With @fionaharvey of The Guardian I explored the implications for national security of a singular focus on investing in a ‘defense and deterrence’ track while defunding international cooperation through a ‘development and resilience’ track. theguardian.com/environment/…

The 🌍 needs transformative solutions for our modern challenges.
That's why @UNDPAccLabs was founded & what it's managed to do by connecting grassroots innovators to global policy makers. In @devex, I explain how their breakthroughs can turn the tide.

We live in a world with $480 trillion in assets yet only 4% of those assets go to low- and middle-income countries.
Imagine what we can do if we derisk investments & unlock private sector potential. @UNDP @UNCDF

The scale of global crises is staggering - 1.2 billion people are vulnerable to climate change and over 305 million people need humanitarian aid.
Support from our donors allows us to respond immediately and support long-term recovery.

I was honoured to meet our @UNDPPalestinian colleagues in an online townhall. Their voices are heard loud and clear. I join in their sorrow following the killings of Ramzi Khader, Issam Al Mughrabi and their families.
@UNDP stands in full solidarity with this courageous team.

The ocean sustains all life on Earth. It covers 71% of our planet & holds 97% of its water. It feeds billions of people.
But it's under threat from overfishing, pollution & climate change. @UNDP and @francediplo_en partner to #SaveOurOcean & support communities.
