I am deeply humbled to serve a second term as UN Deputy Secretary-General alongside @antonioguterres . I begin this new term as a proud Nigerian woman with renewed hope in human solidarity and determination to keep the promise of the #SDGs. We will leave no one behind.

The climate crisis affects us all, but its impacts often fall most heavily on women & girls. As we devise strategies for #ClimateAction & environmental preservation, we need more women decision-makers at the table. unfpa.org/news/five-ways…

Our fragile planet is hanging by a thread. Every fraction of a degree warming matters. We need maximum ambition – from all countries on all fronts – to keep the 1.5 degree warming goal of the #ParisAgreeement alive. It's time to go into emergency mode.

As we bid farewell to 2021, we thank you for all your support and your interest in our work to help societies avert conflict and build sustainable peace. We wish you a peaceful, happy, safe and healthy 2022.

As we look to 2022 and the challenges and opportunities that await us, we look back at some of the events that marked the year for DPPA, in this special issue of Politically Speaking: dppa.medium.com/the-work-of-pe…

I am deeply honoured to serve as the Secretary-General of the United Nations for a second term, starting today. Working for the @UN and the people of the world in an immense privilege. I will continue to serve with humility, in the spirit of building trust and inspiring hope.

As the sun sets on 2021, here’s to a better 2022 with greater global determination to end the #COVID19 pandemic, reduce poverty, inequalities & marginalisation, take action on #climate & biodiversity crises, & bring raging conflicts destroying lives & hopes to an end. #HNY2022 🎈

Violence against women & girls is a global emergency that requires urgent action at all levels, in all spaces & by all people. As we mark #HumanRightsDay, @UN_Women shares 10 ways we can all make a difference & eradicate gender-based violence for good. un-women.medium.com/take-action-10…

The @UN stands for the rights of every member of our human family. On #HumanRightsDay and every day, we will continue to work for justice, equality, dignity and human rights for all.

We have concluded the 55th round of Geneva International Discussions @UNDPPA @ToivoKlaar @annika_soder

.@csultanoglu: We continue to advocate for positive measures for women’s participation in the GID. Together w/ @UNDPPA we are currently working on a gendered analysis of the conflict aimed at supporting inclusive peacemaking in the GID context. #GenderEquality 📸OSCE/M.Kroell /3

We thank Co-Chairs of the Geneva Int'l Discussions @annika_soder, @ToivoKlaar, & @csultanoglu for briefing the Perm. Council today. Contributing to #ConflictResolution in the @OSCE area based on our common principles & commitments tops our agenda. #OSCE2021SWE 📸OSCE/M.Kroell /1

76 years ago, the United Nations was created as a vehicle of hope for a world emerging from the shadow of catastrophic conflict. Today, the women & men of the @UN carry this hope forward around the globe. We will never give up making this world better for everyone, everywhere.

My @UN colleagues work around the world and around the clock for a safer, healthier and more just world for everyone. I'm enormously proud to work alongside them - on #UNDay and every day.

An honour to be elected as a President of @ChathamHouse & to serve in that capacity alongside Baroness Eliza Manningham-Buller and Lord Darling. #ChathamHouse is a trusted & independent voice on global issues & I am delighted to support it. @CHGlobalHealth chathamhouse.org/2021/07/helen-…

My sincere thanks to our partners for reaffirming their invaluable support for our efforts at today’s DPPA donors’ meeting. The return on investment of prevention is indisputable in dollar terms. It is even more compelling when we consider the human cost of conflict.

Official #SOU2021 press release. 10th anniversary of The State of the Union Conference, 6-8 May 2021 eui.eu/news-hub?id=vo… @EUI_EU

26 April was the 35th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear accident. #UN has been working w/governments, international partners, academics, civil society & others to mitigate its humanitarian consequences supporting recovery, social and economic development. Much to learn.

#COVID19 is a tragic reminder of how deeply connected we are - for better or for worse. As we mark the International Day of Multilateralism & Diplomacy for Peace, let’s renew our commitment to joint solutions, starting with the equitable distribution of vaccines.

On this Day of #Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace, let’s renew our commitment. It’s more important than ever! Thanks to @Yusra_Suedi and @AngusEMWallace @unige_en for a lively discussion @UNGeneva. ungeneva.org/en/events/mult…
