AI is moving faster than many of our policies and institutions. We cannot let it run on autopilot. We have to steer it. And one test matters above all: does it make people’s lives better? At #DigitalUNGA, @UNDP and @ITU brought leaders and changemakers together to ask how technology can advance development and improve lives. AI may define this decade. But humanity must define AI.

Amid record levels of conflict and global instability, investing in conflict prevention & peacebuilding has never been more urgent. With support from the EC’s Foreign Policy Instruments (FPI), UNDP helps restore stability, rebuild resilient communities.

Today at the @EP_ForeignAff Committee, we had an exchange of views on the EU-UN partnership for peacebuilding in the face of global instability 🇪🇺🇺🇳. Multilateralism and investing in peacebuilding are clearly a smart business model in times of growing rivalries. 1/2

Development is our first line of defence. Inaction has a price. And it is paid by the most vulnerable. I’m here at the #G7 Development Ministers’ Meeting in Paris. These are my 3 priorities.

💫Yesterday we wrapped up a wonderful panel on local leadership in preventing & addressing internal displacement at the #ForumofMayors. 🏢 Internal displacement is mainly an urban phenomenon & local authorities play a key role as first responders. Partnerships are key. #FoM2025
