Fossil fuel pollution is sending climate chaos off the charts.

Last year saw record heat, record sea levels & record ocean surface temperatures.

There’s still time to throw out a lifeline to people & planet - but leaders must step up & #ActNow.

Nature-based Solutions used with deep emissions cuts can be key to solving the #climate and biodiversity crises but misusing them can harm biodiversity and communities.

When addressing the climate crisis, the focus often centers only on carbon dioxide emissions and methane.

Yet, nitrous oxide is 300 times more potent and remains active in the atmosphere for more than 100 years.

UNESCO dedicates the International Day of Education 2024 to countering hate speech https://t.co/nNbRAMJhE6 Lets do all we can to counter and strongly act against hate speech. We all have a sacred obligation to strengthen the bonds of humanity and brotherhood!

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

9 out of 10 people in the world breathe polluted air, which is also one of the biggest drivers of the climate crisis.

Ambitious #ClimateAction is crucial to realize everyone’s right to a healthy environment.

Nearly $7 trillion USD is invested annually in activities harming nature, while investments in Nature-based Solutions total only around $200 billion.

It’s time to flip these numbers.

8 months of conflict in Sudan have led to a desperate humanitarian & human rights crisis.

Without urgent food assistance, the risk of catastrophic levels of hunger is on the horizon for millions of people.

I did promise since last year that we would bring agriculture and food systems to center stage at COP28, and here we are! Celebrating together, a MILESTONE MOMENT IN HISTORY for food systems and agriculture at a COP in the first session.

I'm happy to confirm that COP28 UAE Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems, and Climate Action has so far received 134 endorsements from heads of state and government.

With these countries on board, we cover more than 5.7 billion people and 70% of all the food we eat. The signatories of the declaration are home to nearly 500 million farmers and represent 75% of all emissions from global food systems.

To support the funding and innovation part of the declaration, it gives me great pleasure to announce a significant funding partnership with a very dear partner to the UAE. The partnership will focus on agricultural research and development and scaling up innovations, which is so desperately needed to adapt food systems to the growing threats of climate change.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, together with the UAE, will fund a total sum of… 200 million US dollars of new investments into food and ag research and scaling up innovations.

With the majority of this investment flowing into the CGIAR network, the UAE is delighted to become a core partner of the CGIAR System Council and support its work.

A big thank you to all the countries who have endorsed the declaration and contributed to this watershed moment for the food and climate agenda.

We look forward to many more joining over the next few days!

I have a message for fossil fuel company leaders:

Do not double-down on an obsolete business model.

Lead the transition to renewables.

Make no mistake – the road to climate sustainability is also the only viable pathway to economic sustainability of your companies.

[COP28 UAE @COP28_UAE]

134 world leaders have endorsed the ‘COP28 UAE Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems, and Climate Action’, announced H.E. Mariam bint Mohammed Almheiri, UAE Minister of Climate Change and Environment and COP28 Food Systems Lead, during the World Climate Action Summit.
The Declaration confronts global emissions and protects the lives and livelihoods of farmers who are on the frontlines of climate change.

In Antarctica, I saw for myself & heard from scientists how ice loss is accelerating in dangerous ways.

Climate change is wreaking havoc. Fossil fuels are the main culprit.

At #COP28, leaders must act to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C & end the fossil fuel age.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Climate change is not just a change in the weather.

It is changing life on our planet.

It is killing people and devastating communities.

To limit global temperature rise, we must phase out coal, oil & gas in a fair & equitable way – and massively boost renewables. #UNGA
