It's time to ditch the “take-make-waste" linear economy. A zero-waste production & consumption model is key for addressing the triple planetary crisis, to #BeatWastePollution & improve well-being for everyone, everywhere. More on this #ZeroWasteDay: https://t.co/RdibQ1UG8r

“The biggest learning that this Namami Ganga project gives us is that nothing is impossible.” #GenerationRestoration efforts of India's most sacred river is proof of what can be achieved when governments and communities work together #ForNature.

A new global agenda with bold #WaterAction was adopted at the @UN Water Conference last week. From making smarter food choices to using water as an economic driver, the agenda aims to help the world move toward a sustainable water-secure future for all.

Action on sustainable production & consumption is at the heart of progress towards the #GlobalGoals. From work to #BeatWastePollution to pushing for a circular economy, see how you can get involved this #ZeroWasteDay: https://t.co/RdibQ1UG8r

Delighted to meet @UN_Ukraine Country Team working tirelessly to support the government and people of #Ukraine. Absolutely critical that the long-term impacts of environmental devastation be factored into @UN efforts.

Water and sanitation flow through every aspect of sustainable development. Access to these essential services are human rights. A well managed water cycle is critical to human society and the integrity of the natural environment. #ActNow #WaterAction #WorldWaterDay

My thoughts are with people of #Malawi impacted by tropical storm Freddy which hit the country for the 2nd time in a month. This is the reality of the #ClimateCrisis. Critical to step up investments in #EarlyWarnings4All & take #ClimateAction https://t.co/Z4z8yoU3gr

While in #Kyiv I had the pleasure of meeting with representatives of Ukraine's Parliamentary Committee on Environmental Matters.

Pleasure to meet @RuslanStrilets, Minister of Environment for #Ukraine, here in #Kyiv. The #environment is always a casualty of war. @UNEP committed to supporting technical capacities of Ukraine to undertake environmental assessments.

We are nearing the point of no return, of overshooting the internationally agreed limit of 1.5°C of global warming. The facts are not in question. Our actions are. We are at the tip of a tipping point. But it is not too late. https://t.co/SA6dkWVDFG

We now have a strong bridge connecting #HumanRights & the #environment. But a bridge is only useful if we cross it. We need rapid action to realise the human right to a clean, healthy & sustainable environment. https://t.co/K1LQbvRiNO

Today, @UNEP & @esa signed a declaration of intent to increase their synergy of work & accelerate the use of @ESA_EO technology & data, to: ℹ️ fill info gaps on environment & sustainable development 🌱contribute to protection of ecosystems 🔬advance science & climate modelling

The High Seas Treaty is BIG news for our ocean! 🌊 30% of the world's ocean will be protected 🐠 Increased funding for marine conservation 🪸 Better shared marine genetic resources This is a milestone in the fight against #ClimateChange, #biodiversity loss & pollution!

Women are key agents of change whose equitable & meaningful involvement in #REDD+ can help break down #gender barriers & unjust ‘business as usual’ practices . Read more: https://t.co/0ZO2TeXXdo #InternationalWomensDay #BetterWithForests @UN_Women @UNEP @UNEP_AsiaPac

If we don't correct gender imbalances in science engineering & maths, we'll be teaching technology to discriminate & carry forward 1000s of years of gender inequality. On #IWD2023 empower women to use emerging technologies, to improve their lives & the health of our planet.

The laid-out version of the full @ipbes #ValuesAssessment Report is OUT NOW! 💥 Do you want to know more about the diverse conceptualizations of the multiple values and valuation of nature ? 🤔 Visit our website to access the full report⬇️ https://t.co/F22xWcHANG

Gender inequality is a question of power. We must equalize power in 3 ways: Increasing education, income & employment for women & girls. Promoting their full participation & leadership in science & technology. Creating a safe digital environment for all.

WMO's Executive Council has endorsed a planned new Global Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Infrastructure combining satellite and surface observations to support #ClimateAction to reduce record levels of heat-trapping gases like CO2 https://t.co/IrRpwBGTOb

Least Developed Countries contribute less than 4% of the world’s greenhouse gases. Governments, businesses & civil society must deliver climate justice to those on the frontlines of the crisis. The era of broken promises must end now.

Pleasure to be here at the opening of #LDC5 with HE @TamimBinHamad & @antonioguterres as we seek to take forward the #Doha Programme of Action. @UNEP committed to supporting Least Developed Countries as we seek to tackle #climatecrisis, env. degradation & build #resilience.

I'm extremely encouraged that countries have agreed on the UN legally binding instrument to ensure the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction. This is an important step to protect our oceans.

Engineers take on some of the world’s most pressing issues, from the climate crisis to access to clean water & energy. More from @UNESCO on Saturday’s #WorldEngineeringDay for Sustainable Development: https://t.co/02BzhzVebF

Fossil fuel expansion, fueled by trillions in taxpayer-funded subsidies, is absurd. Young people are leading the way in the fight against the climate crisis with their ideas & actions. My message to them: Keep raising your voices & pushing leaders to do the right thing.

Govts, industry & CSOs on Friday moved closer to a global plan to better manage #chemicals & #waste & protect the #environment & human health. Onward to the 5th Int. Conf. on Chemicals Management, Bonn, Sep. 2023 News : https://t.co/bGlHrJZDze #SAICM #BeatChemicalsPollution https://t.co/jrdYxVsmzE
