The earthquake in Turkey is a reminder of the fragility of the world we live in. Disasters, anthropogenic and others are likely to be the new normal. Risk reduction and preparedness are key elements in resilient development planning. Deepest condolences to families of bereaved.

Latest on why COP 27’s loss and damage fund facility must see the light of the day, while climate displaced people deserve legal protection under Refugee Convention 1951. Paris Agreement needs a push for any constructive global #ClimateAction

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I condemn the murder of environmental defenders Aly Domínguez and Jairo Bonilla in Honduras last week, and urge authorities to conduct & swift and independent investigation.

The lives & rights of environmental activists must be protected & respected.

S Asia would still remain one of the most vulnerable regions

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I'm very frustrated that global leaders are still not giving the climate emergency the action and investment it requires.

Words are not enough.

Without #ClimateAction, climate catastrophe is coming for all of us.

Climate action is now a fundamental right. People in vulnerable countries have rights too, to breathe cleaner air, to farm,to live in cities that are not burning up, to have predictability and to have a future. Delaying action is delaying justice. @IPUparliament @COP27P keynote
