🌿 Brazil: Balancing Progress and Challenges in Climate Leadership 🌍 Brazil is emerging as a key player in global climate action, showcasing its potential to lead. However, the journey is complex—while efforts to reduce deforestation in the Amazon show promise, challenges persist in other regions, and the nation's energy investments are still heavily tied to fossil fuels. We can support Brazil in building a sustainable future through collaboration, innovation, and a focus on social justice. What do you think are the best ways to support Brazil in this journey? Let us know in the comments.

🌍 Our Voice is ON: Empowering Brazilian Youth in the Energy Transition and G20 Debate 🇧🇷 Young people will feel the true impact of the climate crisis yet many are unfamiliar with the G20 or the concept of Energy Transition. At Purpose, in partnership with the Climate Emergency Collaboration Group (CECG), we decided to change that. Through the Nossa Voz está ON (Our Voice is ON) campaign, we empowered Brazilian youth to deepen their understanding of the energy transition challenges in Brazil and the crucial role their voices play in G20 discussions. We developed a robust strategy in collaboration with 10 young influencers to drive change across their networks. The results? Over 600,000 people reached on social media with an average 74% positive engagement. This is just the beginning of mobilizing the next generation to take action on global issues. #YouthEmpowerment #EnergyTransition #G20 #BrazilianYouth #ClimateAction #PurposeDriven

Ever seen a face mask floating in the ocean? The pandemic had an environmental impact too and over 2500 women including 6 Olympians united to combat the surge in plastic pollution. 🌊 In 2020, Purpose and the Liga das Mulheres pelo Oceano developed a dynamic digital campaign, empowering athletes to drive change and protect our seas. Together, they raised awareness and inspired a national movement against ocean pollution which spread across the world. This Olympic season we are revisiting moments from the Purpose archive, celebrating the power of athletes and the sporting world, to drive real impactive change.

It’s Olympic season 🏃🏃♀️🏃♂️And at Purpose we are looking back on our work driving change throughout the sporting world. Back in 2021, the stage was set for the Tokyo Olympics. As many young athletes prepared for the defining moment of their careers the harsh truth was not far - to win, many endure abuse. As the world's eyes were on Japan, Purpose proudly partnered with Human Rights Watch to build a movement that changed sport at the root. #AthletesAgainstAbuse #TokyoOlympics #Throwback

Purpose reposted this
Had the joy of representing Purpose's work and speaking about the power of storytelling and narrative building for climate action. Thank you, Sayesha Dogra, for the opportunity to be a panelist at The Climate Party® NCR edition, alongside fellow storytellers Milan George Jacob from CEEW and Mairu Gupta of Antkind, discussing ways to "make climate pop" (to borrow Mairu's phrase). Kudos to Ananya Sharma for her interactive session on how to use pop culture and memes to tell climate stories. Got to hear so many stories and came away feeling energised.

Technology can unlock significant opportunities for social good. The use cases extend from climate monitoring and precision farming in agriculture to telemedicine and smart diagnostics in healthcare, from digital literacy and digital identity in skilling to resource allocation and documentation and surveillance of schemes for the marginalised, and so many more. As we reap the far-reaching benefits of new-age technology like AI, blockchain and others, considered thought and intervention needs to go towards its equitable distribution, easy access, and ethical usage. In sessions co-hosted by Google and Purpose, we will discuss how to harness the power of technology for a better tomorrow for all.
