Climate finance can help Libya protect livelihoods and prevent tensions over scarce natural resources. With Environment Minister H.E. Mohamed Sidi Ibrahim @LY_Environment, discussed how climate solutions can support crisis prevention and build community resilience.

Access to justice is vital to build trust & lay the foundation for peace. Legal aid, digital services & human rights shaped my exchange with Libya's Minister of Justice H.E. Halima Ibrahim Abdulrahman. @UNDP continues to support 🇱🇾’s efforts to make justice accessible for all.

Happy #Diwali to colleagues, friends and everyone celebrating! 🪔 May the festival of lights bring joy, peace and prosperity to your homes and communities, and inspire us all to build a brighter future together.

Just arrived in #Libya 🇱🇾! @UNDP marks 50 years of our partnership. Will be meeting government, communities, development partners & UN to discuss how we can support nationally-led pathways to peace and development. 🙏 @Mofa_Libya and @UNDPLibya for the warm welcome.

From Brussels to communities facing crisis, our lives look very different. The essentials are the same: a safe home, access to basic services, a chance to earn a living. That's what the 🇪🇺 🇺🇳#EU-@UNDP partnership helps restore amid crises - because recovery cannot wait.

At #InvestFrontier forum in Brussels, I highlighted how capable institutions & projects ready for funding can bring investment in crisis settings. Our @eu_echo-@EIB-@UNDP mechanism combines humanitarian support, recovery expertise & finance to deliver services & create jobs.

Stopped by our #MovingBeyondCrisis 📸 installation at Schuman 🚉 station in Brussels with @UNDP team! It shows what we achieve with the #EU 🇪🇺: helping people recover & rebuild. Together with our donors & partners, we continue to help communities navigate safely through crises.

Critical infrastructure like transport networks are lifelines for communities during hazards & crisis. At Resilient Gateways to Move Beyond Crisis, I called for disaster preparedness measures to be built into infrastructure planning & investment. 🙏 @germanyintheeu for hosting.

Constructive discussion with @HansDasEU on @eu_echo-@UNDP cooperation & responsible humanitarian transitions. Our @EU_Commission-@EIB-UNDP mechanism is unlocking recovery investment, while INFORM, a crisis risk analysis initiative, helps prioritise prevention & response.
