Yesterday 🇨🇭 hosted an #ACTGroup meeting with UN Foundation #YouthFellows to continue the discussion around young people’s expectations for the selection of the next #UNSG & the future of the UN. The message to member states was clear: “Don’t just choose the person. Back the job."
The United Nations Needs a Secretary-General of Courage, Not Convenience

My @ActionAid quote on #UNSG #NDC summit 👇
actionaid.org/news/2025/gl...
Action on #methane mitigation in the oil and gas sector is an emergency brake for #globalwarming. This will help to reduce methane emissions globally by 30% by 2030. 🙏 to the #Climate and Clean Air Coalition at #UNEP for bringing us together & #UNSG to take up our results in the #SolutionsDialogue.
