Central African Republic: Progress, Fragility & Peace Challenges - MINUSCA Briefing | United Nations



UN Special Representative for the Central African Republic Valentine Rugwabiza said that four years down the road, the country has made remarkable and tangible progress towards lasting peace and security, with the instrumental support of MINUSCA. Addressing the Security Council about the Central African Republic, Rugwabiza said, “The progress made with the implementation of the political and peace processes, the effective extension of State authority and presence across the CAR territory, protection of civilians, the preparation and conduct of historic coupled elections of December 2025, is the result of sustained efforts by the Central African authorities and people, with the multidimensional support of MINUSCA. These gains must now be preserved and consolidated.” She also noted, “While the security situation has generally improved across the country over the years, it remains fragile in several border areas. In the northeast, the impact of the conflict in Sudan is of particular concern with renewed armed activity along the border, including cross-border incursions targeting civilians, particularly in the Vakaga Prefecture. In the southeast, the attacks and abductions by the AAKG militia continue to be source of insecurity in the Haut-Mbomou and Mbomou Prefectures.” She stressed, “There is a need for a comprehensive and detailed plan to address critical gaps in the capabilities of the security sector, a plan based on strong national ownership with the support of international partners. This is critical to ensuring that the mandated gradual transfer of MINUSCA security tasks to national defense and security forces will not risk strategic reversal of security achievements.”

Clean Energy Era Is Now: Build Grids, Scale Renewables Fast - UN Chief Remarks | United Nations



Secretary-General António Guterres said, “The age of clean electrification is here. The question is whether we can build the grids and storage, mobilize the investment, and deliver the infrastructure at the speed and scale required.” António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, made the appeal in remarks to the inaugural Global Energy Transition and Electrification Summit, held in London alongside London Climate Action Week. Guterres told the summit the world is facing two interconnected crises: accelerating climate chaos pushing the planet past the 1.5-degree Celsius limit, and the most severe energy upheaval in years, driving up prices and straining economies. Both crises, he said, share one cause - fossil fuels, which still account for around 80 per cent of global energy use. Three-quarters of the world's people live in countries dependent on imported fossil fuels, he added, leaving them reliant on energy “they do not control,” at prices “they cannot predict.” Renewables, however, are now the cheapest, fastest and most scalable source of new electricity in most of the world, the Secretary-General noted. More than 90 per cent of new renewable power projects delivered electricity at a lower cost than fossil fuels last year, he said, and wind and solar are leading all new electricity demand growth worldwide.

Ukraine: Civilian Harm, Infrastructure Strikes & Drone Attacks - Briefing | United Nations



Briefing Council members today in New York, OCHA’s Director of Crisis Response Division, Edem Wosornu, said, “Since we last briefed this Council two weeks ago, civilian harm and suffering have deepened including over this past weekend. More families have been forced to endure the all-too-familiar pattern of this war: attacks, destruction, loss, another night without safety. On June 15th, strikes on Kyiv and Kharkiv damaged homes and critical infrastructure, leaving well over 100,000 households without power.” Edem Wosornu also said, “In Kyiv, the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site at the heart of Ukraine's religious and cultural life, was struck and damaged. This site carries centuries of cultural heritage – history and identity – that must be protected.” She also said, “In Kharkiv, rescuers responding to an earlier strike were themselves hit when a second one followed. This fits a documented pattern. The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine has found repeated strikes on ambulances, rescue teams and aid workers – in some cases as you heard hit twice, as they returned to help. Civilians have also been struck when simply going about daily life: in cars, on buses, in their gardens.” Wosornu added, “The Mission records that more civilians were killed and injured by short-range drones in May than in any month since February 2022. Technological advances in warfare are expanding the zone of danger for civilians, which is no longer confined by the reach of artillery.”
