@sondreolsen Prøv sub 40, så rekker du dusjen også. Lykke til!

The passing of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu is another chapter of bereavement in our nation’s farewell to a generation of outstanding South Africans who have bequeathed us a liberated South Africa.

My message to young people, indigenous communities, women leaders, all those leading on #ClimateAction:

I know you might be disappointed. But we're in the fight of our lives & this fight must be won.

Never give up.
Never retreat.
Keep pushing forward.
I am with you.

Wonderful visit by Norway’s development minister @dagiulstein @norwayMFA today where we focused on importance of securing more effective nexus between humanitarian and development funding for the neglected emergencies in #DRC and #Cameroon.

The new Norwegian climate fund is a real breakthrough in climate finance. For the first time, Norway is allocating capital outside the aid budget to invest in solar&wind to protect humanity from the climate crisis by leapfrogging fossil fuels. https://t.co/GfLgg1Om6I

The difference between 1.5°C & 3°C global warming means vastly different scenarios for our future.

The length of droughts, the spread of diseases & more hinge on these few degrees.

Limiting temperature rise is still possible if we #ActNow. https://t.co/X0Shwfcd3n via @UNFCCC

Tusen takk skal du ha @dagiulstein, 🇳🇴 Minister of Int'l Development, for your partnership with @WHO, from confronting #COVID19 to the need to #BeatNCDs. 🇳🇴's drive for #VaccinEquity as co-lead of the @ACTAccelerator Facilitation Council reflects your commitment to global health.

[Dag Inge Ulstein @dagiulstein]

Vaksiner må nå de mest sårbare. #COVAX sin humanitære buffer er helt nødvendig. @NorwayMFA har bedt @gavi sammen med produsentene om å finne en løsning hvor humanitære organisasjoner ikke må bære erstatningsansvar @rodekorsnorge @KirkensNodhjelp

No går det over stokk og stein. Skal verkeleg næringsliv og samfunn blø lenger enn naudsynt berre fordi nokon skal ha litt ekstra hyttekos?

[NorwayUN @NorwayUN]

While #ClimateChange can lead to hard security challenges, there are no hard security solutions.

#ClimateAction is needed & depends on #multilateral cooperation. The UNSC has a key role to play.

Deepest condolences as well as sympathy to the families of the Italian and WFP officials killed in #DRC. They were carrying out life saving humanitarian work & @WFP support to #school feeding for children affected by armed conflict. @TveitenMargit @NorwayUNRome @NorwayMFA

Today, America is officially back in the Paris Climate Agreement. Let’s get to work.

This is great news and admirable effort by Norway and @dagiulstein. Nothing creates inclusive growth in developing countries like agriculture, and @IFAD and @IFADPresident efforts are crucial https://t.co/CWo2t2YAhj

"The first wave was not so bad, we didn't have so many deaths but this second wave, it is getting hard for us."
