🏫 Meet Arooj Fatima, your guide to a school transformed!
With excitement and pride, Arooj takes us around her school in Larkana, rehabilitated after the devastating 2022 floods. For Arooj and her classmates, the improvements mean safer spaces, renewed confidence and a better learning experience. With support from the @CanHCPakistan and in partnership with the @SindhGovt1, #UNDPinPakistan is rehabilitating 46 flood-affected schools across Larkana, Dadu and Kambar-Shahdadkot. Improved classrooms, sanitation facilities and accessible infrastructure for students with disabilities are helping create safer, more inclusive learning environments for over 15,000 students.
🎥 Join Arooj as she shows us around her school!

🌡️ Too Hot to Ignore.
Across Asia and the Pacific, extreme heat is becoming more frequent and intense. Yet not everyone can escape it.
🤝 We must act now! Join @UNDP, @UNESCAP, @UNDRR & @IFRCAsiaPacific at #CSD9 on 13 Nov to accelerate heat action: indico.un.org/e/CSD9

We can predict many climate hazards months in advance, yet international finance still flows mainly after the damage is done.

What’s on the table for food, agriculture and health at #COP31? 🎬
As negotiations kick off in Turkiye, @UNDP's @JulieTeng breaks down the key decisions countries face this week on the future of the Sharm el-Sheikh joint work on agriculture and food security.
