I stressed today at the joint meeting of the 2nd Committee and #ECOSOC that the resources needed to achieve sustainable development exist, but they are not reaching countries and communities at the scale, speed and affordability required.
The commitments made in Sevilla must be translated into action. Let us seize this opportunity to close the financing gap, accelerate SDG action, and build a more resilient, inclusive and sustainable future for all.” #GlobalGoals #SDGs #2030Agenda bit.ly/4eH0qr7
🏠 A safe home is not just a place to live - it is the foundation of dignity, security, and opportunity.
On #EndPoverty Day, let's advance safe, affordable housing and social inclusion so everyone has the chance to build a better future.

Now more than ever, we are reminded that the food systems of tomorrow are shaped by the actions and decisions we take today.
Innovation can turn challenges into opportunities when everyone, everywhere, has access to new ideas and solutions.
Together, we can embrace innovation today to build a more sustainable, resilient, and food-secure future for generations to come.

The role of #RuralWomen in our world is crucial, yet they are facing challenges that deeply impact their rights and resilience.
We must take action to support them by:
🗣️ Promoting rural women’s livelihoods, leadership, and rights
💲 Scaling up investments in rural areas
❌ Eliminating discriminatory laws and practices
Let’s empower rural women to build a more equitable, just, and sustainable planet for everyone 🌍 #Beijing30 @UN_Women
On 13 October, the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction reminds us: #ResilienceStartsAtHome.
No one should have to choose between safety and affordability. Governments, businesses and households all play a part in making homes safer.
Investing in resilient homes protects lives and advances the #SDGs, leaving no one behind. #DRRDay
I had a productive meeting with Dr. Björn Holmberg, the Executive Director of the Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation. We exchanged views on UN development reform system, including quality funding, country configuration and the regional reset.
It was an honor to meet today with UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed. (@AminaJMohammed) We discussed the UN development system reform, financing for development and #AI’s role in advancing the #SDGs. #GlobalGoals #2030Agenda
I delivered today an opening statement at the “High-level Meeting on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response.” I stressed that pandemics preparedness is crucial for advancing the #2030Agenda. It can advance progress across #SDGs, reduce inequalities and vulnerabilities. This calls for integrated and adequately financed action, with equity and sustained investment in resilient health systems, technology access, prevention and early warning. #GlobalGoals
At the Ministerial-Level Meeting of the Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Haiti, I stressed that, as the #2030Agenda for Sustainable Development reminds us, there can be no sustainable development without peace and no peace without sustainable development.
To restore stability in Haiti, we need to address the root causes of instability in a comprehensive, coordinated and sustained manner. This will also require that the Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan is adequately funded.
Our efforts must focus on the most vulnerable to ensure no one is left behind. These include, in particular, women, children and internally displaced persons. #GlobalGoals #SDGs #HaitiCantWait 🔗bit.ly/4ydBDCX
The voices and priorities of #LDCs must remain at the centre of our agenda. Leaving no one behind must also mean leaving no country behind.
All LDCs must be fully engaged in shaping the Midterm Review of the Doha Programme of Action. Women, young people, civil society, the private sector must be part of the solution. #GlobalGoals #SDGs #2030Agenda 🔗 bit.ly/4yMSex6
With four years to 2030, the path ahead is challenging, but full of opportunity. Progress is possible when ambition is matched by action and partnerships deliver tangible results.
Financing for development and implementation of the Sevilla Commitment are crucial to accelerating progress.
In this regard, I want to highlight the importance of holding a special meeting on debt. Supporting the most vulnerable countries means addressing the debt burden that annihilates their efforts and restricts their development. 🔗bit.ly/4yFDErb #FinancingOurFuture #GlobalGoals #SDGs #2030Agenda
I addressed today the Human Rights Council (@UN_HRC) on the outcomes of the #HLPF2026. I stressed that the challenge before us is no longer identifying solutions, but accelerating implementation, and accelerating delivery. I am committed to advancing our shared objective: ensuring that no one is left behind and that development, human rights, justice, and peace advance together for the benefit of all. 🔗bit.ly/4xWqne1 @UNHumanRights #GlobalGoals #SDGs #2030Agenda

It was a pleasure of participating in the handover of the Presidency of @UNECOSOC and meet with Amb.

It is an honour and privilege to assume the Presidency of ECOSOC for its 2027 session.

“Solidarity and practical cooperation must go hand in hand,” said @UNECOSOC President Amar Bendjama on the UN Day for #SouthSouth Cooperation. Sharing knowledge and adapting solutions to local realities can accelerate #SDG progress.

Congratulations to #Algeria for assuming the Presidency of the @UN Economic and Social Council (#ECOSOC) for its 2027 Session, with Ambassador Amar Bendjama, PR of Algeria to the UN, elected by acclamation today, by the Council. This role underlines Africa’s dedication to sustainable development and addressing global challenges in line with #Agenda2063. Given that 14 African countries are members of the ECOSOC, this will help increased coordination to promote African interests. Algeria's leadership is expected to improve collaboration with member states to tackle significant global issues, enhancing the African Union's influence in important international discussions.
