For the second time this year, I’ve managed to tackle nearly another half marathon with no preparation. It's truly incredible what the body can achieve when the mind is fully engaged and determined.

As I reflect on this, I’m sending hugs and love to everyone in #Baku at #COP29.

#ICAO80

Despite a nearly all-male lineup of Heads of State at #COP29 opening, make no mistake—women are driving ambition and #ClimateAction at every level across the 🌍

Delighted to join Ministers & female leaders at #COP29. Thanks to Annalena Baerbock & Marina Silva for bringing us together.

Buildings equivalent to the size of Paris are built every week.

Smart infrastructure & urbanisation is critical, including in NDCs 3.0

The Intergovernmental Council for Buildings & Climate was launched today at #COP29 & @unep.bsky.social is proud to act as secretariat to support countries deliver.

The @unep.bsky.social message at #COP29 is clear: climate crunch time is here.

If done right, NDCs 3.0 can help create new jobs, resilient growth & clean air.

The United Nations is here to support countries deliver, and why UNEP & UNFCCC recommitted to work with parties to deliver ambitious plans

We're at the halfway point of #COP29

The UNFCCC and COP process is the home for climate multilateralism, one that ensures every country has a voice.
And those voices want to see strong movement on finance & ambitious NDCs 3.0

Big second week ahead. But together, we can deliver.

African climate leadership at #COP29 matters.

Africa is not a climate victim, but a continent of solutions to tackle the climate crisis. But these diverse countries need greater support to mitigate & adapt to climate impacts.

1/2.“The @ipcc.bsky.social has made it clear we have already exceeded limits of #Adaptation… Without scaling up #Mitigation in this critical decade there will be no resources enough to address #LossAndDamage.” Peru 🇵🇪 calls to continue work on the #MitigationWorkPlan at #COP29.

After brief opening remarks on Monday, #COP29 ground to a halt as parties could not adopt the agendas

It took delegates hours to agree how to frame talks on the dialogue for implementing the Global Stocktake outcomes

Eventually, work launched under all bodies

A bold statement from the UN Executive Secretary for Climate Change.

"We can not leave Baku without a substantial outcome,"
Now is the time to show that global cooperation is not down for the count. It's rising to the moment.

COP29 starts today! An opportunity to set ambitious #ClimateAction, increase commitments, and I am looking forward to the full operationalization of the fund responding to loss and damage. Pledges must turn into funds.
