I’m leaving Dakar for Niger and Nigeria to continue my visit of solidarity, particularly with victims of terrorism.
As we celebrate #EidAlFitra, the @UN stands in full solidarity with the people of the Sahel.
Fossil fuel interests are now cynically using the war in Ukraine to try to lock in a high carbon future.
A shift to renewables is crucial to mending our broken global energy mix & offering hope to millions suffering climate impacts today.

Happy #EarthDay! In 1972, the Apollo 17 mission gave us our first good view of the whole Earth. This iconic photograph, often called the Blue Marble, is one of the most widely distributed images in existence: https://t.co/zRCKx3PlMd
We have seen what is possible when we act as one:
We have shrunk the ozone hole.
We have expanded protections for wildlife & ecosystems.
Now, we must urgently come together to end our war on nature and build lives of dignity & prosperity for all. #EarthDay
A triple crisis - climate change, biodiversity loss & pollution - is threatening the survival of millions of people worldwide.
There is still hope, but we need to do much more & much faster.
We have only one Mother Earth. We must do everything we can to protect her. #EarthDay
I condemn the multiple attacks yesterday in Afghanistan, including on the Seh Dokan mosque in Mazar-e-Sharif during prayers.
I extend my deepest condolences to the families of the victims & wish a swift recovery to those injured.
Today I'm celebrating the beautiful place we call home. This #EarthDay and every day, let's all do our best to make this planet a better place for every person, frog, bear, pig, and whatever that lives here.
