"The best way to protect forests is to empower the people that live there."
It's not just about stopping fires. It's about investing in communities that protect our vital ecosystems. That's why the #COP30 Tropical Forests Forever Facility is so important.

I spoke with @ionewells.bsky.social on BBC News.
#COP30 isn't about negotiation, it's about action and accountability.
We're on a path to 2.5°C. The question is do we accept "overshooting" 1.5°C, or do we fix it now?
We must fix it now.

I spoke Tainá Falcão on CNN Brasil ahead of the opening of #COP30. The truth is, our current climate targets don't add up to 1.5°C.
Belém is a defining moment for the integrity of multilateralism. It's time to recommit to the spirit of #ParisAgreement

I will soon head to Belém, Brazil for #COP30. A decade since #ParisAgreement, the challenge is no longer the path, but the pace. Countries must act with urgency, ambition & solidarity to deliver climate goals & drive resilient, inclusive development. @UNOPS.org stands ready to help.

In #Jamaica, I assured PM Andrew Holness of @unops.org's support following #HurricaneMelissa. Such events are a stark reminder: #SIDS pay for emissions they did not create. As #COP30 approaches, we must recommit to the 1.5C goal, increase climate finance & demand higher ambition.

The new Adaptation Gap Report from @UNEP.org is clear: finance for climate resilience is failing to keep pace with needs. This gap is not just financial, it is an implementation gap. @UNOPS.org is ready to help nations build resilient solutions & infrastructure that protect communities.
UNEP’s new #AdaptationGap Report warns that developing countries will need at least US$310 billion per year by 2035 to protect lives, livelihoods, and economies. Yet, current financing lags far behind.

The escalating violence in #ElFasher is forcing countless families to flee for their lives. Reports from the ground, from UN partners, show people arriving in places like Tawila in desperate need.
A ceasefire is essential. Aid must reach them.

Thousands of people have fled El Fasher, #Sudan, seeking safety from relentless attacks.
Many arrived in Tawila, dehydrated, injured and traumatized.
The UN and aid organizations are providing life-saving support. But the violence must stop❗
🚨 We need a ceasefire now.
