Such a busy week in New York that I was completely useless about posting along the way! Here is some of it in pictures 1. Talking NZ’s exceptional chocolate products with Jon Stewart 2. Catching up with the President Of Chile, who has been hugely supportive of efforts to extend Marine Protected Areas around Antarctica 3. A breakfast meeting with Dame Louise Richardson and others about the work of the Christchurch Call to Action on Violent Extremism and Terrorism online 4. A visit with David Miliband at the IRC who we’ve partnered with to end maternal mortality in humanitarian crises 5. And finally, over to London for a Global Progress event and a catch up with some of our incredible Field Fellows and 6. A panel with the President of Spain on multilateralism, and the importance of our international institutions now more than ever

It’s always a privilege to represent the Christchurch Call Foundation – this time at the Paris Peace Forum. The main focus of the panels I joined was the rapid growth of artificial intelligence, and the challanges and opportunities this represents. The Christchurch call was founded in 2019 after the horrific domestic terror attack targeting New Zealand’s Muslim community, and the work to end radicalisation, terrorism and violent extremism online is as important now as it’s ever been. In the years since, the call has helped ensure a crisis response model exists for the online world, has created a tool for accredited researchers to research and understand algorithmic outcomes and pathways to radicalisation, and worked on open source tools for platforms of all sizes to prevent them being weaponised. AI only reenforces the importance of this work, so onwards we go!

I’m in Brazil for The Earthshot Prize and COP30, but it just so happens that last week A Different Kind of Power was translated and released here too! I had a quick stop to meet with a group of Brazilian leaders in politics and civil society, and to do a really interesting interview with Luciano Huck (who is kindly supporting the Earthshot Prize as well.) Stay tuned for an amazing awards ceremony tonight!

Spent yesterday at Oxford University for the Dean’s Forum at the Blavatnik School of Government. I’m incredibly lucky to be a part of the World Leaders Circle which the Dean, Ngarie Woods, has established. It’s giving me a chance to spend a bit more time on the issue of political leadership. No model of leadership is perfect, but I certainly question the version that seeks to blame, seeks to exclude, and dehumanises those we are there to serve. But more on that in another post on another day!

“It’s been 10 years since the Paris agreement, and now it’s 10 days till COP 30 in Belém.” As I listened to past and present COP President’s speak at the Paris Peace Forum, I thought about all the debates I didn’t expect we’d still be having, and all the goals that are becoming more distant. Yet, in amongst all that, the voice of the Pacific has been powerfully consistent: we must not give up on 1.5, in fact, it is an obligation. We must address the loss and damage for small island states, and the lack of access to climate finance. We must give both our regions oceans, and indigenous voices, centrality in the climate discussion. I leave for Brazil at the end of this week, and feel humbled to be the COP30 special envoy for Oceania, a role where I am totally committed to amplifying the voice of the region. Now more than ever, we have to keep going.
