It's bittersweet to hold the result of my work! During my recent journey working in the Office of Intergovernmental Support and Coordination for Sustainable Development in the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN-DESA), I actively supported the drafting of the report titled "The Role of #UN in Promoting Development in the Context of Globalization and Interdependence" from the very beginning. This report draws on various fields, including the new challenges of globalization as we face a rise in armed conflicts worldwide, global wealth loss due to illicit financial flows, the challenges of climate change (which urgently required the involvement of Indigenous Communities to address adaptation processes), gender inequality, the ethics of artificial intelligence, and more. Our recommendations emphasize the need to reposition the multilateral governance framework to address these rapid social, political, and economic changes and to facilitate conflict prevention, peacebuilding, and the reduction of inequality gaps. Special thanks to Tonya Vaturi for her guidance and trust in my work!

Day 1 of the Summit itself. The Pact has been adopted this morning, a little over half an hour ago. https://lnkd.in/eWVhTH3G As a newbie to these spaces it's interesting how different it is in the building today, compared to the Action Days with all their busy side events bustling with different groups and conversations. Today, civil society is entirely cordoned off into secondary-ticketed overflow rooms, back entrances to the building well away from any delegates, etc. Very clear, physically, how 'outside' we still are. Given the state pushback on civsoc participation in the process throughout, the physical other-ness feels particularly sharp. Interactive Dialogue 1 on 'Transforming global governance and turbocharging the implementation of the 2030 agenda for sustainable development' starting now, and it has a heavy load to lift - of the 5 Chapters of the Pact, the first on financing for the 2030 agenda covers the broadest ground. We have three hours of 3-minute interventions from multilaterals, States and NGOs to cover this wide territory and understand how, or even whether, the freshly adopted Pact will make a difference to finding and action in climate, debt, gender equality, social protection and public services and more.

Market-based solutions to biodiversity loss are unlikely to work because “free-market” thinking plays a large role in driving biodiversity loss. It is unethical for Europe to export the costs of its environmental excesses.
Developing countries decry broken UN promises on financial resources for #biodiversity. "One set of issues that was not discussed at the Contact Group, despite several Parties raising them at the plenary, was around the need to circumvent the embrace of private sector and blended financing, including market-based instruments (as part of the “all sources” mantra), with a concomitant need to assess their impacts on biodiversity, gender equality and human rights. This is because there is acknowledgement that these measures may not actually result in biodiversity outcomes, or may have adverse impacts on indigenous peoples and local communities, women and youth." "Developed countries such as the European Union, on the other hand, felt that the 2025 target of at least $20 billion per year was within reach. They stressed the importance of mobilizing resources from “all sources”," (all sources = codeword for market based instruments). Rich industrialised countries have no intention of giving any significant amount of money, this is where biodiversity credit schemes come in handy to be able to claim that these countries will provide funding, while in reality they will acquire control over new vast pieces of land in the global south and create a new profitable market for their financial sector. #COP16 #CBD

The role of PFM reforms that pre-dates the COVID19 has been instrumental in the recovery of many of the ADB’s member countries. The continuation of these policy reforms to assess the impact of the COVID19 and mainstreaming both climate and gender priorities remain critical to growth and economic resilience.
ADB is providing $50 million to support fiscal and public management reforms in the Kyrgyz Republic to enable more public funding for the nation’s low carbon transition and climate adaptation needs, and integrate gender inclusiveness into budget processes. Read: https://ow.ly/6ntQ50Stqzy
