Alexander De Croo 🇺🇳

The most expensive climate policy is doing nothing.

At #COP31, making the business case for climate action.

Pleased to meet H.E. Mr. Shavkat Mirziyoyev, President of Uzbekistan, at #COP31.

Uzbekistan is taking BRIDGE forward, an initiative to turn climate commitments into real investments on the ground.

@UNDP stands ready to support Uzbekistan’s climate and development agenda.

Money that stays on paper cools nothing.

Grateful to Turkish Finance Minister Şimşek and the #COP31 Presidency for trusting @UNDP to deliver BRIDGE, turning climate finance into real investments on the ground.

Our mission is clear.

Deliver projects.
Protect people.
Build resilience.

Good to meet with Tuvalu’s Prime Minister Feleti Teo.

Tuvalu did little to cause the climate crisis. Its people face it daily.

@UNDP stands alongside Tuvalu as we work together to protect its coasts and bring clean power to its islands.

#COP31

⏳ Waiting is the most expensive climate policy.

Protecting vulnerable households before El Niño’s worst impacts hit: up to US$36 billion.

Responding after the damage is done: up to US$73 billion.

Pay less now, or far more later.
