At #COP30, lives are on the line.

People on the frontlines need more than promises – they need action, adaptation, and hope.

2025 showed what the #ClimateCrisis really means for the world’s most fragile countries.

Here’s what it has looked like so far: https://unocha.exposure.co/cop30

Food insecurity is one of the greatest shames of our modern world. It just doesn’t need to exist. Everyone deserves access to affordable and nutritious food. 🥘
🔴 @FAO.org & @WFP.org warn that acute food insecurity is deepening in 16 hunger hotspots, threatening to drive millions more into famine or risk of famine.

Time is quickly running out to avert widespread starvation in the areas of highest concern.

“I cannot unsee what I have seen.”

The immense destruction in #Gaza, which @unfpa.org Deputy Executive Director for Management Andrew Saberton witnessed on his recent visit, is a daily reality for women and girls.

They need a massive increase in aid to survive and rebuild their shattered lives.

The potential and capacity is there for innovations to emerge from developing countries like Kenya, we just need to enable these. Applause 👏 to the UNEP Climate Fund for understanding this and supporting these innovators.
In Kenya, the Restoration Factory—an incubation programme enabled by the UNEP Climate Fund—is helping entrepreneurs develop climate-resilient businesses that support local communities and restore and preserve landscapes.

One of the loveliest people has left us. Jane Goodall not only taught us so much about the social world of chimpanzees, she also taught us a lot about ourselves. The importance of kindness, and that of mutual respect. Thank you Jane for all you so selflessly gave to this world. We need more Janes.
