Snow leopards play an important role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem, and support income generation for conservation.

With @theGEF & partners, we work with communities to protect snow leopards, while generating resources for shared prosperity.

Reimagining a better future is the first step to building it.

For over six decades, the villagers in Karau Village, Papua New Guinea, have fought a losing battle against the rising sea. Their shoreline has gradually vanished, as homes flood and livelihoods become increasingly endangered.

On #WorldOceanDay, see how a new era of human thriving is ahead of us if we advance hand-in-hand with nature - and @UNDPinPNG is leading the way: https://t.co/CBcUNvxXF9

What if the most powerful piece of climate infrastructure in the Pacific is a coral reef? 🪸

For Pacific communities, protecting the ocean is about resilience.

This #WorldOceanDay, we're reimagining what climate finance looks like. https://t.co/sHd8rvXVib

A new era of human thriving is ahead of us if we advance hand-in-hand with nature.

@UNDPinPNG is leading the way #ForPeopleForPlanet - respecting, protecting, and repairing our relationship with the natural world.

It was the worst environmental disaster in Mauritius’ history.

A cargo vessel ran aground, tearing a catastrophic gash through the reef and spilling oil.

On #WorldOceanDay, take a look at @UNDPMauritius @theGEF efforts to restore critical coral reefs: https://t.co/0GI5dJ2sOr

[UN Development @UNDP]

Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean, but support over 25% of all life in it—the highest biodiversity of any ecosystem on the planet.

On #WorldEnvironmentDay, take a look at how communities supported by @UNDPMauritius @theGEF are protecting them: https://t.co/dHEqnqaGRb

[UN Development @UNDP]

In Colombia, communities that once feared the jaguar are now its greatest protectors.

By building ecotourism and monitoring wildlife, local people are proving that conservation and economic security do not have to be at odds.

When nature thrives, so do people. 🐆 https://t.co/FqnXcQ5TQW

[Alexander De Croo 🇺🇳 @alexanderdecroo]

Climate and nature action is as much a development priority as it is an environmental one.

Driving growth, improving energy security and strengthening resilience.

We must act faster and more boldly.
For people and for the planet.

When reliable clean energy reaches remote communities, everything changes.

Health care improves, livelihoods grow, and women gain more opportunities to lead. https://t.co/qUNtB3aAau

#WED2026

[UNDP Planet @UNDPplanet]

In building resilience to climate change, seawalls, early warning systems and drought-resistant crops matter.

But so do the people and institutions behind them.

As we celebrate #WED2026, see why capacity building is critical for lasting adaptation: https://t.co/racPRaB6RA

Every year, the world loses tropical forests at a rate that would not be accepted for any other system that the global economy depends on.

We must treat forests as the vital global infrastructure they are - and invest in them: https://t.co/eKxnMU8Lp1

#WED2026

[UNDP in Asia and the Pacific @UNDPasiapac]

“We are from the wetlands. If all our mangroves are gone, how can we survive? We depend on the mangroves for food, and it also protects us from the sea”

For over six decades, these villagers in Papua New Guinea have fought a losing battle against the rising sea. This #WorldEnvironmentDay, see how they're: Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future.

This is a story of cooperation and diligence, a vast array of expertise, a pool of talent and skills as wide-ranging and vast as the 40 million square km of ocean area they’re tasked to protect.

This #WorldEnvironmentDay🐟get inspired by a success story 20 years in the making.

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, warning signals are everywhere.

This is the moment to act for our environment & for our future.
