For climate, this is the best of times & the worst of times.

The worst – because climate impacts are intensifying & the energy crisis has exposed the deep risks of dependence on fossil fuels.

The best – because the renewables revolution is well underway.

We have the enormous opportunity – and responsibility - to turn this into a moment of resolve, fairness & shared progress. We can finally turn the page on fossil fuels & write a future powered by renewables & rooted in climate justice.

[Daniel Barenboim @DBarenboim]

Climate tipping points are closer than they appear.
The longer we delay action, the greater the risk of irreversible damage to the systems that sustain life on Earth.
We must act now. #ClimateAction @antonioguterres @UN

#NowForClimate #WorldEnvironmentDay

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The past eleven years have been the hottest on record.

Every fraction of a degree brings greater harm – especially to the most vulnerable.

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, warning signals are everywhere.

This is the moment to act for our environment & for our future.

#EarthDay is a reminder of the fragility of our world.

But we know what must be done:

End our addiction to fossil fuels.
Accelerate the renewables revolution.
Protect & restore nature.
Deliver climate justice for the most vulnerable.

Let’s #ActNow – for people & planet.

“The UN is a living promise – a promise that despite our differences, we will solve problems together.”
I couldn’t agree more with @‌UnitedNations Secretary-General @‌antonioguterres.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

We cannot be bystanders to injustice, indifference, or impunity.

And we have the power to chart a different course.

The @UN Charter gives us our compass.

Our pursuit for peace with justice gives us our purpose.

And our common humanity gives us the imperative to act.

[Daniel Barenboim @DBarenboim]

I couldn’t agree more with UN Sec-Gen @‌antonioguterres: “A safer world begins by investing more in fighting poverty and less in fighting wars.”
As he rightly says: “It’s clear the world has the resources to lift lives, heal the planet, and secure a future of peace and justice."

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Let’s resolve to get our priorities straight in 2026.

Let’s invest more in fighting poverty & less in fighting wars.

Let’s heal the planet & secure a future of peace & justice.

Let’s rise together:

For justice, humanity & peace.

I wish you all a peaceful #NewYear!

I agree with UN Secretary-General @‌antonioguterres: “We must never give up. No matter the challenge. No matter the obstacle. No matter the hour.”

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

My message to world leaders at #UNGA:

No matter the challenge or the hour, we must - and we will - overcome.

We must never give up.

For peace.

For dignity.

For justice.

For humanity.

For the world we know is possible when we work as one.

I will never, ever give up.

Countries that cling to fossil fuels are sabotaging their economies.

Driving up costs, undermining competitiveness, locking-in stranded assets.

They are missing the greatest economic opportunity of the 21st century: the renewable energy revolution.

[Daniel Barenboim @DBarenboim]

II agree with @‌antonioguterres: “It is understandable to get overwhelmed by the turmoil of our world. But as we look to the year ahead, we must never lose sight of progress and potential.”
I support the United Nations's mission to build a better, more sustainable future for all.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

From day one, the UN has represented the conscience of the world.

We will never lose sight of hope.

Sticking to principles. Speaking the truth. Never giving up.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Doubling down on fossil fuels is absurd.

The clean energy revolution is here.

No group, no business, and no government can stop it.

Leaders at #COP29 can and must ensure it is fair and fast enough to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C.

[Daniel Barenboim @DBarenboim]

To build #OurCommonFuture for all of humanity, we need not just agreement, but action, as @antonioguterres told world leaders as they adopted a Pact for the Future.
We all need to #ActNow to build a safer, more inclusive & sustainable world for everyone.

The first concert of the Divan's 25th anniversary year took place in a sold-out Berlin Philharmonie, where the audience gave the musicians and Maestro @DBarenboim standing ovations in both parts of the concert. 💛

The Security Council just approved a long-awaited resolution on Gaza, demanding an immediate ceasefire, and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.

This resolution must be implemented. Failure would be unforgivable.

[Daniel Barenboim @DBarenboim]

An uplifting way to start the week! Here's Maestro Barenboim leading the @Vienna_Phil in Strauss's "Ohne Sorgen" from the 2014 New Year's Concert. Stream the full performance on @medicitv.
