Hey fam! 🌏 The UN is turning 80, and guess what? Its Procurement Division is low-key a sustainability superhero. From eco-friendly sourcing to powering resilience, they’re making sure governments, businesses, and civil society squad up for a greener, fairer world.
So, what’s the big deal with procurement? 🤔 Think of it like your go-to app for ordering the coolest gear—but on a global scale. Instead of shoes or gadgets, the UN’s Procurement Div picks everything from medical kits to solar panels, ensuring every purchase boosts social impact and eco-friendly practices.
At this milestone anniversary, Neris Mercedes Baez, the division’s director, chatted with CGTN’s Zheng Junfeng about three major vibes:
- Resilience Boost: They’re building supply chains that can handle everything—whether it’s a pandemic or climate shocks—so emergency aid reaches communities fast. 🚑💨
- Inclusiveness Wins: Small businesses and women-led ventures in Asia-Pacific are getting a seat at the table. It’s all about fair opportunities and diverse voices! 💼✨
- Global Teamwork: Partnerships span from Bangladesh’s textile innovators to tech startups in Singapore, proving teamwork makes the dream work. 🤝🎉
For young pros hustling in Dhaka or coding in Jakarta, this means more chances to connect with UN tenders, join sustainable projects, and even pitch your innovations. It’s not just about buying and selling—it’s about a movement toward a future that’s inclusive, green, and tech-driven.
As we celebrate #UN80, let’s get involved—whether it’s sharing ideas on social media, supporting local green startups, or simply staying informed. After all, global change starts with our generation’s passion and creativity. 🌟
