βΆοΈ Watch π¬π§@dave_clay on how the tools of the trade may have changed but the goal of preventing and resolving conflict remains paramount‡οΈ
Today @antonioguterres set out his 10 priorities for #ClimateAction in 2020, building on the outcomes of his Climate Action Summit
π¬π§ will work closely with the Secretary-General to support his priorities as we together tackle the #climatecrisis and raise ambition for #COP26
My grandfather served in the Canadian Army before transferring to the Durham Light Infantry. From there he was sent to France in 1939. He survived, but hundreds of thousands did not. Today we remember all of those who fought and died. #RemembranceSunday π¬π§π¨π¦
Pleasure to meet @AlokSharma_RDG@DFID_UK and discuss plans for High-Level Week, financing for development and π¬π§ bid to host COP26. My gratitude to the UK for its steadfast support for the UN, and leadership on girlsβ education - a vital element for building the #FutureWeWant
Encouraging discussion with @KwasiKwarteng @beisgovuk on #climatechange and UK leadership on adaptation, financing and the green economy. Excellent to hear about π¬π§ commitment to reach #netzero by 2050 and the #GreenGB initiative - bringing climate action to all stakeholders.
Excellent news that @UN_PGA is visiting π¬π§ next week! #ClimateAction and #UN reform is on the agenda. Donβt forget to pack a brolly! πβοΈ
@UKUN_NewYork @KarenPierceUN
Always great to see @KarenPierceUN @UKUN_NewYork. We discussed the need for High-level Week to produce tangible outcomes and my trip to π¬π§ next week to speak at #YMCA175, @UniOfBuckingham and @UNAUK about making the @UN relevant for all #UN4ALL
Iconic. Emotional. Historic.
#OnThisDay seven years ago, London π¬π§ opened its doors and put on an amazing show to welcome the 2012 Olympic Games.
The cement industry produces 7% of the worldβs carbon dioxide emissions. If it were a country, it would be the third largest emitter, behind the US and China. Only right they start to feel the pressure. π·πΌββοΈπ #ClimateAction

@RoryStewartUK thanks for coming to the UN #HLPF this week and making the case so eloquently for ambitious #ClimateAction. Proud the UK is leading from front. And Iβve just spotted I made it as an extra in one of your films! π¬π§πΊπ³π
@UKUN_NewYork@DFID_UK
Thank you to Dame Karen Pierce and Baroness Sugg for hosting SDG13 reception. We will only deliver the 2030 Agenda if we take ambitious #ClimateAction now!

What a weekend! Thank you #WorldPrideNYC
As @KarenPierceUN said: "We won't stop marching until everyone, everywhere enjoys the right to be themselves, without discrimination, without hate."

At #G20OsakaSummit I committed to ensuring all UK aid is spent in line with the Paris Agreement and urged world leaders to follow the UK's commitment to cut greenhouse gas emissions to #netzero by 2050.
The legislation to amend the Climate Change Act to ensure we are the first G7 country committed to #NetZero by 2050 has this week passed in both the Commons and Lords. I have signed the SI as @beisgovuk Energy Minister- ensuring the legislation will come into force from today
Iβm very pleased to learn of the United Kingdomβs legislation plans - the first for a major world economy - to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. I encourage all countries - big and small - to continue taking decisive #ClimateAction.
