Strong leadership and bold vision at COP14 to the Abidjan Convention As the region unites to protect marine biodiversity and build the resilience of coastal communities, powerful messages are emerging from #ABCCOP14 in Nouakchott, Mauritania: "The theme of the #ABCCOP14 speaks a volume about the vision of the Secretariat in its ambition to address the major present and future environmental challenges of the marine and coastal zones within the @UNAbjConvention region." @MamadouKane_UN, Executive Secretary "The Abidjan Convention is one link in a chain of 18 Regional Seas Conventions and Action Plans. It is a cornerstone of the global efforts to tackle marine biodiversity loss and plastic pollution. With one noble goal." @SCMGardner, Director, Ecosystems Division, @UNEP

Great conversations in Mexico City with Undersecretary Enrique Ochoa at SRE. We discussed the challenges and powerful opportunities that lie ahead for environmental diplomacy. I look forward to welcoming the Undersecretary back to Kenya, where he will always have a home.

Four decades ago I travelled to the Solomon Islands: an experience that deepened my appreciation of the importance of #coral ecosystems and their benefits to communities.

Coral reef degradation not only endangers marine biodiversity but also jeopardizes the livelihoods of millions who depend on reef-related resources. A new article by Dr. Susan Gardner, Director of the Ecosystems Division at the UN Environment Programme (@UNEP), emphasizes the urgent need for a reef-positive economic transition, advocating for sustainable practices that align economic development with coral conservation. It highlights initiatives like the Global Fund for Coral Reefs which mobilizes investments to protect and restore these vital ecosystems, underscoring the critical role of international cooperation and innovative financing in ensuring the resilience of coral reefs against escalating climate change impacts. 🔗 Read the full article here: openaccessgovernment.org/the-worlds-lar… #ForCoral #GFCR #CoralReefs #ImpactInvestment #BlueEconomy #Conservation

As #UNCCDCOP16 begins in Riyadh, we have a opportunity to shape a sustainable future for people, land and ecosystems. With 2030 fast approaching, UNEP stands ready to support Member States in turning them into action. #UNited4Land @Cop16Riyadh
Ibrahim Thiaw@ibrahimthiaw

Today, we kick off two weeks of crucial discussions that could shape the future of our planet @Cop16Riyadh. Thank you, to the Kingdom of #SaudiArabia 🇸🇦 for its incredible hospitality and resilience in hosting this event. Land degradation threatens our planet and our livelihoods. 💡 The solution? Land restoration! 🌱 By restoring degraded land, we combat climate change, ensure food security and build resilience to drought. 🤝 It's time for all of us to act - governments, businesses, civil society, and YOU!

Back in Nairobi, reflecting on COP16’s outcomes: the progress we made in Cali is real and meaningful. As 2030 approaches, we cannot afford to slow down. Only when we make peace with nature can we build lasting peace for humans. cbd.int/article/agreem… #COP16Colombia #KMGBF

Nature doesn’t just provide us with food, water, and clean air—it’s part of who we are. Let’s learn from indigenous peoples, who remind us that humanity is part of nature, not above it. Our health depends on the health of the planet. #COP16Colombia #KMGBF

@UNEP_Europe @UNEP @CITES @EU_ENV @florikafink @WCSBrussels @HU24EU An inspiring day celebrating the 50th anniversary of CITES and the EU's 40 years of unwavering support. It's remarkable to see how CITES has thrived over these five decades—protecting over 40,000 species and demonstrating that multilateral cooperation works.
