Even in the darkest Cold War days, the collective dialogue & decision-making in the @UN Security Council underpinned an effective system of global security. I urge the Council to summon the same spirit by listening in good faith, overcoming differences & building consensus.…
The climate crisis is laying waste to lives & livelihoods. We must drastically speed up the reduction of emissions & deliver on global promises: To double energy efficiency & triple renewables capacity by 2030. And to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuel.

The renewable energy revolution is our moment of opportunity to ... build the energy system of the 21st century; meet the world's surging electricity demand sustainably; use trade, investment & finance to supercharge a just energy transition. Let’s seize it.
I am appalled that @UN premises have been struck in Gaza – among them @UNOPS & @WHO facilities. These premises are inviolable & must be protected under international humanitarian law – without exception.
Over the weekend in Gaza, we saw yet more mass shootings & killings of people seeking @UN aid – an atrocious & inhumane act which I utterly condemn. We need an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages & unimpeded humanitarian access.
Secretary-General @antonioguterres's full remarks on Climate Action "A Moment of Opportunity: Supercharging the Clean Energy Age" - 👇 un.org/sg/en/content/…
Countries that cling to fossil fuels are sabotaging their economies. Driving up costs, undermining competitiveness, locking-in stranded assets. They are missing the greatest economic opportunity of the 21st century: the renewable energy revolution.
The fossil fuel age is flailing & failing. We're at the dawn of a new & clean energy era. An era where cheap, abundant, renewable energy powers a world rich in economic opportunity. We have the tools to power the future for humanity. This is our moment of opportunity.

I am appalled that @UN premises have been struck, among them facilities of the UN Office for Project Services and the @WHO, incld. WHO’s main warehouse. These premises are inviolable, must be protected under international humanitarian law, without exception. - @antonioguterres
