Never give up: When dust gathers on the windscreen of a car in motion, the driver does not stop, he (she) just uses the wiper blades at faster speed with soapy water. Keep on driving towards your goal. Clear the dust, never stop and never give up!
Great visiting with USAID Administrator Samantha Power in Washington. We signed an MOU between @USAID and @AfDB_Group to finance women fund managers in Africa to support women on climate change solutions. @PowerUSAID @POTUS @SecYellen
Celebrating excellent partnership between @AfDB_Group and @USAID. We will do more together on energy, food security, transport, agriSME debt and equity finance, and support to women-led businesses. Thank you @PowerUSAID @SecYellen @POTUS
Our planet is at a tipping point with global warming, massive biodiversity loss, and severe pollution and waste. But Monday’s Mother #EarthDay is a reminder that individual actions matter. Here are 5 ways to take action.
Countries urgently need to build stronger, more integrated #HealthSystems resilient to acute health shocks – including climate change and pandemics. High-impact interventions could save millions of lives. Learn more: wrld.bg/hS8I50RaCNG #InvestInPeople #InvestInHealth
INFOGRAPHIC >> What are #CarbonCredits, and how can they be generated? wrld.bg/K0zJ50Rk4cP #LivablePlanet
Where did your food come from today? 🍏🥗🥪 Enough food is produced to feed everyone on the planet. Yet millions are facing hunger due to conflicts, climate extremes and rising costs. When #FoodSystems are robust, people can feed themselves – even amid crisis.
I salute young people around the world for standing up, speaking out and working for real change. We need you. I am fully committed to bringing young people into political decision-making; not just listening to your views, but acting on them.
Poverty is not an inevitability. We aim to eradicate poverty and restore hope by 2030. Unlock sustainable solutions to achieve #Goal1 of the #GlobalGoals: globalgoals.org/goals/1-no-pov…

"Every generation serves as caretaker of this world. Let’s be honest: mine has been careless with that responsibility. But yours gives me hope. The United Nations stands with you." -- @antonioguterres joins young people at the @UNECOSOC Youth Forum. news.un.org/en/story/2024/…
Higher temperatures are making it harder to produce food. And for vulnerable rural communities, failed harvest seasons can mean meagre earnings and empty plates. If we don't support them and #ActOnClimate today, we let hunger win.
@IFAD Very sad to hear about this, but luckily, we have all the information needed to prevent such a drought from happening. Provided, of course, that host country governments, donors, and private sector partners including finance service providers and local communities are willing.
It’s simple: drought is a precursor of hunger. #ClimateChange should no longer ravage the land on which so many grow food for their communities and nations.
Only 6 years left before the 2030 deadline for achieving zero hunger in West Africa (SDG2). So, the legitimate question is whether this is still possible. Admittedly, at first, this may seem impossible, but I believe there is a way. I developed a plan you can consult.
Ensuring no one is left behind is at the 💙 of what we do. Let’s deliver on the promise of the #GlobalGoals and reduce inequality within and among countries. Learn more on why the #SDGs matter: go.undp.org/SDGs
« Nous avons la responsabilité commune d’œuvrer pour la paix », a déclaré @antonioguterres dimanche au Conseil de sécurité lors d’une session d’urgence sur la situation au Moyen-Orient. « Ni la région ni le monde ne peuvent se permettre une autre guerre ».
