Melinda’s new book, The #MomentofLift, is out today: https://b-gat.es/2URTmBh.
She combines her mastery of data with her ability to tell powerful stories. It was a lot of fun watching her write it, and I’m excited for all of you to read it.

Some of the very first investments we made as philanthropists were aimed at correcting inequities in global #health. Here’s why: https://lnkd.in/eX_8FNR
From vaccines to drones, we’re fighting the war against malaria on multiple fronts: http://b-gat.es/2qNmpE2
Even as the world works to stop the novel coronavirus and begin recovering from it, we also need to act now to avoid a climate disaster.
This hero is playing a critical role in Kenya’s preparations to tackle COVID-19 by scaling up medical oxygen supplies that will be needed to keep the most critically ill patients alive.
My job as a philanthropist is easy compared to these heroes in the field working to make the world a better place.
Summer’s almost over. If you have time to sneak in another book or two – here are a few I recommend.
I’m teaming up with Rashida Jones for a new podcast limited series starting Monday. Each week, we’ll talk about some of the biggest issues facing our world with special guests including authors, experts, and friends.
Thanks to the work of this father–daughter dynamic duo, Bangladesh is moving toward a future of fewer disease outbreaks and more children reaching their fifth birthday.
My parents’ birthdays always remind me of the enormous impact they’ve had on my life and work. Today would have been my mom’s 93rd birthday. She showed me what generosity looks like and how to live a life of service. And most importantly, she found joy in everything she did.
I learn something new and inspiring every time I visit India—and my latest trip was no exception. As always, I was blown away by the ideas and inventions coming out of this country.
I recently visited a high school that has gone from one of Chicago’s worst to one of its best: https://b-gat.es/2TBJjyI
I’ve done some weird crap over the years: I drank water from fecal sludge with Jimmy Fallon, shared the stage with a jar of human feces, and smelled pit latrine odor.
These antics got a few laughs, but my goal has always been to get people to care about an issue that impacts 3.6 billion people: poor sanitation. Thanks to scientists and engineers from around the world, we’re getting closer to new solutions that will prevent disease and illness. #WorldToiletDay gatesnot.es/3ELri81

Yesterday, I spent the day focusing on climate – and the innovations that can prevent the very worst effects of climate change.
Things kicked off with Darrell Etherington at the TechCrunch Climate Conference. We talked about Breakthrough Energy – and some of the crazy ideas that could help the world get to net-zero.
I then had a chance to visit Stanford University's Doerr School of Sustainability. It was very cool to walk through labs and see their work in person.
And to top it all off, I ran into Jose Zamora Zeledon. He’s a Gates Millennium Scholar focused on researching the development of high-performance electrocatalytic interfaces for hydrogen fuel cell applications. Incredible stuff.

I’m inspired by the governments, researchers, businesses, philanthropies, and communities working together to embrace smart solutions to a serious problem: https://lnkd.in/d3GmDvD
Meaningful action from business leaders will require the courage to take risks that many companies aren't used to taking.
When most people think about what produces greenhouse gas emissions, they think about cars and electricity. But they add up to only about one third of the total. Clean hydrogen could help eliminate the rest: https://lnkd.in/g_H326vM
“The grand challenge approach works.” One of the smartest people in Silicon Valley makes the case for investing in big bets.
I had a great discussion with Narendra Modi about India’s development, the path to Viksit Bharat @ 2047, and exciting advancements in health, agriculture, AI, and other sectors that are creating impact today. It's impressive to see how innovation in India is driving progress locally—and globally.
To avoid the worst effects of climate change, we need new zero-carbon ways to generate electricity, grow food, make things, move around, and keep warm and cool. But knowing what we need to accomplish is very different from knowing how to do it—or even whether we can.
If you watched the Netflix series about my work, you might recall briefly seeing a tool that I rely on to test bold ideas.
It’s important enough that I decided to write a special blog post so everyone can understand it better. Can you guess what it is?

