It's possible the cutting room floor is full of embarrassing errors. If not, this looks to have raised the bar. Deep Mind amazes yet again.

It will launch major new research from over 80 countries proposing what an equity roadmap to 2030 looks like, as well the first global organisation focused exclusively on HE equity: the World Access to Higher Education Network (WAHEN).

The Glasgow Climate Pact is agreed.
@theCCCuk will shortly publish a stocktake of where we stand after #COP26, including advice on the UK Presidency’s role for the next year.
Tonight I’ll just reflect that we have a new platform for even greater global ambition. Hope we use it. – at Glasgow, Scotland

Got my thread in early today folks @EdSust @GeosciencesEd @keelingcurve @eebomberg @_richardblack @LfSScotland @bethchristie__ @EdUni_VPC @d_jmacleod @lizvmeer @JamieBrogan @JakeBroadhurst @EdCentreCC
So, with the fresh negotiating text emerging this morning, I thought a new thread on the final (or is it?!?) day of COP was warranted. Things will no doubt change during the day, but the text plus a few things caught my eye overnight #COP26 #EdinUniCOP26 1/n

Thanks for this. I tend look at Climate Action Tracker. Their website is still showing 2.4/2.9 degs. It will be interesting to see if they update it post-COP26

No one has a monopoly on good ideas, because no one has a monopoly on curiosity.
Original thinking doesn't require genius.
Creativity = fertile mind + fresh perspective
Innovation = focused attention + persistent effort

Thank you, @liz_sugg for your participation. We are grateful for @DFID_UK's foundational support and commitment to the cause. Together, we will #ENDviolence against children.
Children living in poverty are facing huge challenges made worse by #coronavirus, including a greater risk of violence.
Their protection must be part of the global response. Today I spoke at the Board of @GPtoEndViolence with @unicefchief to discuss what more we need to do.

Children seem less vulnerable to the #COVID19 virus, but secondary impacts on them are devastating.
We may face a "child rights crisis", with eg. school closures, disruption of livelihoods, home confinement & isolation being triggers for violence against children. #EndViolence

“Like the climate crisis, the coronavirus pandemic is a child-rights crisis.”
Join @GretaThunberg and help support @UNICEF’s work to save lives, protect health and continue children’s education.

Almost all students in the world are now out of school due to #COVID19.
While some schools are offering distance learning, this is not available to all.
Children’s education must remain a priority as we continue the fight against #coronavirus.

Global leaders come together in solidarity to share their concern, call for action and pledge their support to protect children from violence – and mitigate the impact of COVID-19 – across the world.
We must act now!
