On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we’re highlighting Climate, Crisis and Courage: A UN Podcast, exploring how #ClimateChange reshapes lives and the resilience of communities reacting to it. Watch a clip from our upcoming episode on water in #Iraq with Peshtiwan Al Dawoudi and @nazaninemoshiri.bsky.social.

Our @doctorchris.bsky.social spoke at the Global Solutions Summit on what true security means today. Without investing in security and peace, we risk creating a distorted security architecture, prioritising responses to escalating threats while underinvesting in prevention and diplomacy. #GSS2026

Before you repost, pause. In #Beirut, Jana Sleem, Najwa El Halabi and Rony Akiki reflect on how misinformation, #disinformation and #HateSpeech shape reality. In conflict, every share matters. Ask: Who benefits? What’s the source? What narrative is being reinforced? Information shapes reality.
