Sweden doesn’t just talk about global challenges—we actively support the UN to address them. As a key contributor to the UN’s development system, Sweden provides voluntary financial support. In 2023, Sweden contributed 14.7B SEK to the UN development system, with 40% to core funding and the rest as multi-bi contributions aligned with government priorities.
Sweden partners with key UN agencies like UNDP, UNHCR, and UN Women to advance human rights, promote peace, and support sustainable development globally.
🔹 1.24B SEK to UNHCR – 3rd largest core donor
🔹 413M SEK to UNDP – 5th largest core donor
🔹 90M SEK to UN Women – largest bilateral donor
Delivering impactful results, driving change globally.

#COP29 concluded with progress on climate finance, carbon trading, and methane emissions—but the road ahead remains steep.
With 2024 set to be the hottest year in 125,000 years, it’s crucial that the promises made are turned into action: unep.org/news-and-stories/st…

Navigateurs du Vendée Globe, bon vent et bonne mer ! Faites-nous rêver !
Amoureux de l’océan, je vous donne rendez-vous en juin à Nice pour gagner ensemble l’autre course qui nous engage tous : mobiliser la communauté internationale pour protéger l’océan, notre bien commun.

No one can say they didn't know. No one can claim blindness to this suffering. No one can pretend their ears did not hear the cries of children.
But when it's over, and history books are written. Those who were silent or celebrated this, will say to their grandchildren: "Wasn't that a tragedy" "We had no idea of the horrors" "We never supported it"
"Had we known what was happening....".
Well technology has given us one wonderful tool: information. History will no longer be written by the victors, but the people of Palestine who documented and recorded every aspect of their torture and annihilation. Who documented and recorded this for the world to never forget, to expose silence as support and to make sure their plight will be told in one way, and one way only: the truth.

Hate speech and disinformation can spread quickly, both online & offline.
We all have a part to play in stopping it in its tracks.
Amplify facts, call out mis- and disinformation, and educate yourself & others to say #NoToHate.
