Now at the 2026 @IPUparliament Parliamentary Hearing at the UN: @IshaanShahUN of @c4unwn reminds us that Chapter 4 of the Pact for the Future is focused on youth and future generations but there is a gap between what is happening at the @UN & what's happening on the ground.

Today, the @UN @UNECOSOC marks its 80th anniversary.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

[María Fernanda Espinosa @mfespinosaEC]

Speaking with @GZERO Media, I took the opportunity to call for stronger #multilateralism, rooted in reform not rhetoric.
As the world reassesses its security commitments, world organisations must eliminate wasteful overlap and streamline bureaucracies. In today’s age every dollar should go towards mitigating global security risks and fund effective multilateralism.

On #WorldCitiesDay, we reaffirm that our cities are the front line of peace and development. By 2050, nearly 70% of the world’s population will live in #cities. Together, international organisations and local actors must build smarter, more liveable, and resilient urban futures. Innovation and collaboration are key.
