Chief executives of 100 Global Compact Network Thailand (GCNT) companies have pledged to accelerate solutions tackling climate and biodiversity losses, which they agreed are an existential crisis threatening the resource base of the global economy. The same threat will be of focus for COP27 discussions in Egypt and COP15 in Canada this year.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has commended the UN team in Thailand led by Resident Coordinator Gita Sabharwal as a principal partner amid the grim backdrop of the triple planetary crisis, advancing ecological restoration and sustainable economic growth in all dimensions—with UNIDO, UNEP and UNHABITAT bringing their expertise in low-carbon technologies, waste management and energy markets; and UNDP and UNESCO promoting sustainable tourism, the creative economy as well as protection of habitats and endangered species.
The Global Compact Network Thailand Forum 2022, co-hosted with the UN team in Thailand, took place as the country prepares for both COP27 in Egypt and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit 2022 in Thailand this month. A key agenda Thailand will be pushing forward with world leaders is the protection of biodiversity and the steering of efforts to tackle the climate crisis.

Starting as an accidental picture, and probably destroying the camera, I thought this was an interesting picture when I saw it on the view-finder.

Took a similar shot earlier in the morning- it didn't turn out well. When I came back for conferences I tried it again.

The Basra Compact, a flagship partnership to revive the economy in southern Iraq
Basra, 05 May 2015 – The authorities of Basra and the UN Development Programme (UNDP) today signed a flagship agreement, the Basra Compact, aiming at strengthening participatory and accountable governance and reviving the economic activity in the southern governorate, which is not just oil-rich but needs to invest in its human capacity and private sector development. Protecting the cultural and ecological heritage of the Mesopotamian Marshlands is also a priority.
Despite being the richest governorate and hosting the main port in Iraq, Umm Qasr—the only shipping hub in the country—Basra is one of the most affected by poverty and chronic unemployment with 16.1% of the population living below the poverty line of US$ 2.5 per day and facing staggering challenges in terms of access to services.
The memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed with Basra authorities outlines future cooperation in the areas of decentralization, financial management and budget execution, environment protection, private sector development including micro, small and medium enterprises, and supporting the governorate’s 5-year strategic planning.
“Working with local partners is a fundamental element of national ownership,” the Deputy Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General and UNDP Resident Representative, Lise Grande, said. “This translates into UNDP’s support for the local network of the Global Compact promoting responsible business practices in the areas of gender, human rights, labour standards, environment, service delivery and anti-corruption,” she explained.
UNDP has nearly 40 years of experience in Iraq leading the UN’s development work, providing knowledge and practical expertise. In its long-term engagement with the government and the people of Iraq, UNDP focuses on inclusive participation, accountability, access to justice, women’s empowerment, security sector reform, decentralization and private sector development. In particular, UNDP supports the government’s 4-year development plans (2014-2017).
