Opened the #SpaceDebrisConference 2026 yesterday. ~13k satellites are already in orbit, w/ deployment accelerating. Sustaining the benefits of the space economy for present & future generations depends on predictable, responsible, & inclusive management of space resources.
Always a pleasure catching-up w/ Aarti! UNOOSA is a key partner of @itu.int in ensuring that space serves everyone! #SpaceDebrisConference #OneUN #UNDelivers
2025 taught me resilience isnโt abstract-itโs lived
From #SubmarineCables & #satellites to #AI standards&skills, #GreenDigitalAction &support for communities affected by wars &disasters,adaptation was key. 2026 is @itu.int โs Year of Resilience. Letโs build it together

Christmas back home in Gargลพdai๐ฑ๐น๐Family, familiar streets, and the quiet reminder of what truly matters.

Joined the launch of @itu.int's Stocktaking at #COP30noBrasil on how climate pledges capture digital impact๐ฑ
90% of Nationally Determined Contributions mention digital solutions. Yet the digital sectorโs own footprint still goes uncounted. #GreenDigitalAction

๐Standards enable the green&digital transitions to advance together, supporting both innovation&accountability
W/@iecstandards.bsky.social & @isostandards.bsky.social, @itu.int is ensuring #COP30noBrasil promises translate into measurable climate impact
#GreenDigitalAction #WorldStandardsCooperation
Great honour to meet Frederico Siqueira, Minister of @mincomunicacoes.bsky.social, at @cop30brazil.bsky.social
Inspiring to see Brazilโs leadership in #GreenDigitalAction, from the new hub to be anchored in Brazil as lasting COP30 legacy to initiatives, such as Norte Conectado & Mutirรฃo TecnoClima๐๐ก
๐จ 140 countries still lack mobile-based early warning systems. @itu.int is helping bridge this gap with Cell Broadcast, Common Alerting Protocol training & #AI for early warnings
Letโs ensure everyone gets life-saving alerts in time for action. #EarlyWarnings4All ๐๐ฑ #COP30noBrasil
Great catching up w/Kamal Kishore, SR on Disaster Risk Reduction &Head of UNDRR, to discuss scaling cell broadcast early warnings ๐ก to save lives and risks to #digital #infrastructure

Brazilโs Computers for Inclusion program shows how e-waste can be transformed into jobs, skills, & connectivity
Data-centre electricity use is rising 12% per year, 4x faster than global electricity demand๐กโก
At #COP30noBrasil, I highlighted how @itu.int's standards support credible, harmonized measurement of ICT emissions.
Let's work together to build the data foundation for climate action.
At the #COP30 @nokia.bsky.social panel, discussing how #AI & digital tech can cut emissions: from smarter networks to green data centres. ICT already makes up 1.5โ4% of global GHGs, so every digital innovation must count for the planet. ๐ฑ๐ป
