As announced by the SG, I am heading in the next few days to the Middle East region. I will continue the discussions on a Mechanism to facilitate the transit of fertilizers and related raw material to prevent a massive food security crisis, especially in Africa and Asia.

The stakes could not be higher. If we fail to act now to address the global fertilizer crisis, we risk creating a humanitarian catastrophe on food security. Watch my full interview with PBS Newshour 👉 bit.ly/4tcqSy8

I sat down w/ my friend @melissafleming.un.org for Awake at Night podcast to share what we're doing to tackle mounting global crises through our practical solutions & can-do attitude. I also paid tribute to the great work of @unops.org teams around 🌎 incl. those who risk their lives to help others.

We are at a defining moment. In a world marked by growing uncertainty, our collective challenge is clear: we must adapt, stay focused & deliver better for the people we serve. Read my full statement at the Executive Board briefing this week 👉 bit.ly/466CIAD

What I saw during my recent trip to Gaza was shocking. The level of devastation, overwhelming. The needs of people, dire. As talks turn to Gaza’s reconstruction, we must stay focused on ending suffering & supporting early recovery – now. The people of #Gaza can't wait any longer. 🎧 @npr.org

Timely to see Laura Dupuy Lasserre, Chair of G77 & China + PR of #Uruguay Mission UN. We’ve had close cooperation between @unops.org & #G77 over the past 20+ years. We can scale up & do more to support for developing countries in the Global South.

Pleasure to see Her Excellency Zeina Toukan, Minister of Planning & International Development #Jordan. Great discussion on infrastructure & climate action. @UNOPS.org will continue this long term partnership, critical to bringing a positive impact to people’s lives and improving access to services.

Pleased to meet Her Excellency Wafa Bani Moustafa, Minister of Social Development of #Jordan to further deepen partnerships with @UNOPS.org. Together, we are helping the most vulnerable including persons with disabilities. This is in line with the National Social Protection Strategy 🇯🇴

Expressed huge thanks to HRH Prince Rashid, chairman of Jordan 🇯🇴 Hashemite Charity for partnership & coordination. Then, I visited the @UNOPS-built warehouses full of supplies, where I called for lifting all restrictions on delivery of aid including directly: Jordan to #Gaza

For 2M people in #Gaza, fuel is life. Thx to generous support from #Qatar, @UNOPS.org continues to distribute fuel to hospitals, clinics, water stations, and bakeries. Great to see H.E. Yousef Ali Al-Khater @qrcs.org.qa. We look fwd to continued cooperation & expanding our partnership globally.

Starting in Doha a four day trip to #MiddleEast. I thanked HE Fahad Al-Sulaiti & Qatar Fund for Development for great support of @UNOPS.org. In #Gaza and soon deepen this partnership to help improve lives of communities around the world, especially in fragile contexts.

Multilateralism is built on strong partnerships. Pleasure to host Ambassador Wang Xuefeng of China today at UN City. We discussed how we can deepen our partnership on sustainable development based on @UNOPS.org mandate on infrastructure, procurement and project management.

"The best way to protect forests is to empower the people that live there." It's not just about stopping fires. It's about investing in communities that protect our vital ecosystems. That's why the #COP30 Tropical Forests Forever Facility is so important.

Jorge Moreira da Silva @chief.unops.org · 11/11/2025
I spoke with @ionewells.bsky.social on BBC News. #COP30 isn't about negotiation, it's about action and accountability. We're on a path to 2.5°C. The question is do we accept "overshooting" 1.5°C, or do we fix it now? We must fix it now.
020
Jorge Moreira da Silva @chief.unops.org · 11/11/2025
We're past negotiations. #COP30 is about action & accountability. We're not on the 1.5°C path & 'overshooting' isn't inevitable. We must x3 renewables, x2 energy efficiency, deliver on finance, & end fossil fuel subsidies. We can do it, but we must do it now.
032
Jorge Moreira da Silva @chief.unops.org · 09/11/2025
Are we for real or not? I spoke Tainá Falcão on CNN Brasil ahead of the opening of #COP30. The truth is, our current climate targets don't add up to 1.5°C. Belém is a defining moment for the integrity of multilateralism. It's time to recommit to the spirit of #ParisAgreement
001
Jorge Moreira da Silva @chief.unops.org · 07/11/2025
I will soon head to Belém, Brazil for #COP30. A decade since #ParisAgreement, the challenge is no longer the path, but the pace. Countries must act with urgency, ambition & solidarity to deliver climate goals & drive resilient, inclusive development. @UNOPS.org stands ready to help.

Jorge Moreira da Silva @chief.unops.org · 06/11/2025
In #Jamaica, I assured PM Andrew Holness of @unops.org's support following #HurricaneMelissa. Such events are a stark reminder: #SIDS pay for emissions they did not create. As #COP30 approaches, we must recommit to the 1.5C goal, increase climate finance & demand higher ambition. #ClimateAction

Jorge Moreira da Silva @chief.unops.org · 06/11/2025
The resilience of #Jamaica is profound. Meetings today with CDEMA on ensuring strong regional coordination & with the Planning Institute of Jamaica on implementing the national recovery plan. UNOPS.org is committed to helping Jamaica recover, ensuring a resilient & sustainable reconstruction.

Jorge Moreira da Silva @chief.unops.org · 06/11/2025
Met with Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness to express solidarity following #HurricaneMelissa’s devastation in Jamaica. Lives lost, communities displaced, and infrastructure damaged. @UNOPS.org stands ready to support technical damage assessments and early recovery efforts.

Honoured to chair UN City Copenhagen celebrations for #UNDay & 80 yrs of the United Nations. As António Guterres reminds us: no time for timidity. We must scale up delivery for those who need it most. @unops.org renews its commitment to practical solutions in peace, humanitarian & development.

