#WorldEnvironmentDay might be wrapping up, but the climate challenge isn’t. Neither is the growing movement of people, cities and countries taking action.
This is just a glimpse of the action, ideas and momentum driving climate action around the 🌎.
Let’s keep it going #NowForClimate: https://t.co/SKg07kn0En
Communities in Sudan’s Blue Nile State are on the frontline of the climate crisis, with rising risks hitting women hardest and fueling conflict.
This UNEP report calls for hope through action: weaving climate resilience into peacebuilding for sustainable recovery.

What harmful chemicals are people exposed to through the air they breathe, the water they drink or the food they eat?
UNEP & @thegef are working to strengthen monitoring of mercury and persistent organic pollutants to better understand and address chemical pollution: https://t.co/JNgKUkOf8O
Young people play an important role in creating a healthier, more sustainable planet.
UNEP engages youth through different programs, giving them the tools and support to make a difference for the environment.

The #BonnClimateConference concluded with a call for scaling digital and AI climate solutions.
From drought-resistant farming to AI early warning systems, here are four ways climate technologies are helping communities in adapting to climate change: https://t.co/UGw8k75AyM
Almost 500,000 people die each year from heat-related causes.
A new report from @UNEPCCC finds that countries are increasingly recognizing health impacts in climate plans, but stronger implementation is needed to turn commitments into action: https://t.co/Zi39UCtPhm
Wild salmon are disappearing from Canada’s rivers due to habitat loss, climate change, overfishing and disease.
But this does not have to be the case.
A #GenerationRestoration effort has restored more than 65,000 hectares of land and waterways to protect salmon and their habitats. At six of the seven sites, salmon numbers are already rising.

There was a time when extreme heat was relatively rare.
But not anymore.
Heatwaves, which are already responsible for almost 500,000 deaths a year, are becoming more frequent, more intense and more dangerous.
To help, here are nine ways to stay cool when the temperatures spike:

AI data centres are hungry for land, water & power.
I’m calling on every major AI company to publicly disclose the full environmental impact of its systems – as a matter of transparency
No more hidden costs.
No more shifting the burden onto those least able to bear it.
It is time to come clean.
Methane drives around 1/3 of global warming and is 80 times more powerful than CO2. But aggressive cuts could deliver visible temperature benefits within a generation.
That's why I’m launching a global call to cut methane emissions – in waste, agriculture & fossil fuels. This includes setting a new global standard for the oil & gas sector: near-zero methane emissions across the value chain.
For climate, this is the best of times & the worst of times.
The worst – because climate impacts are intensifying & the energy crisis has exposed the deep risks of dependence on fossil fuels.
The best – because the renewables revolution is well underway.
We have the enormous opportunity – and responsibility - to turn this into a moment of resolve, fairness & shared progress. We can finally turn the page on fossil fuels & write a future powered by renewables & rooted in climate justice.
Methane is responsible for about a third of today’s global warming.
UNEP and @BloombergDotOrg are stepping up efforts to help countries investigate and act on major methane leaks detected from space, with a goal of reaching an 80% response rate by 2030.

Cutting methane emissions is one of the fastest, cheapest and most effective ways to slow global warming.
At #LCAW2026 UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres set out priority actions for governments, industry and financial institutions to accelerate methane reductions this decade.
His call to action: https://t.co/dP4MFrLegd
The climate crisis & the energy crisis may seem separate, but they share the same destructive origin:
Fossil fuels.
And they demand the same answer: A fast, fair transition to clean energy & a surge in adaptation, resilience & climate justice for those already facing climate harm.
Before food reaches our plates, it goes through a long and complex journey.
From farm to fork, innovators are cutting waste, restoring nature and making food systems work #ForPeopleForPlanet.

The world spends billions to protect nature, yet trillions still fund its degradation.
This imbalance is driving climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.
But it can be reversed.
Here’s how: https://t.co/4SQmAOqwqw
Air pollution is often invisible, but its impacts are not.
We’re launching a photo call to document its sources, impacts and the solutions bringing cleaner air to communities globally.
Selected entries will be featured for the International Day of Clean Air.
