How can countries move beyond aid and debt to unlock more and better development finance? Lao PDR is showing one path: smarter debt management, mobilizing private investment, and partners acting as catalysts, not just financiers. Kavita Iyengar & Raniya Sobir, @ADB_HQ & @UNDPasiapac economists in 🇱🇦explain here how: go.undp.org/pTy

Just arrived in Germany for the Hamburg Sustainability Conference. #HSC2026 matters because it brings public, private and civil society leaders together to solve shared challenges. Global cooperation today must go beyond shared ideals. It must be about investment and delivery.

The energy story in Asia & the Pacific keeps flipping pages, sometimes entire chapters go by in a flash! Sometimes, the transitions can be a heavy grind. Grids can no longer afford to be as they were, ie somewhat passive. The next generation grid must be smarter: rapidly adaptive to mixed inputs; resilient in remote and disaster-prone contexts; data-driven so they are responsive in real time. This is now about energy security. So, what will it take for countries to ensure reliable and affordable energy markets and access, and not leave millions out in the cold and dark? Recent discussions with several key partners to join forces in support.... @ADB_HQ @ACEF_Forum @energynewsasia @IRENA @CleanEnergyWire @BloombergNEF @ASEAN @SEAllianceNRG

Did you know this is the last place on Earth where four endangered species - orangutans, elephants, tigers and rhinos - still coexist in the wild? From the rainforests of Bukit Lawang, @KanniWignaraja shares glimpses on how Indonesia is moving beyond isolated conservation efforts toward inclusive, landscape-based and spatial-based approaches that benefit both people and nature... protecting biodiversity while strengthening local livelihoods. This work is a partnership between @UNDP, @theGEF, and spearheaded by 🇮🇩 Ministry of Forestry. More on the partnership here: go.undp.org/cbY

Women remain underrepresented in leadership. As cities grow, addressing the distinct safety, mobility, and livelihood needs of all genders is critical. UNDP's #Gender Equality Seal for #Cities helps municipal governments build equitable, inclusive urban spaces!

UNDP has launched a new certification to support city governments in integrating gender equality into urban planning, budgeting and service delivery, as rapid urban growth outpaces efforts to make cities safe, accessible and responsive for everyone. go.undp.org/ceH

1.3 billion people across the Asia-Pacific rely on the informal economy. It is lively, yet highly vulnerable to shocks. @UNDP is helping informal workers secure stable jobs, building stronger and more resilient economies for the future. Here is a closer look at our Administrator @alexanderdecroo’s visit to Bangkok, exploring the daily realities of the informal economy.

Government Development Financing is a central pillar of @UNDP’s model. Through GDF, nations are leading & funding their programme w/UNDP. This shift allows countries to co-invest, scale innovations, & share their expertise, reinforcing South-South & South-North collaboration.
