Fue un gusto conversar con el Señor Presidente de la República, @petrogustavo, sobre el trabajo que estamos haciendo con el Ministerio de Defensa Nacional para incrementar la transparencia en los gastos militares de Colombia. Es un honor hacer parte de este esfuerzo.
Last week, SIPRI researchers Caroline Delgado and @dielopesilva joined SIPRI Chair Stefan Löfven for an informal meeting in Stockholm with Colombian President @petrogustavo to present their latest research on Colombia🇨🇴.

At a time when we see rising hunger, growing poverty & a lack of financing to address the climate crisis, it's shocking to see military expenditure reaching an unprecedented high—$2443 billion in 2023, according to @SIPRIorg.
It's time to stop running towards mutual destruction.

De fato @LulaOficial, nosso relatório sobre os gastos militares mundiais aponta que só no ano passado, chegamos a US$ 2.2 trilhões - o ponto mais alto desde o fim da Guerra Fria. Fica aqui o link do nosso relatório mais recente: sipri.org/sites/default/file…
Quantos líderes mundiais estão de fato comprometidos em salvar o planeta?Somente no ano passado, o mundo gastou mais de US$ 2 trilhões de dólares em armas. Quantia que poderia ser investida no combate à fome e no enfrentamento da mudança climática. Quantas toneladas de carbono são emitidas pelos mísseis que cruzam o céu e desabam sobre civis inocentes, sobretudo crianças famintas? #COP28UAE

This is the coolest thing: a subway style data visualization of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus: tractatus.lib.uiowa.edu/map/ built by @__mbutler__. I've always tried to imagine it like that - or a tree - but seeing it is quite something. Very cool 😊
