.@antonioguterres is deeply alarmed by the recent escalation in Venezuela.
He continues to emphasize the importance of full respect - by all - of international law, including the UN Charter.

Today #SB8J_1, the 1st meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Article 8(j) of the CBD, begins in Panama City.
Consensus at #COP16Colombia delivered the historic agreement that established it. We owe it to indigenous peoples and local communities around 🌍 to make that moment count.

Over the weekend in Gaza, we saw yet more mass shootings & killings of people seeking @UN aid – an atrocious & inhumane act which I utterly condemn.
We need an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages & unimpeded humanitarian access.

I welcome that the @CIJ_ICJ has just made it very clear: all States are obligated under international law to protect the global climate system.
This is victory for planet, for climate justice, and for the power of young people leading the way.

Countries that cling to fossil fuels are sabotaging their economies.
Driving up costs, undermining competitiveness, locking-in stranded assets.
They are missing the greatest economic opportunity of the 21st century: the renewable energy revolution.

Our survival is tied to our planet's—yet we cling to the delusion that nature exists to serve us.
This mindset fuels crisis after crisis—from #climate chaos to conflicts rooted in domination & control.
We need a new politics that works for humanity & our planet.

¡La biodiversidad tiene respaldo! Una #COP16Histórica en la que logramos que el mundo adopte, por primera vez, un plan global para financiar su conservación.
Esto significa más recursos, monitoreo y un mecanismo financiero para hacer realidad el Marco Global de Biodiversidad. 🌎

Multilateralism at its best.
At #COP16Resumed, countries have agreed to mobilize resources to protect biodiversity worldwide—safeguarding people and livelihoods, the planet, and our food systems.
Let’s build on this momentum to keep delivering a better future for all.
