The blue helmet - my contribution to the “Peace Globe” display at the #ParisPeaceForum - is a symbol of the courage and sacrifice of UN Peacekeepers protecting civilians around the world, and of our commitment to achieving peace.

#IMarchFor gender parity because we live in a male-dominated world with a male-dominated culture. We need to have as many women as men in all positions of responsibility in our societies.

STANDARDIZED TESTING IS DOES NOT DEFINE YOU!! ISTEP DOES NOT SHOW HOW SMART YOU ARE! Why are we taking time out of a school day (well actually DAYS) that is DESIGNATED to learn not “TEST”

Today is #WorldPolioDay.

#Polio is a highly infectious disease caused by a virus. It invades the nervous system, and can cause total paralysis in a matter of hours.

Thanks to vaccines 💪, polio cases have decreased by over 99% since 1988. #EndPolio

I strongly condemn today’s horrific synagogue attack in Germany, on the holy day of Yom Kippur. It is yet another tragic demonstration of rising anti-Semitism around the world.

I say once again: houses of worship must be havens for peace, not sites of bloodshed & terror.

"We are ignoring natural climate solutions"

A short movie with @GeorgeMonbiot and me, by Tom Mustill, about restoring and rewilding nature to help repair the planets broken climate.

As one of many UN colleagues who call New York City home, my thoughts are with the loved ones of those lost on 9/11.

The compassion, solidarity & bravery that we saw in the aftermath of that terrible day continue to inspire us to achieve a better world for all.

This #LiteracyDay, join @Malala in advocating for the right to education!

[GHS MUN @ghs_mun]

It is very frustrating, as a child, to watch the world around you suffer and feel as though your voice is a mere raindrop in a sea of cries. To fabricate brilliant ideas and have them shut down by adults who do not care to listen. Our voices matter.

happy august. vaccinate your kids and stop being xenophobic. this isn’t a targeting tweet, it’s just for anyone in 2019 who hasn’t yet realized that vaccines are helpful and that supremacy is extremely harmful when paired with nationalism.

Greenland is melting and Charleston is flooding. No rain, no storm...just high tide. The Climate Crisis is here. We need bold, unflinching action, now.

[GHS MUN @ghs_mun]

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

People with disabilities are disproportionately affected when a natural disaster strikes, which is what happened to the people I met in Mozambique with Cyclone Idai.

The UN’s response to disasters must take into consideration their particular needs.

No one can be left behind.
