🌍 How can social sciences help governments prepare for crises and design better policies for the future? Geoff Mulgan explains “knowledge twins”: tools that help leaders make smarter, more resilient decisions in uncertain times. At UNESCO, we act as a global laboratory of ideas, supporting countries to build policies... that protect people and planet. 🔗show more

@geoffmulgan Ya'll just destroying the globe with all your toxic love. Its 2026 and people still can't stop killing each other.

@geoffmulgan Very true. Government departments mostly work as independent silos, often in competition with each other and at cross purposes.

When UNESCO speaks of “better policies”, “smarter decisions” and protecting “people and planet”, does it know precisely what these concepts mean? If yes, please explain their meanings and how you came to know them. If not, why not? Before we teach or guide others, we must know what we are talking about.

@geoffmulgan The world isn’t weird—it simply hasn’t yet figured out how to unite, take the profit motive out of the arms trade, and organize planetary trade for the benefit of everyone. 🌍

@geoffmulgan seeing social sciences guide policies feels like actually using brains for once, finally.
