#ClimateAction is dwarfed by the scale of the climate challenge. Today at #UNGA, I’m urging leaders to generate momentum that we build on over the coming months. We can – and we must turn up the tempo.

Civilians and civilian infrastructure are #NotATarget. They must be protected. At all times. Everywhere.

I am looking forward to seeing Volker Turk during his visit. I shall be in Ottawa for the CARICOM-Canada Summit, which will include important discussions on Haiti.

I was encouraged by what seemed to be a growing consensus for the need of at least a humanitarian pause in the Middle East. Regrettably, instead I was surprised by an unprecedented escalation of bombardments, undermining humanitarian objectives. This situation must be reversed.

At #COP28 , I joined President Emmanuel Macron & other leaders to proudly announce the United States is joining the Powering Past Coal Alliance. We will work with partners around the world to phase out unabated coal, an absolutely essential step for keeping 1.5 C within reach.

2023 has been confirmed as the warmest year on record. Yet, 2023 was a mere preview of the catastrophic future that awaits if we don’t #ActNow. Leaders must commit to path-breaking #ClimateAction, end the fossil fuel age – fairly and fast – and invest in helping vulnerable
