Carl Skau assumes the role of Acting Executive Director of WFP. 

As he leads the organization through this transition, Skau will continue to advocate on behalf of the most vulnerable at a time when humanitarian needs are surging, crises are multiplying, and the resources  to respond have fallen short.

“Diplomacy is not reality TV. The world is not a casino. Statecraft is not a real estate deal.”

@UNReliefChief @TFletcher tells me that as the war with Iran continues to escalate, “We’ll be paying for this war for years to come…

“We’re deeply frustrated… that’s diplomatic speak for saying we’re furious. Because rich people are winning out of this. The arms dealers are winning�� And the people I serve are losing.”

The UN Country Team mission to Tonga 🇹🇴 began with HRH Crown Prince Tupouto‘a ‘Ulukalala & leaders, advancing the 2025–27 Cooperation Plan on climate, economy, education, health, gender & youth.

After a strong quake, all UN staff were safely evacuated.

[Pacific Islands Forum @ForumSEC]

Palau’s Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Environment, Hon Steven Victor shares some reflections on the importance of having the Pre COP 31 Meetings in the Pacific on the margins of the Pacific Climate Change Ministers Talanoa.

“Having Pre COP meetings in the Pacific is a good opportunity for the world to understand the plight of the Pacific people” – Hon Victor.

[WFP Asia Pacific @WFPAsiaPacific]

WFP and the Asian Development Bank have struck a major cooperation deal to transform food systems across Asia-Pacific.

This could redefine how the region tackles hunger, nutrition, and climate shocks.
