Meaningful exchange with @r_velascoa, Mexico’s Secretary of Foreign Affairs, on the sidelines of the #AIandHumanDev convening.

Discussed Mexico’s partnership across the UN System, including the UN80 Initiative, Women, Peace and Security, and efforts to ensure emerging technologies advance sustainable development.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

AI is already asking us to reconsider everything we know, or think we know, about knowledge, trust, creativity, education, work and human dignity.

Here in Mexico City, we are joined by thinkers from around the region for our second convening on #AIandHumanDev to explore how we protect our social fabric, deepen our understanding of humanity, strengthen our relationships, and weaving in indigenous knowledge for a future that leaves no one behind.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

As the world looks beyond 2030, the conversation about what comes next has already begun.

Africa must not be a chapter in someone else’s draft. Africa must hold the pen.

Our commitment at the UN is to help ensure that the value created on this continent stays on this continent and paves the way for future generations.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

Advancing the energy transition at speed and scale has never been more urgent.

Critical energy transition minerals are central to this shift.

A truly just transition must deliver fair, equitable and sustainable outcomes for producing countries and communities, while upholding human rights and environmental integrity at every stage.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

A city loves its people back when it protects their dignity and gives them a stake in its prosperity.

The New Urban Agenda gives us that clear path. The Review shows us the gap between ambition and reality.

Now is the time to close that gap.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

The Pact for the Future reflects our shared commitment to building a multilateral system that delivers better for people and planet.

Civil society and other stakeholders helped shape it, and their continued engagement is vital to turning its commitments into real change.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

The 69th #ECOWAS Summit comes at a decisive moment for the region.

A moment for conviction: conviction about what Africa must secure for itself, and what it must demand from the world.

The United Nations will continue to accompany the region on this path and the future Africa defines for itself.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

Pleased to meet with HE @julius_maadabio, President of Sierra Leone and Chair of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government.

We applaud his leadership of ECOWAS and his commitment to strengthening regional cooperation, advancing peace and addressing humanitarian challenges across the region.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

ECOWAS remains at the heart of our shared efforts to advance peace, strengthen good governance and promote economic integration for the people of West Africa.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

“The millions across our globe who stand expectant at the gates of hope look to the UN to bring them peace, to bring them prosperity and to bring them a life of dignity.”

On #MandelaDay, I am reminded of these words by Madiba in his address to the General Assembly — and of the hope the UN carries: to listen, to act and to deliver for the people we serve.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

Young people must be the co-creators of a fairer and more sustainable future, with their ideas, energy and determination shaping the future today.

On #WorldYouthSkillsDay, let us commit to ensuring they have the skills, tools and opportunities they need to succeed.

[United Nations @UN]

Young people are the leaders of today, and tomorrow.

On Wednesday’s #YouthSkillsDay, let's celebrate their contributions and commit to supporting youth with the right skills to shape a better future for all generations.

A pleasure to welcome Prime Minister @sanchezcastejon as the new Co-Chair of the SDG Advocates, alongside Prime Minister @miaamormottley, at a time of growing complexity and development challenges.

With less than five years to go, we must close financing gaps, raise ambition and strengthen partnerships to change our current trajectory and deliver on the promise of the #SDGs.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

Every dollar invested in renewable energy returns four in health, food security, education and livelihoods.

We must accelerate a just, inclusive, equitable and clean energy transition by tripling global renewable energy capacity and doubling the global rate of energy efficiency improvements by 2030.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

It is hope that keeps the flame of light burning in our darkest hours.

Let us keep the flame of hope shining bright for a world of peace and a life of dignity for all.

[United Nations @UN]

Sunday is the International Day of Hope.

At a time when people and communities are facing persistent challenges, hope can be a guiding principle to help inspire action for a better world.

Four years after the #TransformingEducation Summit, education is facing an even stronger current of crises.

At the very moment we should be doubling down, the world is pulling back.

TES+4 must be a turning point, putting education back at the centre of the global agenda as the great enabler of every learner, every economy, and every hope we have for 2030 and beyond.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

It is always great to meet with President @CyrilRamaphosa.

At this decisive moment for #SDG4, South Africa’s leadership of the High-Level Steering Committee is deeply valued as we work together to transform education and deliver for learners everywhere.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

Peace begins in a classroom. So does a strong, sustainable economy.

Grateful to the High-Level Steering Committee on #SDG4 for their work in advancing education as the foundation for every ambition we hold.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

The Secretary-General’s 2022 #TransformingEducation Summit put the crisis in education at the top of the global agenda.

Four years later, with the leadership of @UNESCO_DG, we gathered in Paris at a critical moment to take stock of progress, accelerate action and reimagine the future of education beyond 2030.
