[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Achieving the #GlobalGoals requires leaving no one behind, especially the 1.3 billion people with disabilities.

I call on the world to work side-by-side with people with disabilities to design & deliver solutions based on equal rights in every country & community.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

My hopes for #COP28:

1. Commitments to get nationally determined contributions in line with 1.5°C limit.

2. Fossil fuel phaseout & big investments in renewables.

3. Acceleration of climate justice.

It is not too late to stop the climate crisis. But we need #ClimateAction now.

[Kamal Kishore @HeadUNDRR]

I'm very pleased to announce that @UNDRR and @UNOPS will jointly host the Santiago Network. This platform will accelerate countries’ access to technical assistance to combat the worsening effects of the climate emergency.

AI has the potential to accelerate #EarlyWarning capacity, especially in areas where traditional meteorlogical data coverage is low, such as Africa. Thank you Egypt for the important session at #COP28UAE

[Kamal Kishore @HeadUNDRR]

I welcome the EU proposed regulation to restore and protect degraded habitats. Environmental degradation is major risk driver. This is an important step to strengthen disaster resilience and preserve nature for future generations

Cost-effective, scalable and effective, Nature-based Solutions can help address growing disaster risk. Watch my lightning talk with @Learning4Nature 👉 https://t.co/Z7ePPzQysH

[Kamal Kishore @HeadUNDRR]

The concept of risk tipping points is in line with our warnings that countries are accumulating #InterconnectedRisks, beyond their ability to adapt. We call on countries to invest in solutions that prevent these risks from triggering disasters. @‌UNUEHS ➡️https://t.co/MBE68F7dBn

[Kamal Kishore @HeadUNDRR]

It was an honour to meet Prime Minister Siaosi Sovaleni of Tonga today, a true champion of disaster risk reduction. We discussed the importance of accelerating practical implementation of the Sendai Framework following the midterm review at the UNGA.

[Kamal Kishore @HeadUNDRR]

Inspiring to join 1400 school students in Tonga today testing the tsunami early warning system . Education on disaster risk is crucial to save lives and no one knows this better than the communities here after the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano and tsunami last year.

[Kamal Kishore @HeadUNDRR]

Bula vinaka from National Disaster Awareness Week in #Fiji! Today Suva is running an earthquake+ tsunami evacuation with its partners Australia, New Zealand, US and the UN and Red Cross. A great eg of collaboration on Disaster prevention and preparedness. #EW4All #GetToHighGround
