The #GEN25 celebration culminated with a high-level panel reflecting on "Multilateralism Looking at the Future – Protecting the #Environment with Humanity at the Center", where the message is clear:
We have solutions to tackle environmental crises. Political will is a must.

🎉 Congratulations to GEN for its great work to promote environment cooperation among UN organizations and Missions in Geneva. 🌎🌳 We need to redouble multilateral cooperation to meet the triple crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution! #GEN25
