🌍 Central Africa continues to face overlapping security, governance & climate challenges.

At the #UNSC briefing on Central Africa, 🇱🇻 Latvia stressed that insecurity remains a daily reality for millions across the region.

🔴 The conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo & the worsening humanitarian situation are now further complicated by a new #Ebola outbreak.

❗️The spillover of the conflict in Sudan is also affecting regional security.

🗳️ Good governance is important: countries across the region should ensure peaceful, free & fair elections.

🌦️ Climate change is increasingly acting as a threat multiplier.❗️Competition over land, water & natural resources is fueling tensions, driving instability & increasing humanitarian needs.

👍 Latvia welcomes the launch of the Climate, Peace & Security Strategy by the @UN Regional Office for Central Africa (#UNOCA).

The world’s addiction to fossil fuels is one of the greatest threats to global stability & prosperity.

That’s why I am calling for a dedicated global platform to deliver a fair, orderly, affordable transition plan away from fossil fuels aligned with 1.5 degrees objectives.

Let’s make the clean energy transition unstoppable.

" Une paix juste suppose aussi de faire la paix avec la nature.

Un monde plongé dans le chaos climatique ne peut être un monde en paix.

Le changement climatique est un multiplicateur de risques, attisant les tensions autour des terres, de l’eau et de la nourriture "

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

This is my final year as @UN Secretary-General.
