Education is one of the smartest investments we can make in climate action. Climate resilient education systems will accelerate the transition to a low carbon future. Climate action starts with strong education systems. Learn from @UNICEFKosovo #ClimateAction #Education

Pleasure joining Kazakhstan's Minister of Ecology, Mr Yerlan Nyssanbayev, for the signing of the Declaration on Children, Youth and Climate Action. As Kazakhstan prepares to host the 2026 Regional Climate Summit, I welcome this step to put children at the heart of the country's climate policies.

[Regina De Dominicis @R_DeDominicis]

At the International Conference on Glaciers’ Preservation in Tajikistan, we underscore that the climate crisis is a child rights crisis. As glaciers melt, disruptions to health and education services will have a disproportionate impact on children. We must scale up climate finance, invest in child-sensitive climate change adaptation, and put young voices at the heart of solutions.

The clean energy boom keeps breaking records as @IRENA data shows.

In 2024:
✅ 90% of new power additions were renewables.
✅ Renewables grew by 15%, mainly solar.

Bringing huge benefits: New jobs, global competitiveness, and higher living standards.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Amid increasing climate challenges, we just got good news:

@IRENA confirmed 2024 was a record year for renewable energy additions to global power capacity representing 92% of all new electricity generation capacity installed.

Renewables become a smarter investment every day.
