Today I delivered the Commonwealth statement at the high-level segment of #COP29.

My message: We are custodians of a planet on the brink.

Through finance, innovation and partnerships, we must act with urgency.

Let this be the moment we refuse to fail.

#CommonwealthForClimate

Indigenous Peoples represent just 5% of the global population but protect over 80% of the planet's biodiversity.

At #COP29, we celebrated their essential role as stewards of nature and their leadership in shaping a resilient future for all.

#WithIndigenousPeoples

Delighted to be with young leaders at #COP29 – they remind me of my own journey. They give our #Commonwealth family such hope.

Inspired for our future. Our young people are our leaders of today – our Common Wealth. #CommonwealthForClimate

Great to talk with Hon Pohamba Shifeta, Minister of Environment, Forestry & Tourism, #Namibia 🇳🇦 at #COP29

We discussed drought, also geospatial data & AI to help combat climate change & reminisced about former President Hage Geingob – he was a Colossus! #CommonwealthForClimate
