I've just concluded a deeply meaningful visit of solidarity with Syria & its wonderful people.

I've seen the scars left by years of conflict.

I’ve heard about pain, loss, displacement & fear.

But I’ve also seen resilience, courage & determination.

I’ve felt a profound sense of hope for a future where rights are respected, equality is realized & opportunities are shared.

The @UN stands with Syria at this pivotal moment.

And I appeal to the international community to support the Syrian people as well.

Human rights belong to all of us. They are non-negotiable.

And they are fundamental to our hopes for a world at peace.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, a single drought can wipe out up to 900,000 jobs in just one year.

But investments in resilience are helping change that. They are enabling communities to adapt, protect livelihoods, and build lasting progress: https://t.co/RxmmWR3pO8

Heat stroke. Falls. Equipment accidents.

Despite the dangers, most agricultural workers in Türkiye work informally, lacking benefits like healthcare or insurance.

See how the @WorldBankGroup and @EUDelegationTur changed that for 12,000+ farm laborers: https://t.co/e0qzs61Bvk

A musical start to the day 📚🎶 His Majesty officially opened the Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for Humanities at the University of Oxford.

This centre brings together seven humanities faculties and research institutes, along with world-class libraries, exhibition areas and performance spaces.

During the visit, The King met representatives from local community groups, visited the Bate Collection of musical instruments and viewed the Sohmen Concert Hall.

80% of Madagascar’s population works in the informal sector, selling food or household goods from their homes or street stalls.

But financing for these micro-businesses remains a challenge. Microloans are making a difference.

I welcome the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel & Lebanon, and commend the role of the US in facilitating it.

I hope this will pave the way for negotiations towards a long-term solution to the conflict & contribute to ongoing efforts toward a lasting & comprehensive peace in the region.

I urge everyone to fully respect the ceasefire and to comply with international law at all times.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I extend my warmest wishes to all who are marking #Passover, a holiday celebrating the blessing of freedom.

Amid these times of crises, may this be an opportunity to reflect and renew our commitment to peace, cooperation and solidarity.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz is choking the movement of oil, gas & fertilizer at a critical moment in the global planting season.

Across the region & beyond, civilians are enduring serious harm & living under profound insecurity.

The @UN is working to minimize the consequences of the war. And the best way to minimize those consequences is clear:

End the war – immediately.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Climate chaos is rewriting the rules of weather, with record heat, longer droughts, rising seas & ever more frequent & extreme disasters.

Accurate, trusted science is our first line of defence.

Foresight save lives.

We must accelerate Early Warnings for All so that every person is protected by life-saving alerts.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The world’s addiction to fossil fuels is one of the greatest threats to global stability & prosperity.

That’s why I am calling for a dedicated global platform to deliver a fair, orderly, affordable transition plan away from fossil fuels aligned with 1.5 degrees objectives.

Let’s make the clean energy transition unstoppable.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Reforming the Security Council is not just important – it is essential.

Those who try to cling to privileges today risk paying the price tomorrow.

We must all be bold enough to change.

The world is not waiting.

Neither should we.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

This is my final year as @UN Secretary-General.

Let me assure you that I will make every day count.

I am fully committed to keep fighting for the better world that we know is possible.

I will not give up.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The people of Yemen demand and deserve peace.

I call on everyone to prioritize dialogue over violence. Any unilateral actions that could inflame this fragile situation are unacceptable.

The @UN remains committed to supporting the Yemeni people along the path to peace.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Deeply alarmed by escalating violence on civilians in Sudan.

I call for cessation of hostilities & resumption of talks to reach a lasting ceasefire & comprehensive, inclusive, Sudanese-owned political process.

Everyone must abide by their obligations under international law.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I am horrified and condemn today’s heinous deadly attack on Jewish families gathered in Sydney to celebrate Hannukah.

My heart is with the Jewish community worldwide on this first day of Hannukah, a festival celebrating the miracle of peace and light vanquishing darkness.

10 years after the #ParisAgreement, the world has moved, but not fast enough.
Record heat & slow political compromises show the cost of inaction.

For Africa — least responsible, most affected — #climatejustice must mean scaled investment & accessible technology.

#ClimateAction

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

A decade ago, the world found the courage to adopt the #ParisAgreement - a pillar of hope for humanity.

Today, we must find courage once again.

The climate crisis is one of the defining challenges of our time.

Together, we can - and we must - build a livable future for all.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

When we protect the most vulnerable, refuse to look away, speak up for institutions that speak up for us, we keep human rights alive.

Our rights should never take second place to profit or power.

Let's unite to protect them, for the dignity & freedom of all.
