By 2010, the tiger population was as low as 3,200. Today, their numbers are rising.

Together with @theGEF, partners and communities, we are working to protect habitats and unlock new conservation finance to support tiger range countries.

Today marks a key step toward lasting solutions for displaced people and host communities.

In Tokyo, with @BarhamSalih, we signed the new @UNDP – UNHCR Joint Collaboration Framework.

We will strengthen livelihoods, systems and support beyond crisis.

When crisis hits, recovery cannot wait.

Through #REVIVE, the Republic of Korea is helping communities rebuild infrastructure, services and livelihoods.

Delighted to meet Foreign Minister Hyun Cho to discuss how to strengthen early recovery support in crisis settings.

Pacific youth have pushed climate action onto the global legal stage! They presented their case that sea-level rise, extreme weather events are not distant risks, but tough daily realities.
So now there is legal opinion and a vote in favor - what next?
@UNDP_Pacific rep @TuyaLive looks at how the Pacific SIDS are putting climate justice to practice.

What does @UNDPasiapac do across such diverse contexts?
We are where it matters most: supporting communities and countries to build capabilities, recover fast when disasters strike, adapt to shocks, and move human development forward.
Progress is never a straight line, and we must listen, adjust, and partner to support those who need us most.
@alexanderdecroo interacts here with @samuelrizk @Ayshaniee @Norimasa_UN @sarodriques @SaraFOlivella to ask these @UNDP reps what results they are most proud of...

@UNDPaf’s annual socioeconomic review is just out!

Mounting pressures on most families, as local economies shrink in some parts of the country, while overall GDP grows, large scale returns add pressures on poor households, climate shocks and shrinking aid stretch fragile systems.

Jobs with access to business finance, extended basic services, many more opportunities for women - these are essential to sustain basic progress and stability.

The case for global development is clear.

Investing early reduces risk.
Investing together multiplies impact.
Investing consistently builds resilience and stability.

See what @UNDP and our partners made possible in 2025.

Our global reach matters.

But what gives it meaning is the expertise behind it.

With a presence in 38 countries and territories in Asia-Pacific, @UNDP teams bring experience shaped by realities on the ground.

Grateful for the chance to learn from colleagues across the region.

[UNDP Myanmar @UNDP_Myanmar]

“When REVIVE came, I felt relieved.”

In #Myanmar, following the devastating March 2025 earthquake, @UNDP and @MOFAkr_eng are supporting communities to rebuild homes, recover essential services and restore livelihoods.

This is early recovery. This is #REVIVE.

[UNDP Myanmar @UNDP_Myanmar]

A year since the earthquake, the spirit of recovery is stronger than ever. @UNDP_Myanmar, @FAO in Myanmar & @mercycorps are working together to restore the livelihoods that sustain daily life.

Grateful to @AOSISChair for a strong exchange.

From climate resilience and debt to energy access and the blue economy, Small Island Developing States face tough choices.

@UNDP works with them to turn solutions into results.

[Alexander De Croo 🇺🇳 @alexanderdecroo]

We will not stabilize the world with military intervention alone.

Development is hard power. Every dollar invested in prevention can save up to $103 in future crisis spending.

That is not charity. That is smart security policy. #MSC2026

As millions across in Asia and the Pacific celebrate the Lunar New Year, I send my warmest greetings to you and your families! 🎑
In a world that can feel so unsettled at times, may the celebrations carry the joy and hopefulness we want to see.
This Year of the Horse is also one of energy and movement, even if restless at times! Let's use our energies wisely to move more good things forward this year...🐎

Ahead of International Day of Women and Girls in Science, I had a conversation with three young civic‑tech leaders from the Philippines, Pakistan and Viet Nam.
These problem-solvers did not start in tech, but as they got into trying to understand and fix every-day obstacles in their neighborhoods, and got organized to respond, tech became a key part of the solution.
Read the start of their journeys here: https://t.co/no9RmKJQEH
And stay tuned this week as we post short interviews which capture their stories 'live'! #WomenInScience

On the International Day of Clean Energy, we highlight how solar power is saving lives in AFG.
Through @UNDPaf’s SESEHA project, two hospitals in Samangan now run on 100 kW solar power, delivering reliable care to over 19,800 patients each month.

On the #WorldCleanEnergyDay, Una is highlighting how clean, reliable energy is strengthening healthcare in Timor-Leste, from solar-powered medicine and vaccine storage in Dili to 24-hour services in rural clinics. UNDP is supporting national efforts to build resilience through renewable energy.

Special thanks to the people and Government of Japan for partnering with UNDP on this green transformation journey for the people of the Pacific.

@ADBPresident and @alexanderdecroo met in Davos, to reinforce the growing partnership between @ADB_HQ and @UNDP.
Together, we work to advance broader economic prosperity and energy security, post disaster and crisis recovery, and ensure improved human development outcomes.
Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal and Sri Lanka illustrate some of the ongoing efforts with more in the pipeline for 2026.

AFG is among the world’s most climate-vulnerable countries, facing rising sand & dust storms, prolonged droughts & degrading land.

UNDP is expanding these efforts to protect soil, water & the communities who depend on them.

AI is rewriting the rules of development and the 🇰🇷Korean launch of @UNDP new regional report on The Next Great Divergence sparked a rich dialogue on how to make this transformation work for everyone.
Discussions highlighted 🇰🇷’s potential as an AI frontrunner in the region, with the combined capabilities on tech and innovation, data and systems, and the roadmaps and regulatory frameworks that can help countries who need to catch-up, to build robust digital and AI foundations.
Here with @UNDPSPC @mofa_kr @MOFAkr_eng @PrimeMinisterKR @withmsit @busanandbeyond and many others.
