Meet Henry Meza, a lieutenant with the @UNDSS K9 Unit at @UN Headquarters. Before sunrise, before world leaders arrive, he and his #K9 team are already at work. During #UNGA, the dogs put in long hours too. Henry takes us behind the scenes of life with the UNDSS K9 team.

Our human magnificence is not simply that we built AI. It is whether we are wise enough to decide how to use it. Whatever AI becomes, the measure of progress must still be what it makes possible for humankind and our planet. Amidst #UNGA, we brought our AI & Human Development journey and harvest to New York. Tomorrow, we take it back across the world to seed the outcomes so we keep the promise of the SDGs.

I have less than 100 days left in office as @UN Secretary-General & I will carry a spirit of resolve & determination through each of them. But commitment to UN values is greater than any office & endures beyond any title. So even when I am no longer Secretary-General, be sure of this: I'll keep championing the conviction that peace is possible, human dignity is universal, the power of law must prevail over the law of power & our common future is worth fighting for. I will never, ever give up.

Lost lives, injuries, disabilities, psychological wounds - some things are irreversible. Explosive weapons are the leading cause of child casualties in conflict. We’re calling on governments to protect children, now. #UNGA

The war in Sudan is devastating lives. People are fleeing horrific violence. Families are being torn apart. UNHCR's @mamadou_dbalde met refugees arriving in Chad carrying the trauma of what they have endured in search of safety. Refugees must be protected.

The world is crying out for climate justice – in mitigation, in adaptation, in finance. We must answer that call with action. And we don’t have a moment to lose. At #UNGA, I asked leaders to over-deliver on #ClimateAction to avert a climate catastrophe. un.org/sg/en/content/sg/stat…

A language lives when it is spoken. It grows when it is also taught, written, created and shared. On #SoninkeLanguageDay, @UNESCO highlights how new ways of learning, writing and creating in Soninke can help the language continue to thrive and be transmitted to future generations.
