This a moment that demands coordinated, decisive & innovative action.

This is, above all, a human crisis that calls for solidarity.

Environmental threats require effective responses.

Environmental governance - the rules, policies & institutions - shapes how we interact with the environment.

By building robust governance systems we can safeguard the environment & human rights.

Here's how @UNDP is working for women's equal political participation: https://t.co/505fNRoUkB

[UN Climate Change @UNFCCC]

Cities account for more than 70% of global emissions & consume 2/3 of the world's energy.

By 2050, 2/3 of all people will live in a city.

To win the fight against #ClimateChange, we must make the transition to sustainable, low-emission cities.

Emissions from the cooling sector are set to grow by 90% by 2050.

We need to turn this challenge into a super solution by promoting efficient, climate-friendly cooling for all.

Greening our cities is just one of many ways we can keep cool in a hotter climate. #ClimateAction

Food is what brings us together, yet not everyone has access to the food they need.

Food is a human right! By working together we can achieve food security for all!

[Food and Agriculture Organization @FAO]

#DYK volume of water used to produce lost or wasted food is equivalent to 3x the volume of Lake Geneva?

Our water is limited and we can't produce our food without it. We need to reduce our #foodwaste for a #ZeroHunger 🌎!

[Food and Agriculture Organization @FAO]

When we make food choices we need to think about the 🌍 too!

🔸Reduce your food print
🔸Diversify your diet
🔸Eat sustainably sourced fish
🔸Keep food fresh and waste less

We can all take action👉https://t.co/RfC5YKVCUD

[Food and Agriculture Organization @FAO]

The knowledge and practices of farmers and food producers from all over the world are at the core of #agroecology.

We need to recognize the value and knowledge of the people who produce our food.
