This week, I had the pleasure to join launch of the Shipping Call to Action to decarbonize the sector by 2050 and help keep the 1.5C target of the #ParisAgreement in reach. Congrats to colleagues @glmforum for leading this! Watch here: https://t.co/9vG7ZqcYVU
We can get to a net-zero energy sector by 2050, & energy is the main source of emissions for industry. It's clear: Huge commercial opportunities await for those who move the fastest. At @UN, we'll continue supporting industry transition by working with all actors.

Pleasure joining #ChangeNOW2021. As @antonioguterres said, 2021 must be the year to make peace with nature & set the world on course to achieve #ParisAgreement. To do this, @UN has 3 priorities: mitigating GHG emissions, adapting to climate impacts, & securing climate finance.
Happy #InternationalWomensDay! I join the world to celebrate & recognize the key role women play in driving ambitious #ClimateAction and to ensure that climate action strengthens gender equality. Here's some #IWD2021 inspiration from @UN women leaders: https://t.co/9d6iwEC1OF
What a fun time with #ClimateAction Colleagues today with @herescrod as the chief Climate Quiz officer. Knowledge is never old but I won’t say who had the highest score today.. 😎

Congratulations to @topnigel & @gmunozabogabir on launching the #RaceToResilience campaign at the Climate Ambition Summit 2020. This mobilization of concrete action is important for delivering the breakthrough on adaptation and resilience called for by the @UN SG #ClimateAction
The #RaceToResilience has launched today, putting people and nature first in pursuit of a resilient world where we don’t just survive climate shocks and stresses but thrive in spite of them. Join us in the race to a resilient world: https://t.co/3wElZpGYDe #ClimateAmbitionSummit
Congratulations to @yakisawyerr for making “Freetown the Treetown” and enhancing resilience for residents. A clear step forward as part of the #RaceToResilience#ClimateAction
@miaamormottley called for all to deliver on the “1.5 to stay alive” motto during the #ParisAgreement. Barbados is raising its ambition and plans to have #solar across all rooftops and only electric vehicles across the country by 2030. #ClimateAction
@antonioguterres : #ClimateAction is the the barometer of leadership in our times. Every country, city, and business across all sectors of the economy must set plans for net-zero and join the global coalition for carbon neutrality. #ParisAgreement
From @TheCVF Chair HE Sheikh Hasina, Hon'able Prime Minister of #Bangladesh : "A third of my country was just underwater. The world must act on #climate .. If we don’t increase our ambition, we will all lose out." #1o5C https://t.co/DGofhVt9XW

This is part of a trend that is driving extreme weather events and is jeopardizing our lives & our planet. We cannot wait any longer for bold and decisive #ClimateAction.
Passion, insight and ingenuity today from @antonioguterres new Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change.
Thank you to young people everywhere for leading the charge on
#climateaction#youthday
The climate crisis impacts everyone, but young people will face the biggest consequences over their lifetime.
@UN SG @antonioguterres has launched a new Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change for bold #ClimateAction. We warmly welcome these amazing climate leaders!
Pleased to see some of the world’s largest companies taking #ClimateAction seriously by committing to net-zero emissions across their supply chains. We also count on their transparency, accountability and continued leadership.
Many thanks for the warm welcome @TomWoodroffeUK and @Matthew_Dawes! Looking forward to advancing #ClimateAction in close collaboration with you both and the rest of the 🇬🇧 team ahead of @COP26 in #Glasgow.
