🌍 On #WorldPortugueseLanguageDay, we celebrate a language that crosses oceans, connecting nearly 300 million people. Portuguese is a global voice of culture, diplomacy and cooperation. Portugal, a Voice at the Table.

Opened #GCW26, highlighting that cyber resilience is not built in moments of crisis. It's built before the next incident thru prep, coop, standards, capacity&trust
@ITU we are working for a safer digital future, connecting policy w/practice and resilience w/inclusion🤝

⏰Last chance to apply!

Can you design a solution to measure and reduce AI’s carbon and water #footprint? This is your final call to join the AI Environmental Footprint Measurement #Hackathon, deadline 27 August 2025. https://t.co/Te5BWAaUkI

Training large #AI models can emit as much CO₂ as five car lifetimes and consume massive amounts of water for cooling. With AI use rapidly expanding, we need transparent, actionable #metrics to drive sustainable development.

Your challenge:
• Measure carbon #emissions from AI training & inference
• Track water usage in #data centers
• Build real-time monitoring solutions
• Provide optimization insights to cut resource use
• Develop lifecycle assessments for AI systems

🏆 Win the chance to present your solution at COP30 in Belem, Brazil.

📅 Timeline:
• Now – 27 Aug: Registration & orientation
• 29 Aug: Proposal submission
• 1–30 Sept: Prototype development with mentorship
• 15 Oct: Final presentations

Today marks the FIRST-EVER #WorldGlaciersDay!

Glaciers are sensitive indicators of climate change and are retreating globally due to rising temperatures. Now is the time for BOLD #ClimateAction.

Agradeço ao Primeiro-Ministro Xanana Gusmão por me ter recebido novamente em Timor-Leste. É uma honra encontrar o líder da resistência que conduziu o povo timorense à independência.

Timor-Leste ganhou a batalha da independência. Timor-Leste ganhou a batalha da democracia.

As @NacoesUnidas têm estado ao lado do povo timorense nesta caminhada e continuarão a fazê-lo na batalha pelo desenvolvimento.

Artificial Intelligence is being deployed with few guardrails & little caution.

Governments, industry, academia & civil society must develop rules & guidelines for AI safety – together & before it is too late.

We have no time to waste.

Welcome to ITU, @UN communicators!
Great to see your agenda starts with #AI.
We called our Global Summit 'AI for Good' on purpose: because we want to zoom in on the benefits of AI and how it links to each of the SDGs.
Together we can demonstrate #AIforGood #ForPeopleForPlanet

[Doreen Bogdan-Martin @ITUSecGen]

Today’s @UN resolution on #AI comes at a pivotal time for tech + humanity.
As AI races forward, we need to ensure no one is left behind.
@ITU already at work to ensure an inclusive + responsible #AIforGood that accelerates progress #ForPeopleForPlanet

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Full legal equality for women is some 300 years away.

This rate of change is frankly insulting.

Half of humanity can’t wait centuries for their rights.

We need equality now.
