'Plastic is fantastic' is a fairy tale gone wrong.

Facing a pollution nightmare that threatens our health and ecosystems, it's time to eliminate unnecessary plastic products.

Best #Nowruz greetings to all!

In the Nowruz spirit of new beginnings celebrating the beauty of nature I once again plea for the release of our UN Environment Programme colleague, Niloufar Bayani & the other conservationists imprisoned in Iran for more than 6 years.

Ramadan Kareem. As we embark on the holy month of #Ramadan , my fervent wishes for peace for all.

Ramadan is a time of compassion, reflection and solidarity with those less fortunate. In these difficult times, may this spirit guide our actions.

Most grateful to UN Environment Programme Advocate Jason Momoa for his clear words in this CNN Op-Ed.

Reflecting on the devastating Lahaina fires, Jason explains how nature can still heal. We are glad to have him on board of #GenerationRestoration
