Engaging leaders at #COP30 in Belém, Brazil, to spotlight how trade, investment and finance can drive a just and climate-resilient economic transformation.

At #COP30, Nationally Determined Contributions #NDCs are opportunities for countries to define, on their own terms, their path to a low-carbon world.

This is why @unctad.bsky.social is helping countries with guidance to connect climate commitments to trade, finance, investment & sustainable growth.

Meeting in the Amazon reminds us that we must act with urgency for decisive climate action with a development perspective.

#COP30 in Belém, Brazil, will be the time for urgent global cooperation – and implementation – to deliver sustainable development for everyone.

An honour to be with President @lulaoficialbluesky.bsky.social & leaders, joining forces for multilateral solutions and mobilizing all partners.

Grateful to GZERO Media, Microsoft, G42, Eurasia Group and the Responsible AI Future Foundation for bringing together such a forward-looking dialogue – and recognition to the UAE for its national strategy and global vision in AI.

At the inaugural Abu Dhabi Global AI Summit, we discussed how to make artificial intelligence a true engine of development and shared prosperity.

But for AI to deliver for everyone, everywhere, we need the right foundations: infrastructure, skills, and governance.

A pleasure to meet H.E. Shaikh Khalid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Bahrain to the UAE.

A new step forward to protect people in cybersecurity: UN Convention against #Cybercrime.

As economies go digital, so do risks.

UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) works to curb illicit financial flows together with #UNODC by building statistical frameworks that enhance transparency & inform policy.

Today is #UNDay, and we celebrate 80 years of the United Nations – 80 years of cooperation, peace, and progress.

From peace and security to human rights, from trade and investment to sustainable development, the UN has shaped a fairer and more connected world.

As we close #UNCTAD16, I am deeply grateful to all countries, delegates and partners who made this conference a success.

Over these days, we have seen multilateralism at its best – open dialogue among nations, diverse perspectives, and a strong voice from the developing world.

Honoured to welcome UN Secretary-General António Guterres to #UNCTAD16.

As we face a world in transition – from technology to climate, from finance to trade – his call for renewed multilateralism is more vital than ever.

UNCTAD shares that vision: concrete solutions for people and for the planet.

Together with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the private sector, we’re addressing supply chains – the backbone of the world economy – making trade more resilient, sustainable & inclusive.

Thank you, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for your leadership.

Let’s remember that 3.4 billion people live in countries that spend more on servicing their debt than on health or education.

Our recognition for the leadership role of the UN Secretary-General António Guterres and Spain.

Commitments made.
Commitments kept.
