Excited to take up my new role as
@unfccc
Executive Secretary in Bonn, Germany.
With a fully operational
#ParisAgreement

The task ahead is clear: We need to turn promises into actions & keep the 1.5C goal alive.

Tomorrow, during the opening of
#COP27

The urgency of the

Let us use COP27 to find common ground, so that we can reflect this urgency in our actions.

Nature & climate are two sides of the same coin. We can't solve one without the other.

Water sits at the heart of our response to the

Imagine what the world will look like in 2050 if we succeed in limiting global warming to 1.5°C and protecting all peoples from climate change impacts.
