Ett stort svek från Centern idag. SD får tungt inflytande. Det går inte heller att bara fortsätta när uppgörelser och kompromisser inte håller ens fram till formellt beslut.

[Peter Eriksson @MPPeterE]

Thank you Arnold!

[Peter Eriksson @MPPeterE]

Today I am resigning as Minister after more than 30 years in politics. It is my own decision. Being Minister for Int Development Cooperation is perhaps the most meaningful thing I have done. It has been a fantastic experience. Thank you all whom I´ve met, from all places of the🌍

[Peter Eriksson @MPPeterE]

Jag slutar i regeringen och som statsråd idag. Något av det mest meningsfulla uppdrag man kan ha. Men allt har sin tid. Och nu får det räcka med heltidspolitiker för mig. Lycka till och tack till alla, både vänner och ovänner!

Biståndsviljan är stark och ökar igen efter en nedgång i fjol.

[Sida @Sida]

I Sverige är biståndet en procent av bruttonationalinkomsten, BNI. I @Sida's nya undersökning svarar 55,8 % att det är en lagom nivå eller bör öka, medan 35,8 % anser att biståndet bör minska eller slopas. 8,4 % svarar ”vet ej”.

FN inkluderar även miljö-och klimataspekter i nytt index för mänsklig utveckling. Äntligen, kan man säga! Men alla länder är inte glada. https://t.co/tLSlRb1fnY

For 70 years, UNHCR has been providing crucial support to refugees. We are proud to have contributed over USD 100 million in core support to @refugees in 2020. We call on all countries to continue providing flexible funds to help protect the most vulnerable. #UNHCR70

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

1950-2020: UNHCR turns 70 today.

We are proud of our work but with the number of refugees and displaced rising every year, this is not a birthday to be celebrated.

I launch a challenge to world leaders — help us put an end to forced displacement, and get out of business.

FN:s Generalsekreterare utropar nödläge för klimatet. Världens länder måste göra betydligt mer. https://t.co/XBiklm06rh

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I call on leaders worldwide to declare a State of Climate Emergency in their countries until carbon neutrality is reached.

Five years after the #ParisAgreement, we are still not going in the right direction.

Let’s make the promise of a net zero world a reality.

[Peter Eriksson @MPPeterE]

UK is taking steps against climate change. Good if they can be more of leaders in 2021 and on the meeting in Glasgow.

I am so proud to be a friend of this man and to be a part of the nation that are financing WFP more than others per capita. Congratulations David! https://t.co/9BY79deqEo

Happy to accept the challenge from @VilleSkinnari on #HumanRightsDay2020 ! #Humanrights, democracy & #ruleoflaw must be at the core when we #recoverbetter and join efforts against #Covid-19. I hope @Atayeshe, @ASteiner & @phumzileunwomen will join the challenge.

Today marks the International Anti-Corruption Day #IACD2020. Corruption thrives during times of crisis and neglecting anti-corruption measures in the #COVID19 response puts the lives of the most vulnerable at risk. Let’s stand #UnitedAgainstCorruption

It is getting worse for millions already hungry and desperate in Yemen.

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

Everyday, doctors & nurses are saving lives in Al-Sadaqah hospital.

But time is running out.

Without urgent funding, hundreds of thousands of children might die in Yemen.

[Peter Eriksson @MPPeterE]

Alarming new IPC-report on #Yemen says 16 million Yemenis will face acute hunger by early 2021. Many are already living in famine conditions. Famine can still be averted but the humanitarian response is severely underfunded. We must all step up before it's too late @WFP @WFPChief
