Warm welcome to @SarahMacFCDO, the UK鈥檚 new Permanent Representative.
With global cooperation under pressure, the UK鈥檚 support for multilateralism matters.
Together, we can turn that support into action. Help communities through crises. Create jobs. Build better futures.

- 326 aid workers were killed last year. They were not taking sides. They were saving lives. Humanitarians are not targets. International humanitarian law is not optional. Protect those who protect humanity. #WorldHumanitarianDay go.undp.org/GBV
- Very good exchange with Ambassador @MelnykAndrij, Permanent Representative of Ukraine. Across Ukraine, @UNDP is installing decentralized energy systems, supporting demining & helping communities prepare for winter. We remain committed to supporting Ukrainians in difficult times
- Extreme weather is now the new normal. Three @UN conferences this year will address land, biodiversity and climate. Different agendas. One interconnected crisis. As #COP17Mongolia begins today, the real test is not what is promised. It is what is delivered.
- Good meeting with Ambassador Mouctar Abakar, Chad鈥檚 Permanent Representative to the UN. Chad Connection 2030 sets a clear national ambition. @UNDP is working to help deliver it and move from transition to development. I look forward to visiting N鈥橠jamena later this year.
