Trust isn’t a sentiment, it’s operational infrastructure.
The Nairobi Declaration on Trust & Call to Action is live. 5 major moves to repair the global social contract:
1. Global Trust Facility: A @UNDP-administered fund to build national trust & digital infrastructure.
2. Regulatory Trust Index: Annual metric to eliminate duplicative compliance costs.
3. @UN Reform: Invoking @UN Charter Art. 109 for structural UN Security Council overhaul.
4. Measuring the "Trust Tax": @UNCTAD to study the commercial costs of global distrust.
5. Nairobi Trust Council: Permanent follow-up body hosted in Kenya.
From endless talk to binding accountability. Kenya leads the global charge. Read the full Nairobi Declaration here: globaltrustsummit.org/declar…

An enormous honour to be part of #TrustSummit2026 in Nairobi. The Nairobi Declaration calls for accountable governance, responsible AI and inclusive cooperation.
Trust is earned through action. Now, we must turn commitments into results. 🤝🌍

🌍 The @GTSummit2026 closes in Nairobi, and three days of fruitful deliberation on trust building have culminated in the #NairobiDeclaration on Trust and Call to Action.
From 21 to 23 October, governments, civil society, the private sector, academia, media and youth gathered under the theme "Weaving Trust: Binding Strands for a Stronger Global Order." Here is what they committed to:
1️⃣ Rebuild trust in public institutions, including a Regulatory Trust Index and stronger regulatory cooperation under the EAC and AfCFTA
2️⃣ Reform multilateral institutions and the global financial architecture to be more representative and accountable
3️⃣ Advance responsive global health governance and equitable access to medical innovations
4️⃣ Strengthen trust for climate action through intergenerational solidarity, finance and technology transfer
5️⃣ Build trust in the digital age, with Africa's voice in AI governance, support for independent journalism and platform transparency
6️⃣ Deepen inclusion and belonging, with meaningful participation of youth, women, persons with disabilities and excluded communities
7️⃣ Create sustainable pathways for youth employment, entrepreneurship and innovation
To deliver on these, leaders agreed to establish a Coalition on Global Trust, an inclusive Nairobi Trust Council hosted by Kenya, and a UN-backed Global Trust Facility, with a Framework for Action and biennial reporting on progress. 🤝
Trust is a global public good, and no single institution, sector or country can rebuild it alone.
Thank you, Kenya, for hosting, and to every participant who helped weave the strands together. ✨

Wangari Maathai’s enduring legacy reminds us that protecting nature is protecting humanity. We honour this visionary African leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, whose courage and unwavering commitment to the environment, peace & human dignity continue to inspire generations!
Wangari Maathai was the first female professor in Kenya and the first African woman to be awarded the #NobelPeacePrize. She founded the Green Belt Movement, which led to the planting of millions of trees.
Today we announce the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.

More and more conflicts are being addressed through diplomacy, treaties and legal mechanisms, rather than threats, violence and warfare. International law is a foundation for a more peaceful world.
At a time of existential challenges – including more wars and conflicts than the world has seen in a long time – international law is no longer just a supplement to peace and security. It is an absolute necessity.
Today Navi Pillay has been awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to promote peace and international law.

@NimoJirdeh’s opening remarks for #APC2026 begins with a Somali quote : “Nabaddu waxay ka bilaabataa wada-hadal, dowladnimaduna waxay ka bilaabataa kalsooni.”
Meaning: “Peace begins with dialogue, and state-building begins with trust.”
