UN Climate Change

RT @simonstiell: At #PreCOP31 this week, the Pacific region has shown again how to meet danger with determination, innovation, cooperation, and practical solutions. That is the spirit we need heading into #COP31. My full remarks here: 📸 Fiji MECC / Kiara Worth

RT @simonstiell: 73% of health-care professionals reported more heat-linked complications. 81% are concerned about heat & maternal & newborn health - new data by @wellcometrust shows. Pregnancy and birth are now a new faultline in the global climate crisis. 👉 #preCOP31

RT @simonstiell: New @IRENA data: global renewables avoided almost half a trillion US$ in fossil fuel costs. With fossil fuel dependency driving higher food prices & inflation, any leader must be serious about cutting planet-baking fossil fuels & building resilience.

RT @WMO: Rivers across the globe in 2025 had one of the driest years in more than 3 decades. The WMO Global #StateOfWater Report 2025 shows a continuation of the long-term decline in Earth’s freshwater storage and in glacier retreat. 🔴 OUT NOW:

RT @UN: When it comes to #ClimateAction, the road ahead is clear: 🟢 Cut emissions 🟢 Protect communities 🟢 Build stronger economies Across 100+ countries, the UN's #ClimatePromise is helping turn climate ambition into real action. Learn more:

Climate is sometimes seen as territory in the culture wars. It's not. Climate impacts like extreme heat are killing thousands, driving up costs, hitting economies and energy security. Inflation is a common enemy, security is a common cause. Both demand action on climate.

RT @simonstiell: #ClimateWeek4 and @BakuClimateWeek are driving forward the promise of the Paris Agreement. They are all about connecting actors for results that people can see and feel: clean, reliable power; lower costs; stronger food systems; healthier communities. 👉

🔴 Watch live: High-Level Ceremony of #ClimateWeek4 ⌚11:30-13:00 Baku time (GMT+4) 👀

RT @hlcchampions: Green roofs, electric ferries, 7 million trees: Lagos is reimagining urban cooling to get ahead of extreme heat. Read the full article to discover how Lagos is tackling a threat that could cost it up to $33B, as part of the Beat the Heat campaign and the Action Agenda. 🔗

⌚ One week to go till #ClimateWeek4 kicks off in Baku, Azerbaijan! Climate Week brings together experts and change-makers from around the world with one purpose: to turn global climate ambition into solutions that work on the ground. More here:

RT @simonstiell: After the #JuneClimateMeetings, attention now turns to the weeks ahead - to narrow differences, strengthen cooperation and prepare for success at #COP31. With the action agenda complementing the negotiations to turn decisions into practical results. 👉

RT @UN: Clean water is a right, not a privilege. Yet billions lack access to safe drinking water & sanitation — and the climate emergency is making things worse. See how we can achieve clean water & sanitation for all: #WorldWaterWeek

RT @UNDESA: Climate finance isn’t charity, it’s an investment in global stability and a livable planet. From funding clean energy to drought-resilient seeds for farmers, it cuts emissions and strengthens communities. Explore some real-world examples:

RT @UNDESA: Today, the world meets for #COP17Mongolia. Droughts have increased by nearly 30% since 2000. But restoring 150 million hectares of degraded land, an area the size of our host, Mongolia, could provide food for 200 million people. #UNited4Land @UNCCD

RT @UNYouthAffairs: 🌍 Happy #InternationalYouthDay! Young people aren’t waiting for change — they’re making it happen. For #IYD2026, ASG @felipepaullier calls for investment in future-ready skills, meaningful youth participation and every young person’s potential. 👉

RT @hlcchampions: Created at COP22, the Marrakech Partnership turns ten this year. As we prepare for COP31 in Antalya, it's more relevant than ever. It's the platform connecting governments with businesses, cities, investors and civil society to turn Paris Agreement goals into action: tripling renewables, halting deforestation, building climate-resilient health systems, and more. Today it brings together initiatives under the Global Climate Action Agenda, working through “Plans to Accelerate Solutions” to unblock what's stopping climate solutions from scaling. Read more:

RT @antonioguterres: As extreme heat is becoming more dangerous, we need more action to address it: 1. Protect people before heat becomes deadlier. 2. Make work safer. No one should have to risk their life to earn a living. 3. Build & retrofit for the heat. 4. Stop fuelling the crisis.

“The verdict is clear: the climate crisis is in overdrive.” – @antonioguterres on the new global climate forecast released today by the @WMO. More coal, oil and gas will lead to a more combustible future. Unless we act – to protect people and tackle the root cause of the crisis.

RT @UN_PGA: “The answers are all there. But the matching is missing.” Today I convened an Interactive Dialogue on the Global Energy Transition. UNFCCC’s @simonstiell was direct: finance is essential to building resilience. IRENA’s @flacamera put it simply: geology no longer decides who has power. And ASG @SelwinHart reminded us that this revolution is “unstoppable and irreversible. Now we need to deliver, for everyone, including Africa. #UNGA80

RT @simonstiell: A world addicted to coal, oil & gas is a world of instability and rising costs for all. Renewables are cheaper, safer and faster to market. They can fortify the foundations of peace – while cutting planet-heating pollution and supercharging economies. 👉
