Years of deforestation have severely impacted Comoros, leading to drying rivers and eroded soils. A @unep.org and @thegef.bsky.social restoration project is reversing this trend by improving water access, farmland productivity & community resilience to climate change. www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Thanks to @unepozone.bsky.social, 99% of ozone-depleting substances have been phased out - many of which are powerful greenhouse gases. If we curb these pollutants and shield carbon sinks from UV damage, we could prevent up to 1°C of warming by 2100 to support the #ParisAgreement: ow.ly/Ht1c50Zjc6p

Climate change is making floods, heatwaves & storms more dangerous.   Early warning systems are critical to help predict risks and alert people in time to save lives, homes and livelihoods.   @unep.org explains more about this cost-effective, disaster reducing approach: www.unep.org/topics/clima...

No company can go circular alone.   Change in textiles happens when designers, buyers and suppliers team up to rethink the entire value chain.   @unep.org's InTex programme is helping build those bridges and transform the textile industry so together, we can #BeatPollution: bit.ly/47m45q2

🚨Good news!🚨 The world has reached a major milestone for nature at sea. Data from @unepwcmc.bsky.social shows that 10% of the ocean is now officially within protected and conserved areas - a vital step toward @unbiodiversity.bsky.social #KMGBF goals. Learn more: www.unep-wcmc.org/en/news/worl...

More than 30 satellites track methane emissions from space. AI is helping turn that data into #ClimateAction. A new UNEP report shows AI is accelerating methane mitigation, with a climate benefit comparable to removing the annual emissions of almost 24 million gasoline-powered cars: bit.ly/4f7KIVm

Every $1 the 🌍invests in protecting nature, we spend $30 destroying it. We can either finance nature’s destruction or power its recovery. And why a @unep.org report calls for a major shift in global financing of nature-based solutions & phasing out harmful investments: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

We throw away more than 1 billion tonnes of food every year. But action to address food waste can deliver multiple benefits: ➡️ Real methane cuts ➡️ Stronger food systems & farmer livelihoods ➡️ Increase in food security ➡️ A circular, zero-waste, zero-emissions future www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

The Global Environment Outlook shares a simple choice for humanity. A future devastated by climate change, dwindling nature, degraded land & polluted air. Or we change direction to secure a healthy planet, people & economies. This is no choice at all. More on #GEO7: www.unep.org/interactives...

Rapid methane mitigation is one of the fastest, most effective #ClimateAction solutions to slow near-term warming *and* secure better public health, clean air & economic gains. And why the UN Secretary-General issued a Call to Action on Methane, work @unep.org will lead. www.un.org/en/climatech...

A pleasure to host the Switzerland-UNEP consultations in Nairobi. Very productive discussions on work to #BeatPlasticPollution, #UNEA7 outcomes & the role of science. Deeply appreciate Switzerland’s unwavering support and partnership with @unep.org. Together, we are delivering #ForPeopleForPlanet

Delighted to receive this fantastic artwork from a student in the United States. Art is such a powerful tool to inspire change & highlight the importance of action. Students worldwide, regardless of age, continue to show they are leading the change we want - and need - to see #ForPeopleForPlanet.

Devastating reports of significant loss of life and destruction in Venezuela following yesterdays earthquakes, after recent earthquakes also to hit the Philippines. My deepest condolences during this incredibly difficult time. @unep.org is ready to assesses environmental impacts as needed.

As unprecedented heatwaves grip Europe, the UN SG António Guterres issued a critical #ClimateAction warning this week. @unep.org stands ready to support – including action on methane, sustainable AI & a clean, renewable energy future. More on the SG’s #LCAW2026 speech: www.un.org/en/climatech...

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I share our dear @unep.org colleague, Tessa Goverse, has passed away in Geneva whilst on mission. We are thinking of her husband, family and loved ones during this heartbreaking time. www.linkedin.com/posts/anders...

