"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.

We're past negotiations. #COP30 is about action & accountability. We're not on the 1.5°C path & 'overshooting' isn't inevitable.

We must x3 renewables, x2 energy efficiency, deliver on finance, & end fossil fuel subsidies. We can do it, but we must do it now.

Are we for real or not?

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.

We know #ClimateAction is urgent, achievable & profitable. We need higher ambition, $1.3T in climate finance & bold policies on renewables, efficiency, & mobility. @UNOPS.org stands ready to help nations turn these commitments turn into real implementation on the ground.

At the #UNGA80, leaders voiced concern over war and conflict. Peace is a choice, not an inevitability. Prevention, resilience, and development are the strongest tools we have and where @UNOPS.org delivers impact on the ground.

The #UN General Assembly is always an important moment. This time, it's even more important.

Conflict, climate, inequality. Reform, climate finance, and renewed diplomacy are on the table.

This week is an important week to give a boost to multilateralism.

This morning, @UNOPS.org successfully delivered 92,000 litres of fuel to Gaza City. The fuel will support health facilities, water and sanitation services, and telecommunications.

This fuel is an essential lifeline amid the ongoing Gaza City offensive.
