Had a great interview with Simona De Ciero for Corriere della Sera. Check out my thoughts on the urgent need to review the paradigm that underlies progress and wealth, including the need to rethink GDP. #sustainabledevelopment torino.corriere.it/notizie/cultur…

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” ― #NelsonMandela

Progress in women’s rights won over decades is vanishing before our eyes. On the current track, gender equality is 300 years away. Promoting women’s full contributions to society is not an act of charity or a favour to women. It is a must and it benefits everyone.

BREAKING: UN General Assembly ADOPTS resolution on “protection of civilians and upholding legal and humanitarian obligations” on the ongoing Gaza crisis FOR: 120 AGAINST: 14 ABSTAIN: 45 LIVE COVERAGE news.un.org/en/story/2023/…

In conflict, civilians always pay the highest price. War is not the answer. We need peace. Now.

Babies are #NotATarget. Schools are #NotATarget. Children are #NotATarget. Civilians are #NotATarget. Hospitals are #NotATarget. Humanitarians are #NotATarget. Healthcare workers are #NotATarget. They must be protected. At all times. Everywhere.

A humanitarian nightmare is engulfing the people of Gaza. I invoked Article 99 of the United Nations charter, because we are at a breaking point, with a high risk of the total collapse of the humanitarian support system in Gaza, with devastating consequences. un.org/sg/en/content/…

#GAZA: Hunger is spreading widely and people are going for days without food. WFP's staff continue to deliver on the ground every day. But there is simply not enough food, and there is no safety.

We have seen unparalleled destruction rained on the people of #Gaza. For them, there is no place of safety or respite. Some 1 million women & children are displaced, two mothers are killed every hour. These are people, not numbers, we are failing them. unwomen.org/en/news-storie…

Everyone has been touched by #cancer. On #WorldCancerDay, we call on all countries to invest in access to cancer services - prevention, screening and treatment. It is essential to ensure all patients in need receive timely care, if we are to achieve #HealthForAll.

What we share online can have consequences in the real world. Spreading misinformation can result in people being left uninformed, unprotected and can put lives at risk during a crisis. This Safer Internet Day and every day, pause and verify facts before sharing.

"I carry the voices of the vast majority of the world who have seen enough. Who have had enough. And who still believe that human dignity & decency must define us as a global community. It’s our only hope." -- António Guterres at Rafah crossing. un.org/sg/en/content/…
