Every year, humanity produces over 2 billion tonnes of garbage. The waste crisis is an issue that goes to the heart of how we produce & consume. And it's an issue that requires action at the local, national & global levels. The fight against waste requires us all.

We live in times of intense uncertainty & unpredictability. But I can assure you of three things: We will never stop sticking to United Nations principles & values. We will never stop striving to make those values real in people’s lives. And we will never, ever give up.

The economic case for #ClimateAction is becoming ever clearer: Renewable energy is powering growth, creating jobs, lowering electricity bills & cleaning our air. The rewards are there for the taking, for all those ready and willing to lead the world out of the climate crisis.

People with autism are making vast contributions around the globe. On #WorldAutismAwarenessDay we reflect on their achievements, but we also recognise the challenges that remain. We need to ensure people with autism have equal opportunities to thrive.

Even before the earthquake, Myanmar was beset by political, human rights & humanitarian crises. The disaster has supercharged the suffering. I appeal to the international community to immediately step up vitally needed funding. I appeal for rapid, safe, sustained & unimpeded

Around the world, more than 100 million people are at risk from landmines & explosive remnants of war. Even when the guns fall silent, they continue to kill civilians indiscriminately & block development efforts. On #MineAwarenessDay, let’s commit to build a safer future.

The 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda was not a spontaneous frenzy of horrendous violence. It was intentional. It was premeditated. It was planned. This terrible period of Rwanda’s history reminds us that no society is immune from hate and horror.

Today I met again with relatives of Israeli hostages and listened to their searing stories of pain and grief. I condemned Hamas for their brutal kidnapping and horrible treatment. I expressed my condolences to the families of those killed and reiterated my call for all hostages

More than a month has passed without a drop of aid into Gaza. As aid has dried up, the floodgates of horror have re-opened. It’s time to end the dehumanization, protect civilians, release the hostages, ensure lifesaving aid & renew the ceasefire.

Humanitarian heroes in Gaza are under fire and yet doing all they can to help people. United Nations agencies and partners are ready and determined to deliver. But the Israeli authorities newly proposed “authorization mechanisms” for aid delivery risk further controlling and callously

As the occupying power, Israel has unequivocal obligations under international law – including international humanitarian law and international human rights law. Yet currently no humanitarian supplies can enter Gaza. Meanwhile, at the crossing points, food, medicine and shelter

Two years into a devastating war, Sudan remains in a crisis of staggering proportions, with civilians paying the highest price. I will continue to engage with regional leaders on means to enhance our efforts for peace. The world must not forget the people of Sudan.

Nearly 70% of Gaza is now under Israeli-issued displacement orders or within a “no-go” zone. I'm very concerned as aid continues to be blocked, with devastating consequences. Civilians must be respected & protected at all times, and they must have the basic necessities to

To all Christians celebrating #Easter, I want to express my best wishes, especially to those who cannot celebrate in peace and security because of conflict and persecution. In this moment of hope and resurrection, I want to appeal for a world of solidarity and compassion.
