As climate impacts intensify, leaders from across the world are gathering for #UNGA81. Across the world, we are seeing these impacts strike faster, hit harder and last longer. The United Nations is leading the fight back. Together, we can keep the Climate Promise and deliver #ForPeopleForPlanet.

As global temperature rise is likely to cross 1.5°C within the next few years, we need #ClimateAction solutions that deliver real results. On #WorldOzoneDay we celebrate one of these solutions - the #MontrealProtocol. Follow @unepozone.bsky.social to learn more: ozone.unep.org/ozone-day/gl...

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.

For too long, we have treated #ClimateAction as a cost to be managed and air pollution as the unfortunate outcome of development. Today, on #CleanAirDay, we can - and must - reframe the conversation around climate and air pollution. New @unep.org report explains how: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

The world came to #UNCCDCOP17 in Ulaanbaatar committed to the fact that if we restore land, we can restore hope in a future where we all thrive. The past two weeks have helped move us forward, but the work to restore our lands continues. And so does the hope. My statement: lnkd.in/p/drn7wYEg

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.

Thanks to @unepozone.bsky.social, 99% of ozone-depleting substances have been phased out - many of which are powerful greenhouse gases. If we curb these pollutants and shield carbon sinks from UV damage, we could prevent up to 1°C of warming by 2100 to support the #ParisAgreement: ow.ly/Ht1c50Zjc6p

Every $1 the 🌍invests in protecting nature, we spend $30 destroying it. We can either finance nature’s destruction or power its recovery. And why a @unep.org report calls for a major shift in global financing of nature-based solutions & phasing out harmful investments: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

The Global Environment Outlook shares a simple choice for humanity. A future devastated by climate change, dwindling nature, degraded land & polluted air. Or we change direction to secure a healthy planet, people & economies. This is no choice at all. More on #GEO7: www.unep.org/interactives...
