The newly elected @10YFP Board convened in its first face-to-face meeting at #HLPF2024. Great to work with my co-chair Ambassador Chol @ajongo2000 and the able @UNEP secretariat. Ready to advocate for sustainable consumption & production #SDG12 for the next 2 years. @FinlandUN

Like the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs, humanity is having an outsized impact on our planet.

In the case of the climate crisis, we are not the dinosaurs. We are the meteor.

We are not only in danger. We are the danger.

But we're also the solution. https://t.co/Olj12WVSMW

I call on advertising & PR companies to stop acting as enablers to planetary destruction by working for the fossil fuel industry.

Stop taking on new fossil fuel clients & set out plans to drop your existing ones.

They are poisoning our planet & they are toxic for your brand.

“Sunday’s strike underscores once again that there is literally no safe place in #Gaza.”

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, @volker_turk, has condemned Israeli air strikes on Sunday that hit a camp for displaced people in #Rafah.

I condemn Israel’s actions which killed scores of innocent civilians who were only seeking shelter from this deadly conflict.

There is no safe place in Gaza.

This horror must stop.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Today a @UN vehicle was struck in Gaza, killing one of our colleagues & injuring another.
More than 190 UN staff have been killed in Gaza.
Humanitarian workers must be protected.
I condemn all attacks on UN personnel and reiterate my urgent appeal for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire & the release of all hostages.

“One father told me, crying, that he only had bad options to choose from. Nowhere is safe for his children.” - Hamish Young, UNICEF Senior Emergency Coordinator in the Gaza Strip.

The children of Gaza need a ceasefire. NOW.

[Annalena Baerbock @UN_PGA]

Today, the General Assembly has spoken loudly and clearly, and adopted a resolution:

➡️determining that the State of Palestine is qualified for membership in the UN in accordance with article 4 of the Charter and should be admitted in the @UN.

➡️recommending the Security Council reconsider the issue favorably.

➡️deciding to give the State of Palestine additions rights and privileges in their participation in the sessions and work of the General Assembly. #UNGA #ESS10

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I am disturbed & distressed by the renewed military activity in Rafah by the Israeli Defence Forces.

I urge the Government of Israel to stop any escalation, and engage constructively in the ongoing diplomatic talks.

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

In these difficult times, we would do well to remember the words of one of humanity’s wisest observers, Mahatma Gandhi:

“The world has enough for everyone's need – but not everyone's greed.”

“If countries fulfilled their obligations under the Charter, every person’s right to a life of peace and dignity would be guaranteed.

But governments are ignoring and undermining the very tenets of multilateralism – with zero accountability.“

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Over decades, the two-state solution has been traduced, undermined & left for dead many times.

However, it remains the only way to achieve durable & equitable peace in Israel, in Palestine & in the region.

[United Nations @UN]

“4 out of 5 of the hungriest people anywhere in the world are in Gaza.”

– @antonioguterres on @WFP warning that widespread famine looms in Gaza, where more than half a million people are facing what experts classify as catastrophic levels of hunger.

To those who opposed a clear reference to phase out of fossil fuels during the #COP28 Climate Conference, I want to say:

Whether you like it or not, fossil fuel phase out is inevitable. Let’s hope it doesn’t come too late.

[UNDP Planet @UNDPplanet]

Are you working on circular economy issues? Want to hear about our new interactive toolbox that allows countries to strengthen their climate targets using circular economy approaches?

Don't miss our #COP28 event. Join us on Dec 8, 5:50pm UAE local time. https://t.co/6cGq8laTib

[UNDP Planet @UNDPplanet]

Only 7.2% of used materials are cycled back into our economies after use. This puts a huge burden on the environment and contributes to the climate, biodiversity, and pollution crises.

The solution? Embracing circular economy

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I am horrified by the reported attack in Gaza on an ambulance convoy outside Al Shifa hospital.

Now, for nearly one month, civilians in Gaza, including children & women, have been besieged, denied aid, killed & bombed out of their homes.

This must stop.

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

“I reiterate my call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and for unimpeded humanitarian access to be granted consistently, safely and to scale in order to meet the urgent needs created by the catastrophe unfolding in #Gaza.” - @antonioguterres
