The links between climate change, environmental degradation, peace & security have never been clearer. Unless we act, climate change will accelerate conflict even further. At #SthlmForum with @SIPRIorg 's Dan Smith, discussed how a healthy environment is the foundation to peace.

Devastating to see the catastrophic & deadly floods in Southern Brazil. Our thoughts at @UNEP are with all those who have been affected & lost loved ones. From Brazil to Kenya to Tanzania, nature is screaming at us across the world to tackle the #ClimateCrisis . We must act. Now.
