Sittwe is littered with uprooted trees and rubble since #CycloneMocha made landfall. The city cannot function, and people cannot access services or run their businesses until they are removed. @UNDP is now clearing away the debris - a vital early step in recovery.

"Water connects people and the water becomes the reason for transboundary cooperation rather than the source of conflict. If we don't act now, then either we will have too much water or too little water", says @UNDPasiapac's @ayamamoto120 #MovingMountains

The world's population just hit a milestone: #8billion! 60% live in Asia-Pacific, including 100 million directly impacted by conflicts, #ClimateCrisis. We must double down on investments in #development #peace #ClimateAction #HumanRights. Now. https://t.co/rIvxJ9z1dH @UNDP
