Live from #JuneClimateMeetings 🔴
Climate action will only succeed if it benefits people. As countries take climate action, it will be important the changes it brings are inclusive and fair.
@UNDP's @Sangji_climate explains what’s at stake with just transition at #SB64 in Bonn.

Climate action plans exist. Investment needs to follow.
In the era of climate implementation, the question is not what to do; it's how to pay for it.

Land restoration goes beyond planting trees and reviving soil.
It calls for a radical change in how we think, moving from extraction to regeneration, from short-term gains to long-term resilience.
#DesertificationAndDroughtDay
Recognize. Respect. Restore.

1.3 billion people across the Asia-Pacific rely on the informal economy. It is lively, yet highly vulnerable to shocks. @UNDP is helping informal workers secure stable jobs, building stronger and more resilient economies for the future.
Here is a closer look at our Administrator @alexanderdecroo’s visit to Bangkok, exploring the daily realities of the informal economy.

What does a climate-resilient tea village look like? It starts with listening. 🫖
In Kelin Kanda, #SriLanka, over 60 tea smallholders came together to map their village, reflect on its past, and unpack the seasonal challenges shaping their livelihoods. Through a village walk‑through, women and youth shared their aspirations, helping to identify priorities for the future.

Government Development Financing is a central pillar of @UNDP’s model. Through GDF, nations are leading & funding their programme w/UNDP. This shift allows countries to co-invest, scale innovations, & share their expertise, reinforcing South-South & South-North collaboration.

Climate auditing is 🔑 for effective climate governance. As govts strengthen climate budgeting, Supreme Audit Inst (SAIs) play an imp role in enhancing independent oversight. Enhancing access & efficiency of climate finance remains a core @UNDP priority.
