Standing in Cox’s Bazar today with 🇺🇦 Amb. @OPolishchukUA & 🇫🇷 Amb. @JMSereCharlet was a powerful reminder of what solidarity looks like. Ukraine provided 3,000 tonnes of sunflower oil, 🇸🇪 funded via #GrainFromUkraine. This will feed 1M Rohingya for 3 months.

Fair and accessible climate finance is the key enabler to turn plans into progress across the world. Because climate finance is not charity. It is an investment. In jobs, in growth and in resilience. For a prosperous world for us all. #FinanceDay | #COP30
