We have the power to transform lives and futures, and end AIDS once and for all.

Despite progress, millions still lack access to HIV prevention and treatment services because of who they are, where they live or the stigma they endure.

We must empower communities, invest in prevention and expanding access to treatment for all people.

Ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 is within grasp.

Let's get the job done.

antonioguterres We need peace in Gaza:

By upholding the ceasefire and fully implementing the commitments of the peace agreement.

And by establishing a credible political path towards ending the occupation and leading to a two-state solution that enables Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace and security. 🌎🇺🇳✍️

An agreement has been reached at , delivering progress and showing that multilateralism works.

I thank President , COP 30 President André do Lago and his team, the Government of Brazil, the people of Belém, and the Secretariat for their hospitality and tireless efforts to make this conference possible.

But COPs are consensus-based – and in a period of geopolitical divides, consensus is ever harder to reach.

I cannot pretend that COP30 has delivered everything that is needed.

COP30 is over, but our work is not.

I will continue pushing for higher ambition and greater solidarity.

To all those who marched, negotiated, advised, reported and mobilised: do not give up.

- History is on your side – and so is the
United Nations . 🇺🇳 ✍️🌎

We are down to the wire at the Climate Conference, and the world is watching what is happening here in Belém.

Communities on the frontlines are watching too, asking: how much more must we suffer?

They have heard enough excuses. They demand results.

I strongly appeal to all delegations to show willingness and flexibility to deliver results that protect people and keep 1.5°C alive.

A fair outcome - concrete on funding adaptation, credible on emission cuts, bankable on finance.

That demands compromise, common ground and courage.

This is the hour for leadership.

I urge ministers and negotiators to be bold, follow the science, and put people above profit.✍️🇺🇳🌎

Our forests and oceans are essential for climate stability, biodiversity and the survival of millions.

But we continue to destroy and degrade them.

Vital forests stretch beyond the tropics, across boreal and temperate regions. They store carbon and regulate rainfall, shielding us from floods, droughts, and deadly heat.

Our oceans absorb a quarter of human CO2 emissions and most of the excess heat trapped in our atmosphere. They cool the planet, underpin food security, livelihoods, and coastal protection.

Yet they are warming, acidifying, and rising – threatening lives, economies, and the very existence of entire communities.

Protecting forests and oceans is not charity. It is a legal and moral responsibility.

Let us honour that duty: By safeguarding these foundations of life; Investing in nature's recovery; And ensuring that people and planet thrive together - now and for generations to come. ✍️🇺🇳🌎

Clean energy is winning on price, performance, and potential.

And yet, fossil fuels still command vast subsidies taxpayers' money – and political support.

Spending billions on lobbying, deceiving the public, and obstructing progress.

This is not just short-sighted.

It is self-destructive.

A bet in fossil fuels is a bet against humanity and against economies.

World Cities Day celebrates local and national governments working with residents - including women, youth, older people and people with disabilities - as co- creators of a more sustainable urban future.

In our increasingly digital world, technology is reshaping urban life. Digital tools can improve basic services, strengthen resilience, and create greener spaces for all.

But innovation must close gaps – not widen them.

Right now, the global housing crisis and the growth of informal settlements are leaving billions without adequate housing. A truly smart city puts people first - especially the most vulnerable.

Cities are engines of opportunity. When we place people at the centre, digital innovation can help drive fairness and sustainability for all.

Cities are now becoming digital spaces.

Let us ensure they are also inclusive, green and just.

✨Media professionals around the globe face mounting perils in their pursuit of truth -including verbal abuse, legal threats, physical attacks, imprisonment, torture and some are even killed.

On this International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists, we demand justice.

Worldwide, nearly 9 out of 10 journalist killings remain unresolved. Gaza has been the deadliest place for journalists in any conflict.

- Impunity anywhere is not only an injustice to the victims and their families – it is an assault on press freedom, an invitation to further violence, and a threat to democracy itself. Governments must ensure journalists can do their jobs freely everywhere.

When journalists are silenced, we all lose our voice.

Let us stand together to defend press freedom, demand accountability, and ensure those who speak truth to power can do so without fear. ✍️🌎🇺🇳

Global warming is pushing our planet to the brink.

Every one of the last ten years has been the hottest in history.

Ocean heat is breaking records while decimating ecosystems.

And no country is safe from fires, floods, storms and heatwaves.

As always, the poorest and most vulnerable countries pay the highest price.

We need to address the problem of climate disasters at their source: a rapidly heating planet.

At this year's Climate Conference in Brazil, countries must deliver bold new national climate action plans to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

For 80 years, the UN Security Council has shaped the and the course of history.

The Council is a vital necessity and a powerful force for good. But its legitimacy is also fragile.

When one nation flouts the rules, others think they have licence to do the same. This not only stalls action; it erodes trust in the entire United Nations. History tells us, with brutal clarity, where that road leads.

Reform of the Security Council is imperative, and long overdue – including expanding the membership.

Africa has no permanent voice. Latin America and the Caribbean are underrepresented, while the Asia-Pacific region - home to more than half of humanity - holds only one permanent seat.

Expanding the membership is not only about justice. It has the potential to undo deadlocks, and offer stability in our increasingly multipolar world.

Without a Security Council fit for purpose, the world is in grave danger. Let's meet the challenges of the next 80 years and deliver justice and safety for all.
