As 2026 #WorldEnvironmentDay hosts, @unep.org deeply appreciates Azerbaijan's commitment to bringing the world together to act #NowForClimate.
The planet is sending us signals.
Heatwaves. Droughts. Floods. Desertification. Dust & sandstorms.
But this does not need to be a story of despair.
#WorldEnvironmentDay reminds us we have solutions. Our future is not yet written.
Together we can act #NowForClimate.

Heartbroken to share my dear friend, colleague and former director of @unep.org Climate Copenhagen Centre, John Christensen, has passed away.
John was a true climate warrior who understood how science can inform policy & protect the planet. We will miss him deeply.
