Delighted to moderate a great panel on #climatesecurity today in Prague with @HeadUNDRR @JMDMarley @GERClimatEnergy @UNEnvironmentEU @JanDanhelka. Strong focus on breaking down siloes & early warning AND action #EU2022CZ #Czechia4Climate
"More people are displaced by climate caused disasters than conflicts. That is why @antonioguterres wants to launch a #0ClimateDisasters campaign by 2050 at #COP27," announced @HeadUNDRR and stressed the need of global collaborative work.

Gazprom's move to completely shut off gas supplies to Poland is yet another sign of Russia's politicisation of existing agreements & will only accelerate European efforts to move away from Russian energy supplies @IEA stands firmly with Poland
Polska posiada niezbędne rezerwy gazu oraz źródła dostaw, które chronią nasze bezpieczeństwo - od lat skutecznie uniezależnialiśmy się od Rosji. Nasze magazyny są napełnione w 76%. Nie zabraknie gazu w polskich domach.

This is indeed disappointing. We will continue to work on climate change related security risks. #climatediplomacy
Amb Leendertse deplores that draft resolution on #ClimateandSecurity was vetoed in UNSC today. It would have given UNSC much-needed tools to respond to climate-related security risks. 🇩🇪 will continue efforts w/ partners to ensure that climate crises are addressed adequately.

On behalf of Group of Friends on Climate & Security, Amb. Leendertse urges UNSC to adopt resolution to address threats to peace & security posed by #ClimateChange. It would create framework to implement GoF proposals & to enhance 🇺🇳 risk analysis, capacity-building & response.

Unsere Wasserstoffdiplomatie nimmt Fahrt auf. Weitere H2-Diplo Büros werden folgen.
Die globale Energiewende wirkt sich zwangsläufig geopolitisch aus.#Wasserstoff spielt dabei eine wichtige Rolle. Mit sog.„Wasserstoffbüros“ bauen wir die Zusammenarbeit mit Schlüsselländern aus, u.a. in Nigeria, wo heute das 1. Büro seine Arbeit aufnimmt. https://t.co/v57iFmdBSs
