The value of space technology lies not just in the data we collect, but in how we use it to improve lives.

Space technology can help us anticipate disasters & act before they strike.

Poverty is more than a lack of income. Our solutions must reflect that.
At #UNGA81, I called for a renewed commitment beyond 2030, using evidence and integrated policies to tackle multiple deprivations and ensure everyone can live with dignity.

Equal pay requires practical action. Pay transparency, fair workplace policies & investment in care can help close gender pay gaps.
On #EqualPayDay, let us commit to removing barriers that undervalue women’s work & make equal pay for work of equal value a reality.