Jorge Moreira da Silva @chief.unops.org · 10/10/2025
In contexts where 1 in 4 people live under conflict, advancing the humanitarian-development-peace nexus is essential. I met with EU Commissioner for Equality, Preparedness & Crisis Management @hadjalahbib.bsky.social on the urgent need for early recovery & reconstruction in fragile settings.

To address need for resilient transport corridors, my meeting w/ DG @magdakopczynska.bsky.social of @ec.europa.eu Mobility & Transport focused on concrete actions. We are moving forward, strengthening Ukraine's Solidarity Lanes & boosting connectivity in Western Balkans, fostering stability & trade.

Excellent meeting with World Bank’s Anna Bjerde ahead of this month’s #AnnualMeetings. Our partnership on infrastructure and procurement in fragile contexts and conflict affected countries is driving results. Supporting sustainability, resilience, and jobs where it's most needed.

A pleasure to meet Dr. Al Misnad, Qatar's Minister of State for Intl Cooperation. We value our strong collaboration with Qatar's MoFA & partners like Qatar Fund for Development to deliver crucial support in #Gaza, #Iraq, & #Sudan. We stand ready to expand our joint efforts in fragile contexts.

Today, King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief) & @UNOPS.org signed 2 agreements to strengthen health systems in #Syria & #Ukraine. This is an important step forward in our partnership with @KSRelief & the government of #SaudiArabia, signed on the sidelines of #UNGA80.

Jorge Moreira da Silva @chief.unops.org · 24/09/2025
We know #ClimateAction is urgent, achievable & profitable. We need higher ambition, $1.3T in climate finance & bold policies on renewables, efficiency, & mobility. @UNOPS.org stands ready to help nations turn these commitments turn into real implementation on the ground. #UNGA80
031
Jorge Moreira da Silva @chief.unops.org · 24/09/2025
At the #UNGA80, leaders voiced concern over war and conflict. Peace is a choice, not an inevitability. Prevention, resilience, and development are the strongest tools we have and where @UNOPS.org delivers impact on the ground.
001
Jorge Moreira da Silva @chief.unops.org · 23/09/2025
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' call to “never give up” must be met with action. We renew our commitment to peace, human rights, climate justice, responsible technology, and a stronger, reformed #UN. Now is the time to build the future together. #UNGA80

Jorge Moreira da Silva @chief.unops.org · 23/09/2025
The #UN General Assembly is always an important moment. This time, it's even more important. Conflict, climate, inequality. Reform, climate finance, and renewed diplomacy are on the table. This week is an important week to give a boost to multilateralism. #UNGA80

Jorge Moreira da Silva @chief.unops.org · 23/09/2025
This morning, at the opening of #UNGA80 I took part in the Climate Summit events on climate finance and adaptation. The message is clear: we're not meeting the moment. Trillions - not billions - are needed, with a decisive shift toward implementation and country-led solutions. #ClimateAction

Jorge Moreira da Silva @chief.unops.org · 23/09/2025
A constructive meeting with Türkiye's Deputy Foreign Minister A. Berris Ekinci at #UNGA80. We discussed advancing our partnership, from building resilient infrastructure for earthquake-affected communities to protecting the Black Sea, & deepening our cooperation on the #SDGs.

Meeting with Cyprus FM Kombos focused on ensuring reliable humanitarian access to #Gaza. Cyprus Maritime Corridor, delivering through @UNOPS.org-managed UN2720 mechanism, is supplying predictable, transparent aid when the people of Gaza need it most. We are ready to do more.

This morning, @UNOPS.org successfully delivered 92,000 litres of fuel to Gaza City. The fuel will support health facilities, water and sanitation services, and telecommunications. This fuel is an essential lifeline amid the ongoing Gaza City offensive.

Through our new Strategic Plan, we will respond to the complexities of our current global development context – supporting our partners to deliver sustainable development and climate action.

Yesterday I addressed the @UNOPS.org Executive Board at a moment of deep global uncertainty. Multilateral action remains essential. UNOPS stands ready to support partners in delivering concrete progress toward peace, prosperity, and a sustainable future. #unopsEB

Jorge Moreira da Silva @chief.unops.org · 25/08/2025
Back in New York this week for our Executive Board. Looking forward to meeting with board members and partners to reflect on our global work. With #UNGA80 on the horizon, this is a critical moment for alignment and action.

Today on World Humanitarian Day, we pay tribute to the humanitarian workers who risk their lives everyday to deliver for people caught in crises around the world. My full statement: bit.ly/4lCJpPA #ActForHumanity

Jorge Moreira da Silva @chief.unops.org · 27/07/2025
I welcome the increase in fuel being approved for entry and we are expecting to bring in approx 150k L today. However, this is much less than what Gaza needs to survive day-to-day. We continue to call for entry of additional quantities in support of the humanitarian operations.
021
Jorge Moreira da Silva @chief.unops.org · 25/07/2025
Fuel is the backbone of survival in #Gaza. I spoke to Christian Fraser on BBC News to underline that without urgent fuel deliveries, essential services collapse. We must act now. @UNOPS.org has been procuring and distributing fuel and is ready to scale up efforts. Lives depend on it.
020
Jorge Moreira da Silva @chief.unops.org · 21/07/2025
Reports in that @UNOPS.org premises in central #Gaza was struck today. My immense gratitude & thoughts are with colleagues supporting humanitarian operations in such difficult times. Aid workers must be protected & all parties must abide by international humanitarian law.
001
Jorge Moreira da Silva @chief.unops.org · 15/07/2025
My @unops.org colleagues are continuing to deliver fuel across #Gaza, reaching the north this morning. Fuel is vital: without it, water can't be desalinated, hospitals lose power, bakeries stop. This is the lifeline for survival.
