This week the world has experienced the three hottest days on record.

Earth is becoming hotter and more dangerous for everyone, everywhere.

We must rise to the challenge of rising temperatures.

Here’s my call to #ClimateAction: https://t.co/G4cwroe32y

[Selwin Hart @SelwinHart]

Earth is becoming hotter & more dangerous for everyone, everywhere. Billions of people around the world are affected by the epidemic of heat.

Join @antonioguterres today at 12:30 EDT for the launch of his Call to Action on Extreme Heat https://t.co/8qZi76JfWv #climateAction

[Selwin Hart @SelwinHart]

The climate crisis is a crisis of political will.
This is a moment that requires maximum acceleration, ambition & cooperation.

Geopolitical divisions and mistrust must not undermine #ClimateAction.

We must unite to keep 1.5C alive. Billions of lives depends on it. #HLPF2024.

As hurricane Beryl rapidly intensifies & barrels towards the Caribbean, I urge my Caribbean brothers & sisters to be prepared & take all precautions.

The poor and vulnerable must be protected. We’re still in June, I’m exhausted using “unprecedented” to describe climate extremes

[UN Spokesperson @UN_Spokesperson]

In a world of unprecedented wealth, knowledge and technologies, the denial of basic needs for so many is outrageous and inexcusable - @antonioguterres

[UN Spokesperson @UN_Spokesperson]

@antonioguterres @AminaJMohammed . @antonioguterres has outlined three areas of a action to achieve the @GlobalGoalsUN:
1️⃣ Action for peace
2️⃣ Action on green & digital transitions
3️⃣ Action on fianance
🕊️🌿💻💵

[UN Spokesperson @UN_Spokesperson]

Our failure to secure peace, to confront climate change, and to boost international finance is undermining development.

We must accelerate action for the Sustainable Development Goals – and we don’t have a moment to lose - @antonioguterres

[Selwin Hart @SelwinHart]

“The truth is… we are burning through the budget at reckless speed – spewing out
around 40 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide a year.

We can all do the math.

At this rate, the entire carbon budget will be busted before 2030.” - @antonioguterres #ClimateAction

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Many governments restrict or prohibit advertising for products that harm human health – like tobacco.

I urge every country to do the same with fossil fuel companies by banning their advertising.

And I urge news media & tech companies to stop taking fossil fuel advertising.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

May 2024 was the hottest May in history, marking 12 straight months of hottest months ever.

Our planet is telling us something, but we don't seem to be listening.

It’s time to mobilise, act & deliver.

It's #ClimateAction crunch time.

[United Nations @UN]

“I urge every country to ban advertising from fossil fuel companies.

And I urge news media & tech companies to stop taking fossil fuel advertising.”

@antonioguterres says we must directly confront those who have been obstructing #ClimateAction progress.https://t.co/nryF7AxXcP

2023 saw record climatic hazards in Latin America & the Caribbean, according to a new @WMO report.

Yet another reminder of the urgent need for #ClimateAction & the importance of early warning systems to provide protection from hazardous weather & climate. https://t.co/LonzGrYscg

In Baku #COP29 comes at a critical moment in our fight against climate change. The @UN will continue to work closely with #Azerbaijan & @COP29_AZ presidency to deliver outcomes that build trust and generate momentum and ambition on the next generation NDCs and climate finance.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Developing countries cannot be shackled to the bottom of the clean energy value chain.

Today, I launched my Panel on Critical Energy Transition Minerals to address transparency, sustainability & human rights across the value chains of these materials.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Many countries have the will to take more ambitious steps on #ClimateAction.

Through the Climate Promise, the entire @‌UN system is coming together to help governments rise to the moment & create new national climate plans aligned with the 1.5° limit. https://t.co/OI9JIz7UYq

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

On #EarthDay, we must stand for our planet.

A planet threatened by climate change, by pollution, by biodiversity loss.

A planet that needs to be rescued.

So we must unite.

And we must mobilize all our efforts for #ClimateAction.
