The world faces three existential threats:
Runaway artificial intelligence.
The climate crisis.
And the intolerable deepening of inequalities.
Next week, world leaders are coming together at #UNGA.
My message to them:
International cooperation is more important than ever.

Valuable exchange with ASG @SelwinHart on African priorities ahead of SG’s Climate Summit. We discussed resilience, affordable climate finance, and better integrating climate-related peace and security risks, including conflict and food insecurity, in Africa’s climate response.

Fruitful discussions b/n @ClaverGatete & SG’s Special Adviser for Climate Action @SelwinHart on Africa’s climate priorities & COP32 preparations. They discussed strengthening African climate negotiators with data, technical capacity & support needed to advance Africa’s priorities
Selwin Hart retweeted
Humanity is speeding towards a climate catastrophe.
That’s the stark warning from the latest @UNEP report.
Every fraction of a degree of warming will cost lives, deepen inequalities & push ecosystems closer to irreversible damage.
We must raise ambition, accelerate #ClimateAction & fight for humanity. NOW.

Secretary-General @antonioguterres is saddened by the severe flooding in Nepal and China, which has claimed many lives, left people missing and caused widespread destruction.

"The climate crisis is in overdrive."
Amid extreme heat & worsening @WMO forecasts for coming months, @antonioguterres calls for more #ClimateAction to protect people, make work safer, build & retrofit for high temperatures & stop fuelling the crisis.

As extreme heat is becoming more dangerous, we need more action to address it:
1. Protect people before heat becomes deadlier.
2. Make work safer. No one should have to risk their life to earn a living.
3. Build & retrofit for the heat.
4. Stop fuelling the crisis.

The climate fight will not be won in negotiating rooms, but through the actions we take in our communities.
Local leaders have the responsibility to ensure the clean energy transition is fast, fair & delivers security, resilience & prosperity for all.
They have my full support.
Selwin Hart retweeted
The clean energy future is already here.
Renewables are the cheapest, fastest and most reliable source of new power.
But the transition is still not fast & fair enough.
This is our moment of choice, truth & opportunity to truly supercharge a global clean energy transition.

Today at @Climate_Action_’s Climate Innovation Forum 2026, leaders from business, finance, and tech explored the partnerships needed for net-zero.
Speakers including @SelwinHart and André Corrêa do Lago highlighted the importance of scaling investment for real progress.

The climate crisis & the energy crisis may seem separate, but they share the same destructive origin:
Fossil fuels.
And they demand the same answer: A fast, fair transition to clean energy & a surge in adaptation, resilience & climate justice for those already facing climate harm.
Selwin Hart retweeted
For climate, this is the best of times & the worst of times.
The worst – because climate impacts are intensifying & the energy crisis has exposed the deep risks of dependence on fossil fuels.
The best – because the renewables revolution is well underway.
We have the enormous opportunity – and responsibility - to turn this into a moment of resolve, fairness & shared progress. We can finally turn the page on fossil fuels & write a future powered by renewables & rooted in climate justice.

Methane drives around 1/3 of global warming and is 80 times more powerful than CO2. But aggressive cuts could deliver visible temperature benefits within a generation.
That's why I’m launching a global call to cut methane emissions – in waste, agriculture & fossil fuels. This includes setting a new global standard for the oil & gas sector: near-zero methane emissions across the value chain.
Selwin Hart retweeted
The past eleven years have been the hottest on record.
Every fraction of a degree brings greater harm – especially to the most vulnerable.
This #WorldEnvironmentDay, warning signals are everywhere.
This is the moment to act for our environment & for our future.
World Environment Day 2026
Selwin Hart retweeted
El Niño is arriving on our doorstep in the coming months with 90% certainty.
The world must treat it as the urgent climate warning it is.
The only effective response is #ClimateAction equal to the crisis – ending the addiction to fossil fuels, accelerating the shift to renewables, protecting the most vulnerable, and delivering early warning systems for all.

As the situation in the #StraitOfHormuz shows, a global economy built on fossil fuels is inherently volatile & unstable.
"Transitioning away from fossil fuels is no longer just a climate imperative, it's an economic & development imperative." Selwin Hart, @UN #ClimateAction Team
Selwin Hart retweeted
“A global economy that is built on fossil fuels is inherently volatile & unstable.”
UN #ClimateAction Adviser @SelwinHart explains why transitioning to renewable energy is crucial for our economies & our planet.
We just lived through the hottest years in human history.
And it’s getting worse.
As @antonioguterres warned, every climate indicator is flashing red.
This is not a distant threat. This is the world as it is.
The good news: we have a way out.
No price spikes for sunlight. No embargoes on the wind. #ClimateAction #StateOfClimate
