📍UN Human Security session on Unlocking Social Development & Human Security 🏡Rania Hedeya from UN-Habitat stresses that aligning housing strategies w/ SDGs is key. Success depends on coordinated action & on recognizing housing as a public good & a human right. #SocialSummit2025

📍UN Human Security session on Unlocking Social Development & Human Security Alexandra Abello Colak, visiting fellow LSE, underlines that the 🏡 crisis is global but deeply local. A Human Security lens reframes housing as a foundation for dignity, safety & peace. #SocialSummit2025

Special Adviser on #HumanSecurity Yukio Takasu met with H.E. Mr. Jerry Buttimer, Minister of State, Dept. of Rural & Community Development of Ireland, on the sidelines of #WSSD2025 to discuss a human-centered, multidimensional & localized approach to social development & #SDGs.

Today at #WSSD2025, the UNTFHS, UN-Habitat, UCLG & partners explored how housing can drive social development. From Medellín to Durban, Canada to Lebanon, people-centered approaches are reducing inequality, building resilience & leaving no one behind. #Housing4All #HumanSecurity

🌱 The 1.5°C limit isn’t just a climate target, it’s about people’s lives, livelihoods & dignity. At #COP30, #HumanSecurity must guide action: protect the vulnerable, build resilience, and put well-being at the heart of every decision.

Inclusive governance will feature at #COP30. In Paraguay’s Chaco, the #UNTFHS model shows how Indigenous, local & private actors can co-create climate solutions, integrating traditional knowledge, jobs & resilience through true multi-stakeholder action. #HumanSecurity#COP30

Hosting #COP30 in Belém highlights nature as a front-line climate solution. In #Ghana, the #UNTFHS shows how restoring ecosystems, supporting forest livelihoods & blending local knowledge with modern planning can strengthen resilience & well-being. #HumanSecurity

Prevention protects lives and resources. Through #UNTFHS, communities worldwide build resilience before crises strike, producing measurable gains. This creates stability and opens pathways for national & regional prevention efforts. #HumanSecurity #Prevention #Resilience

Human security makes global commitments real. From Durban to Medellín, data guides investment and participation shapes recovery. With #UNTFHS, global priorities become local innovation that drives systemic, inclusive change. #HumanSecurity #Localization #SDGs

#UNTFHS brings governments, United Nations entities & communities together under one framework. Collaboration reduces duplication, amplifies results & strengthens governance, showing what collective action can achieve. #HumanSecurity #Partnerships

Today’s challenges demand agile, inclusive and comprehensive solutions. The #UNTFHS meets this need, using seed & pooled funding to support tailored programmes and connect governments, UN agencies, civil society, and communities to tackle the multilayered crises of our era.

Institutions coordinate, but #integration remains elusive. #HumanSecurity aligns agendas — peace, climate, health, development — under one logic: protecting dignity and opportunity. It’s not about merging mandates, but aligning intent for impact. #Partnership #UN

Embedding #HumanSecurity in national policy and budgeting helps governments scale risk-informed approaches, strengthen resilience, and make lasting investments in people amid interconnected crises. #Resilience #Governance #RiskInformed

Along the Dominican Republic’s southwest coast, fishing sustains life but poverty, dwindling stocks & transnational crime threaten it. A #UNTFHS programme with UN Office on Drugs & Crime & Food and Agriculture Organization is helping communities build resilience & safer futures #HumanSecurity

Along the Dominican coast, artisanal fishers live day to day. Storms, falling fish stocks, and economic fragility can push families into debt or the reach of crime. #HumanSecurity helps communities, authorities & ministries build trust, diversify livelihoods & reduce risks.

In DR’s coastal towns, crime takes root where stress is high and public safety is thin. Positioned on major trafficking routes, communities face layered risks. #HumanSecurity strengthens livelihoods, governance & early-warning to reduce vulnerabilities and rebuild trust. #UNTFHS

In a world of polycrises, siloed responses fail. Climate shocks, debt stress & displacement reinforce each other & hit the communities all at once. #UNTFHS supports integrated action that protects livelihoods, safety & dignity. A proven approach for today’s interconnected risks.

325+ programmes, 110+ countries, 108M people. #UNTFHS proves the human security approach works across island states, crisis-affected regions, urban & rural pressures. As new risks emerge, we need funding that adapts fast and protects people where systems are under strain.

The best crisis response is prevention. Yet most funding arrives only after disaster. #UNTFHS invests early: food security before famine, cohesion before conflict, resilience before disaster. Prevention protects people and systems before emergencies escalate.
