Highlights: Nigeria Olympics New Start Treaty Security Council Human Rights Office Ukraine Occupied Palestinian Territory Democratic Republic of the Congo Democratic Republic of the Congo/Peacekeeping Central African Republic Chad Peace-building Fund Burkina Faso Costa Rica Honour Roll ----------------------- NIGERIA The Secretary-General strongly condemns the terrorist attack of 3 February, in Kwara State, in Nigeria, which reportedly killed over 100 people. The Secretary-General conveys his heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and to the people and Government of Nigeria, and of course, he wishes a speedy recovery to all those injured. The Secretary-General reiterates the solidarity of the United Nations with the Government and people of Nigeria in their efforts to fight terrorism and violent extremism. He stresses the importance of bringing the perpetrators to justice. OLYMPICS The Secretary-General is arriving in Milan in a few hours, where he will attend the Opening Ceremony of the Winter Olympics that will take place on Friday. While there, he will meet with the new President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Kirsty Coventry. the Secretary-General will deliver a video message for the Opening Ceremony, and he will underscore that the Olympics and the Paralympics are a beacon of hope, as well as a celebration of human potential, of teamwork, fair play and mutual respect. Maryam Bukar Hassan of Nigeria, who was named the first Global Advocate for Peace for the UN’s Peace & Security Pillar, will also be present at the Olympics. Along with other global influencers, she will be serving as an official Olympic Flag Bearer at the opening ceremony. She was selected by the IOC for her ongoing commitment to gender equality, youth empowerment, and inclusive peace. NEW START TREATY In a statement issued yesterday evening, the Secretary-General said that the expiration of the New START Treaty marks a grave moment for international peace and security. For the first time in more than half a century, we face a world without any binding limits on the strategic nuclear arsenals of both the Russian Federation and the United States. The Secretary-General said that this dissolution of decades of achievement could not come at a worse time, as the risk of a nuclear weapon being used is the highest it has been in decades. Even in this moment of uncertainty, however, we must search for hope, he said. This is an opportunity to reset and create an arms control regime fit for a rapidly evolving context. He welcomes that the Presidents of both the Russian Federation and the United States have made clear that they appreciate the destabilizing impact of a nuclear arms race and the need to prevent the return to a world of unchecked nuclear proliferation. Mr. Guterres urges both States to return to the negotiating table without delay and to agree upon a successor framework that restores verifiable limits, reduces risks, and strengthens our common security.

Artificial Intelligence - Press Conference | United Nations
UN Secretary-General António Guterres submitted for the consideration of the General Assembly a list of “40 distinguished individuals from every region” to serve on the new Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence. Addressing the press, on the Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said, “The Panel is a direct response to the mandate given by Member States in the Pact for the Future to strengthen multilateral solutions for emerging technologies that are reshaping every aspect of our lives.” He highlighted, “It will be the first global, fully independent scientific body dedicated to helping close the AI knowledge gap and assess the real impacts of AI across economies and societies. And this could not be more urgent. AI is moving at the speed of light. No country can see the full picture alone”” He then recognized the office for Digital and Emerging Technologies, the International Telecommunication Union, and UNESCO “for their vital support of this initiative. The three organizations will provide the members to the Secretariat of the panel, and the Secretariat of the panel will be coordinated by my Special Envoy, Amandeep Gill.” Answering a question, he said, “One of the most important things is exactly to have a scientific entity that is independent, that is reliable, that doesn't serve the interest of any country, able to say exactly what is the state of the art of the applications of AI. And obviously one of the major concerns we have is about the weaponization of AI, and I hope that this panel will be a very important instrument to clarify what exactly is happening.”

Agrihoods Explained: Rethinking How We Build Communities | United Nations
Urban planners in Brazil are at the forefront of a bold design revolution that could redefine how cities tackle climate change. One of the most promising ideas is the “agrihood” — a residential community built around a working farm, blending sustainable food production with low-carbon urban living. As cities expand and emissions rise, agrihoods offer a powerful alternative to traditional development by reducing carbon footprints, strengthening local food systems, and reconnecting people with nature. This innovation comes at a critical moment. According to the UN Environment Programme’s (UNEP) latest State of Finance for Nature report, global investments that damage the planet outweigh nature-positive solutions by 30 to 1. Despite their potential, climate-friendly models like agrihoods remain vastly underfunded. Could Brazil’s urban experiments point the way toward a more sustainable future for cities worldwide?
