As we move forward towards #COP17Mongolia we know that where land thrives, people thrive. From Kenya to Mongolia, see how we’re working with local communities #ForPeopleForPlanet to restore the land and unlock the opportunities. go.undp.org/cQu

This year’s theme of #DesertificationAndDroughtDay invites us to recognize, respect and restore rangelands. Stretching at the confluence of the three Rio Conventions, rangelands constitute a fertile ground for policy coherence. @SchomakerAstrid’s message: cbd.int/article/2026-W…

This #DesertificationandDroughtDay we know that where land thrives, people thrive. Recognize. Respect. Restore. From Kenya to Mongolia, see how we’re working with @UNDP to restore the land and unlock the opportunities. go.undp.org/cQu @UNDPPlanet

“Coral restoration is not only about rehabilitating reefs but also about restoring livelihoods, biodiversity and resilience.” In Mauritius, rescuing coral reef fragments is the first step to reimagining a better future. go.undp.org/qVm

Over 25% of Uzbekistan’s land is degraded and nearly 45% is at risk of desertification. Supported by @theGEF @UNDP_Uzbekistan, see what is possible when we work together #ForPeopleForPlanet. Read more ahead of #DesertificationAndDroughtDay: go.undp.org/q6o

Land restoration goes beyond planting trees and reviving soil. It calls for a radical change in how we think, moving from extraction to regeneration, from short-term gains to long-term resilience. #DesertificationAndDroughtDay Recognize. Respect. Restore.

Snow leopards play an important role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem, and support income generation for conservation. With @theGEF & partners, we work with communities to protect snow leopards, while generating resources for shared prosperity.

Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay! 🌍 In Mozambique, a "Mini Solar Giraffe" is transforming a community with support from @theGEF & @UNDPMozambique. This innovative solar power station provides clean energy for 40 families, improving safety and education: bit.ly/4vqVMn5

It was the worst environmental disaster in Mauritius’ history. A cargo vessel ran aground, tearing a catastrophic gash through the reef and spilling oil. On #WorldOceanDay, take a look at @UNDPMauritius @theGEF efforts to restore critical coral reefs: go.undp.org/qVm

Congratulations to @theGEF on achieving a successful GEF-9 replenishment at the #GEFAssembly2026 As the @UNDP Head of Delegation, I reaffirmed our commitment to focus on programming to achieve greater impact and tangible, measurable results across all the countries we serve.

Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean but support over 25% of all life in it. To protect corals, we must #FinanceTheFuture. As #GEFAssembly2026 continues, see how communities supported by @UNDPMauritius @theGEF are already at work: go.undp.org/qVm 🪸🪸🪸

It was the worst environmental disaster in Mauritius’ history. Nadeem couldn’t just stand by as the crisis unfolded. As a marine scientist, he knew exactly what to do. This is what resilience looks like when you #FinanceTheFuture: go.undp.org/qVm #GEFAssembly2026🪸🪸🪸

@NizamiGanjaviIC My sincere condolences

It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that we inform Rovshan Muradov’s many friends and admirers around the world that he has passed away unexpectedly in Istanbul. He was there engaged in the work he so loved—organizing the participation of the Nizami Ganjavi International Center (NGIC) in an important international conference in Türkiye. Rovshan was one of the founding members of the NGIC and served as its Secretary-General from its first days. Through his vision, dedication, and tireless efforts, he played a central role in building the institution into the internationally respected organization it is today. He recruited, mentored, and inspired the staff, established enduring partnerships across continents, and worked ceaselessly to strengthen the bonds of friendship among the Center’s distinguished members. More than an able administrator and accomplished international figure, Rovshan possessed a rare gift for bringing people together. Through his warmth, and generosity of spirit, he fostered not only professional collaboration but also a genuine sense of family within the NGIC community. He was deeply respected, greatly admired, and sincerely loved by all who had the privilege of knowing and working with him. His passing leaves an immense void in our hearts and in the life of the institution to which he devoted so much of himself. His legacy will endure in the organization he helped create, in the many friendships he nurtured, and in the countless lives he touched. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, his loved ones, and his many friends throughout the world. May they find comfort in the knowledge that Rovshan’s life was one of service, friendship, and lasting achievement, and that his memory will remain with us always. Further information regarding memorial arrangements and opportunities to honor Rovshan’s memory will be communicated in due course.
