I work to promote transformative climate action globally. Views are my own.

“This is a monumental victory for our planet, for our children and a big leap towards a liveable future. The judge has left no room for doubt: #Shell is causing dangerous #climate change and must stop its destructive behaviour now." - @DonaldPols

I welcome the G7's decision to end all international financing of coal this year and I urge them to shift this financing to renewables.

To ensure a speedy and just transition to net zero, it is urgent that G7 and other major economies significantly boost climate finance.

[Selwin Hart @SelwinHart]

Africa is warming faster than the global average with devastating impacts on food & water security, human health, & development. The needs of Africa must be prioritized. We need scaled up finance that is easily accessible to support adaptation & resilience building. #AswanForum

What a fun time with #ClimateAction Colleagues today with @herescrod as the chief Climate Quiz officer. Knowledge is never old but I won’t say who had the highest score today.. 😎

[Hernani Escobar R. @herescrod]

Thanks @estherclimate! Some really good answers from the great #ClimateAction Team!

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I call on leaders worldwide to declare a State of Climate Emergency in their countries until carbon neutrality is reached.

Five years after the #ParisAgreement, we are still not going in the right direction.

Let’s make the promise of a net zero world a reality.

In the wake of COVID-19 and so many unprecedented crises, 2020 has shown us that local leadership matters. That’s why I’m running for the Phoenix City Council in District 7.

6 #ClimateAction decisions countries can make to recover better from #COVID19:

Invest in green jobs.

Don't bail out polluting industries.

End fossil-fuel subsidies.

Take climate risks into account in all financial & policy decisions.

Work together.

Leave no one behind.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

2019 was the second hottest year on record.
2020 may rival those temperatures.

Now is the moment to reconsider the economic models that have failed so many & contributed to the climate crisis.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

We need to stop wasting money on fossil fuel subsidies and the funding of coal.

Coal should have no place in any rational #COVID19 recovery plan.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

We can turn the #COVID19 recovery into a real opportunity for a better future.

We have the policies, the technology & a groundswell of support from people worldwide.

The time for small steps has passed. What is needed now is transformational change.

[Selwin Hart @SelwinHart]

From climate justice to #COVID19, young people know that urgent #ClimateAction is needed for a future that is cleaner, greener & fairer.

@antonioguterres announced today his new Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change to help @UN tackle the climate crisis. https://t.co/34tb9xdhCh

I have a renewable energy joke but it's too cheap

[Selwin Hart @SelwinHart]

COVID19 and the unfolding climate crisis starkly illustrates the stakes & the imperative for urgent action.

We need to turn the recovery into a real opportunity to do things right for the future.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

As the Arab region fights #COVID19, its economy could contract by over 5% - and one quarter of the total Arab population could be pushed into poverty.

We must deepen efforts to address inequalities by investing in universal health, education & technology. https://t.co/2adR3AyOg6

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

We need not only climate action, but also climate justice.

Political leaders must raise their ambition, businesses must raise their sights, and people everywhere must raise their voices.

There is a better way, and we must take it.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

#COVID19 has exposed the lie that free markets can deliver healthcare for all, the fiction that unpaid care work isn't work, the delusion that we live in a post-racist world.

We are all floating on the same sea, but some are in superyachts & others clinging to drifting debris.
