From trade and nuclear tensions to the situation in the Persian Gulf, global political troubles are on the rise.

The UN will never give up our efforts to secure peace, reduce human suffering and build a sustainable world for people and planet.

As my Special Adviser @UN_GP_RtoP's Adama Dieng says, the Holocaust didn't start with gas chambers, it started long before with hate speech.

Hatred is a danger to everyone – and so fighting it must be a job for everyone.

The devastating impact of cyclones Idai and Kenneth on the people of Mozambique is a clear example of the need for urgent #ClimateAction.

What countries can do:
1. Shift taxes from people to pollution.
2. Stop subsidizing fossil fuels.
3. Stop building new coal plants by 2020.

[Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa]

A well deserved win by #BafanaBafana at #AFCON2019 playing against the host country, Egypt. You’ve shown that you have a lot of fight in you and we’re proud that you’ve made it this far. All the best for the rest of the tournament, the whole country is behind you. #EGYRSA

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

It breaks my heart to see children get an education in a classroom with no roof. Months after Cyclones Idai and Kenneth, the situation in Mozambique is still extremely difficult. The international community must continue to provide tangible support & show strong solidarity.

Floods. Drought. Heatwaves. Superstorms.

The effects of climate change are outpacing our efforts to address it.

We need a dramatic rise in ambitious and urgent #ClimateAction now.
