#Brazil has once again made the world a more decent, more beautiful place. A victory for workers, women, Black and Indigenous communities, farmers, entrepreneurs and everyone defending our forests and our rights. Hard work lies ahead. We are ready. 🇧🇷

Derrotamos a Meta.
Derrotamos as bets.
Derrotamos os EUA.
Derrotamos a milícia.
Derrotamos a Faria Lima.
Derrotamos a turma do Vorcaro.
Derrotamos Flávio Bolsonaro.
Lula é tetra, e de virada.
Isso é HISTÓRIA, e cada uma e cada um de vocês ajudou a escrever 💗
Brazil’s second round is looking chaotic. Bus shortages and alleged voter obstruction across 10 states. A court ordered the arrest of Salvador’s transport secretary. The Supreme Court’s extended nationwide voting to 7pm, an unprecedented move. A messy end to a bitter campaign.

A rare diplomatic breakthrough at #UNTOC today. Brazil and a wide coalition approved a resolution to negotiate a treaty to fight #environment crimes like illegal #logging, illicit #mining and #wildlife trafficking. The Americans, Iranians, Saudis and Russians tried to block it.
#Lula has real late momentum. @DataFolhaUOL moved from Flávio 52–48 on Oct 8 to 50–50 on Oct 22. @quaestpesquisa also has the race inside the margin of error. The runoff has compressed dramatically since the first round. (1/3)
Rejection may now matter as much as persuasion. @DataFolhaUOL has both candidates at 48% rejection, while @quaestpesquisa puts Flávio at 52% and Lula at 47% after Lula’s rejection fell six points in a week. The late campaign is increasingly about who voters dislike less. (2/3)
What coincides with #Lula’s late recovery? The #6x1 reform, a stronger #digital operation including the “#ExércitodoLula” network now above 8m followers, and fresh scrutiny of Flávio’s finances and associates. Still a (steep) climb, but the campaign environment has shifted. (3/3)
Which clubs a government joins is becoming an index of its geopolitics. I tracked +190 alliances since 2000. They've tripled since 2016 - some hedge and others are instrumentalist. The #UK's most connected, followed by #Germany, #Canada, #France, #Japan and the #US.
@unfoundation
Clubs are having a moment in the international system.
Chaotic times are prompting countries to build smaller alliances at record pace.

#Cities generate 70% of global #emissions but get a fraction of climate #finance. The solutions exist but money isn't flowing. Why? Our new @wef article explains. weforum.org/stories/nature-a…

So #Musk capped #Starshield connections by drone speed, crippling some #Ukrainian strike and interceptor drones. #Trump signed-off. One billionaire can weaken a country’s defenses and shape a war. That concentration of #geopolitical power is dangerous.

#Nigeria’s imported #Ebola case shows how quickly an outbreak can cross #Africa. The patient is isolated in #Abuja, with 44 contacts identified. As we wrote earlier this month, wider spread is possible, but not inevitable. Rapid contact tracing is key. flashnote.secdev.com/p/congo…
European #protests are the product of a decade in which housing grew less affordable, the promise of work less secure and expectation of upward #mobility weakened. Many young #Europeans believe they are paying for decisions in which they had almost no say. flashnote.secdev.com/p/class…
Alberta has delivered a blow to separatism. Roughly 76% voted to stay in Canada, against 24% seeking a path to independence. Secession is on the political back burner (but not gone). A win for Canadian unity and a bitter pill for MAGA enthusiasts dreaming of a 51st state. 🇨🇦
Strong majority of Albertans vote to remain in Canada, rejecting referendum question on separation theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…
