📷: Preamble of the UN Charter with handwritten notes.
80 years ago, 50 nations met in San Francisco, USA, to create a new organization for peace, prosperity & human rights.
The ideals laid out in the Charter remain as relevant as ever. https://t.co/swaalYquKT
“The science demands action. The law commands it. The economics compel it. And people are calling for it.” - @antonioguterres
On the third day of Climate Week NYC, mayors and leaders attended the UN Secretary-General’s Solutions Dialogue.
C40 Cities Co-Chair and Mayor of Freetown, @yakisawyerr , implored national governments and financial institutions to match cities’ climate ambition.
Showcasing Freetown’s tree-planting campaign, which created 2,800 green jobs and trained youth in digital monitoring, she called for global action: cities are delivering, now it’s time for the world to back them.
Amplifying youth power in global decisions: @AntonioGuterres just appointed 14 young climate leaders to @YAGClimate to share their expertise and recommendations, and guide @UN's work on #ClimateAction 👏
Youth voices, ideas, and leadership matter. They must have a seat at the table.
