We cannot afford to replicate the inequalities and injustices that continue condemning tens of millions of people to lives of want, poverty & poor health.
We need to come together — across countries & sectors— to support those countries who need the most help. #DavosAgenda
The Group of 77 & China play a critical role in keeping the views, concerns & ideas of the developing world at the centre of the @UN’s decisions.
I commend Guinea for its leadership of the G77 & China last year & congratulate Pakistan which will chair the Group in 2022.
I'm deeply saddened by the lives lost in the apartment building fire in the Bronx on Sunday.
My thoughts are with everyone who has been affected by this tragedy, and with our host city New York.
Our fragile planet is hanging by a thread.
Every fraction of a degree warming matters.
We need maximum ambition – from all countries on all fronts – to keep the 1.5 degree warming goal of the #ParisAgreeement alive.
It's time to go into emergency mode.
As societies become increasingly multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-cultural, we need greater investment in inclusivity.
Tolerance is not enough.
We must learn to respect each other and to love each other.
I would like to express my deep gratitude to everyone around the world who has helped save lives and livelihoods this year amid #COVID19.
Your service & courage are an example to us all.
Peace is not a passive acceptance of the status quo.
It is a concrete act; a choice; sometimes a difficult one.
But in our fractured world, it is a vital one. It is the only one.
In a world where we can choose anything, let us choose peace.
Announcing the ₿trust board: @actuallyCarlaKC, @ihate1999, @obi, & @ojomaochai! I'm so grateful for you all and so inspired. 🧡⚡️🌍
They'll now work towards defining the operating principles as they think about how to best distribute the 500 bitcoin towards development efforts.
Wealthy countries are quickly vaccinating their people and investing in recovery.
But developing countries are being left behind — short of vaccines and mired in debt.
Recovery for all depends on equality for all. #OnlyTogether
Low vaccination rates — combined with deeply unequal access to vaccines — are creating a breeding ground for #COVID19 variants.
We need true vaccine solidarity — now. #OnlyTogether
1 in 5 refugee or internally displaced women have faced sexual violence.
We must ensure that forcibly displaced women and girls are protected & empowered.
Survivors must be supported to heal & recover and perpetrators must be brought to justice.

Violence against women & girls must be treated as the emergency it is - with resources, laws & political will.
@GlobalSpotlight is a proven model to ensure that the next generation of girls will not be expected to live in fear.

My message to young people, indigenous communities, women leaders, all those leading on #ClimateAction:
I know you might be disappointed. But we're in the fight of our lives & this fight must be won.
Never give up.
Never retreat.
Keep pushing forward.
I am with you.

I had a fascinating & frank discussion with students & faculty of @Cambridge_Uni on ethics of climate change.
Actually listening to young people is critical. They are our best allies for #ClimateAction.
Not taking into account future generations is ethically indefensible.
