#COP29Baku In a side event organised by @UNHumanRights, our CP @rabebalouii highlighted how climate change disproportionately impacts young people, women, and children, placing their livelihoods and economic stability at risk and forcing millions from their homes.
@UNmigration
Seoul is a reminder that innovation and partnership go together.
Grateful to the Republic of Korea for its support of @UNMigration - and for hosting the Global AI Hub to ensure responsible AI helps protect people before crisis hits. 🇰🇷
Glad to be in Tokyo with Japan's Prime Minister @JPN_PMO, @antonioguterres and heads of agencies as Japan hosts a global @UN leaders’ meeting.
Grateful for Japan’s partnership and its strong support for multilateral cooperation and communities displaced around the world.

In 2024, 91 million people needed safe #shelter. Tents provide urgent relief, but we must go further. When crises strike, shelters help to:
✅ Protect privacy & health
✅ Boost recovery efforts
✅ Promote stability
Let’s keep supporting this vital work! https://t.co/nWsZYX8ySe
In Port-au-Prince, I met people who’ve been displaced multiple times by violence.
Their resilience is extraordinary. But resilience must not be mistaken for a solution. These communities urgently need protection, shelter, and support. #Haiti 🇭🇹
Djibouti is hosting a national dialogue with government and partners to integrate migration into climate change adaptation strategies.
In a region facing recurrent droughts and water scarcity, this is key to integrating climate-induced mobility into national adaptation plans.
A highlight today: meeting the IOM teams in #Haiti. They work under extreme pressure — in hard-to-reach areas, they're often the only UN presence.
I'm grateful for and humbled by their courage, dedication and commitment to the people we serve.
Yesterday, IOM held preparatory discussions alongside @Trade_Kenya ahead of the upcoming #SimplifiedTradeRegime negotiations between #Kenya and #Ethiopia, aiming to streamline border procedures, support SMEs and promote equitable trade, particularly benefiting #womentraders.
“We ask the international community not to look away. These families cannot wait.”
Nearly 60,000 Afghans have been forcibly returned from #Pakistan in just two weeks. Urgent resources are needed to support those arriving with almost nothing.
