Climate impacts in the Pacific erode livelihoods, food systems & cultural identity, driving people to move. A #UNTFHS seed investment in 2019 has since grown into an 18-Member State partnership mobilizing US$7 million to scale up regionally.

From Cabo Verde to Ciudad Juárez to Egypt: this week showed what it means to build cities for people, not people for cities. #HumanSecurity isn't applied from outside a city, it's a government deciding its people come first. #UNTFHS #UrbanOctober

Half the world lives in cities, but for hundreds of millions, opportunity stays out of reach. A #UNTFHS programme in Ciudad Juárez & Durban built the Urban Safety & #HumanSecurity Monitor, reaching 5.2M residents through proactive, people-centred planning.

#HumanSecurity is really about putting people at the center. Before a neighborhood, before a city, before a policy, there is a household, the starting point of human development itself. Grace Chikumo-Mtonga on where security actually begins. #UNTFHS

"Block-by-Block" is turning Cabo Verde's most vulnerable communities into co-creators of their own development, using video gaming as a planning tool. 225,000+ people reached, now expanding into social housing across new municipalities. #HumanSecurity #UNTFHS

Looking back at #WUF13 in Baku, Dr. Alexandra Abello Colak of @LSEGeography explains how the #HumanSecurity approach helps cities understand risks in context, listen to communities, and shape solutions that respond to people’s realities. #UrbanOctober

When housing, livelihoods, health & tenure are treated as separate mandates, gains stay fragile. Egypt's 2025-26 plan shows what changes when a government treats #HumanSecurity as an operating principle, not a policy add-on. #UNTFHS #UrbanOctober

What does it mean to put people at the center of how we build cities? Juma Assiago of @UNHABITAT reflects on how #HumanSecurity can reshape urban development and housing by addressing vulnerabilities and grounding efforts in local realities. #UrbanOctober

The Housing & Human Security for All Model responds with a dual strategy: top-down protection and bottom-up empowerment, already proven in Tripoli, Mexico & South Africa, and beyond. #HumanSecurity #UNTFHS

Looking back at #WUF13 in Baku, Dr. Alexandra Abello Colak of @LSEIRDept explains how the #HumanSecurity approach helps cities understand risks in context, listen to communities, and shape solutions that respond to people’s realities. #UrbanOctober

🏠 Housing shapes our security, health and opportunities. #HumanSecurity connects these needs and gives communities a voice in their future. #UrbanOctober #UNTFHS

3 billion people lack access to adequate housing. 1.1 billion live in informal settlements. This #WorldHabitatDay, #UNTFHS is showing how the #HumanSecurity approach turns housing into a strategic foundation for resilient, inclusive cities. #UrbanOctober

Relatively modest catalytic financing to test and scale integrated solutions. #UNTFHS's Liberia programme, 5 UN agencies, 1.3M people reached, shows what that looks like in practice. #HumanSecurity #UNGA81

Can multilateralism deliver tangible results for people? In Syria, #UNTFHS's Area-Based Return Support programme connects services, livelihoods, peacebuilding & institutional capacity for a locally grounded & nationally driven response. #HumanSecurity #UNGA81

Prevention needs to be operational, not just a principle. In Trujillo, Peru, #UNTFHS trained 75 police officers, 180 community leaders & 520 health workers, reaching 11,750 people with a replicable model. #HumanSecurity #UNGA81

#UNGA81: interconnected risks demand interconnected responses. In northern Ghana, #UNTFHS puts this into practice. Among the results: 1.3M+ reached, local priorities in district plans, 10 boreholes for ~400 farmers, & 384 with livelihood skills. Tangible results. Lasting impact.

"People don't want slogans. People want solutions to their problems." Paraguay at #UNGA81. In Minya, Egypt, #UNTFHS turned that call into 24 locally owned action plans reaching 64,000+ people, before crises take hold. #HumanSecurity

At #UNGA81, leaders are confronting conflict, climate shocks, inequality and rapid change. #HumanSecurity offers a proven, practical way to turn priorities into action for people. #UN80 #UNTFHS
