As we close this historic 16th Session of the Conference of the Parties to the @UNCCD, I am filled with immense gratitude. Together, we’ve set a new standard for ambition and collaboration.
From the arid landscapes of my childhood to this moment, my journey has been guided by one conviction: land restoration is key to our collective future. The resilience I witnessed growing up fuels my hope for what we can achieve together.
#COP16Riyadh has been the largest, most inclusive, and most complex conference in the 30-year history of @UNCCD. The beautiful and efficient facilities here in Riyadh reflect the extraordinary commitment of our hosts, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Thank you!

Land Day at #COP16Riyadh opened with a panel on synergies among the Rio Conventions. We agreed that artificial silos often conceal a seminal fact: action on land, biodiversity, climate, water and ocean is part of the same continuum and must be pursued as such.

Curtains as suits. Tablecloths as trousers. Jeans as vests.
On #BlackFriday, #CyberMonday—and all year—put an end to overconsumption. Upcycled fashion & circular solutions can reduce pollutions, but buying only what’s needed can help limit waste.

As negotiators gather to reach an agreement on a landmark treaty to end plastic pollution, they must ensure it is ambitious, credible and just.

With increasingly severe impacts, the climate crisis is already hitting food production and supply chains hard & causing inflation.
The most vulnerable populations are affected the most.
Another reason why national climate plans must cover all sectors of the economy.

The urgency of plastic pollution is clear - from plastic-filled fish to rising production costs. Proud to partner with @andersen_inger, @pradeep0872 & @mathurfilipp at #COP29 to launch a new blended finance facility. Private sector solutions are essential to #BeatPlasticPollution. Time for action. #INC5 #COP29 @COP29_AZ #INC5 @UNCDF @UNEP

I am asking #G20 leaders to impress on their Ministers and negotiators in Baku to agree on a new ambitious climate finance goal.
Failure is not an option.
The agreement is essential to incentivize the preparation of high ambition national climate plans next year.

G20 Summit must signal climate action is core business.
Climate finance is mission critical, to halve global emissions by 2030 + boost resilience.
Benefits are huge: more jobs & affordable energy, less inflation & pollution.
#COP29 is watching.
