Another UN High-Level Week wrapped. The energy, debates and quiet negotiations all point to one truth: even in turbulent times, dialogue is our most powerful tool.

Some call #UNGA the World Cup of diplomacy.

But this cannot be about scoring points, it must be about solving problems.

There is too much at stake.

Peace. Climate. Innovation. Equality. Development.

Let this be a week of solutions – Leaders must get serious and deliver.

Every nuclear test is a threat to humanity and our planet. The HLM was a call to action: end testing, uphold the #CTBT and advance toward nuclear prohibition.

A friend did a pavement hopscotch outside her home and passers-by including the kids had soo much fun. 🙂

2012-18 & 2024: Reflecting on my work in facilitating the 🇹🇹 rez on Women & Disarmament since 2012. I’m proud of it, because of the change it has inspired -a legacy that recognizes women in disarm. means stronger pathways to peace.

[Charlene Roopnarine @charlene_roop]

The 🇹🇹 rez on Women and disarmament was adopted! Women are not mere spectators of peace—they are the architects of it! Honored to have facilitated this rez once again. Especially grateful to the sponsors & to all States which supported.

[Charlene Roopnarine @charlene_roop]

Disarmament Week is a powerful reminder of our shared responsibility to create a safer, more peaceful world by reducing the threats posed by weapons -advancing disarmament efforts, championing inclusive participation, especially of women and youth, in building sustainable peace.

[UN Office for Disarmament Affairs @UN_Disarmament]

It's #DisarmamentWeek.

Throughout history, countries have pursued disarmament to build a safer, more secure world & to protect people from harm.

Imagine being a #climateChange negotiator getting laughed out of the room in 2011 for talking about #1point5tostayalive and waking up in 2024 at 1.3C warming to a Cat 4 hurricane in JUNE heading for your home and neighboring islands. I’m scared but mostly Fucking livid.

[Rueanna Haynes @Rueanna_Haynes]

This might be one of few lines of work where being right about what will happen leaves the most bitter taste imaginable in the mouth.
