@airvistara staff at times are so rude and so good, two sides of the coin. While Mr. Pabitra at BBI, prefers 2 spend his time over his phone and not attend to customers. Ms. Renuka at BOM, ensures that she walks the mile to make sure that the passenger made it to their flight.

We congratulate @cdri_world on launching at #COP27 the Infrastructure Resilience Accelerator Fund.

In the face of #ClimateRisks, this fund can help the most risk-prone countries upgrade the resilience of their infrastructure.

[Kamal Kishore @HeadUNDRR]

At #COP27, I was honoured to join @antonioguterres and @WMO to launch an Action Plan to make #EarlyWarningsForAll a reality.

Its funding and implementation are critical to creating a world with #ZeroClimateDisasters.

[Selwin Hart @SelwinHart]

Ahead of #COP27, I met with USG Li of @UNDESA & @HeadUNDRR as we discussed ways to enhance @UN system collaboration to achieve @antonioguterres’ #ClimateAction priorities.

In tackling the climate crisis & leaving noone behind, fairness & equity must be at the centre of efforts.
