The new Canopy Cut is here! This edition is packed with fresh GEDSI in MSD, Econoimc Growth and Trade resources. Quick reads, practical guidance, and a few infographics that are genuinely worth saving. This round covers:

🔸Care in crisis and conflict settings
🔸Gender and transport systems
🔸Digital and financial inclusion (including AI and gender lens investing)
🔸Climate resilience and what “just transition” means in practice

And much more. As always, it’s not meant to be comprehensive. It’s meant to be useful.
