#WCO calls for heightened vigilance in #Customs operations to fight environmental crimes. By enforcing MEAs like #MontrealProtocol & @CITES, Customs can contribute to curbing climate change & biodiversity loss. Let's protect the planet together! #WED2024

Successful discussions at the WCO AP Heads of Customs Administrations Conference. It was a great opportunity to present the progress made in the WCO's Strategic Plan 2022/2025 & the development of its proposed modernization plan, & to listen to Members’ views.⤵️(1/2)
🤝Let's advocate for the changes needed to ensure that law enforcement agencies & criminal justice systems are equipped & empowered to confront #WildlifeCrime effectively & mobilize political will to support our mission: a WORLD FREE OF WILDLIFE CRIME. #FromSeizureToProsecution
The #IntlForestDay2024 reminds us of the need of protecting the world’s forests & the crucial role Customs plays in identifying legal timber trade & dismantling criminal networks through information exchange & collaboration, with the support of various innovative technologies.
It is essential to enhance strategies to identify illicit trade in hazardous materials. The WCO is committed to environmental protection & the ongoing work on new HS codes represents a crucial step in enhancing Customs' ability to identify & manage sensitive goods effectively.
I would like to thank Matthias Petschke from the @EU_Taxud who highlighted, during the 44th WCO Enforcement Committee Session, the essential role of international cooperation in advancing customs enforcement & facilitating legitimate trade across borders.

The fight against those who would circumvent or manipulate the system isn’t one that Customs fights alone; our partner agencies work alongside us, complement our efforts, and share the mission to protect society from the daily dangers to border security.

#GenderEquality & #Diversity are questions of rights & prerequisites for sustainable development. In #Customs environment, these are contributors to operational effectiveness because confronting the most complex challenges requires that we bring the widest array of perspectives.
Had a successful 59th MENA #Customs DGs Regional Meeting in Cairo, Egypt 🇪🇬, focusing on engaging MENA Members on the @WCO_OMD modernization plan. It was a great opportunity for the Directors General to share their ideas to enrich the Organization’s views.
Our pursuit of #GenderEquality and #Diversity isn't just a question of human rights; it's a performance strategy. When we embrace diversity, we unlock innovation, creativity, and resilience.
