Reimagining Philanthropy explores transformative and decolonialized approaches to philanthropy that can shift our sector from traditional top-down models toward more equitable, community-centered practices. In community, we explore how philanthropic organizations can share power authentically, center affected communities in decision-making, and build truly reciprocal relationships. "How can you think about creating civic spaces when those who fight for them are being threatened?" Funding, safety, democracy promotion, and community control in the Global South cannot be understood in isolation from one another.

TikTok, one of the world's most popular social media platforms, announced Wednesday that it will build its first data center in Latin America in Brazil, near the city of Fortaleza. The project represents a $38 billion investment. The Chinese company's supercomputers, which have revolutionized the internet with their short videos that are followed by hundreds of millions of users, will be operational in 2027 and will be powered exclusively by 100% renewable energy, according to a TikTok statement.

Participants frequently described Brazilians as warm and expressive people. Many described their social contexts as centered on warmth, collectivity, and joy. Physical affection-greeting kisses and embraces-serves as social currency. Gathering around food, music, and dance isn't just leisure; participants described these as essential to connection itself. But when sociability is culturally prized, admitting loneliness feels like personal failure. One participant explained: "Loneliness is more camouflaged...it's wrong to talk about being alone, being unwell, being sad, it's disturbing."

This November marks the first Conference of the Parties (COP) meeting since we learned the planet has likely already warmed beyond the 1.5-degree-Celsius post-industrial global heating threshold. That number represented a pledge made by the Paris Climate Agreement a decade ago, a benchmark to curb greenhouse gases in the hope of slowing the rise of the Earth's temperature. COP, a gathering of countries working in tandem for concrete actions to slow climate change,

Eder Militao is set for a spell on the sidelines after he sustained an adductor injury while on duty for Brazil. Militao was forced off after an hour on Tuesday, as Brazil drew 1-1 with Tunisia in a friendly in Lille. Carlo Ancelotti did not explain what the defender's issue was, but Real Madrid have now confirmed Militao has suffered an adductor issue, and he is a doubt for Sunday's LaLiga clash with Elche.

Though a 3-2 defeat to Japan in October raised some concerns, Brazil were impressive in beating Senegal in London on Saturday, sweeping aside a dangerous opponents thanks to goals from Estevao and Casemiro. The only blemish on the performance was a thigh injury for Gabriel that will keep the Arsenal defender out of the game with Tunisia. Brazil will hope to retain defensive solidity in his absence, with midfielder Bruno Guimaraes praising Ancelotti for improving the Selecao's rearguard.

Brazil's environment minister, Marina Silva, has urged all countries to have the courage to address the need for a fossil fuel phaseout, calling the drawing up of a roadmap for it an ethical response to the climate crisis. She emphasised, however, that the process would be voluntary for those governments that wished to participate, and self-determined. The issue is one of the most controversial at the Cop30 summit in Brazil, with countries fighting over whether and how such a roadmap can be discussed.

Lucas Pinheiro Braathen made skiing history as he delivered Brazil's first-ever World Cup victory in a thrilling season-opening race at Levi on Sunday. Pinheiro Braathen, who switched allegiance from Norway to Brazil last year, held a commanding 0.41-seconds lead from the first run and weaved his way down through the gates again in an ice-cool second run to claim the landmark win.

We have to face a lot of contractions at this Cop, she told me. The biggest one, she said, is the exploitation of resources taking place to make the conference happen. Brazil wants to be considered a global climate leader but they just do this to show off. It's just discourse, she said. They cannot do that while opening new oil exploration. For us, doing this Cop in the most sensitive zone in the Atlantic is even worse.

The campaign involves two components: A self-propagating malware referred to as SORVEPOTEL that's spread via the desktop web version of WhatsApp and is used to deliver a ZIP archive containing the Maverick payload. The malware is designed to monitor active browser window tabs for URLs that match a hard-coded list of financial institutions in Latin America. Should the URLs match, it establishes contact with a remote server to fetch follow-on commands to gather system information and serve phishing pages to steal credentials.

Brazil's president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has welcomed world leaders to Belém for the first climate summit in the Amazon, where conservationists hope he can be a champion for the rain forest and its people. But with a divided administration, a hostile Congress, and 20th-century developmentalist instincts, this global figurehead of the center left has a balancing act to perform in advocating protection of nature and a reduction of emissions.

Brazil on Thursday unveiled long-awaited details of a plan to pay countries to preserve their tropical forests and announced it had already drawn $5.5 billion in pledges. The fund is President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's flagship project as he welcomes world leaders to the edge of the Amazon for the United Nations annual climate summit an effort to draw attention and money to the imperiled rainforest crucial to curbing global warming.

Brazil's president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, has said his government will seek an independent investigation into what he called a disastrous police massacre that left at least 121 people dead. Four officers and at least 117 others were killed when police launched a major assault on two of Rio's largest clusters of favelas, the Complexo do Alemao and the Complexo da Penha, early last Tuesday to execute 100 arrest warrants.

MercadoLibre (NASDAQ: MELI) will report third-quarter results after the bell Tuesday. Last quarter, MELI posted revenue of $6.79 billion, up 30% year-on-year, but missed EPS forecasts as normalized earnings came in at $10.31 versus consensus of $11.75, a 12% downside surprise. Despite the margin pressure from free-shipping and marketing campaigns, management reiterated confidence that these initiatives will accelerate user engagement and long-term monetization.

Sugar is one of the most fundamental food products in the world, and the countries that supply the most sugar are unsurprisingly spread out all over the globe. Sugar, of course, comes from all different kinds of crops, but when it comes to the commercial production of the different types of sugar we use in cooking and baking, two dominate.

I'm about to turn 80 but you can be sure that I've got as much energy as I did when I was 30. And I'm going to run for a fourth term in Brazil, announced Lula, who celebrates his birthday on Monday.

A new report from the nonprofit Coffee Watch says that modern coffee production in Brazil continues to be a significant driver of deforestation, with hundreds of thousands of hectares of native forest cleared inside coffee farm boundaries since 2001. Beyond the global implications for biodiversity and climate change, the continued loss of forest in key coffee regions presents economic threats to the Brazilian coffee sector, driving a cycle of drought and yield volatility, according to the report.

In a room full of coffee roasters last week, longtime green coffee trader Mark Inman asked for a show of hands. How many people started buying green coffee professionally within the past few years? Approximately half the room raised a hand, to which Inman replied, "I'm sorry. I apologize. It does get better, trust me, but you're going to come out of the other end of this time with more knowledge than people who have been buying green coffee for 15, 20 years."

Customers at a supermarket on Avenida Rua Bolivar in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, are positively surprised at the price changes they've been experiencing over the past few weeks, as they are now paying significantly less for coffee and meat, for example. "Finally, some good news in these difficult times," says shopper Julienne Freitas, while speaking with DW. Her experience is not anecdotal, but rather echoed by a recent survey from Brazil's Inter-Union Department of Statistics and Socio-Economic Studies (DIEESE)