@unep.org and Germany are long standing partners - working together to address our most pressing environmental issues, including how we #SaveOurOcean. Pleased to welcome @jochenflasbarth.bsky.social, State Secretary for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, to UNEP to discuss.

Zanzibar is at the heart of the Western Indian Ocean, where healthy oceans underpin livelihoods, food security, tourism and resilience to climate change. An honour to meet Dr. Hussein Ali Mwiny, Zanzibar President, at #OurOceanKenya Conference to discuss ocean priorities & how @unep.org can support

Delighted to meet Sakti Wahyu Trenggono, Minister of Marine Affairs & Fisheries of Indonesia, at #OurOceanKenya Conference. Indonesia is investing in a sustainable blue economy to ensure long-term growth while protecting marine ecosystems. @unep.org will continue our work with 🇮🇩 to #SaveOurOcean.

We must recognize, respect and restore rangelands. That is the message this World #DesertificationAndDroughtDay. These vast landscapes cover over half of the Earth's land surface and support around two billion people - yet are too often overlooked. www.unep.org/news-and-sto... @unccd.bsky.social

As the incoming Presidency of #UNEA8, Jamaica is helping drive regional and global environmental progress.   Pleased to discuss plans with Matthew Samuda, Minister of Water, Environment & Climate Change and #UNEA8 President.   @unep.org looks forward to working with 🇯🇲 to deliver #ForPeopleForPlanet.

A pleasure to meet Samson Vilvil, Director-General for Vanuatu's Ministry of Fisheries, Oceans and Maritime Affairs at #OurOceanKenya Conference.   Vanuatu is leading on ocean protection, passing the Ocean Act in 2025 to return coastal water stewardship to traditional leaders and ocean communities.

A strong, sustainable blue economy is central to Namibia's development - with fisheries, marine biodiversity and coastal ecosystems supporting livelihoods & growth. Pleased to discuss priorities with Inge Zaamwani, Namibia's Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform. #OurOceanKenya

Mountains… ⛰️🤎 feed rivers, shape weather, shelter wildlife, sustain communities, inspire cultures, offer refuge, astonish with their beauty. Yet, their importance is too often forgotten, even as they shape life far beyond their peaks.

Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 is leaning in on environmental leadership #ForPeopleForPlanet - driving action nationally, regionally and globally. While at #GEFAssembly2026, delighted to meet Saida Mirziyoyevaa, Head of Administration of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, to discuss our shared priorities.

🇺🇳A stronger UN means a safer, sustainable future for all 🇺🇳 The UN80 Initiative is key to ensure the UN becomes more agile, efficient & effective. The environment must be at the heart of this. Pleased to discuss with Annalena Baerbock, President of the General Assembly, during her visit to Nairobi.

A pleasure to welcome H.E. Juraj Blaná, Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic, to UN headquarters here in Nairobi. A good discussion on the importance of environmental multilateralism, including COP negotiations on land, biodiversity and climate taking place this year.

Heartbroken to share my dear friend, colleague and former director of @unep.org Climate Copenhagen Centre, John Christensen, has passed away. John was a true climate warrior who understood how science can inform policy & protect the planet. We will miss him deeply. www.linkedin.com/posts/anders...

The ocean produces over half the oxygen we breathe, regulates our climate, supports billions of livelihoods & powers much of global trade. 🌊 On #WorldOceanDay the message is clear: ocean health and human wellbeing are inseparable. 🌊 Now is the time to #SaveOurOcean and invest in our shared future.

The Caspian Sea holds ecological, economic & cultural significance to the region and world. Yet the Caspian is at growing risk from climate change impacts, risking long-term security & the livelihoods of millions. Pleased to meet Jeyhun Bayramov, Azerbaijan Minister of Foreign Affairs, to discuss.

A pleasure to meet with Hikmet Hajiyev, Assistant to Azerbaijan's President and Head of Foreign Policy Affairs for the Presidential Administration, in Baku. As 2026 #WorldEnvironmentDay hosts, @unep.org deeply appreciates Azerbaijan's commitment to bringing the world together to act #NowForClimate.
