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.

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.

Nelson Mandela’s legacy is our shared responsibility. At a time when human rights & dignity are under threat worldwide, we must renew our global commitment to the values that define his life & the @UN. Freedom. Justice. Equality. Solidarity. Reconciliation. Peace. #MandelaDay

Nelson Mandela showed how one person can transform oppression, struggle & subjugation into reconciliation, social justice & unity. Change starts not in capitals, but in communities. On #MandelaDay, let's remember that the power to end poverty & inequality is in all our hands.

Deeply saddened by passing of former President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari. He played a key role for regional peace & security & was a strong advocate for multilateral & regional cooperation. My heartfelt condolences to his family, the Government & the people of Nigeria.
From traditional knowledge to leadership, a diverse range of skills enable young people to shape their future & a more inclusive, peaceful & sustainable world. Amid the growing importance of digital & AI skills, let’s equip every young person for the digital age.…



The Sustainable Development Goals Report is a call to action – together, we can build the sustainable future everyone everywhere deserves. But only 35% of the #GlobalGoals targets are on track. Progress is still possible, but we must act with urgency, unity & unwavering…

Nowadays, hope can seem hard to find. I see hope in activists raising their voices for human rights, in humanitarian heroes overcoming obstacles to help the most vulnerable. And I see hope in the @UN, where countries address the world’s biggest challenges together.…

I strongly condemn the recent resumption of Houthi attacks on civilian vessels in the Red Sea. The @UN remains committed to broader de-escalation efforts in the region and a sustainable and peaceful resolution to the conflict in Yemen.
The 30th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica is not only a moment of reflection. It is a call to vigilance & action. At a time when hate speech, denial & division are gaining ground, we must stand firm for truth & justice.
