Secretary-General of the @UN. We will never, ever give up making this world better for everyone, everywhere.

Every fraction of a degree of global warming matters. Yet greenhouse gas emissions remain at record levels. The new @UNEP #EmissionsGap Report shows what it will take to change course & pull back from the brink of a climate catastrophe. unep.org/en/news-and-stories…

Despite decades of progress, our global food system is under immense strain & hunger remains unacceptably high. Food is a fundamental human right. Let’s turn shared commitments into action & deliver sustainable, healthy & equitable food systems for all.

Indonesia is the world’s 6th largest contributor to @UNPeacekeeping missions. In some of the world’s most dangerous settings, @UN Peacekepeers deescalate tensions, oversee aid delivery, protect civilians & create space for political solutions & peace. I salute them for all they do for peace — the most important cause of all.

Indonesia is a pillar of multilateralism, a home of enormous cultural diversity, an emerging economy of growing influence, a political & diplomatic bridge-builder — regionally, globally & at the @UN, and a voice of peace. It’s a pleasure to be back in Indonesia.

Poverty is an affront to human dignity & a denial of human rights. We must eradicate poverty & confront the inequalities & injustices that perpetuate it. The resources & knowledge exist. Let’s mobilize the political will & investments needed to ensure everyone can build a life free from poverty.

Despite progress, the war on nature has not yet ended. The impacts of the triple planetary crisis of pollution, biodiversity loss & climate chaos affect everyone, everywhere. It’s time to ask ourselves: Are we doing enough?    We need more action, speed & will.

One of my greatest priorities as @UN Secretary-General has been fighting the triple planetary crisis of biodiversity loss, pollution & climate change, because I have children & grandchildren that are counting on world leaders to be leaders for nature. Let’s act with urgency for our children, for our future & for all life on Earth.

Over one million species now face the risk of extinction, edging us ever closer towards an uninhabitable world. It doesn’t have to be this way. At the #COP17 Biodiversity Conference, I urged leaders to make peace with nature.

Food is a basic human right. Yet around 645 million people faced hunger last year. We have the knowledge, technology & capacity to feed the world. It’s time to use it. Let’s ensure that every person, everywhere, has access to safe, nutritious & affordable food. #WorldFoodDay

Nature won’t thrive on good intentions alone. But we can halt & reverse biodiversity loss & secure the natural foundations upon which all human life & prosperity depend. The State of Biodiversity Action Report provides the necessary evidence & roadmap. cbd.int/globalreview/report2…

In an era of uncertainty & fragmentation, the need for the @UN has never been greater. The ongoing #UN80 initiative is an opportunity to make the Organization more efficient, more effective & better equipped to serve in a rapidly changing world.

As climate & disaster risks multiply, building safer dwellings is the shared responsibility of governments, developers, engineers & communities. Safety begins where we live. Together, let us commit to making every home a resilient one, now, and in the future.

‌Today’s debt crisis requires a fundamental shift to correct power imbalances across the global debt architecture. The Borrowers’ Platform can provide a powerful & permanent space to ensure countries can negotiate debt solutions from a position of strength & experience. unctad.org/topic/debt-and-fi…

I am heartbroken by the news that more than hundred migrants drowned off the coast of Djibouti, with many still missing. This is unacceptable. Every person searching for a better life deserves safety & dignity. We must ensure safe & legal pathways to prevent further loss of life.

1 in 5 girls worldwide is married before the age of 18. Child marriage compromises the education, health & safety of millions of girls across the globe. Together, let's defend the right of all girls to a childhood & end child marriage once & for all.

I am deeply shocked by & strongly condemn Saturday’s lethal attack by the Houthis on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which reportedly killed 12 people & injured hundreds of civilians.   Attacks on civilians & civilian infrastructure are a violation of international law. These attacks must cease immediately.
