#India, like many countries worldwide, is facing the harsh and costly realities of climate change. The good news is India is already leading the charge in #renewable energy. Watch my message recorded from one of the many electric tuk tuks on the streets of New Delhi. 👇

A strong national climate plan can supercharge #Nigeria's thriving economy, driving jobs and progress right across the #SDGs, fueled by affordable clean energy. Nature-based solutions like mangrove restoration further boost resilience and pay for themselves many times over.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Sebastião Salgado. A tireless champion of nature and human dignity, he used his art to advocate for the planet’s most vulnerable people and ecosystems. His legacy will continue to inspire action and advocacy for our planet & its people.
