United Nations Doctorate Maida Lynn N. Jaguit,RN,MM,Ph.D.M joining on Climate Action

At the European CSO Platform this week, the message was clear: sustainability and competitiveness go hand in hand. Business is not against regulation. But regulation must be smart, incentive-based and create the conditions for companies to invest with confidence.

Inspiring visit by UN @globalcompact CEO @SandaOjiambo to engage w/ 🇪🇺& 🇧🇪on power of public-private partnerships to achieve SDGs. EU's #GlobalGateway & UN Global Compact principles are vital for private sector action to drive economic growth while protecting people & planet.

My takeaways from the UN @globalcompact European CSO Platform: ➡️ Sustainability and business competitiveness are deeply interconnected. ➡️ Companies seek consistency and rules that help them build the business case. ➡️ Right now, it is more important than ever to work collectively alongside business, civil society and Government to advance sustainable business practices and build a better future.

🇺🇳 Excellent conversation with @SandaOjiambo, CEO of the UN @GlobalCompact. Belgium and the UN share the same ambition: bringing business on board for sustainable development. @BelgiumMFA @BelgiumUN @UNinBrussels

Compliance sets the minimum standard. Integrity defines the standard organizations choose to uphold.

One of the greatest ironies of our times is that we continue to seek meaningful climate action from those who are often the managers, beneficiaries, and cheerleaders of war. As delegates gather at SB64 in Bonn to discuss pathways towards a safer, more sustainable future, the world remains trapped in a model that rewards conflict while preaching cooperation. Wars devastate ecosystems, destroy livelihoods, displace communities, deepen inequalities, and leave behind enormous carbon footprints. Yet the political and economic systems that profit from militarisation are frequently the same systems expected to lead the climate transition. How do we reconcile calls for decarbonisation with ever-rising military expenditures? How do we speak of climate justice while normalising conflicts that inflict disproportionate suffering on the most vulnerable? How do we negotiate resilience and adaptation while bombs erase decades of development gains overnight? Climate change and war are not separate crises. They are deeply interconnected manifestations of a development paradigm that places power, extraction, and short-term interests above people, peace, and planetary well-being. Perhaps the conversation at Bonn needs to go beyond emissions, targets, and finance. It must also confront a fundamental question: Can we realistically expect a just and effective climate future while continuing to celebrate and sustain economies that thrive on conflict? There can be no lasting climate justice without peace. And there can be no meaningful peace without climate justice. ~ Ranjan Panda 12 June, 2026 #SB64 @UNFCCC @UNFCCCDocuments @UNFCCCwebcast @IPCC_CH @WaterInitiativ1 @MahanadiRiver @MahanadiRiver @Youth4WaterIn @FESinAsia @boell_India @UUSC @CJRFund @UNUCRIS @UNUEHS @Welthungerhilfe @WHH_India @DDisplacement @RefugeesIntl @UNmigration @cmdplatform @IOMAsiaPacific @nrc @LossandDamage @LossDamageYouth @LossDamage @waterclimateint @Adapt_Alliance @GCAP_adaptation @whiteband @youngo_unfccc @globalcompact @IDPs_Panel @GFMD_CSD @GFMDprocess

27% of marketers say they're "well advanced" in sustainable transformation. Only 9 of sustainability professionals agree. The first global CMO benchmark aligned to UN guidance — from UN @globalcompact × @Kantar — unpacks why, and what to do about it: unglobalcompact.org/cmo-blue…

Through peer learning and active collaboration, participants will discuss the regulatory, financial and policy enablers needed to unlock and scale sustainability-driven investments to support European competitiveness and long-term resilience.

You speak of human rights yet you withdraw essential medicines to countries that are seemingly not important to you. So Kenyans don’t matter? Bring back valdoxan. It’s a shame

“The transition ahead is complex, but our strength lies in our ability to see our greatest challenges as opportunities to drive innovation, competitiveness and sustainable economic growth.” — @SandaOjiambo

The work of PRI to help build a more sustainable global financial system strongly aligns with the mission of the UN @globalcompact and our continued efforts to advance sustainable finance and blended finance solutions that drive long-term value and impact.
