UN Human Security

🔴 TODAY 2:00 PM: Voices from Cities! 🏙️ Join #UNTFHS to discuss local leadership in urban resilience. We’re moving beyond "shelter" to comprehensive #HumanSecurity. Together with @WUF_UNHabitat @unhabitat @sturibe @LSEnews

🌍 Heading to #WUF13 in Baku? Join #UNTFHS to place human security at the heart of the urban agenda! 🗓️ 19 May, 2pm: Voices from Cities 🗓️ 20 May, 2pm: One UN Event Together with @UNHABITAT @WUF_UNHabitat Link to our Event Page: shorturl.at/pWn2Y

#WUF13 kicks off today in Baku. Cities are on the frontline. Housing is at the center. This is a pivotal moment to scale what works — from neighborhood to global agenda. Follow along with #UNTFHS. @WUF_UNHabitat @UNHABITAT 🔗shorturl.at/CJEHy

As #IMRF2026 concludes, #UNTFHS programmes show how #GCM commitments are applied in practice—supporting coordinated, context-specific responses across diverse contexts. #Migration #LeaveNoOneBehind #GCM #migration2026

Making migration work for all demands real partnerships. In 🇨🇴 Colombia, a #UNTFHS programme connected governments, the private sector, UN & communities through the #HumanSecurity Business Partnership Framework — turning the #GCM's vision into practice. #IMRF2026

Between 1.6–2.8 billion people lack access to safe or adequate housing. Over 1.1 billion live in informal settlements without secure tenure or basic services. Housing is the foundation upon which resilient, peaceful cities are built. @WUF_UNHabitat 🔗rb.gy/1wz51p

The future of migration governance is anticipatory & data-driven. In 🇸🇳 Senegal, a #UNTFHS programme deployed a #HumanSecurity Stability Index & digital platform — building prevention-oriented governance at the climate-migration-conflict nexus. #IMRF2026 #migration2026

Climate change is driving displacement & the Pacific is on the frontlines. A #UNTFHS programme helped develop a Regional Framework on #ClimateMobility, endorsed by Pacific Leaders in 2023—ensuring risks don’t escalate into compounding vulnerabilities. @ForumSEC @DDisplacement

In 🇪🇬 Egypt, a #UNTFHS programme supported 18,500 youth with skills & livelihoods and 23,000 small enterprises — turning migration pressures into economic opportunity. That is the migration-development nexus in practice. #HumanSecurity #IMRF2026

In Gabon 🇬🇦, the human security approach is strengthening national systems to respond to mobility, better identify needs, and support vulnerable populations. #HumanSecurity #UNTFHS #IMRF2026

Migration works best when host communities are part of the solution. In 🇲🇦 Morocco, a #UNTFHS programme brought together 729 young refugees, migrants & locals to build the social cohesion that makes migration work for all. #HumanSecurity #IMRF2026

People on the move face layered, compounding risks — violence, trafficking & denial of basic rights. In 🇲🇽 Mexico, a #UNTFHS programme trained 800+ officials, supported 33 shelters & shifted national migration policy toward human-centred protection. #HumanSecurity #IMRF2026

Development is no longer just a technical undertaking. It is a quest for trust. #HumanSecurity is the framework that turns global uncertainty into community resilience. The 45th anniversary of @fletcher_praxis explores exactly that.🔗shorturl.at/8D7KW @FletcherSchool

Safe migration starts before anyone crosses a border. In Madagascar, climate change & environmental degradation drive internal migration, creating layered insecurities. The #HumanSecurity approach supports inclusive & managed processes for those on the move & host communities.

304 million people live outside their country of birth. Migration can be a source of prosperity for all when commitments toward safe, orderly and regular migration are translated into action. This week at #IMRF2026, #UNTFHS shows human-centred migration governance in practice.

We are pleased by the strong response to the #HumanSecurityAward, with a high volume of submissions demonstrating the #HumanSecurity approach in practice across the #UN system. Award recipients will be announced in late May 2026. Thank you to all who contributed!

Did you know 117.3 million people are forcibly displaced worldwide? Behind the numbers are people and communities. Acting early—preparing, adapting, and building resilience—helps reduce risks before displacement becomes unavoidable. #HumanSecurity

Did you know that only half of the global population feels in control of their lives? For many, challenges build and reinforce one another. Addressing them together is key to enabling people to shape their lives, communities, and futures. #HumanSecurity

The latest #UNTFHS News Update explores our evolution into a strategic financing platform designed to address the intersections of today’s most complex, overlapping risks. ✅110+ countries ✅$116M+ leveraged ✅50M+ lives impacted in Egypt alone Explore: shorturl.at/NmARB

Only 21% of women in low-income countries use the internet, compared to 93% in high-income countries. Digital exclusion is a #HumanSecurity challenge. The gender digital divide is not just about access, but participation, opportunity, and voice. #DigitalInclusion
