United Nations in Brussels

United Nations in Brussels (official account) brings together 30 UN entities working with the EU and partners to advance #SDGs, #humanrights, #peace and more.

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

A clean, healthy and sustainable environment is a human right.

Its effective implementation is a legal obligation that supports stronger action to address environmental crises, including climate change.

This World Environment Day, OHCHR and partners are highlighting human rights solutions through the RHRN Global Youth Climate Summit and inviting people everywhere to contribute their own ideas through the Sumaúma Pledging Tree for Human Rights-Based Climate Action.

Take action now for people and the planet.

[UNOPS @UNOPS]

Our planet is sending us signals.

Too wet. Too dry. Too hot.

But listen, listen again.

Do you hear something else?

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we turn the volume up on the urgent signals the Earth is sending and how, together, we can act #NowForClimate.

[Annalena Baerbock @UN_PGA]

Congratulations to H.E. Mr. Khalilur Rahman on his election as President of the General Assembly at its 81st session! At a time when the UN is facing immense pressure, the role of the PGA is no longer simply procedural. I wish the PGA-elect nothing but success in guiding the work of all 193 Member States and defending the UN and its Charter during a particularly consequential 81st session.

Sweet and fruity flavours such as strawberry and watermelon can lower the perceived risk of #tobacco & #nicotine products, encouraging experimentation, continued use and addiction. Stop making nicotine appealing.
