Many developing countries are suffocating in debt & paying outlandish rates for capital. That makes it virtually impossible for them to take sufficient climate action. Developed countries must deliver on their finance commitments & enable a surge in climate ambition.

There’s no question: the lights are going out on the fossil fuel era. Delaying tactics from the fossil fuel industry can’t change that. Misinformation, distortion, and spin can’t change that – no matter how many billions of dollars are thrown at them.

4 out of every 10 people worldwide live in countries where governments spend more on debt interest payments than on education or health. Money is flowing in the wrong direction — from the countries who need it to the countries who don’t.

Developing countries cannot be shackled to the bottom of the clean energy value chain. Today, I launched my Panel on Critical Energy Transition Minerals to address transparency, sustainability & human rights across the value chains of these materials.

Each time an indigenous language disappears, those who speak it lose a significant part of their identity - and everyone loses important knowledge. Protecting indigenous languages means preserving the cultural & intellectual heritage they represent.

154 million lives have been saved through immunization in the last 50 years. It is one of humanity’s greatest achievements. But there is still work to do. We can’t stop now. We must ensure that every child has access to life-saving vaccines.

Fewer women than men have access to the Internet - effectively shutting them off from work & education opportunities. We must equip & support more #GirlsInICT . The world cannot afford to lose their talent.

In a world of plenty, children are starving to death. That is unacceptable. Last year, the number of people on the cusp of famine doubled – to over 700,000. The global food crisis requires an urgent global response.

At a time when we see rising hunger, growing poverty & a lack of financing to address the climate crisis, it's shocking to see military expenditure reaching an unprecedented high—$2443 billion in 2023, according to @SIPRIorg . It's time to stop running towards mutual destruction.

This March was the hottest on record – the tenth month of record heat in a row. The 1.5-degree limit is still possible, but not for long. Ambitious new national climate plans are essential to get countries on that path - with no loopholes, opt-outs or half-measures.

The International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace highlights a fundamental truth: no country can solve today’s challenges alone. We need to resurrect a new spirit of global cooperation to rebuild trust, heal divisions, and place humanity on the path to peace.

Many countries have the will to take more ambitious steps on #ClimateAction . Through the Climate Promise, the entire @‌UN system is coming together to help governments rise to the moment & create new national climate plans aligned with the 1.5° limit.

As Jewish families & communities gather to mark the beginning of #Passover , my heart breaks for all those whose Seder tables will be missing loved ones. Once again, I renew my call for the immediate & unconditional release of all hostages in Gaza.

On #EarthDay , we must stand for our planet. A planet threatened by climate change, by pollution, by biodiversity loss. A planet that needs to be rescued. So we must unite. And we must mobilize all our efforts for #ClimateAction .

Plastics know no border. Every living being & every part of the planet are harmed by plastics & their production. To #BeatPlasticPollution , we need a strong #PlasticsTreaty that upholds human rights & addresses the full life cycle of plastics.

Climate disasters are also economic disasters. Floods, fires & droughts are decimating economies around the world. It is vital that all countries develop new & ambitious #ClimateAction plans by next year.

It is high time to stop the dangerous cycle of retaliation in the Middle East. I condemn any act of retaliation & appeal to the international community to work together to prevent any further development that could lead to devastating consequences for the entire region & beyond.

The Middle East is on a precipice. The international community must work together to prevent any actions that could push the entire region over the edge, with a devastating impact on civilians. It is high time to end the bloody cycle of retaliation. It is high time to stop.

To avert imminent famine, and further preventable deaths, we need a quantum leap in humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza. ‌ Humanitarian agencies, led by @UNRWA , must be able to move food & other supplies safely & via all possible routes & crossings, into & throughout Gaza.

Recent escalations in the Middle East make it even more important to find lasting peace between Israel & Palestine. ‌ The ultimate goal remains a two-state solution. ‌ The international community has a responsibility & a moral obligation to help make this happen.
