"A world in climate chaos cannot be a world at peace.

Climate change is a threat multiplier – inflaming tensions over land, water and food, forcing people from their homes, and tearing at the ecosystems we all depend on.

It is also a profound injustice that those least responsible are paying first and worst."

In his annual priorities speech to the General Assembly in New York United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres reminded us of the urgency of the climate crisis.

And what needs to happen now:

"Delivering beyond national climate plans to cut emissions now – and to keep cutting.

Accelerating a just, orderly and equitable transition away from fossil fuels to renewables.

Doubling energy efficiency by 2030; building grids and storage to connect clean power to all; cutting methane; and halting deforestation.

Making good on promises for adaptation and for loss and damage.

And ensuring affordable, predictable finance that reaches those who need it, when they need it.

Climate justice is an investment in peace and security, because vulnerability anywhere becomes a risk everywhere – rippling through financial systems, supply chains and global stability."

2025 is the third hottest year on record.

The climate crisis is not a future problem. It's a now crisis.

Global cooperation under the Paris Agreement has started to bend the curve of planet-heating emissions. Adaptation solutions are emerging to build more climate-resilient communities, economies and global supply chains.

But the gap between current action and what science demands remains too wide, with human and economic consequences that get worse every year.

As UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell said: "Let's roll up our sleeves in 2026 and pick up the pace."

When the world works together on climate action, we can achieve real progress.

But to tackle the climate crisis, we need more, and faster. At COP30 in Brazil, 194 countries representing billions of people reaffirmed their commitment to the Paris Agreement and resolved to make it go further and faster.

Here is a refresher on what the Paris Agreement is and what makes it so special. 💡

The UNFCCC is the foundation of global climate cooperation. 🌍

It's the treaty behind the Paris Agreement and international climate action efforts.

It was created so countries could act together to protect people and the planet.

Resilience is what enables people and nature to bounce back from crises: the forest that regrows after fire, the coral reef that resists bleaching, the harvest that survives drought, and the solidarity among countries.

2025 showed us one thing: collective decisive action is our only way forward to tackle the climate crisis.

In the words of UN Secretary-General : 

“In 2026, I call on leaders everywhere: Get serious. Choose people and planet.

Our future depends on our collective courage to act.”
