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?

Palestine: the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People 'Must Be Realized' - UN Chief | UN

UN Secretary-General António Guterres stressed that the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people “must be realized.” At the at the 426th Meeting of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, Guterres said, “Any sustainable solution in Gaza must be consistent with international law, and result in Gaza and the West Bank – including East Jerusalem – being governed by a unified, legitimate, and internationally recognized Palestinian Government. Gaza is and must remain an integral part of a Palestinian State.” He also said, “The recently published tender by Israel for 3,401 housing units in the E1 area – alongside continued demolitions – is profoundly alarming. If carried forward, it would sever the northern and southern West Bank, undermine territorial contiguity, and strike a severe blow to the viability of a two-State solution.” He reaffirmed his full support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) and condemned the adoption by the Israeli parliament of laws that “further impede the Agency’s ability to operate and carry out its mandate activities. I also condemn in the strongest terms actions by Israeli authorities to demolish the UNRWA Sheikh Jarrah compound in occupied East Jerusalem. Let me be clear: UNRWA premises are United Nations premises. They are inviolable and immune from any form of interference. Public threats by officials of Israel against the staff of UNRWA are utterly abhorrent and must be met with unequivocal repudiation.” Guterres concluded, “The occupation must end, as affirmed by the International Court of Justice. The inalienable rights of the Palestinian people must be realized. The inalienable rights of the Palestinian people must be realized.” Palestinian Ambassador Riyad Mansour, said, “The ceasefire has to be permanent. It should not be fragile. Israel should not continue to go and to kill our people as they wish in the Gaza Strip and in other parts of the occupied Palestinian territory.” He also said, “Gaza is not a piece of land that is hanging in the air for anyone to grab it. It belongs to its people. It belongs to the Palestinian people. The West Bank, including East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, constitute a single territorial unit. Their unity, integrity and status must be preserved, and they must be unified under the Palestinian Authority, as affirmed by the Security Council and GA resolution.” Michael Contet, Director of the UNRWA Representative Office in New York said, “In Gaza, UNRWA remains the largest and most comprehensive service provider, effectively acting as the public sector for more than half the population.” He highlighted, “The operational constraints imposed by Israel on UNRWA, compounded by an unprecedented financial shortfall, severely undermine our GA mandate, which has just been renewed for another three years, and pose an existential threat to our work in the occupied Palestinian territory. They are taking place in utter disregard for international law and the UN Charter.” He stressed, “The actions against UNRWA include a large-scale dis- and mis-information campaign. The repeating of allegations that have already been proven wrong or unsubstantiated, including by the world’s highest court, or have been addressed, continues to form the backdrop for reduced or increasingly conditioned financial contributions. This reduction, combined with a suspension of funding by two major donors, has left a gaping hole in the finances of the Agency to this day.” He reported, “The estimated shortfall for 2026 is 220 million USD – amounting to 40 percent of the funds required for basic operations, including paying our local staff, who directly deliver UNRWA’s services to beneficiaries. As a result, the Commissioner-General was compelled to take the difficult decision to implement as of this month a reduction of UNRWA’s service-delivery working hours by 20 percent, in all five fields, with salaries of Area staff adjusted accordingly. This was taken as a measure of last resort, to preserve the Agency and its mandate.” Full remarks [as delivered]: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/sg/statements/2026-02-03/secretary-generals-remarks-the-2026-opening-session-of-the-committee-the-exercise-of-the-inalienable-rights-of-the-palestinian-people
