Productive exchange with @ClaverGatete on strengthening @ECA_OFFICIAL - @UNHABITAT collaboration to advance Africa’s urban agenda. We explored advancing the Nairobi Declaration, deepening urban data collaboration & building momentum toward #WUF13 and the New Urban Agenda review.

Our long-standing cooperation with Japan continues to show what trusted partnerships can deliver. Today marks a new chapter in this partnership as we launched projects to advance our work on urban recovery, resilience and human security in vulnerable communities.

The UN-Habitat Executive Board has opened its first session for 2026 setting the stage for key decisions on strategy, governance and financing. Member States have convened to strengthen oversight and advance priorities shaping the organization’s work for the year ahead.

Yesterday marked the close of a successful Africa Urban Forum, with the adoption of the Nairobi Declaration. I am proud and deeply grateful to my UN-Habitat colleagues whose tireless work, often behind the scenes, made our strong and meaningful engagement possible.

Incendiary rhetoric in the Middle East war, including threats to annihilate a whole civilisation and target civilian infrastructure, is sickening. The spread of fear and terror must stop. Urgent de-escalation is needed to protect lives. ➡️ ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

We may speak thousands of languages, but we all call this planet home. No matter where we come from, protecting our Earth is a shared responsibility. We need more ambitious #ClimateAction — for our planet and the generations to come. — via @UNDP

What are the priorities shaping #WUF13? At the regional media briefing in Baku, global leaders and experts shared insights on housing, urban resilience, and the future of cities. 👉Swipe through to explore key perspectives from the speakers. #HousingTheWorld #RoadToBaku

People in the Middle East deserve to live without fear, to raise their children without the sound of bombs, to return home without wondering when they have to flee again. The @UN & I will spare no effort in striving for the peaceful future this region so richly deserves.

Attending the media briefing at the 13th Global Baku Forum was inspiring. Highlighting the region’s urban challenges and solutions underscored the importance of inclusive, resilient cities. I look forward to WUF13 amplifying Eastern Europe and Central Asia’s perspectives.
