🔔 For International Day for #Disaster Risk Reduction (#DRRday, 13 October), the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe warns that #climatechange and the #energy transition are increasing the likelihood of catastrophic #accidents linked to industrial and technological facilities, such as chemical plants, battery factories, mining sites and energy infrastructure. These complex #technological disaster risks can have widespread economic, #environmental and #social impacts, including across national borders. A comprehensive approach and transboundary cooperation are therefore essential to increase resilience, which will be a key focus as governments and stakeholders come together for the 13th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (CoP-13) to the Convention on the Transboundary Effects of #Industrial Accidents, co-organized with the Government of France, to be held in #Geneva on 📅 27-29 November. UNECE is working closely with member States and partner organizations to support technological disaster risk reduction policy and governance. In this respect, CoP-13 will also share insights from the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) Regional Assessment Report on disaster risk reduction: #Europe and #CentralAsia.

Info
The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) was set up in 1947 by ECOSOC. It is one of five regional commissions of the United Nations. The others are the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA). Its major aim is to promote pan-European economic integration. To do so, UNECE brings together 56 countries located in the European Union, non-EU Western and Eastern Europe, South-East Europe and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and North America. All these countries dialogue and cooperate under the aegis of the UNECE on economic and sectoral issues. To this end, it provides analysis, policy advice and assistance to governments, it gives focus to the United Nations global mandates in the economic field, in cooperation with other global players and key stakeholders, notably the business community. The UNECE also sets out norms, standards and conventions to facilitate international cooperation within and outside the region. The area of expertise of the UNECE covers such sectors as: economic cooperation and integration, energy, environment, housing and land management, gender, population, statistics, timber, trade, and transport. UNECE has 56 member States. However, all interested UN member States may participate in its work. Over 70 international professional organizations and other non-governmental organizations take part in UNECE activities.

Armenia's Road Safety Journey, Powered by the UNRSF The Government of Armenia has adopted important measures to enhance road safety, creating a safer environment for all road users. Through the establishment of an interdepartmental commission on road safety and the development of a new National Road Safety Strategy, Armenia is leading the way in setting an example for how governments can effectively reduce road fatalities. With UNRSF – UN Road Safety Fund support, a unified platform for data collection and analysis was established. This platform enables informed decision-making and targeted interventions. In the pilot area, it has already made a significant impact by identifying and improving the most dangerous road areas. Additionally, it contributed to an 18% reduction in repeat speed violations among a control group of over 21,000 drivers. 🛑 Governments play a critical role in achieving the global goal of cutting road deaths in half by the end of this decade. Effective strategies must be data-driven, backed by strong laws and sufficient funding, and involve collaboration across all sectors. 📣 More governments must take action now to save lives on the road. #RoadSafety UNDP in Armenia Armenia National SDG Innovation Lab United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Nneka Henry

📢 The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and UN Women Europe and Central Asia are convening a regional review meeting at United Nations Office at Geneva on 📅 21-22 October 2024 to deliberate in priorities needed to accelerate #GenderEquality. In the last five years, repeated shocks have rocked the world, from the COVID-19 pandemic to energy and financial crises, from the escalating climate emergency to eruptions of armed conflict and geopolitical tensions. These crises disproportionately affect #women and #girls, exacerbating existing inequalities. At the same time, the rise in authoritarian regimes and anti-rights movements is threatening the progress made and endangering women's rights activists. During high-level roundtables, ministers, senior officials, and representatives from relevant ministries, United Nations entities, regional institutions and organizations, civil society organizations, youth organizations, academia, independent experts, and other stakeholders from 56 countries in the UNECE region will deliberate on priorities related to gender equality and women’s empowerment, including: ☑️ Accelerating women’s #economic empowerment; ☑️ Women in #leadership and their full and equal participation in decision-making; ☑️ Ending violence against women and girls; ☑️ Leveraging financing for gender equality; ☑️ Closing the #gender gap: effective policies to deliver on #SDGs in the UNECE region. 🔎 Learn more ▶️ https://lnkd.in/dqQ_NpUv 🔔 Register 👉 https://lnkd.in/dS4qan9c Tatiana Molcean Dmitry Mariyasin Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda Martin Chungong Belen Sanz Luque Beate Andrees Ekin Deligöz Roya Garayeva Asel Kubanychbekova Tea Jaliashvili European Women's Lobby Nabeelah Shabbir Nicole Ameline IDLO - International Development Law Organization GQUAL Campaign Inter-Parliamentary Union Pille Tsopp-Pagan Colette FRY Branislava Aradjan Xeniya Udod Selma Prodanovic🎤 Marija Savovska Ruth Zugman do Coutto Yolanda Iriarte Victoria Puiu Jose Palacin Ilinca Paladi Natalija Ostojić
