My hopes for #COP28: 1. Commitments to get nationally determined contributions in line with 1.5°C limit. 2. Fossil fuel phaseout & big investments in renewables. 3. Acceleration of climate justice. It is not too late to stop the climate crisis. But we need #ClimateAction now.

Dear Leaders, A message #FromOurHearts for our children 🌏🕊️🦋 #ClimateActionNow #Act4SDGs #COP28UAE #KidsFirst @warriormomsin @ourkidsclimate @parentsforfutureG

UNEP Goodwill Ambassador Dia Mirza @deespeak joins us at the @COP28_UAE UNEP Pavilion! Listen to her hopeful message as she champions climate justice and advocates for the most vulnerable affected by the #ClimateCrisis. #COP28 #ClimateAction

🔵LIVE🔵 from the @UNEP Pavillion at #COP28 - our Goodwill Ambassadors @deespeak and @RockyDawuni are taking part in an event on blue ecosystem health - watch here redirect.invidious.io/OBliRLVjAaU

Parents all over the globe join hands to send, NOT a ‘gentle’ but ‘URGENT’ reminder to prioritise air quality, shift to renewables, and ensure a just transition. The time to act is NOW! Send your message to the leaders at #COP28 on; onemillionparentvoices.org @deespeak

There has been some misreporting in the press regarding the order passed yesterday by the #SupremeCourt case challenging the constitutionality of the #Forest Conservation (!) Amendment Act, 2023. Please find a note attached clarifying the order. 1/n

My message to leaders at #COP28: Protecting our climate is the world’s greatest test of leadership. I urge you to lead. Humanity’s fate hangs in the balance. Make this climate conference count.

#COP28 is off to a great start! Day one concluded with a historic agreement to operationalize the loss and damage fund and funding arrangements. Tomorrow COP28 welcomes leaders from around the world. Stay tuned!

I welcome the decision taken at the opening of #COP28 to operationalize the new Loss & Damage Fund – an essential tool for delivering climate justice. I call on leaders to make generous contributions and get the Fund and the Climate Conference started on a strong footing.

Humanity is breaking all the wrong climate change records. It's going to take a massive shift and transformative action at #COP28 to avoid coming back to issue the same unheeded warnings, like a broken record, year after year. Latest #EmissionsGap Report: unep.org/resources/emissions…

With the #COP28 Climate Conference starting today, I'm preparing for my conversation with @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres.   Do you have a #ClimateAction question you want me to ask him?   Leave it in the comments below 🌏🕊️

As we head towards #COP28 it is clear that #ClimateAction must be far far more rapid, economy-wide & in pursuit of low-carbon development transformations. Sustainable. Just. Inclusive. This must be the future #ForPeopleForPlanet.

So deeply grateful for this honour @BBC100women 🙏🏻 What an inspiring list of amazing women! Most grateful 🌏💚🕊️ #BBC100Women #GlobalGoals #ForPeopleForPlanet #ForNature Thank you @UNEP you strengthen my purpose everyday. Forward together 🙌🏼🦋

“Nothing beats kindness ... It sits quietly beyond all things.” - From ‘The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse' by Charlie Mackesy Our children are precious. Each and every one of them. No matter what country or region they belong to. They are kind, inclusive, loving and peaceful. Qualities that each of us must learn to imbibe. Think of our children in crises. Little ones, countless, blameless, precious children caught in the crossfires of horrific wars they did nothing to deserve. They have nothing to do with the rhetoric on either side and yet they are suffering. As a mother and as a human-being, I know one thing with absolute certainty. NOTHING justifies the killing and suffering of children. Please stop. Lay down arms. Remember that children most of all deserve a world that is peaceful. And kind. For the sake of our children, CEASEFIRE for HUMANITY NOW! #WorldChildrensDay #UniversalChildrensDay #InternationalChildrensDay #CeaseFireNow #CeaseFireForHumanity

Team #India you gave us the most memorable moments in the past few weeks. Thank you so much! Congratulations on a well played #WorldCup 🇮🇳 We are proud of you. Congratulations #Australia for winning your 6th World Cup! You played your best game. #CWC2023Final #Worldcupfinal2023

🧵The #Forest (#Conservation) Aamendment Act comes into force on Dec 1. There is nothing ‘conservation’ in the amended Act, it is blatantly, unapologetically a law that facilitates diversion of #forest lands & into private hands 1/n onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2…

While the #invisible (#AirPollution) becomes #Visible during winter months in #DelhiNCR, apart for Monsoons, the population in the region and across the country keeps breathing toxic air years after years.

“No human society has ever cornered the market on absolute truth. The truth is that everything changes, people are never satisfied and identities are fictional. What it means to be Christian or Spanish or even a man or a woman depends on the stories people believe. It’s changed many times in the past, and will keep changing in the future. You won’t find the truth by killing people who disagree with you – you’ll just sink into ignorance.” - from 'Sapiens: A Graphic History' #quote #change #identity #humanity #history #sapiens #discourse #quotes #conflict #embracechange #tolerance #lifelonglearning #truth

The way forward is clear: Humanitarian ceasefire. Respect for int'l humanitarian law. Unconditional release of hostages. Protection of civilians, hospitals, UN facilities, shelters & schools. Ending use of civilians as human shields. More humanitarian aid entering Gaza. NOW.

“I reiterate my call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and for unimpeded humanitarian access to be granted consistently, safely and to scale in order to meet the urgent needs created by the catastrophe unfolding in #Gaza.” - @antonioguterres
