00:00Throughout 2024, hope has been hard to find.
00:05Wars are causing enormous pain, suffering and displacement.
00:09Inequalities and divisions are rife, fueling tensions and mistrust.
00:15And today, I can officially report that we have just endured a decade of deadly heat.
00:22The top 10 hottest years on record have happened in the last 10 years, including 2024.
00:29This is climate breakdown in real time.
00:33In 2025, countries must put the world on a safer path
00:37by dramatically slashing emissions and supporting the transition to a renewable future.
00:43It is essential and it is possible.
00:46I see hope in activists, young and old, raising their voices for progress.
00:51I see hope in humanitarian heroes overcoming enormous obstacles to support the most vulnerable people.
00:58I see hope in developing countries fighting for financial and climate justice.
01:03I see hope in the scientists and innovators breaking new ground for humanity.
01:08And I saw hope in September when world leaders came together to adopt the Pact for the Future.
01:14The Pact is a new push to build peace through disarmament and prevention.
01:19To reform the global financial system so it supports and represents all countries.
01:24To push for more opportunities for women and young people.
01:28To build guardrails so technologies put people over profits and rights over runway algorithms.
01:34Together we can make 2025 a new beginning, not as a world divided, but as nations united.
