warning labels perform much better in comparison studies.
Joanna McMillanHOST
To be fair, that program advocates for warning labels, and both the fact sheet and the Chile study are funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies.
Joanna McMillanHOST
But the direction of evidence is consistent across many independent studies.
Joanna McMillanHOST
What this means in your supermarket trolley.
Mishal HusainHOST

Mishal HusainHOST
I can now deliver the happy news that Ottolenghi-inspired canapes and drinks are waiting for all of you next door.
Mishal HusainHOST
But before I let you go, I will say, please do listen back to any of the episodes you might have missed.
Anders IbsenHOST
I mean, we're still embarking on our budget process.
Anders IbsenHOST
What I would say just as someone who's working with the Harvard Business School and all of you folks in literally studying the Tacoma Therapeutic Court system to try to improve it through analytics and through the help of the Bloomberg Foundation, not to get ahead of the process, but I would imagine having a data person and someone to help flesh out the program even at a smaller scale, besides just The innate benefit of helping human beings, and probably some cost savings, is we would actually have some pretty nice data to help us with that scaling.
Anders IbsenHOST
So TBD, we still have to have a conversation, obviously, about the timing on this and all the finer details.
Anders IbsenHOST
But this is certainly helpful.
Macy ByersHOST
Sami Mirza explains how the city plans to expand supply.
Sami MirzaCORRESPONDENT
Mayor John Ewing announced Monday morning that the city will get technical expertise and funding of at least $450,000 from Bloomberg Philanthropies.
Sami MirzaCORRESPONDENT
Omaha's program will focus on accelerating the development of accessory dwelling units.
Sami MirzaCORRESPONDENT
ADUs are secondary homes added to an existing single-family house.
Georgia Levenson KeohaneGUEST
But Goldman only stands to lose 2 million.
Georgia Levenson KeohaneGUEST
It's sort of a Well, I won't editorialize on whether that's a classic Goldman sort of structure, return structure, but the reason being because Michael Bloomberg's own philanthropy, Bloomberg Philanthropy's own family foundation, wrote a loan guarantee against the deal so that Goldman can only lose $2 million.
Georgia Levenson KeohaneGUEST
And the reason I raise that, and it sounds a little bit in the weeds, is because this is a very interesting and somewhat new use of philanthropic dollars.
Georgia Levenson KeohaneGUEST
So you can make grants with them, you can do R&D, but you can also mitigate risk for other investors.
Pat SaffordHOST
OK, so Omaha was selected as one of 14 cities across the country for this national housing initiative.
Pat SaffordHOST
It is backed by Bloomberg Philanthropies.
Pat SaffordHOST
And we are now allowed to, we have to obviously apply for a permit, but building miniature mini houses in our backyard.
Pat SaffordHOST
where we could have, it could be like a mother-in-law suite.
Pat SaffordHOST
If you have a big enough yard and you can put a little mini house in the back, you could Airbnb it, pay for your mortgage.
Pat SaffordHOST
You have to apply for it.
Pat SaffordHOST
The city could get up to $750,000 in grants from this Bloomberg Philanthropies, not to help us build the houses, but to help the city change whatever the utilities in the area to accommodate another house on your property.
Pat SaffordHOST
So it's kind of a cool idea.
J. Drake HamiltonGUEST
There are more COP 31 leaders.
J. Drake HamiltonGUEST
The COP 31 presidency and Bloomberg philanthropies announced back in June that they had developed a partnership to advance climate action ahead of COP 31.
J. Drake HamiltonGUEST
And they said, together, we bring together policymakers, businesses, and philanthropies to mobilize finance, deploy innovative technologies, and deliver concrete results.
J. Drake HamiltonGUEST
That it is important to deliver their top priority target of electrification.
Greg LindsayGUEST
I have many.
Greg LindsayGUEST
And since then, we've worked together on projects for like the Bloomberg Philanthropies on implications of autonomous vehicles.
Greg LindsayGUEST
A decade later, half the stuff that we came up with, with Anthony Townsend and others, are finally coming to fruition.
Greg LindsayGUEST
So hopefully this is another case where maybe 10 years from now, chain drain will be solved.
Jon NouchiGUEST
That's what it was, Bloomberg.
Jon NouchiGUEST
Yeah, Bloomberg Foundation.
Jon NouchiGUEST
We did something called the Wahipana Project, and the bus was one of many island-wide art installations, and it was just a super fun way for us to...
Jon NouchiGUEST
I think when you live on an island, and you live on an island...
Roy BahatGUEST
First of all...
Roy BahatGUEST
Mike is a guy who attracts people to him who have a purpose for the kind of work that they're doing that they attach to what they do with him, whether they work at Bloomberg Philanthropies, whether they worked for him when he was mayor, whether they work at the company.
Roy BahatGUEST
And so once people's identity gets wrapped up in being part of this thing, then all of a sudden they meet other people and they're like, yeah, this guy's on a quest too.
Roy BahatGUEST
He wants to make the world better in some
