As the the first @UN Water Conference in nearly 50 years commences today, @unicefchief and I call on all nations to radically accelerate action to make water, sanitation and hygiene a reality for all. This is our lifetime opportunity: https://t.co/wtiNzSYOwF #WorldWaterDay
13/17 : En effet, plus de 200 scientifiques se sont joints à nous pour demander, notamment @emmanuelmacron, « l’interdiction de toutes les méthodes de pêche destructrices et des activités industrielles dans les aires marines protégées ».

🔴 La poursuite du développement humain dépend de notre capacité à atténuer le RCA ET à préserver la biodiversité. Il est donc impératif de ne plus dissocier politiques climatiques & protection de la biodiversité (et donc la lutte contre les pollutions) & bien-être humain. 7/

« Pour la 1e fois, le #GIEC a conclu que le #Climat fait peser sur l’humanité une menace non pas potentielle, mais certaine » @JouzelJean /31👇
🔴 Pour cela, le climat ne doit plus être cantonné dans la rubrique écologie.
📢📢📢 TOUTES les politiques & décisions économiques, fiscales, sociales, TOUS les niveaux de gouvernance et TOUTES les parties prenantes doivent intégrer le climat qui change. 34/

>4 million #COVID19 cases & >64k deaths were again reported to @WHO in the last week
This is beyond tragic, 19 months into the pandemic, when we have many simple, science-based, easy-to-use interventions that prevent infections & save lives

Thanks for coming to @WHO today, @DoctorsXr, & for your passion for #ClimateAction.
The risks posed by #ClimateChange could dwarf that of any single disease. But there’s no vaccine for climate change. We have to act NOW, in solidarity, to prevent & prepare before it’s too late.
It's high time to invest in health workforce & fix the shortage of nurses & midwives around the 🌍. They're incredible people doing incredible jobs under incredible circumstances. We must do better to ensure them decent conditions to do their job! #WHA74

More #COVID19 cases have been reported this year than in the whole of 2020. No country should assume it's out of the woods, no matter its vaccination rate. The pandemic is not over, and it won't be until and unless transmission is under control in every last country. #WHA74
Merci beaucoup my friend, President @EmmanuelMacron, for your inspiring remarks to the #WHA74 opening. I welcome your strong support for @WHO's work & mission, for the WHO Academy which will strengthen the health workforce, & for a #PandemicTreaty to protect lives & livelihoods.
Dr @DrMikeRyan concluding remark .. to end this COVID19 pandemic and prepare to the next threats and pandemics we need “a world committed to solidarity, a world committed to science, a world committed to solutions” quoting @DrTedros
"The climate- ecological- and health crisis are all interlinked. But we no longer see the links between them.
I would like to connect the dots. Because let's face it - if we don't change, we are f*cked."

Our leaders say we need to stop deforestation, restore nature and plant trees to save the climate and biodiversity. Yet, basically everywhere they're doing the exact opposite. And - since the general level of awareness is almost nonexistent - they keep speeding up the process...
“We have industrialized life on Earth and broken our relationship with nature.”
