Land degradation threatens food and water security, livelihoods, economies and social stability. Everyone can be part of #GenerationRestoration.
At #UNCCDCOP17, countries are working together to restore land and build resilience to drought.

Conflicts in different regions are choking arteries of global trade & squeezing the global food system.
Navigational rights & freedoms are vital for international peace & security & the flow of essential goods.
My appeal:
- full respect for international law – including law of the sea & international humanitarian law
- protection for civilian shipping, infrastructure & civilian seafarers
- upholding of navigational rights & freedoms
- an immediate end to attacks against commercial shipping & civilian infrastructure in the Black Sea
- full restoration & respect of navigational rights & freedoms in the Strait of Hormuz
- an end to attacks against shipping in the Red Sea & around Bab al-Mandab.
On #WorldHumanitarianDay this week, the UN Geneva flags were lowered to half-mast to honor aid workers who lost their lives in the line of duty.
Despite int. humanitarian law, humanitarians continue to come under attack: +1,000 of them killed in the past 3 years. #ActforHumanity
