I urge all countries at the #COP29 climate conference to step-up, pick-up the pace, and deliver.

The need for #ClimateAction is urgent.

The rewards are great.

And time is short.

[UN Climate Change @UNFCCC]

“I urge every party to step-up, pick-up the pace, and deliver.

The need is urgent. The rewards are great. And time is short.”

@UN Secretary-General @AntonioGuterres at #COP29

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

My appeal to negotiators & ministers at the #COP29 climate conference:

Soften hard lines.

Navigate a path through your differences.

Keep your eyes on the bigger picture.

Never forget that the future of humanity is at stake.
