Annual renewable capacity additions have increased notably over the past 25 years, reaching an unprecedented peak of 693 GW in 2025. This positive trend in installed capacity confirms that renewable deployment continues to outpace fossil-fuel growth. 👉bit.ly/4fxA0ci

Sand and dust storms are natural phenomena, but they are growing increasingly frequent and severe. This #SDSDay, here is everything you need to know about sand and dust storms, and how humanity can rein in their destructive impact: unep.org/news-and-stori…

Climate change is already affecting our lives... and ⚽️ is no exception. 14 of 16 #WorldCup2026 host stadiums already face multiple major climate hazards, including extreme heat, heavy rainfall and flooding. The good news? The solutions already exist 👇

US cities hosting #WorldCup matches are twice as likely to see extreme heat & storms than in 1994, and we’re seeing that play out. That’s climate change - driven by burning massive amounts of coal, oil and gas. The solutions already exist: clean energy and building resilience.

Across all stages of the #EarlyWarnings value cycle, AI is reshaping how we protect lives. New @ITU report shows how AI can strengthen early warning systems through strong infrastructure, partnerships, and a human-centered, responsible approach. itu.int/en/ITU-D/Emerg…

The annual #SDGReport makes two things unmistakably clear: the Sustainable Development Goals work. They are delivering for people — but not fast enough, not evenly and not without setbacks.   They are still within reach, but only if we act with greater urgency, solidarity and political will. The next four years are our opportunity to accelerate progress and deliver on the promise of the SDGs.  unstats.un.org/sdgs/report/20…

Ocean waters in the South-West Pacific are becoming hotter and more acidic, harming economies & marine ecosystems. Sea level rise is threatening coastal communities & low-lying island nations. Read the WMO #StateOfClimate in the South-West Pacific 2025. 🆕 bit.ly/SWPacificSOTC2…

New @IRENA report: Over 90% of the utility-scale renewable capacity added in 2025 was cheaper than the lowest-cost new fossil alternative. In total, installed renewables helped avoid an estimated USD 480 billion in fossil-fuel costs in 2025. ➡️irena.org/Publications/2…

🌍 The 7th Global Conference on Climate & SDG Synergies has kicked off in Bangkok! We're tackling climate challenges and highlighting co-benefits for the #SDGs. Catch all the livestreams and action: youtube.com/playlist?list=… More: un.org/en/climate-sdg… @UNESCAP

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. More: bit.ly/4wqgG6D

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.

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. un.org/sg/en/content/…

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 Show your stripes to start a conversation in your community 👉 showyourstripes.info

#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. bit.ly/4fQr4PU

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. bit.ly/4dUfe5U

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.
