Hearing from the climate community during my recent visit to Jamaica, I’m keen to ensure that both adaptation and mitigation become top priorities for decision-makers. We know that the islands of the Caribbean are often bearing the brunt of the consequences of #climatechange .

#JustTransition principles don't just apply to coal and energy but can be applied to agricultural production and food systems. We need to consider how to better include justice and equity (issues) into global, regional and local scenarios in AR7.

The science is clear: reducing future risks of involuntary migration and displacement due to climate change is possible through cooperative, international efforts to enhance institutional adaptive capacity and sustainable development. #WorldRefugeeDay

It was a pleasure to take part in the @TheTimes #TimesEarthSummit today. The science in #IPCC reports is crystal clear: Ambitious and determined #climateaction during this decade is critical. Halving emissions by 2030 can avoid the worst impacts of #climatechange .

Speaking at a #COP28 event on international cooperation & realities of a just transition. @IPCC_CH reports started to open up this critical agenda. We need to work hard at it to make sure we transition to a just world.
