I was deeply moved by my meeting with coastal communities in Samoa forced to move their homes inland.
Sea levels are rising at a rate not seen in at least 3,000 years.
If we don’t reverse these climate change trends, we will see this tragedy in other coastal areas globally.

People & communities around the world face violence based on religion or beliefs.
We must urgently combat this scourge, work together to stem the tide of hatred & promote tolerance & respect.
Let's create a world where everyone can live free from fear, stigma & persecution.

2023 was the deadliest year on record for humanitarians.
Honouring them on

is not enough.
In Gaza, in Sudan & many other places, aid workers are attacked, killed, injured & abducted.
We demand an end to impunity so that perpetrators face justice.

My message to young people worldwide:
Do not accept that what we have today is inevitable.
Do not accept that you cannot transform things.
If we want to change the world, we need to unite, mobilize, and fight for a better future for all.
