Here are five reasons why accelerating the transition to clean energy is the pathway to a healthy, livable planet. https://t.co/2GZoyAYYmB
“A climate crisis is pushing us deeper toward higher temperatures and closer to catastrophic tipping points. And an energy crisis exposing the folly of a world hooked on hydrocarbons.
They demand the same answer: A fast, fair transition to clean energy”

“Across the world, millions of people continue to be uprooted by conflict, violence, and persecution. This reality can feel overwhelming. But what defines our response is not the scale of the challenge. It is the choices we make.
We can choose to turn away. But we can choose to stand together. And we choose solidarity.” - remarks by UN Philippines Chief @ArnaudPeral on National Refugee Day, delivered by Maria Ermina Valdeavilla-Gallardo, @UNHCRPh Head of Office

The Philippines is among 22 high-risk countries identified in the first-ever Joint Anticipatory Action appeal by @FAO and @WFP, which seeks $202M to protect nearly 9 million people from the impacts of a strengthening El Niño.
The forecasts point to increased risks of droughts, floods, and storms in late 2026, threatening food security, water availability, and livelihoods.
The joint appeal highlights how anticipatory action can save lives and delivers significant cost savings by preventing losses and reducing disaster response costs.

Climate change is no longer a future threat.
Experts from @FAO and @WFP warn that climate extremes, including El Niño, could affect millions of people through droughts, floods, and stronger typhoons.
These will disrupt livelihoods, threaten food security, and trigger economic shocks that affect communities and nations alike.
Acting before disasters strike is far more effective than responding after a crisis. The time to prepare is now to protect our future.
