Moving away from fossil fuels is essential. How we make that transition will determine who benefits and who bears the costs.
At COP31, the priority is to turn climate commitments into human rights–based action, with practical support by the people affected.

"The brutal truth is that the climate crisis is outrunning us.
Starting next year I will no longer be Secretary-General.
But you can count on this: I will not stop telling the truth, and I will not stop fighting for it."

1.5 billion women & girls live in climate hotspots.
At #COP31, @UN_Women urges stronger #ClimateAction that puts women’s rights at its heart, warning that the climate crisis could push up to 141 million more women and girls into extreme poverty by 2050.

"Here at the Paris Peace Forum, I found a community looking to shape something better for our children, and with our children."

🕊️ “Cooperating gives us the means to exercise our sovereignty.”
In a message to the Paris Peace Forum, UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres makes the case for cooperation: no economy is safe from the shocks of war, no border can hold back rising seas, no firewall can protect us from an algorithm gone rogue. No power can meet these challenges alone.
👉 For the years ahead, we must:
silence the guns and protect civilians;
reform global institutions;
accelerate a just transition away from fossil fuels;
govern artificial intelligence.

Fossil fuels are not only driving the climate crisis. Dependence on them carries a steep economic & security price, as the crisis in the Middle East has shown.
An accelerated transition away from fossil fuels is fundamental to building economies that are cleaner, more secure & less exposed to shocks.
At #COP31 we must move from discussing the transition to organizing it, financing it & delivering it.

We've entered a new age of climate extremes:
A supersized El Niño is colliding with a planet already superheated by climate change.
The latest @WMO report shows once again that leaders must get serious by cutting emissions faster, accelerating a just transition from fossil fuels & delivering the finance & protection vulnerable countries need.
