It was my pleasure welcoming many partners and friends from missions, the UN & beyond to celebrate #GermanUnityDay. Germany’s reunification is an event which carries a valuable message for all nations gathered here at the UN in NY - that deep divisions can be overcome peacefully.

👋 from the 🇺🇳UN International Bazaar - with cakes and bread #MadeInGermany, as part of the EU stand. Thanks to the spouses from all delegations who make this special event possible. Proceeds will benefit UN humanitarian relief programs.

Unlike the rest of the #UnitedNations family, the #ACABQ runs a lighter schedule than usual during #UNGA78 High Level Week. We still get close protection from the U.S. Coast Guard in front of our offices in the #UN Secretariat building. Thank you for your service, @USCG

Thank you @anna_ms84 & @TransAlt for a great initiative to promote cycling. Congratulations to team @UN of staff & diplomats who won first award of Transportation Alternative’s 2023 Bike Month Challenge. I was honoured to represent the UN along side the President of Staff Union.

[Anna Melendez @anna_ms84]

It was such a pleasure to visit the @UN Headquarters last week and present them with the award 🏆 as winners of @TransAlt's 🚴2023 Bike Month Challenge.

Initiatives like this build community and celebrate the multiple benefits of choosing to ride a bike.

Many firsts at UNHQ in New York today: first time glass bikes, first time for my e-bike inside the compound, first time a bike parade around the rotunda and first time (and hopefully not the last) a full bike rack near the entrance. #WorldBicycleDay #UN

[Udo Fenchel @foeniculum]

“#WorldBicycleDay is a call to action, urging us to embrace the bicycle as a sustainable mode of transportation.” The #UN community came together today, to celebrate #micromobility but also to address challenges like transit accessibility, inclusiveness and safety. #biketowork

Despite “lofty” climate goals, and today being its annual World Bicycle Day, the United Nations bans cyclists on its campus

I discussed with the Irish public broadcaster @rtenews about environmentally-friendly mobility and bike access at the @UN. Beyond any festive gestures during #WorldBycicleDay we need to continuously connect our lofty political objectives with the shifting trends of our societies

[RTÉ News @rtenews]

The UN is gearing up to celebrate World Bicycle Day tomorrow - although some cyclists point out that UN headquarters in New York isn't exactly a bike friendly workplace. #WorldBicycleDay

Durante su misión en Panamá, la Comisión Consultiva en Asuntos Administrativos y de Presupuesto #ACABQ de 🇺🇳 sostuvo reuniones sobre diversos temas relacionados al desarrollo y al trabajo de las Naciones Unidas en el país.

[Udo Fenchel @foeniculum]

“Oh, wie schön ist Panama”, a country with huge potential but also facing enormous challenges. During its visit the #ACABQ discussed wealth distribution, migration, infrastructure and financial matters. It also appreciated the role of #Panama as important #UN hub for the region.
