Poverty has different faces - a small farmer who can no longer afford fertilizer or seeds, a youth entrepreneur falling into debt and cannot keep their business open, a family who cannot afford flood or health insurance to face a disaster... Recovery, rebuild, return requires a cushion. @UNDP looks at what sustains decent jobs and incomes, skills and incentives and more to address the multiple risks people face.   Some insights from practice on this Int'l Day for ending poverty: go.undp.org/xfc And stay tuned next week for the release of our @UNDPasiapac regional flagship report on Redefining Security for Development.

At #UNGA81’s event with President Tô Lâm celebrating the special Viet Nam-UN partnership. @alexanderdecroo @UNDP with @unicefchief @unfpachief reflected on how progress has accelerated in the country, through policies and investments that have adapted to meet rapidly changing local and global realities. Viet Nam is a country that continues to transform. It is also a country that can help others transform. @UNDPVietNam @UNvietnam accompanies the nation's ambitious pathways to a secure, healthy and sustainable prosperity for all.

Using laser-based technology, @UNDP is helping Pacific Island countries create detailed 3D ridge-to-reef maps of their territories. This captures the lands above water, and the reefs and seabeds below. In #Tuvalu alone, 500 square kilometers of land, reefs and lagoons was accurately captured and mapped in just 30+ hours of flying! These maps help answer fundamental questions on which the future of Pacific Islands: How exposed are different communities to rising sea levels? Where will floodwaters flow? Which investments can provide the greatest protection? What are the safest locations for public infrastructure? How can insurance products best respond to climate risk? I agree with my colleagues @yusuketaishi @KribBKKmake that this effort should be conducted across the Pacific behind local demand. Read more here ➡️ go.undp.org/NgA

Moving Beyond Crises - do come visit this exhibit at the UN GA... We are surrounded by images of crisis. Too often, they blur into the background. Too often they only speak to one side of complicated stories... The Moving Beyond Crisis Exhibition at @UN HQ in NY invites us to pause and look again. Each photograph tells a deeper story of loss, hope and courage. Worth exploring, in person or online: undp.org/crisis/moving-beyon…
