Hurricane #Beryl's destruction across the Caribbean is a stark reminder of the intensifying impacts of climate change.

We must provide immediate financial support to small and vulnerable states for recovery and resilience.

The time for talking is over - we must act now.

🇹🇴 Almost two years ago, a powerful underwater volcano erupted near Tonga, generating ashfall and tsunami that affected 84% of the country’s population.

📹 Yesterday, @PScotlandCSG visited some of the affected areas.

Pleasure to meet with my brother @DrTedros this week at #UNGA in New York.

We discussed opportunities for increased collaboration on cervical cancer prevention, the pandemic accord, digital health and climate action on the road to #COP28.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Half-measures will not prevent full climate breakdown.

Today I urged the #G20 to demonstrate far more ambition on reducing emissions & supporting climate justice.

We have one planet.

Let’s save it.
