Grateful to meet Camilla Brückner, Director of @UNinBrussels, and for her warm welcome. @WHO appreciates all @UN agencies' efforts to strengthen 🇺🇳-🇪🇺 cooperation. Together, for a healthier, safer world.

#Brussels landmarks turn orange tonight to show solidarity with victims of violence. Let’s act now to end violence against women! #OrangeTheWorld #16Days

So, it’s now or never. How are you going to ACT for change? First watch, then share. And then jump on board with @FrankietheDino (that's me!) and @UNDP, because we want to save this world! #DontChooseExtinction

To successfully emerge from COVID-19 into a fairer, greener future, we need to recognise nature as an essential piece of the puzzle. Read this joint piece by @ASteiner @TimmermansEU @SDDecleve on why we need a nature-positive future. #COP26 theguardian.com/environment/20…

.@frankiethedino took over @BrusselsAirport to tell us that we can no longer ignore the climate crisis. Let’s take #ClimateAction before it’s too late: dontchooseextinction.com #DontChooseExtinction

On the support the @UNDP is giving #Afghanistan, @kanniwignaraja tells me the Taliban must "continue to allow women & girls to go to school, women to work, this is essential because women don't hold up half of society & half the local economy, they pretty much hold up all of it".

My message to the people of Haiti: You are not alone. We stand by your side in these trying times.   The @UN continues to assist those affected by Saturday's deadly earthquake with humanitarian aid, including medical supplies & health care, clean water, emergency shelter & more.

I am leaving Rome very hopeful. We demonstrated that only by working together – as one people, in solidarity – can we work for a sustainable and prosperous planet for all. But our work is far from over. Our transformative work is just beginning.

As of Thursday, humankind has used up more natural resources than can be renewed this year. #EarthOvershootDay is a blunt reminder of the urgent need to rethink the way we produce and consume in a more sustainable way.

My thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the devastating floods in Europe and their families. In solidarity with the people of Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.

Exciting new chapter of renewed collaboration w @EBRD+@UNDP begins w signing of our MoU. Pleased to join @OdileRenaud in partnership to #BuildForwardBetter from #COVID19 & 2 leverage #DigitalTransformation for tomorrow’s competitive & inclusive economies bit.ly/3AIx5ah

From day one, Secretary-General @antonioguterres has made #GenderEquality a @UN priority. Together with @eu_eeas, @GlobalSpotlight is achieving notable results, working to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls.

“Hamoun is our breath, our hope, our food. Hamoun is our life…” says Mohammad, 53, an environmental activist from #Iran. A #EU - @UNDP initiative helps rural communities in the Hamoun Wetlands basin to establish sustainable climate-smart livelihoods: bit.ly/3qRVTbs

EU Ambassador: "This project is timely and unique. It supports cross-border relations between AF and Central Asia through education programmes and helps to build the ties between people. EU will continue supporting UZ to ensure stability in the region" bit.ly/36lgXNZ

"Strong #InternationalPartnerships are needed to achieve a global level playing field for a #DigitalDecade that #LeavesNoOneBehind", said @EvaKaili today at #RiDaysEU @UNinBrussels fully agrees, and welcomes the ambitious 4 targets of the #EU🇪🇺Digital Compass !

Massive differences in income support mobilized by rich and poor countries to mitigate #poverty during #COVID19 paves the way for a divergent recovery and large increase of vulnerability in developing countries. More in @UNDP's new report:

Join @ASteiner, @LicDanielArroyo, @kuminaidoo, @NgaireWoods and @EliseLabott at #HLPF on 6 July for a conversation on our 🆕 #poverty report and the power of policy choices that avoided deeper development reversals during #COVID19. Reserve your spot now: bit.ly/3hqDka4
