UNDP established the Social and Environmental Compliance Unit (SECU) to ensure accountability to individuals and communities. If you or your community believe you have been affected by a UNDP-supported activity, you can file a complaint with SECU. See: https://t.co/vkDkkHmUk3

Indigenous Peoples are the guardians of the Earth.
But mining, deforestation, disease and over tourism are destroying the lands and lives they’ve protected for generations.
Their rights, cultures, languages and lands must be respected and protected.

🕊️ On #InternationalDayofPeace 2025, SECU reaffirms our commitment to building a better world! We recognize that peace requires work, reflection, and empowering the world's most vulnerable. 📣By empowering others, we lay the groundwork for sustainable peace.
Our warring world is crying out for peace.
Lives are being ripped apart, childhoods extinguished & human dignity discarded amidst the cruelty of war.
Let's silence the guns, end the suffering & build bridges.
