#EidMubarak from all of us @UNDPasiapac to everyone celebrating. Wishing peace, harmony and compassion for communities everywhere!🌙 ✨

#ClimateAction is stronger when shaped with young people. In my conversation with @DikshyaSubed7i, a climate advocate from Nepal🇳🇵, she urges governments to listen through the lens of #youth and turn their voices into real climate solutions. @UNDP_Nepal @NYCA_Nepal @YECAP_AP

Glad to launch this new partnership w/ @ADB_HQ on #WomenJudges Day. Strengthening women’s leadership in the judiciary is about more than representation; it is about building justice systems that truly understand people’s lives & deliver just outcomes for women and girls. #IWD2026

On #IWD, dismantling barriers to justice & voice matters so women have equal say in political decisions. I sat down w/ @_amiraaisya State Legislative Assembly member from 🇲🇾 who stressed importance for young women to navigate power dynamics to advance the agendas they stand for!

When women farmers are empowered, food systems become more resilient, ecosystems are better protected & communities grow stronger. Sharing insights from regional dialogue organized by @FAOAsiaPacific+@UNDPasiapac marking the #YearOfTheWomanFarmer. #IWD2026 go.undp.org/5Ki

“Nature protects us when we protect it.” Viet Nam’s Dong Nai Biosphere Reserve is home to endangered Asian elephants, rich biodiversity, and communities whose lives are closely connected to nature. With support from UNDP and GEF, provinces are working together under a unified approach to restore forests, protect wetlands, and promote sustainable livelihoods. On #WorldWildlifeDay, DNBR reminds us of that conservation without borders is essential for wildlife, people, and our shared future.

From the #BrandenburgGate, a symbol of a shared peace - standing for a collective security with collective well-being. With multiple epicenters of a new security and risk reality, it is a reminder that investments in the right kind of development can be a strong line of defense, acting also as circuit breakers to stabilize in fragile situations and help nurture that shared peace. Thank you to Germany for placing its trust in @UNDP to advance this work around the world. @BMZ_Bund @Johann_Saathoff @GermanyDiplo @Nzippelius @Bundestag @GERonAsia @MAHauenstein @UNDPGermany @GermanyUN

Preparedness is not a one-off investment but a shared culture built over time. At #APFSD, side-event by @UNDP+@JapanGov, partners shared how schools in AP foster culture of preparedness, & stressed importance of policies & systems to protect communities.➡️go.undp.org/5hA

Launched ‘Navigating #ClimateGovernance’ report covering 1K+ youth voices in 35 countries. Youth lead action but remain absent from decision making rooms. Institutions need to keep pace. 🙏@SwedeninAP, for parterning to strengthen youth voice. #APFSD go.undp.org/5mL

Glad to join the #GenerationHopeGoals final pitch at #APFSD2026. Inspired by the energy & ingenuity of these young leaders driving #SDG progress. @UNDPasiapac helping to create spaces to learn, test ideas, & collaborate - promoting strong youth leadership. go.undp.org/5mV

Today, at the 13th Asia Pacific Forum for Sustainable Development @UNDP @ESCAP @ADB launched our 2026 Partnership Report - this one focused on Inclusive Urban Futures. The picture is clear - while cities in this region are growing rapidly, inequality grows alongside them. Close to 700 million people live in slums, 65 per cent of urban workers are in informal jobs, and 2.3 billion people breathe unsafe air! We then present tested practice, policy, laws and innovation that is changing this equation. Great examples from fellow panelists on Nepal, Thailand, Japan, Singapore! Read here: go.undp.org/5WE

Read Now! The 2026 Asia-Pacific SDG Partnership Report, Inclusive Urban Futures: From Inequality to Opportunity is now available. Discover data, insights, and solutions showing how cities can address inequality, support livelihoods, and strengthen resilience across the region. Download: go.undp.org/5WE

@ADBPresident and @alexanderdecroo met in Davos, to reinforce the growing partnership between @ADB_HQ and @UNDP. Together, we work to advance broader economic prosperity and energy security, post disaster and crisis recovery, and ensure improved human development outcomes. Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal and Sri Lanka illustrate some of the ongoing efforts with more in the pipeline for 2026. @UNDPNepal @UNDPSriLanka @UNDPBangladesh @stefanliller @AzusaKubota @KyokoYokosuka @UNDPaf @sarodriques @UNDP_SDGFinance @CFN_UNDP
