Today from the base of Mt. Everest, I saw for myself the terrible impact of the climate crisis on the Himalayas.

As temperatures rise, glacier melt increases - threatening the lives and livelihoods of entire communities.

#ClimateAction can’t wait.

Much-needed contribution from @pass_blue @Strat4Humanity and @UNAUK to support greater transparency - and by extension merit - in senior UN appointments.

This should be welcomed by colleagues inside and outside the 🇺🇳

@Leahinitiative delivers scathing, powerful words at #COP27

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The climate crisis is the fight of our lives - and we are losing.

But one thing is certain: those that give up are sure to lose.

So let’s fight on together.

And let’s win.

#COP27

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Net zero commitments can't be a mere public relations exercise if we want to win the fight against climate change.

We must have zero tolerance for greenwashing.

The report from my Net-Zero Expert Group will help us move to the net-zero future we need: https://t.co/tvMrDeY4ye
