#DidYouKnow : #SDG5 is deeply interconnected with all other SDGs. Without gender equality, sustainable progress remains out of reach. Equality for women and girls lays the foundation for every global goal, building stronger societies and a future where everyone thrives.

I am deeply saddened by the reports of deaths and injuries - including of journalists and medical personnel - connected to protests and street demonstrations in Kenya. I urge the Kenyan authorities to exercise restraint, and call for all demonstrations to take place peacefully.

Integrating climate education into our curriculum is not just important—it's crucial! The new webinar series by UNESCO & UN Climate Change unfccc.int/news/readying-… aims to empower teachers and students worldwide, fostering climate literacy and action. With 70% of youth feeling unprepared to face climate challenges, it's time we prioritize comprehensive climate education. Let's ensure every learner is climate-ready and equipped to build a sustainable future! #ClimateEducation @PACJA1

Now, it's the most visited building in Germany. A magnificent ode to human perseverance: In WW2, Cologne was obliterated, but the cathedral stood tall — despite taking 14 aerial bomb hits.

Experts from @UNESCO, #ICCROM, @ICOMOS, and @IUCN gathered in Bonn to kickstart the development of the World Heritage Climate Action Toolkit. Aiming to create a shared resource on #ClimateAction for WH, bolstering managers & rights holders in line with the Climate Action Policy.

Over taxation, especially of goods and services used by mama Mboga and Wanjiku, make governments very unpopular and delegitimised when it doesn't provide corresponding services or when the taxes are stollen by corrupt civil servants. President William Ruto's government is going that route full speed. Personally, l, grudgingly rationalise the need to raise taxes so that OUR government repays the reckless borrowing of President Uhuru, gives US good (just third world standard) services...ie uninterrupted electricity, clean running water, good roads and functional sewage, good security, excellent health care, good education, a functional justice system, a government that prosecutes and jails thieves who steal our taxes...Our government raises taxes every year and we obviously don't get value of money. We don't have good roads, health services are in shambles, the education system is almost non-existent (very soon, more children will do British curriculum than Kenyan), judges make more than than lawyers, farmers are suffering because of fake fertilisers and Hon Mithika Linturi refuses to take responsibility, theft of public money is normal, Governors and county officials are stealing like crazy etc...etc...So surely, why do we pay taxes? For CSs, judges, and governors to steal it? Doesn't make sense for me. H.E. @WilliamsRuto needs to engage Kenyans on these taxes and why it is stolen UNDER HIS WATCH. Mr. President, we will pay taxes but give us value for our money and stop your Waziris, judges, and governors stealing Wanjiku's taxes.

The UK's Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's father was born in Kenya. USA's first Black President, Barack Obama's father was Kenyan. Scotland's former First Minister, Humza Yousaf's mother was born in Kenya.

That’s a wrap! #2024UNCSC @UNDGC_CSO @MaherNasserUN @agengocarole Stay tuned Monday for the chairs’ reflections

Here in Kenya, I am extending my deepest condolences to all those affected by the devastating floods that have swept through this country & neighbouring countries. The @UN stands in solidarity with the Kenyan people and is determined to mobilize the international community to fight climate change.

Time and again, I have witnessed the enormous impact of civil society in every corner of the world. Today, I saluted their work at the @UN Civil Society Conference in Nairobi, and I asked them to keep working with us to build a better world.

As the @UN makes history by hosting its civil society conference in Africa for the first time,we are thrilled to be hosting a workshop there bringing together various actors to speak about Empowering youth for a sustainable development and a more equitable future!

After more than 1,100 Israelis were killed in the Hamas terror attacks of 7 October, after more than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, haven’t we seen enough? Haven’t civilians suffered enough death & destruction? The international community has a shared responsibility to promote a humanitarian ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages, and a massive surge in life-saving aid.
