We're facing a development crisis, and finance is at the heart of it.

We have the solutions.

We need political will and accelerated action now.

Failing people is not an option.

Today is a milestone for UN trade & development, marking our rebranding as @UN Trade & Development and our 60th anniversary.

We want our vision of the global economy to be understood & our voice heard in global economic debates where decisions that affect developing countries are made.

Everywhere, young women are rising in politics and society.

They are advocating for equal rights and making a difference.

New generations of women fill me with optimism for the future. bit.ly/48XUrc5

We should not see women as a vulnerable group. We are agents of change, agents of good, of community building, of economy building, of society building.

If their potential is unleashed societies will be much better off than they are today. bit.ly/48XUrc5 #InvestInWomen

We urgently need action from the global financial system to address the intersection of debt, climate & development in Africa.

Ahead of the #SummitoftheFuture and #G20Brazil my call is clear: Strengthen Africa's voice, ensure sustainable development. #COM2024

3.3 billion people live in countries that spend more in servicing the debt than in paying for schools or hospitals.

I congratulate #G20Brazil presidency and its priorities – fighting poverty & hunger, the energy transition & sustainable development, and governance reform.

Very busy weeks at #G20 Brazil .

The priorities of Brazil's G20 Brasil presidency – fighting poverty & hunger, the energy transition & sustainable development, and governance reform – could not be more urgent.

It is imperative to update the global governance system. #G20

#WeTheWomen have the potential to be the true architects of peace processes and conflict resolution. Today at our Female Leaders Network at #MSC2024 we discussed our campaign to mobilize broad support for feminist politics and female leadership.

We need to shape the multilateral system for a more equal and sustainable world.

To truly tackle poverty we must seriously fight inequality.

UNCTAD was born with South-South cooperation in our DNA.

We are strongly committed to building on that history in support of sustainable and inclusive development.

We need to strengthen a more development-friendly multilateralism, with sustainable development at its centre.
