William Attersoll, English Puritan, writes on the distinctives of Christianity, such as charity. He laments a lack of mercy and compassion towards the poor, for their maintenance. Not even in famine, scarcity, sickness, and “mortalities.”

Do some of these categories make us less willing to give? Do we bristle at “maintenance”?

How can you be given to mercy and compassion, and consider ways to get “we” involved?

Thomas Watson, English Puritan, muses on giving from the Sermon on the Mount. Give to all. Disperse abroad. Entertain the stranger. Send relief to prisoners. Be a healer, “not by miracle”, but by God’s blessing upon your support. And spend so much time doing good that blessings of those about to perish falls on your ears.

How can you view these things as joys, and speak up when modern conservative sensibilities water down or oppose these things?

The #Cali Fund was established this year for the « Fair and #Equitable Sharing of Benefits from the use of Digital #Sequence Information on #Genetic Resources (DSI) ». cbd.int/article/cali-fund-laun

Convention on Biological DiversityThe Cali Fund launches in the margins of the resumed session of COP16The Cali Fund Launch. In a major development under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the Cali Fund for the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits from the use of Digital Sequence Information on Genetic Resources (DSI) -- the Cali Fund’-- which will receive contributions from private sector entities making commercial use of DSI, launched today in Rome in the margins of the second day of the resumed session of COP 16 of the CBD at the Headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).   The Cali Fund will mobilize new streams of funding for biodiversity action worldwide, in support of the three objectives of the CBD: the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components, and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from the use of genetic resources. Recognizing their role and contributions as custodians of biodiversity, 50 per cent of the resources of the Cali Fund will be allocated to the self-identified needs of indigenous peoples and local communities, including women and youth.    The disbursements of the Fund will also serve to boost the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF), the universal masterplan to halt and reverse biodiversity loss adopted under the CBD, notably by supporting the delivery of National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) by developing country Parties, and by bolstering scientific research on biodiversity and bridging existing gaps in the way countries  generate, access, use, analyze and store DSI.  In line with decision 16/2, which Parties to the CBD adopted on 2 November 2024 at COP 16 in Colombia, the Cali Fund will be hosted by the Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office (MPTFO) in a partnership between the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and with the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) hosting the Cali Fund Secretariat. A Memorandum of Understanding reflecting this institutional arrangement was signed during the launch ceremony today.   “I commend the CBD Secretariat for the hard work that went into preparing the Cali Fund launch a mere four months after the adoption of the decision operationalizing it,” said H.E. Susana Muhamad, the COP 16 President. "Colombians are proud that this major achievement under the CBD saw the light of day at La COP de la gente in Cali.”  “Today’s launch is the culmination of multilateralism that delivers,” said the UNEP Deputy Executive Director Elizabeth Mrema. “The ball is now in the court of businesses around the world. Those who pay into the Fund will go down in history as pioneers and will reap the benefits as the public increasingly recognizes the importance of giving back to nature.”  Large companies and other major entities benefiting commercially from the use of DSI are expected to contribute a portion of their profits or revenues in sectors and subsectors highly dependent on the use of DSI, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, plant and animal breeding and agricultural biotechnology, industrial biotechnology, laboratory equipment associated with the sequencing and use of digital sequence information on genetic resources, and information, scientific and technical services related to digital sequence information on genetic resources, including artificial intelligence. Academic, public databases, public research institutions and companies operating in the concerned sectors but not relying on DSI are exempt of contributions to the Cali Fund.  Marcos Neto, Director for Bureau for Policy and Programme Support at UNDP and UN Assistant Secretary General, said “Success of the Cali Fund will be critical for providing finance to people on the ground who are custodians for species and genetic diversity. We are proud to be a founding partner for this groundbreaking Fund. The Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office, hosted by UNDP, brings a transparent, dynamic and collaborative approach to running the Fund for nature and for people.”    Alain Noudehou, Executive Coordinator of the UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office (MPTFO) said: “The launch of the Cali Fund today goes beyond the establishment of a financial instrument, it signals a new era of collective action in support of biodiversity worldwide. The MPTFO, as the UN center of expertise on pooled funds, is proud to serve as the Administrative Agent for the Cali Fund and we look forward to supporting the efficient realization of its objectives.”   “Something truly promising for biodiversity and those who protect it is underway,” said Astrid Schomaker, the Executive Secretary of the CBD. “For the first time since the inception of the Convention, a global fund under the Conference of the Parties will receive contributions from the private sector in the form of levies from business income generated thanks to the use of digital sequence information on genetic resources. This is an eloquent and concrete expression of business commitment to give back to nature, and a major win under the CBD.”         More information Results of COP 16 Information on operationalization of the mechanism  Status of the latest activities on DSI

We should be very worried. #polish presidential #election 1st round has shown that right wing, #eu skeptics, & extreme social conservatives outnumber centrists & leftists!

Now is the time to exercise your civic power, to give hope to #poland. A potential future leader of the EU, only if we elect a centrist or leftist #president of Poland!

I’m so proud that I could vote for Magda Biejat, an incredible woman who spoke against #genocide, for wealth #redistribution and an #equitable future!

I'm the recommender (editor) for a #RegisteredReport @pcirr on a relationship between 🎶 #music and 🗨️ #language in 26 languages across the globe 🌍

It's exciting to see my innovation of programmatic registered reports (1 Stage 1 can result in 2+ Stage 2s) take flight and be adapted by others! 🎉 Savage and colleagues push it to the max - there will be 27 Stages 2s from this one Stage 1 🤩

👏 I love how they took my innovation and innovated it even more by using it to make #BigTeamScience more #equitable. All co-authors are on the Stage 1, whereas each site will produce its own Stage 2, thus allowing many authors to move into the first and last author positions and receive the deserved credit for their contributions
