We cannot air condition our way out of the heat crisis.

Many cooling methods add planet warming emissions, in-turn increasing cooling demand.

But solutions exist to make cooling more sustainable & affordable: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Transparency can become a greater catalyst for ambition, trust and transformative #ClimateAction.

At #COP30, we celebrated the first enhanced transparency framework cycle.

Pleased to join 🇧🇷 and 🇦🇿 COP Presidencies as we reflect on the challenges and opportunities ahead: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Cutting methane is one of the fastest ways to slow warming.

UNEP’s Eye on Methane shows the data is here, action isn’t.

As methane takes center stage at #COP30, leaders must turn measurement into real cuts: www.unep.org/resources/ey...

The cost of inaction far outweighs the cost of #ClimateAction.

A green economy could generate 18 million new jobs by 2030.

At the #COP30 Caring for Climate Meeting, hosted by @globalcompact.bsky.social, I joined partners to discus the role of business leadership in delivering the #ParisAgreement.

30 years ago the three Rio Conventions on climate, biodiversity & desertification were born - now we’re back in Brazil for #COP30

Today, we need environmental action that is all for one, one for all.

An integrated, coherent approach delivers that across the ‘Rio Trio’: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

In a world where you can be anything, be kind to nature.

From climate change to disasters, our planet is under pressure — yet nature holds the key to resilience and life itself.

Let’s act with kindness towards nature, which sustains us all.

Over 1 billion tonnes of food are wasted each year, causing 10% of global emissions.

The Food Waste Breakthrough, launched today at #COP30, aims to halve waste by 2030 and cut 7% of methane, uniting nations to fight hunger and climate change: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

To close the weather and climate data gap, we urgently need to scale up action.

The new Systematic Observations Financing Facility Action Report, launched at #COP30 and supported by @unep.org, @wmo-global.bsky.social and @undp.org, reinforces the need to close the most critical data gaps worldwide.

Cities consume 70% of the world’s food & generate half of its waste.

But in Brazil — hosts of #COP30 — cities are stepping up, leading the #GenerationRestoration movement.

From sustainable farming to climate education, they’re shaping a resilient future.

#COP30 is about implementation.

We've made #ParisAgreement progress, but not enough as @unep.org #EmissionsGap data shows

That does not mean we give up.

It means we become more determined.

In Belém UNEP is supporting proven solutions on:
🌍 Methane
🌎 Sustainable cooling
🌏 Buildings & construction
