@UNEP If we know and follow (respect, advocate, promote and protect the rights of women) the life-giver of all humans, and if we do the same for our Mother Earth, we will solve, most if not all, of our many interconnected global challenges.

“The science has shown that the women are the most affected by climate change and women are the biggest percentage of humanity. It means that we hold half of humanity. And we are the most affected by climate change.” – 🇷🇼’s Jeanne d'Arc Mujawamariya during the High Level Dialogue on Gender Responsive Just Transitions & Climate Action. #COP28

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I am alarmed by what is happening in Antarctica where the evidence overwhelmingly shows that there is an acceleration of melting of ice, which could be catastrophic to coastal communities everywhere.

What happens in Antarctica doesn’t stay in Antarctica.

A joy and bounty to moderate the first plenary session, exploring the linkages between planetary health, indigenous knowledge and traditional medicine at the first WHO GlobalSummit on TraditionalMedicine being held, Gandhinagar, India #PlanetaryCrisis #planetaryhealth

Every year, the world loses 12 million hectares of forests through deforestation.

Indigenous peoples are on the frontline of global conservation efforts. But critical support is needed, as they continue to fight for our planet’s ecological well-being.

The #IPCC Synthesis Report says we need urgent #climateaction to secure a liveable future for all.

To keep warming to 1.5°C requires deep, rapid and sustained #greenhousegasemissions reductions in all sectors.

Indigenous Peoples reflect humanity’s magnificent diversity.

But around the world, millions of Indigenous Peoples are losing their lands, rights & resources.

The @UN is committed to keep promoting their rights in all of our work areas & amplifying their voices at all levels.

[The Sir Michael Marmot Institute of Health Equity @marmotihe]

As @BBCNewsnight highlighted, government commitment is a prerequisite to reduce health inequalities – eating healthily is not a choice if you have to spend 74% of your income on healthy food explains @MichaelMarmot – we know what to do: #BuildBackFairer – a thread

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Climate justice is both a moral imperative & a prerequisite for effective global #ClimateAction.

The climate crisis can only be overcome through cooperation – between peoples, cultures, nations, generations.

Let's work together to get the job done.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

A safe, secure digital space begins with the protection of free speech.

But it doesn’t end there.

Governments, tech companies & social media platforms have a responsibility to prevent the spread of hate speech, bullying & disinformation online.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

A majority of @UN member countries now acknowledge that the Security Council should be reformed to reflect today’s geopolitical realities.

I hope regional groups & countries can work together to achieve greater consensus on the way forward and the modalities of reform.

Food for thought for 2022 end of the year: read and reflect on the Tiohtià:ke statement, by participants at @IUHPE2022

@IUHPE Planetary health promotion and restoring biodiversity is about what we can all do for the planet, not what the planet can do for us. Mother Nature has done more than enough for us, despite our relentless waging war against Her.

Congratulations! Mālō e ngāue lahi!

On Friday's International Day to End Violence Against Women, I call on governments to increase funding by 50% by 2026 to women’s rights organizations & movements.

Let’s take a stand and raise our voices in support of women’s rights.

Let’s proudly declare: We are all feminists.

[United Nations @UN]

Women & girls are frequently the targets of online abuse & violence.

We are on the cusp of a food revolution as profound as invention of agriculture. As long as we get certain things right, anyone who cares about the perpetuation of life on Earth should embrace it. My column.
