#IMarchFor gender parity because we live in a male-dominated world with a male-dominated culture. We need to have as many women as men in all positions of responsibility in our societies.

This segment of the Berlin Wall in our NY Headquarters, is a daily reminder of the artificial divisions sometimes created to separate us - but also of our power to dismantle them and create a better world, together.

Yesterday for the first time in Jamaica’s history, children were addressing a sitting of the House of Parliament in a special session focused on violence against children. Led by seven-year-old Ngozi Wright and her twin brother Tafari, each made a plea to the parliamentarians.

A plea for help from small island states and developing countries vulnerable to the impacts of climate change - powerful words from Lois Young AOSIS AOSIS at #COP25

The Climate Ambition Alliance is accelerating the transformation needed to meet the goals of the #ParisAgreement. 73 countries, 14 regions, 401 cities, 786 businesses, and 16 investors are taking #ClimateAction to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. 👉bit.ly/2rBqKib

"To workers in the traditional (fossil fuel) energy industries, I have a clear message. Those of us leading on climate action are not adversaries. We want the same thing as you: decent jobs in a cleaner, healthier world" - António Guterres today at #COP25: bit.ly/2PQulBh

The enormous opportunities linked to #ClimateAction are overlooked too often. Economic growth and tackling the climate crisis go hand in hand. The green economy is the economy of the future and we need to make way for it right now. bit.ly/36s0ntJ #COP25

On the last day of #COP25 I appeal to countries to send a message of ambition to the world - to align their climate objectives to science, and commit to stronger #ClimateAction.

I am disappointed with the results of #COP25. The international community lost an important opportunity to show increased ambition on mitigation, adaptation & finance to tackle the climate crisis. But we must not give up, and I will not give up.

I am more determined than ever to work for 2020 to be the year in which all countries commit to do what science tells us is necessary to reach carbon neutrality in 2050 and a no more than 1.5 degree temperature rise. #ClimateAction

After getting married, my wife & I travelled to Venice. Memories of that trip made seeing images of climate impacts on the city particularly poignant. Today in Italy, I expressed my solidarity with Venice and vowed again: I will not give up the race against the climate crisis.

I'm delighted to have met His Holiness Pope Francis. Pope Leo XIV is a messenger of hope & dignity, supporting human rights, refugees & migrants, and building bridges between communities. He is a champion for the protection of the planet. We need his moral voice more than ever.

"The world needs young people to keep speaking out, applying pressure & pushing boundaries to have us protect our planet & improve the lives of its people. Wishing everyone, everywhere peace & happiness in 2020." -- António Guterres in a special New Year message. #HappyNewYear

#2019in5words #ClimateChange is happening NOW. Amidst the 2019 European heatwave, alpinist Bryan Mestre captured this photo of a newly formed lake of meltwater in the Alps. In 2020, leaders have the chance to act on the #ClimateEmergency and protect both people and 🌏.

We cannot reduce poverty and inequality without addressing the world’s most pervasive form of discrimination, affecting half of humanity: women and girls. We will only shift the balance when we truly see women’s rights as our common goal.

"Only through the equal participation of women can we benefit from the intelligence, experience and insights of all of humanity." -- António Guterres calling for gender quality in his "Women and Power" speech. bit.ly/3afGMPp

The 🌏 could lose up to 50% of forest life in its most biodiversity-rich regions due to #ClimateChange. This underscores the urgent need to take #ClimateAction in line with the 1.5°C #globalheating goal of the #ParisAgreement #WorldWildlifeDay

On United Nations Peacekeepers Day, I pay tribute to the 95,000 civilian, police & military personnel deployed with UN Peacekeeping around the world. They face one of the greatest challenges ever: delivering peace & security while helping countries address #COVID19. #PKDay

I’m grateful and inspired by this week’s meeting of global leaders in solidarity with developing countries in the face #COVID19. Only through cooperation can we create a different and better world for our children and generations to come. bit.ly/3dfHNJp

No country or community can solve the complex problems of our world alone. We need to come together - not only to talk, but to listen. As the UN turns 75, I want to hear from you how we can build a better future for all, together. Take our #UN75 survey.
