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

On this #WorldEnvironmentalDay, SECU highlights the importance of Standards 1 & 2 in UNDP’s Social and Environmental Standards. In protecting our planet, development projects must do no harm and actively safeguard both the environment and the local communities they serve.

Here at SECU, our compliance reviews help promote accountability by assessing whether UNDP-supported projects have been implemented in line with these standards.

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.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

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.

Peace cannot wait.
