Jacinda Ardern has shown the world how to lead with intellect and strength. She has demonstrated that empathy and insight are powerful leadership qualities. Jacinda has been a fierce advocate for New Zealand, an inspiration to so many and a great friend to me.

#ClimateFinance is not an expense, but an investment. Investment in justice, wellbeing, and, our future. Some principles: $100bn = a floor. Build in transparency from outset. Need it going to adaptation and L&D, as well as mitigation. Let's push ahead with MDB reform #COP27
