When you ask your colleagues "anything interesting at the office today?" and they go, "actually yes, we bought a ship, used it to transfer 1.1 million barrels of oil from a rusting hulk to safe storage, and prevented a major oil spill in the Red Sea."

Very proud of #UN and #UNDP.

Last month (which I missed) the #UnitedNations #UNDP Human Development report revealed that bias & prejudice against #women across the world has mad no improvement whatsoever in the last ten years (according to their World Values Survey).

A quarter of world believe that beating one's wife is perfectly acceptable;

And over half the world's population think #abortion is never justified.

There's more but you get the picture;

#Womensrights are #humanrights not a luxury!

The UNDP released a paper in 2022 about the coming debt stress among the poorest countries that spend more on debt service than on health. https://www.undp.org/publications/dfs-avoiding-too-little-too-late-international-debt-relief

What an incredible opportunity to speak at @undp (UNDP) and the National Council of Justice (CNJ) International Conference on Electronic Monitoring in Brasilia! 🇧🇷

Over 3,000 people registered for this event.

I offered provocations on ethics and rights, and took a critical look at claims of rehabilitation and electronic monitoring technologies in criminal justice.

Last year’s devastating #FloodsInPakistan cost the country more than US$30 billion, emphasizing the need for tackling development from a different perspective. #UNDP

"While all countries face a multitude of
challenges, the Peoples’ Climate Vote shows that there are many opportunities for governments
to address #ClimateChange with the backing of the people."

That's UN-speak for "Climate action? Go for it, government, the people got your back."

#UNDP #PeoplesClimateVote
https://www.undp.org/publications/peoples-climate-vote

Nearly two-thirds (64%) of people in 50 countries say
that #ClimateChange is a global emergency.

Among that group, 59% said that the
world should do everything necessary and urgently in response. The urgency was expressed most in Small Island Developing States (who are the most vulnerable) but equally so in developed countries.

#UNDP #PeoplesClimateVote

If you are into urgent #climate action, you are not alone!

"The People's Climate Vote" is a #UNDP survey of
1.2 million respondents in
50 countries covering
56% of the world’s population.

"A key factor for countries raising levels of climate
ambition is popular support for policies that address #ClimateChange."

This study shows that that support is there, and in abundance. It has received almost no coverage in the news. so here's a thread.

Remembering my times in #Ethiopia with #UNDP for some capability building projects for their ministry officials. It was a personal journey for me as I enter their space. Development work isn't just about working on the ground, but negotiating with those on the positions of power. Praying for them and may peace reign again soon. #education #Scotland #edutooter #reflection
