  13. We are sleepwalking to climate catastrophe. Our planet has already warmed by as much as 1.2 degrees – and we see the devastating consequences everywhere. We need a 45% reduction in global emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by mid-century to keep our climate goals alive.

  20. There is no military solution to the war in Yemen. Yet we see a multiplication of frontlines, increasing numbers of civilian casualties, and instability radiating across the entire region. Allowing the conflict to continue is a choice. So is ending it. We must choose peace.
