🌿Walking in #BenjakittiPark, Bangkok even in the midst of urban Asia, one sees the value of nature's assets all around. Putting a true cost on these assets and then so much more in our countries - forests, wetlands, peats, mangroves - this is intergenerational wealth to be protected, used wisely and passed down! @UNDPasiapac working with national legislation, local action and our partners to ensure nature-based assets are valued and accounted for in inclusive economic growth. Much more to come with @UNDP on this through the year, so watch this space! @BangkokPostNews @UNDP_SDGFinance @BESNet_UNDP @UNDPThailand

As development aid falls, we need smarter, coordinated partnerships. Ones that unlock new potential. This means building the architecture to connect capital to where it is most needed. @UNDP is here to help make that possible. My message at @FinanceInCommon / #G7 in Paris.

A city only works for everyone when it works for women. Congratulations to Bangkok City, Governor @chadchart_trip and Deputy Governor Tavida on achieving the Gender Equality Seal – Gold. The Seal is a @UNDP standard for building equality into decisions, budgets & services.

@alexanderdecroo @chadchart_trip @UNDP The first city in the region to do so, and it was a privilege for @UNDPasiapac to support and accompany this journey of learning, energy and results. Hope to see many more city govts and businesses to follow and take up the #GenderSeal soon!

Mid-East conflict’s shockwaves are travelling faster than expected across Asia‑Pacific. As I said to @damiencave @nytimes the rapid retreat on economic gains are most keenly felt by the millions being pushed back into poverty in the Asia Pacific region...and this is happening now! See @nytimesworld article: nytimes.com/2026/04/20/wor…

Spoke today with @ChannelNewsAsia’s Yasmin Jonkers on the Middle East conflict’s impact across 36 Asia-Pacific countries. I was asked about @UNDP focus. From households & small businesses to informal workers and farmers, food, fuel, fertilizer shortages hit the most vulnerable first. Supporting policies and programmes that reach them - that's our priority. Interview Insights: channelnewsasia.com/world/united-n… Read report here: go.undp.org/T48

Happy to host a delegation from Nepal🇳🇵on national carbon registries & climate budget tagging. Fruitful & timely exchange as 🇵🇭 moves forward on its own carbon registry. Facilitating mutual learning with other countries is a key part of @UNDPPH role. #SSC @DFAPHL @dofgovph

Bombing a hospital or a school isn't a "miscalculation." Killing a paramedic isn't "collateral damage." Starving civilians isn't "negotiating tactic." These are war crimes. Full stop. Call it what it is.

Lose a job and suddenly the house is cold, medicine is over, insurance is out of reach, continuing w school is hard, basic meals are not affordable ...so much feels out of bounds. One setback, many deprivations... This 1 min capture by digital artist @Vaskange is a powerful visualization of the reality for so many millions around the world... The climb back to a secure place for oneself and family, is not only about income but services and social systems that must work to keep things from falling apart. @UNDP’s new Strategic Plan centers on building and delivering that stable and strong prosperity for all. Now onwards to implementation!

When the global news cycle feels all doom-and-gloom, this piece by Homi Kharas at @BrookingsInst @BrookingsGlobal is a breadth of fresh air! He points to 10 positive economic wins for developing economies in 2025, driven by local innovation and smart cooperation, even amid the uncertainty and shocks. And a clear reminder to stay on course with human development! t.co/rplrwWIv7h

A big step forward to support judges navigate the fast-evolving world of IP with: ✅ procedural guidance ✅ International best practices ✅ Streamlined procedural steps.

Trust is not brokered by institutions alone. It is brokered by people who hold to common rules and principles and speak the truth when it matters most. At today's #WEF26 panel "Who Brokers Trust Now?", I called on the international community to engage in dialogue and stand up for our international rules, be it peace and security or trade and economy.
