 #COP28UAE
@cop28uaeofficial’s CHAMP initiative, announced by Dr. Sultan al Jaber at the #LocalClimateActionSummit, will help cities and regional governments build stronger partnerships with national governments to raise global ambition and meet our climate goals faster. #COP28 #COP28UAE
President @emmanuelmacron is a driving force for climate progress. His commitment to making climate data more transparent and accessible, powering past coal, and driving a green economy have made France a global leader in the climate fight – and I was glad to see him at @cop28uaeofficial. #COP28 #COP28UAE
The Global Capacity Building Coalition, announced today at @cop28uaeofficial, is the broadest coalition ever created to help countries fight climate change in ways that promote economic growth, environmental resilience, and public health. UN agencies, multilateral development banks, private sector finance, and philanthropy leaders will collaborate to get climate finance where it needs to be in emerging markets and developing economies. #COP28 #COP28UAE
Cities are leading the way when it comes to reducing emissions. To meet our climate goals, we need to give local leaders a seat at the table – to share ideas, make connections, and forge new partnerships. That’s what the #LocalClimateActionSummit at @cop28uaeofficial is all about. #COP28 #COP28UAE
No one feels the urgency for action on climate like the local leaders who are managing their cities and states through dangerous heat, wildfire threats, droughts, extreme weather, and other climate emergencies. Thank you to all of the mayors, governors, and other local leaders who took part in the #LocalClimateActionSummit hosted by @bloombergdotorg and @cop28uaeofficial. Your understanding of what it takes to make real progress, and your willingness to collaborate across all levels of government, will help raise our global ambitions for the clean energy transition and a net-zero future. #COP28 #COP28UAE
The key to @bloomberg’s success is our team – and we have a great team in Dubai. I was glad to connect with colleagues working in the UAE before heading to @cop28uaeofficial.
Nobody in our country exercised more influence over global affairs over a longer period of time than Henry Kissinger, and his death is a loss for our country and the world – and for all of us who were fortunate enough to call him a dear friend and mentor. Henry was incredibly kind and unfailingly devoted to his friends – a side of him that the public rarely saw – and endlessly generous with the wisdom gained over the course of an extraordinary life that included escaping Nazi Germany for New York, serving in World War II, and rising to become one of the most consequential public figures in American history, more so than many presidents. His legacy will shape the world for decades and even centuries to come. I’ll miss him dearly, and my heart goes out to Nancy and her family.
It was great to help open my friend @motzburger’s new joint @hamburger_america. My advice: Go for the burger, stay for the egg cream.

Holding @cop28uaeofficial in Dubai shines a spotlight on the Middle East’s important role in the clean energy transition and our net-zero future. From bringing together local leaders and many others at COP28 to supporting data transparency for ongoing climate action, @bloombergdotorg and @bloomberg are helping accelerate that shift in the region, and around the world.
17,294 volunteers in 98 cities around the globe 🌏 This #GivingTuesday, we thank the @bloomberg employees who have committed their time and talents to making the world a better place this year – now that’s something to celebrate! #ImpactInAction

So starting today on Giving Tuesday, and through midnight this Sunday December 3rd, I’ll match your donation through the link in my bio. #givingtuesday
The stakes to protect our planet from climate change could not be higher. We must tackle this challenge head on – not because it will be easy, but because it will be hard.
Companies need to combat climate change, too. Across @bloomberg and @bloombergnef, we’re making climate data more transparent and helping to accelerate the pace of net-zero investments around the world. Here’s how.
Here’s an inside look at the new @johnshopkinsu Bloomberg Center at 555 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. Built to bring together global leaders — especially the next generation of them — to enhance the free exchange of ideas, this Center will be it is a space for future leaders and innovators to explore, collaborate, and engage in dialogue to and advance solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.
What will the most important topics be at @cop28uaeofficial? In our latest Countdown to COP28 video, John Fraher from the @bloomberggreen news team shares four major themes he expects to drive conversations and media coverage at the global climate convening: 🌎 The global stocktake will track countries’ progress toward net zero goals 🌎 Climate finance and investments in green tech 🌎 Oil and gas companies’ role in fighting climate change 🌎 Renewable energy investments
Today is #NationalEntrepreneursDay, whatever that means. If you’re a potential entrepreneur reading this, remember that there’s never a perfect time to start a business. I started a financial data and information company during a market downturn with inflation running in double digits. I didn’t have a five-year plan — just an idea I believed in and a willingness to work like crazy. The most important decision I made was the first — hiring an incredible team. After that, we made it up as we went, always staying flexible and never being afraid to fail. Did everything we try pan out? No. But the harder we worked, the luckier we got. And 42 years later, I can say that there’s no experience quite as thrilling as taking an idea everyone says is crazy and bringing it to life. So today, give that idea you’ve been kicking around a little extra thought. You never know where it might lead. 📸: Jack Manning/The New York Times/Redux
