Haven’t tweeted for a while. Busy in the engine room keeping #UNGA75 running. ⚙️ 📝 Escaped the city🌃 today for a lovely hike in #StormKing State Park. 🍁 Returned to Manhattan skyline with Empire State Building lit up in blue for #UNDay 🇺🇳 ❤️

Wonderful to see the GA Hall United Nations used today for elections to #CEDAW, a crucial part of the global women’s rights architecture. Delighted to see a role model of mine, former Senator & accomplished gender equality advocate Natasha Stott Despoja elected. 👏 🎉 Ambassador James Larsen 🇦🇺🇺🇳 Slovakia at the UN 🇸🇰🇪🇺🇺🇳

The interactive dialogue on Day 2 of the special session has begun! Join us on Web 📺 for discussions with 🇺🇳 UN agency heads, leading scientists 🧑🏻‍🔬 👩‍🔬 and civil society 🏥 🌳on the response to COVID-19. 👇

Heavy-hitting panel & some sobering messages: ➡️2021 will be catastrophic with famine risks ➡️200m won’t survive next year w/o intervention, a 40% increase ➡️ Shocking increase in violence against women & girls. 500,000 additional girls at risk of child marriage this year

When girls do not get an education: We lose ideas for a better tomorrow. We miss out on new leadership. Our future looks less bright. More than 11 million girls are at risk of not going back to school after #COVID19. We must ensure that every girl continues learning. UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳

While I was being held prisoner today in a virtual videoconference facility alongside Annalena Baerbock, the kids found some time for the #snowday ❄️ otherwise denied them on our NYC roof ⛄️

#Multilateralism 🦠 💉 💪

Watched #Selma w/ the kids to celebrate #MLKDay & discuss the ongoing struggle for racial equality. History doesn’t seem so long ago. Reflected that the arc of history bends towards justice, but not on its own. We each have a role to play in our words, deeds, & in our work United Nations.

Gripping & emotional day! I love the commitment to oratory & the art of the speech here in the USA 🇺🇸. When The White House got down to brass tacks later, some significant multilateral announcements for United Nations too. 🇺🇳 Welcome back folks. We missed you! 🤗

Moving interview with Sarah Copland 🦋 @sarahyvonne.bsky.social 🇦🇺 whose young son died in the #BeirutBlast. Working on women’s rights & gender equality for ESCWA, she symbolizes the commitment of UN workers in the field taking risks serving United Nations & its ideals. Thanks Melissa Fleming 🇺🇳 for sharing her story.

One of those days of consequence where you realise United Nations NY is without diplomatic rival. Briefing on #Myanmar where every country could have its say & seek to use the lever of collective will to support the people of Myanmar, their human rights & a return to civilian rule.

Proud of my boss and my team today! Happy #IWD everyone! 💪

Commemoration to eliminate racial discrimination today at #UNGA had special significance after 2020 here & around the world. Universal condemnation of racism and recognition of the need to do better. #FightRacism #EndAsianHate

Watch this speech! Extraordinary power & honesty from the Host State Ambassador Mike Waltz. Tears in the room, but also hope and inspiration embodied by her success. #FightRacism 🎥 ➡️bit.ly/3cSNhKP

Got my second shot! 💉 🦠 Feeling grateful & relieved. The science that got us here in record time is pretty extraordinary. 👏 Kudos to the scientists 👩🏼‍🔬 🧑🏽‍🔬 & the public health investments that supported them. Now we just need to vaccinate the world. 🌏 #Vaccines4All
