WHO faces a 21% reduction from the original proposed budget for the 2026-27 biennium. “If we think US$ 2.1 billion a year is ambitious—or $ 4.2 billion for the biennium—then either we must lower our ambitions for what WHO is and does, or we must raise the money.” - @drtedros.who.int bit.ly/3ZrwCXZ

Text on dark background reads:
4.2 billion dollars for two years – or 2.1 billion a year – is not ambitious,
it’s extremely modest.

2.1 billion dollars is the equivalent of:

8 hours of global military expenditure or,
1 stealth bomber or,
3 months’ advertising expenditure by the tobacco industry.

"It seems somebody switched the price tags on what is truly valuable
in our world."

Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General

What follows if we imagine rivers as having lives, deaths––& even rights? I wrote this essay about water & hope; imagining rivers “otherwise”; nature’s rights; grammars of animacy; & how our fate flows with that of rivers—& always has.

The suffering that will be unleashed on Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos is horrific. And that's not because they have "raped" America. It's because they're poor, they can't afford many US goods but they can become wealthier by exporting to rich countries.
