"In the face of lies, hatred and the law of “might makes right” – universities are irreplaceable.

They are places where we learn to question, to verify and to debate.

More than ever, we must protect academic freedom and the independence of research."

My message to world leaders at #COP31:

We know that change is possible.

History has handed us a remarkable opportunity to build economies that are cleaner, societies that are fairer & a world that is safer.

This is not only about climate. It's also about sustainable development, peace & security, and about human dignity.

"Fossil fuels must go the way of the dinosaurs.

But that won’t happen on its own.

The dinosaurs didn't have a lobby.

But fossil fuels do.

And their strategy is simple:

Distort the science. Delay the policy. Delay the action. Delay the accountability."

"Every death from #cholera is preventable with the tools that exist today.

The key is making them available quickly to the communities that are affected." - @who

From day one as @UN Secretary-General, I've been seeking the advice of young people & I did that again today at #COP31.

I have benefitted from their ideas as always & I have asked them to bring their energy & solutions into every room & to keep holding leaders accountable.

A powerful El Niño could bring even more heat & extreme weather through 2027 — raising risks for ecosystems, economies and daily life.

What do you know about the electromagnetic spectrum? It is a foundational enabler of modern military operations, a driver of military innovation, becoming a key arena of strategic competition in modern battlefields.

What happens to our health when trust in science breaks down? Our everyday health is compromised.

Science needs people to shape it, question it, engage with it.

So, join the Together for Science and Health movement to help advance:
- Science that answers the needs of society
- Science-informed policy
- Clear, trusted science communication
