My message Environment Forum: From innovative solutions to frontier technologies or creative mindsets, progress is made to address #climatechange .I strongly believe in the need to change narrative on climate & bring up positive examples #WordsForABetterWorld #LetsChangeTheNarrative
Greed is prevailing over need and we need to reverse this trend.
The planet is able to support each and every one of us but we must treat its resources with wisdom and respect.
-- United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres at the launch of Mission #LiFE
I'm encouraged by the commitment India's made to pursue environmentally sound policies. These efforts include a pledge to significantly increase investment & deployment of renewable energy, championing the International Solar Alliance, joining the #HACforNatureAndPeople : UNSG António Guterres
We have no choice but to choose cooperation over division, for one single reason: No one can address Global challenges, especially climate change on its own. The #LiFE initiative is a part of this agenda for stronger cooperation: France President Emmanuel Macron

#ClimateChange does not respect borders - but it does impact the lives of people globally.'

Multilateral development banks can make or break the transition to renewable energy.
As their shareholders, governments must step up & make sure banks are prepared to advance the process - and change the trajectory of our catastrophically warming planet. washingtonpost.com/business/energ…
Delighted to contribute to Europe-China Collaboration Forum @UCDublin & National Academy of Development and Strategy.To achieve real progress on #climateaction , we must reach radical collaboration where govts & businesses go beyond reducing #GHG and become solution providers for others to reduce their emissions
Women must have an equal say in decision-making. If half of the population is unable to participate as equals, no society can reach its full potential.
Thank you Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock!
