For our final session of the #TortoiseG7bnSummit we’re joined by:
@GayleSmith, CEO @ONECampaign,
@lisanandy, Shadow Secretary for Foreign Affairs
@IvoHDaalder, President, @ChicagoCouncil

“When I look at where we are, I don't think I've seen anything like this in my lifetime” – @IvoHDaalder, President
@ChicagoCouncil, in the final session of the #TortoiseG7bnSummit

@IvoHDaalder @ChicagoCouncil “Fragmentation with utterly failed leadership, I have never seen a circumstance, where the circumstances were even half as dire as they are now, where global leadership has failed to come together” – @GayleSmith CEO @ONECampaign

"The power of the Black Lives Matter movement is that citizens have said enough, we are done we are not doing this anymore." – @GayleSmith. CEO, @ONECampaign

"There is no way of solving the major challenges we face without solving the problems of the US and China." – @lisanandy, UK Shadow Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs

We run the risk of having a “food fight over the vaccine and extending the lifespan of the pandemic” if leaders do not cooperate internationally.

@GayleSmith, CEO of @ONECampaign

"We [the UK] have gained a reputation as an alliance breaker rather than an alliance maker." – @lisanandy at the #TortoiseG7bnSummit

"There's a narrow line between nationalism and patriotism and we need to more on the latter side to counter the dangers we're seeing on the former." – @GayleSmith CEO @ONECampaign
