This week, environmental leaders will come together at #GEFAssembly2026. The Assembly follows a successful #GEF9 replenishment - a strong signal from countries on the importance of investing in the environment. A busy few days ahead as we continue our work #ForPeopleForPlanet @thegef.bsky.social

This #WorldEnvironmentDay we are calling on everyone to move together for climate action.  Because if global temperatures go past 1.5°C, we must bring them back down as quickly as possible. So limbo & go as low as you can! Follow @unep.org and visit www.worldenvironmentday.global/2026/get-inv...

Today, as Sir David Attenborough turns 100, we mark the extraordinary contribution of a global figure who has dedicated his life to deepening our understanding of nature. His work reminds us all to protect the only home we share - with urgency, responsibility and hope. Happy birthday, Sir David!

My #RES2026 three key take aways: 1️⃣ Shared challenges mean shared opportunities. Central Asian countries are working together #ForPeopleForPlanet. 2️⃣ Circularity is the future - supporting resilience and new jobs. 3️⃣ Strong biodiversity collaboration, with @unep.org support, is already happening.

Agency. Equality under the law. Opportunities. This is the foundation of a gender-equal, sustainable future. For #InternationalWomensDay I answered a few quick questions from the @unep.org team. My advice? Don’t be intimidated. Make your voice heard. What advice would you share? Who inspires you?

Medicinal & aromatic plants are nature’s pharmacy - protecting human health, biodiversity and livelihoods. This year #WorldWildlifeDay focuses on their importance. Join me at 1:30pm CET for the online @genevaenvironmentnetwork.org #WWD2026 event: www.genevaenvironmentnetwork.org/events/world...

Did you know peatlands cover only 3% of the Earth’s surface, yet they store an estimated 550 billion tonnes of carbon - about twice as much as all the world’s forests combined. @unep.org explains why protecting these carbon sinks is vital #ForPeopleForPlanet.

Even amid global tensions, 2025 was a year in which nations showed that environmental multilateralism is the beacon that rises high above the fog of geopolitical differences to rally the world in united action. Read the just released @unep.org Annual Report: www.unep.org/resources/an...

The new Intergovernmental Science-Policy Panel on Chemicals, Waste and Pollution (ISP-CWP) will provide the world with the science and data we need to: ✅ Prevent pollution ✅ Ensure the sound management of chemicals ✅ Manage waste better Understand more as #ISPCWP1 continues: www.unep.org/isp-cwp

Today, on the third anniversary of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, pleased to share this video with @unep.org Patron of Biodiversity, Her Majesty Queen Mary of Denmark. At #UNEA7, Her Majesty underscored the urgency we need to protect nature. Very grateful for her leadership.
