In #Cambodia, Panha (Max) Theng, a UN Youth Office @unyouthaffairs Young Leader, uses storytelling and media to foster empathy, challenge discrimination, and open space for more inclusive conversations on identity, gender, and community.
Through authentic, character-driven stories, she reminds us that visibility is not only about being seen. It is about being heard, understood, and free to live authentically.
Today and every day, let’s stand together against violence, discrimination, and hate, and protect the freedom to live and love freely.
Building a better world starts at home. On this #DayOfFamilies, we’re celebrating the power of family-led enterprise to drive the #GlobalGoals. 🌎💙

When Hantavirus cases were detected on a vessel in the Atlantic, @uncaboverde swung into gear. Under @WHO leadership, the team has been working around the clock with national authorities to ensure a swift, coordinated response.
From medical response to public outreach, the @unitednations team is on the ground to support the ongoing efforts.
The good news? WHO assesses the overall public health risk as low.
Stay safe, stay informed! 🛡️

Migratory birds connect countries, communities and continents.
Protecting them starts with understanding where they go, when they travel and what threats they face along the way. Community science helps make that possible.
By taking part in bird counts, monitoring projects or local observations, people everywhere can contribute data that supports conservation decisions at local, national and international levels.
Every bird counts. Every observation matters.

Journalism shapes peace.
Access to reliable, verified information is not optional; it is fundamental to building peaceful, just and resilient societies.
When information is manipulated, it fuels division and erodes trust. When it is free and truthful, it strengthens accountability, fosters dialogue and upholds human rights.
On #WorldPressFreedomDay, we stand with @UNESCO to protect freedom of expression and support journalism as a pillar of peace.
New ideas. Stronger partnerships. Real results. 🌍

From commitments to delivery. 🤝
At the 2026 ECOSOC Forum on #FinancingForDevelopment, Chair of the UN Sustainable Development Group @aminajmohammed called for urgent action to turn financing commitments into progress that countries can see and feel.
That means:
💼 Jobs created
🏗️ Infrastructure built
🛡️ Families protected
🏘️ Communities made resilient
Because financing for development is ultimately about building a more stable, more just and more hopeful future, where everyone can live a life of dignity.
