In 2025, over 326 humanitarians killed. Over 1,010 in three years.
My challenge to the Security Council: if we fail to defend humanitarians, the integrity of the Council dies with our colleagues.

We need to step back.

The #COP26 outcome is a compromise, reflecting the interests, contradictions & state of political will in the world today.
It's an important step, but it's not enough.
It's time to go into emergency mode.
The climate battle is the fight of our lives & that fight must be won.

What could possibly be wrong with such headlines?
