Achieving the #GlobalGoals requires leaving no one behind, especially the 1.3 billion people with disabilities. I call on the world to work side-by-side with people with disabilities to design & deliver solutions based on equal rights in every country & community.

My hopes for #COP28: 1. Commitments to get nationally determined contributions in line with 1.5°C limit. 2. Fossil fuel phaseout & big investments in renewables. 3. Acceleration of climate justice. It is not too late to stop the climate crisis. But we need #ClimateAction now.

AI has the potential to accelerate #EarlyWarning capacity, especially in areas where traditional meteorlogical data coverage is low, such as Africa. Thank you Egypt for the important session at #COP28UAE #EarlyWarningsForAll

I welcome the EU proposed regulation to restore and protect degraded habitats. Environmental degradation is major risk driver. This is an important step to strengthen disaster resilience and preserve nature for future generations https://t.co/eDbDCUkQzA

Legislation will set targets to restore 20% of EU land and seas by 2030, and 90% of degraded habitats by 2050

The concept of risk tipping points is in line with our warnings that countries are accumulating #InterconnectedRisks, beyond their ability to adapt. We call on countries to invest in solutions that prevent these risks from triggering disasters. @UNUEHS ➡️ https://t.co/MBE68F7dBn

Inspiring to join 1400 school students in Tonga today testing the tsunami early warning system . Education on disaster risk is crucial to save lives and no one knows this better than the communities here after the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano and tsunami last year.
