For the Pacific, crossing 1.5°C is not an abstract future scenario. They're already surviving the #ClimateCrisis impacts. At the recent Pacific Island Forum Heads of State meeting, I said 1.5°C remains the goal. @unep.org overshoot report shows how this is possible: www.unep.org/resources/li...

Pleased to meet Abdulsalam Al-Awadhi, Republic of Yemen's Head of Mission to Kenya. We discussed the serious situation in Yemen. Even after the guns fall silent, the toxic legacy of chemicals and destruction of water and land lasts for decades. @unep.org echoes the calls of the Secretary-General.

We must recognise the role land plays in global security. This was the message at the #UNCCDCOP17 High-Level Ministerial on Security and Migration. Healthy land strengthens resilience & stability. Degraded land intensifies competition for resources, deepens insecurity & forcibly displaces people.

Land is life. As #UNCCDCOP17 continues in Mongolia, this years theme reminds us if we restore our lands, we restore hope in our shared future.
