Just 2 weeks away! #COP16 on #biodiversity will be attended by 11 heads of state & 14,000 participants. This is the 1st COP since the launch of the Global Biodiversity Framework #GBF. How well is Asia/Pacific positioned? #PeaceWithNature

As @UNDPIndonesia formulates its new program document for 2026-30, we strive to do so in an inclusive and innovative manner. We had a useful consultation with the team @UNDPasiapac Bangkok Regional Hub. We hope to co-create the program with both internal and external partners.

Innovation is an ecosystem that needs support. @UNDP and @Sida know this. From cooler boxes made from coconut husks, to repairing fishing nets, these innovations support blue economies & sustainable fisheries, protect marine biodiversity, fight pollution ow.ly/iOHK50TympW

“The #UNRBHR Forum has become a movement. It is a place where all speakers - but most importantly the rights holders - can voice their concerns. It’s about breaking divides & correcting power imbalances.” Moving words from Harpreet Kaur as we open the Forum! @hkaur0304