Only 22% of students from low-income communities earn a postsecondary degree or professional certification after high school, compared to 67% of their peers from high-income areas. The impact of this disparity is far reaching. The College Advising Corps helps low-income and underrepresented students pursue college degrees:
I recently published a list of books you might want to read this summer. I loved all of them and hope you’ll find something you enjoy too: https://lnkd.in/gNmYjFpu
As 2021 comes to a close, I wrote about four things that are top of mind: the latest progress toward ending the COVID-19 pandemic, why decreased trust in institutions might be the biggest obstacle standing in our way, what the climate conversation can teach us about making progress, and how the rapid digitization brought on by the pandemic will shape our future: https://lnkd.in/gTb82K4k
I recently joined a cohort of graduate students for a virtual discussion about how we can help improve educational outcomes for Black and Latino students and students from low-income backgrounds: https://lnkd.in/eqSUZMD
As we’ve seen this past year, new variants of a disease can emerge over time. In order to develop new tools to fight the disease, we need to identify those variants quickly. Dr. Senjuti Saha is one expert working to sequence SARS-CoV-2: https://b-gat.es/3Apxnm3
One in five students who planned to attend college don’t actually enroll. They call this “summer melt,” and it’s a phenomenon that disproportionately hurts low income students.
Georgia State University, a school I had the pleasure of visiting last year, has seen success using a chatbot to reduce “summer melt.” https://b-gat.es/2vAuAa1

We have a good model for preventing fires from spreading. Now we need to do the same thing for pandemic prevention.
Mosquito City is home to the world’s largest captive colony of mosquitoes. Ifakara Health Institute is doing fascinating research there about mosquito behaviors and finding ways to outsmart them.
Although the Berkshire shareholders weekend is always busy, Warren and I usually find time to goof off...
None of us would be where we are today without the incredible teachers who helped shape our perspectives. Brooke Brown is an extraordinary teacher who has helped her students adapt to extraordinary times. All of her students are seniors, so many are essential workers who have to help provide for their families on top of their schoolwork. Brooke told me that her focus has been on giving them the flexibility they need to keep up with school.
I’ve always admired doctors. They have to make impossibly hard decisions, and so much of their work has life-and-death implications.
This book, written by a young surgeon with terminal cancer, earned my admiration—and tears.

The Breakthrough Energy Catalyst program will help bring the next generation of climate solutions to market in time—and at a low enough cost—to avoid a climate disaster.
One of the first projects Jerad does with new students is to show them how to make their own deerskin medicine bags, which are used to carry items of cultural importance like cedar, sage, and sweetgrass. He taught me how to make one for myself.
In this year’s Goalkeepers report, Melinda and I take an honest look at the challenges and opportunities presented by rapid population growth. Global leaders should be thinking about how this changing landscape will impact their economies — and how they can capitalize on young people’s enormous potential to drive economic growth: https://b-gat.es/2MQtPiV
Our foundation—like most organizations—relies on data to make decisions about where to invest funding. Unfortunately, education data here in the United States is often incomplete, incompatible, or difficult to use. It doesn’t always focus on the most important outcomes or the kids who are most likely to be left behind. The good news is that there are a number of promising new efforts to collect and organize better data.
Melinda and I love sharing books with each other and our colleagues and friends. Here are three books Melinda Gates thinks every young leader should read.
I’m very lucky that Anita Zaidi, Keith Klugman, and Lynda Stuart MD PhD were willing to meet up for a working dinner to discuss lessons learned from COVID-19. The nice thing about a working dinner is that the conversation can go in any direction, and nobody feels like they have to come prepared with slides.
One reason climate change is such a massive challenge is that it is so intertwined with the world economy.
But global markets could also be the key to unlocking the competition and innovation needed to address this serious issue.
I highly recommend you read The Economist’s recent issue to understand what can be done to address #climatechange. https://b-gat.es/2OjUQQo

Students who pass this subject by 9th grade are twice as likely to graduate from high school and more likely to go on to college. Check your answer here: https://lnkd.in/gegwDpKA
I would say this even if I weren’t married to the author: Melinda's new book “The Moment of Lift” is a terrific read. You can see for yourself by downloading a free excerpt on my blog: https://b-gat.es/2G739cj
Uganda’s maternal mortality rate is double the global average. But because that number doesn’t count those who give birth at home—in a country where poverty, distance, stigma, and distrust are all barriers to medical care—Eva Nangalo believes the real one may be much higher. That’s why she’s spent the past 23 years working to make hospital deliveries both more safe and more common.
Many people look at the environmental challenges our planet faces and see little reason for hope. But I can’t help feeling optimistic that the world has much of what we need to prevent a climate disaster—and we can invent the things we need but don’t have yet. The Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability is accelerating research to address climate change.
