2.8 billion people live in inadequate housing.

1.1 billion live in slums & informal settlements.

As I said at #COP30 Ministerial Meeting on Urbanization and Climate Change, with the right policies & finance, we can deliver affordable, climate-resilient housing for all: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

To close the weather and climate data gap, we urgently need to scale up action.

The new Systematic Observations Financing Facility Action Report, launched at #COP30 and supported by @unep.org, @wmo-global.bsky.social and @undp.org, reinforces the need to close the most critical data gaps worldwide.
November 13, 2025 at 1:35 AM
@unep.org and @wmo-global.bsky.social are working together to produce the climate science and data we need so that together, we can all deliver faster progress on the #ParisAgreement.

Pleased to meet Celeste Saulo, World Meteorological Organisation Secretary-General, at #COP30 to discuss more.

Pleased to meet Tawfeeq Al Sharjabi, Yemen Minister of Water and Environment, at #COP30.
 
In Yemen, climate change is increasing pressure on resources and increasing disaster risk.
 
And why UNEP is working with UN and national partners to support climate resilience, governance & capacity building.

Deeply appreciate such strong German 🇩🇪 support for @unep.org work to protect biodiversity, #ClimateAction and #BeatPollution

#COP30 is about implementation.

We've made #ParisAgreement progress, but not enough as @unep.org #EmissionsGap data shows

That does not mean we give up.

It means we become more determined.

In Belém UNEP is supporting proven solutions on:
🌍 Methane
🌎 Sustainable cooling
🌏 Buildings & construction
November 10, 2025 at 6:32 PM
Ahead of #COP30 beginning, @unep.org data is clear: we're off track to deliver the #ParisAgreement

But we cannot despair. To the contrary, we must become even more determined.

Proven solutions exist. Now is the time for countries to go all in & invest in their future with ambitious #ClimateAction
November 9, 2025 at 12:17 PM
Every person on this planet is living with the impacts of climate change: wildfires, heatwaves, desertification, floods, rising costs and more.

#COP30, hosted by Brazil in Belém, will help accelerate #ClimateAction, solutions and ambition.

Join @unep.org there: www.unep.org/unep-climate...

@unep.org #EmissionsGap Report is clear: While new national climate plans have delivered some progress, we are off track to deliver #ParisAgreement goals.

But proven solutions exist. Ambitious #ClimateAction can deliver growth, jobs, energy security, resilience & more: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Today, 53 million people rely on high-risk tropical forests for water, food, jobs, and disaster resilience.

Tripling investments in these forests can drive growth and boost the fight against climate change and biodiversity loss.

@unep.org report explains how: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Slow climate adaptation is threatening lives and economies.

We need a global adaptation finance push.

Even amid competing priorities the reality is simple: if we do not invest now, we will face escalating costs every year.
