Corruption's impact extends beyond financial aspects. It contributes to the loss of natural resources, exacerbates poverty & inequality, crumbles trust & social cohesion, while undermining economic & political stability. #EndCorruption#GlobalImpact#SDGs
#Indigenous communities fight against #deforestation on their lands, protecting their ancestral territories. These communities employ effective conservation strategies, patrol forests & even take legal action against govts & developers. #natureaction#climateaction#SDGs
Corruption drains over 5% of global GDP, amounting to a staggering $3 trillion lost in public spending. It's time to take a stand and fight for a world free from this destructive force. #EndCorruption#SDGs
#Corruption undermines trust, social cohesion, economic stability & the conservation of natural resources. Disproportionate impacts on women, the poor & vulnerable groups worsen inequality and erode human capital. #SDGs#GlobalGoals#2030Agenda
Encouraging progress has been made in implementing measures to combat corruption, with improved legislative frameworks & the utilization of ICTs & data. However, sustained anti-corruption efforts & tailored approaches are necessary to tackle remaining challenges. #SDGs
#Forests are not just ecosystems, but also homes for #Indigenous peoples. Let's understand, respect, and collaborate with Indigenous communities to protect and restore our forests.🌳 https://t.co/sINmKqokoh
Progress on #SDG16 is an essential requirement for achieving all #SDGs. Let's unite for a corruption-free and #sustainablefuture. https://t.co/I6ohTQWfcr
The high level of #corruption around the world is the biggest obstacle to achieving the SDGs. The amount of 3 trillion could cover the cost of saving our Planet. Agenda #2030 is committed to these goals and we must support it as much as we can. https://t.co/DLmNgS5yPP
Corruption obstructs the realization of the #2030Agenda, but a strong response anchored in #SDG16 can pave the way forward. We must combat #corruption that disproportionately affects women and vulnerable groups, wearing down human capital! #GlobalGoals
Making an oil executive a head of #COP28 shows that integrity of #ClimateTalks is compromised. It was high time lawmakers took some action & showed that #ClimateAction needs leadership that will prioritize the planet over profit. #SultanalJaberMustGo
Knock #corruption out! Don't give or take bribes! It is more important than you think. Corruption drains more than 5% of the global GDP! And this money could be used to make #Earth a better place - to achieve #SDGs! #GlobalGoals#2030Agenda
Plastic pollution is more than just a waste management issue.
It is a climate issue.
It is a nature issue.
It is a health issue.
To protect people and the planet, we must #BeatPlasticPollution.
#Indigenous people are the guardians of our planet's biodiversity. They own and protect 25% of the world's land, which harbors 80% of its #biodiversity. Yet, extractive practices endanger their rights and critical ecosystems! We must protect their ancestral lands! #natureaction
