More than 70 journalists have been killed this year for simply fulfilling their vital role in society. Most of these crimes go unsolved.
We must end the common culture of impunity and enable journalists to do their essential work.

Many cities are already leading the transition to renewable energy, setting credible net-zero targets and building climate-resilient infrastructure.
The actions cities take locally to create a sustainable world will reverberate globally.

We need to:
end our reliance on fossil fuels
avoid a lock-in of new fossil fuel infrastructure
invest massively in renewables.
We need #ClimateAction on all fronts – and we need it now.
The climate crisis is not gender neutral.
It aggravates all types of gender-based violence - from physical to psychological and economic.
The knowledge, experience & leadership of women is essential in all #ClimateAction efforts.
The horrors of the war in Ukraine should not put #ClimateAction on the back burner.
Doubling down on fossil fuels is not the answer.
The only path to energy security, stable power prices & a livable planet lies in accelerating the renewable energy transition.
With divisions and conflicts multiplying, we must use diplomacy, dialogue & negotiation to eliminate the nuclear threat, once and for all.
Disarmament is the only path to save humanity & secure our common future.
