The climate challenges we face are great, but our capacity is greater. The global leaders of the COP27 must reach out and take the future in our hands to make the world we wish to see and that we know we need – and preserve our planet for generations yet to come.

I’m proud to sign the Kigali Amendment – a historic, bipartisan win for American manufacturing and global climate action. My Administration is phasing down super-polluting chemicals so the U.S. can lead the clean technology markets of the future and unlock thousands of new jobs.

President @JoeBiden's new climate law is the USA's most important show of solidarity to the Pacific since its re-entry to the Paris Agreement. While we still seek even greater ambition from the world's largest economy and historic emitter, Fiji welcomes this win for the planet.

From day one, the United States has made clear that our climate engagement with the PRC should remain separate from the other tough issues our two countries face. (1/6)

We believe every person should enjoy the benefits of a healthy environment. To this end, we supported today's UNGA resolution expressing the aspirations of those around the world seeking a clean and healthy environment for all.

I welcome the adoption of the #UNGA resolution recognising the human right to a healthy environment – an important tool for accountability and climate justice. The well-being of people around the world and the survival of future generations depends on the health of our planet.

.@SecBlinken: Climate is not about ideology. It’s about math. There’s simply no way to solve climate change without China’s leadership, the country that produces 28 percent of global emissions.

This morning’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change @IPCC_CH report makes it clear: the tools to stave off the worst impacts of the climate crisis are within our grasp. There is reason for hope and nations of the world must be bold enough to take advantage of them.

Pleased to join this discussion and grateful for the leadership of @USAmbNATO and the entire @USNATO team in working with our allies and @jensstoltenberg to ensure the Alliance is doing all it can to minimize climate-related threats.

“No one nation can tackle climate change alone. It is the most significant collective problem we have faced as a global community,” said @ClimateEnvoy John Kerry emphasizing that @NATO leads the way on how int'l orgs must focus on the security aspects of the climate crisis.

As one of the largest electricity users in the US, @DeptofDefense can lead the way in transitioning to carbon-free electricity. It’s not just critical to addressing #climate change, but also nat'l security as we work to secure US competitiveness in global energy markets. @USGSA


A NATO nerd, a whip-smart, experienced leader, and a genuinely good human. The U.S. is extremely fortunate to have a @USAmbNATO like Julie Smith at such a critical time.

We are seeing proof every day that climate change is not a challenge for the future but a crisis we must confront today. Losing part of the Antarctic ice shelf is the first stage of a cascade of melting that would harm millions of people worldwide.  washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…


It was the second most co-sponsored UNSC resolution ever. Disappointing outcome today - but also clear this debate is far from over. Vast majority of members are committed to ensuring the security implications of climate are well understood and factored into the work of the UNSC

One bit of good news re: today's UNSC #ClimateSecurity resolution? At least 113 non-UNSC members cosponsored the resolution, and there's a lot to be done with their support in the GA to advance concrete climate security action. More here 👇👇
