3 asks I made at #COP31 to accelerate #ClimateAction: Govts: Put climate into national budgets & investment plans Investors: Help countries make investments bankable Partners: Let's combine our expertise to deliver results My full statement: go.undp.org/f4b @OECD

At #COP31, @UNDP signed a Statement of Intent w/ the Govt. of Uzbekistan to deepen our p'ship in 🇺🇿's green economy transition. I reaffirmed our support to translate 🇺🇿's climate & development priorities into action, covering biodiversity, water, agriculture, & energy.

Countries have set out their climate ambitions through their national climate plans. Now, the challenge is putting those plans into implementation. I’m on the ground at #COP31 in Antalya, Turkiye. As @UNDP, we are here to turn ambitions & commitments into action. @UNDPplanet

Excited to be in Antalya🇹🇷 for #COP31 w/ hope & resolve! Looking forward to engaging with partners, leaders & communities to strengthen collaboration, scale finance & build momentum for #ClimateAction on the ground. The plans are ready. It's time for action. @alexanderdecroo

#COP31 offers an opportunity to address the gap between the urgency of the climate crisis and the action on the ground. Ultimately, this year’s Conference will be judged not only by the agreements reached, but by what follows. It is all about delivery: go.undp.org/GWz

At #COP31, the focus is shifting from high-level pledges to tangible climate action on the ground. Here are 3 powerful examples from Asia & the Pacific of what practical, community-led local action looks like, supported by @dfat, @gef_sgp, & @UNDP_Pacific go.undp.org/xVH

⏩#COP17 paved the way for accelerated biodiversity action, but we urgently need to close the finance gap. As we head to Antalya🇹🇷, @UNDP will carry forward COP17 outcomes into the climate #COP31 agenda, align nature-climate policy, & help countries turn ambition into actions.

📍@UNDP will establish a🆕Global Centre for Sustainable Development in Shanghai🇨🇳 to support green&digital transitions, sustainable trade & finance, linking countries ➡️ expertise, partnerships & solutions tailored to their priorities: go.undp.org/xjj @alexanderdecroo

People deserve to know how development funding is used &what it delivers. Happy to see @UNDP among global leaders in the Aid Transparency #2026Index. This recognition reflects our continued commitment to transparency & accountability in development cooperation. @alexanderdecroo

Young people have the talent, ambition & commitment to drive a global, just & #SustainableEnergy transition. They need to be in driving seat so they can shape the sustainable energy futures of their countries & communities. Let's 👂 what they are saying: go.undp.org/xrT

Climate action, nature protection & land restoration, when backed by investments at scale, become engines of prosperity & resilience. At #COP31, @UNDP is calling for finance at scale - responsive to countries' needs & unlocking investments to empower all: go.undp.org/xzQ

Development is the first line of defense against instability in a highly interconnected world. Simply increasing military budgets is not going to solve all the world's problems today. Read my full interview at @infobae: bit.ly/4A5mK6b @alexanderdecroo

On #WorldCitiesDay, let's recognize that adequate housing is more than a roof over our heads. It means access to basic services, opportunities, & public spaces. Investing in integrated urban regeneration is key to building connected, inclusive, & climate-resilient communities.

When people & wildlife thrive together, so does our 🌎. Communities closest to wildlife bear the brunt of human-wildlife conflict. They must help shape the solutions. The ✉️ for #WorldWildlifeDay 2027 is clear: shared spaces demand shared responsibility. go.undp.org/xbQ
