Europe’s savage heatwave has the fingerprints of the climate crisis all over it.
Until humanity stops burning coal, oil and gas, extreme heat will keep getting worse.
The solutions are clear: a faster shift to renewables, protecting forests and boosting climate resilience.
From local pitches to the World Cup, football brings people together
But climate change is reshaping the conditions the game is played in
The shift to clean energy and stronger resilience is already underway. Now we must move faster to protect the game & everyone who watches it
Clean energy is the fastest route to energy security, sovereignty and affordability for all.
The current fossil fuel cost crisis has made that painfully clear.
The shift is unstoppable – but it must be just and global.

Our Yearly Offer of Action was built around a simple principle: climate progress is measured by what we deliver.
At #LCAW26, @UNFCCC Executive Secretary @simonstiell highlighted its importance, as more mayors join the initiative.
ALT A promotional graphic featuring a quote on climate action from Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC, alongside a portrait photo of him against a colorful London cityscape background. “Subnational governments are demonstrating how climate ambition can be translated into tangible results for people and communities. This kind of collective yearly implementation across all levels of government is essential to bolstering climate action and achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement.”
Methane drives around 1/3 of global warming and is 80 times more powerful than CO2. But aggressive cuts could deliver visible temperature benefits within a generation.
That's why I’m launching a global call to cut methane emissions – in waste, agriculture & fossil fuels. This includes setting a new global standard for the oil & gas sector: near-zero methane emissions across the value chain.
“We can finally turn the page on fossil fuels — and write a future powered by renewables and rooted in climate justice.”
As climate impacts worsen, @antonioguterres urges faster #ClimateAction to build a fairer, more resilient world for all.

It’s #showyourstripes day!
The climate stripes are a data visualization to portray long-term temperature trends in different locations around the world, developed by scientist @ed_hawkins

#JuneClimateMeetings delivered real progress in key areas, like a just transition & electrification. In other key areas, there was stalling & side-stepping.
We must deliver on all existing commitments, without cherry-picking. To protect 8 billion people.

People the world over need climate cooperation to keep delivering, at increasing speed and scale.
At the #JuneClimateMeetings, we must advance key issues, including ambition, adaptation, a just transition, climate finance & more.
Make these 2 weeks count.

It is time to take climate action from ambition to progress.
Chile is tackling air pollution. Nigeria is building solar-powered facilities. Countries everywhere are turning climate ambition into action.
A new chapter begins with Climate Promise: Forward.
Join. Partner. Invest.
From 8-18 June, delegates from around the world will gather for the annual UN #JuneClimateMeetings - a crucial stepping stone, helping to set the agenda for the #COP31 UN Climate Conference in November in Antalya, Türkiye, and driving action now.

The heatwaves are a brutal reminder of the spiraling impacts of the climate crisis, both human and economic.
The main culprit is the world’s addiction to burning coal, oil and gas, and destroying forests.
But the solution is clear: more clean energy and climate resilience.
"COP31 will be able to provide an important opportunity to strengthen collective action, accelerate implementation and reinforce international cooperation.”

This is another crucial year in a crucial decade for climate action.
We must make progress at the #JuneClimateMeetings on our 2030 and 2035 milestones on finance, mitigation and adaptation.
So that we come to #COP31 ready to advance and deliver outcomes.
Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth — from plants and animals to tiny microorganisms — that keeps our ecosystems healthy and resilient.
Yet habitat loss, pollution, and climate change are pushing nature to the brink.

I welcome the adoption of the General Assembly resolution on the @CIJ_ICJ's advisory opinion on climate change – a powerful affirmation of international law, climate justice, science & the responsibility of states to protect people from the escalating climate crisis.
Those least responsible for climate change are paying the highest price.
That injustice must end.
