#WCO calls for heightened vigilance in #Customs operations to fight environmental crimes. By enforcing MEAs like #MontrealProtocol & @CITES, Customs can contribute to curbing climate change & biodiversity loss. Let's protect the planet together! #WED2024 wcoomd.org/en/media/newsroom…

The PSCG plays a key role, in a spirit of partnership between Customs and industry, in the WCO's efforts to create positive change in the global Customs environment. wcoomd.org/en/media/newsroom…

🤝Let's advocate for the changes needed to ensure that law enforcement agencies & criminal justice systems are equipped & empowered to confront #WildlifeCrime effectively & mobilize political will to support our mission: a WORLD FREE OF WILDLIFE CRIME. #FromSeizureToProsecution

The #IntlForestDay2024 reminds us of the need of protecting the world’s forests & the crucial role Customs plays in identifying legal timber trade & dismantling criminal networks through information exchange & collaboration, with the support of various innovative technologies.

It is essential to enhance strategies to identify illicit trade in hazardous materials. The WCO is committed to environmental protection & the ongoing work on new HS codes represents a crucial step in enhancing Customs' ability to identify & manage sensitive goods effectively.

I would like to thank Matthias Petschke from the @EU_Taxud who highlighted, during the 44th WCO Enforcement Committee Session, the essential role of international cooperation in advancing customs enforcement & facilitating legitimate trade across borders. wcoomd.org/en/media/newsroom…

The fight against those who would circumvent or manipulate the system isn’t one that Customs fights alone; our partner agencies work alongside us, complement our efforts, and share the mission to protect society from the daily dangers to border security. wcoomd.org/en/media/newsroom…

#GenderEquality & #Diversity are questions of rights & prerequisites for sustainable development. In #Customs environment, these are contributors to operational effectiveness because confronting the most complex challenges requires that we bring the widest array of perspectives.

Had a successful 59th MENA #Customs DGs Regional Meeting in Cairo, Egypt 🇪🇬, focusing on engaging MENA Members on the @WCO_OMD modernization plan. It was a great opportunity for the Directors General to share their ideas to enrich the Organization’s views.

Our pursuit of #GenderEquality and #Diversity isn't just a question of human rights; it's a performance strategy. When we embrace diversity, we unlock innovation, creativity, and resilience. 👉 wcoomd.org/en/media/newsroom… #WCO #Customs #GEOAT

Today we stand at crossroads for #WildlifeConservation. The #WCO is championing a future where technology and collaboration form the backbone of our efforts to protect our planet’s #biodiversity. ➡️ wcoomd.org/en/media/newsroom… #Customs #WWD2024 #ConnectingPeopleAndPlanet
