Excited to take up my new role as @UNFCCC Executive Secretary in Bonn, Germany.  With a fully operational #ParisAgreement, this is the decisive decade to avoid the worst climate impacts. The task ahead is clear: We need to turn promises into actions & keep the 1.5C goal alive.

Tomorrow, during the opening of #COP27, I will send a clear signal to world leaders: The urgency of the #ClimateCrisis demands that we do things differently. Let us use COP27 to find common ground, so that we can reflect this urgency in our actions.

As @UNFCCC, we will be holding people to account – be they Presidents, Prime Ministers or CEOs. Our policies, our businesses, our infrastructure, our actions, must all align with the #ParisAgreement. My signal of change today at the opening of #COP27.

COP27 is our chance to regain momentum on #ClimateChange. At today’s opening of #ClimateWeekNYC, I outlined what we must achieve (1/5)👇

It’s an honour to join the ranks of @UNFCCC staff. In the #ClimateEmergency, we are the voices of the voiceless. Together we have much to achieve.

Nature & climate are two sides of the same coin. We can't solve one without the other. This is why today is a historic day. After decades of ecosystem destruction and plummeting biodiversity, the agreement reached at #COP15 provides the framework to halt & reverse these trends.

Transparency is a crucial enabling #climateaction tool for countries to: ➡ take informed decisions ➡ craft stronger climate policies ➡ attract vital climate finance I welcome the launch of the Baku Global Climate Transparency Platform by the incoming @COP29_AZ Presidency.

The upcoming #COP29 climate conference must be an enabling COP: Delivering concrete outcomes to start translating the climate pledges made by countries in last year's #COP28 UAE Consensus into real-world, real-economy results. It’s time to get the job done. #preCOP29

Every single leader traveling to #UNGA arrives from a country affected by climate impacts. We know it’s time to change course. Let’s stop the backsliding, regain momentum on #ClimateChange & get moving on the massive transformation that must happen this decade. #COP27

#ClimateChange is the defining crisis of our time. 2022, saw a world distracted from making progress. #COP27 will refocus and regain momentum. My message talking to media in Sharm el-Sheikh today.

As week 2 of #COP27 begins, let me remind negotiators that people & planet are relying on this process to deliver. Leaders asked for action. Let’s use our remaining time in Egypt to build the bridges needed to make progress on 1.5, adaptation, finance and loss & damage.

#COP27 has defined a way forward on a decades-long conversation on funding for addressing loss and damage. Let’s use this success as a springboard to restore trust in our process. Let’s use it to achieve greater ambition and faster implementation.

To address the global threat of #ClimateChange, we need a transformation of our financial system. Getting money into climate vulnerable regions more effectively, and without burying them in debt, protects us all. My message at #MSC2023 today.

It's simply not good enough for us to be "trying to try". Accelerate climate action. #COP28
