Today we stand at crossroads for #WildlifeConservation. The #WCO is championing a future where technology and collaboration form the backbone of our efforts to protect our planet’s #biodiversity. ➡️ wcoomd.org/en/media/newsr… #Customs #WWD2024 #ConnectingPeopleAndPlanet

Our pursuit of #GenderEquality and #Diversity isn't just a question of human rights; it's a performance strategy. When we embrace diversity, we unlock innovation, creativity, and resilience. 👉 wcoomd.org/en/media/newsr… #WCO #Customs #GEOAT

Had a successful 59th MENA #Customs DGs Regional Meeting in Cairo, Egypt 🇪🇬, focusing on engaging MENA Members on the World Customs Organization modernization plan. It was a great opportunity for the Directors General to share their ideas to enrich the Organization’s views.

#GenderEquality & #Diversity are questions of rights & prerequisites for sustainable development. In #Customs environment, these are contributors to operational effectiveness because confronting the most complex challenges requires that we bring the widest array of perspectives.

The fight against those who would circumvent or manipulate the system isn’t one that Customs fights alone; our partner agencies work alongside us, complement our efforts, and share the mission to protect society from the daily dangers to border security. wcoomd.org/en/media/newsr…

I would like to thank Matthias Petschke from the EU Tax & Customs 🇪🇺 who highlighted, during the 44th WCO Enforcement Committee Session, the essential role of international cooperation in advancing customs enforcement & facilitating legitimate trade across borders. wcoomd.org/en/media/newsr…

It is essential to enhance strategies to identify illicit trade in hazardous materials. The WCO is committed to environmental protection & the ongoing work on new HS codes represents a crucial step in enhancing Customs' ability to identify & manage sensitive goods effectively.

The #IntlForestDay2024 reminds us of the need of protecting the world’s forests & the crucial role Customs plays in identifying legal timber trade & dismantling criminal networks through information exchange & collaboration, with the support of various innovative technologies.

🤝Let's advocate for the changes needed to ensure that law enforcement agencies & criminal justice systems are equipped & empowered to confront #WildlifeCrime effectively & mobilize political will to support our mission: a WORLD FREE OF WILDLIFE CRIME. #FromSeizureToProsecution

The PSCG plays a key role, in a spirit of partnership between Customs and industry, in the WCO's efforts to create positive change in the global Customs environment. wcoomd.org/en/media/newsr…

#WCO calls for heightened vigilance in #Customs operations to fight environmental crimes. By enforcing MEAs like #MontrealProtocol & CITES, Customs can contribute to curbing climate change & biodiversity loss. Let's protect the planet together! #WED2024 wcoomd.org/en/media/newsr…
