#DidYouKnow Extreme heat affecting the health of 70% of the global workforce. Shifting weather patterns damaging our harvests. Rising sea levels increasing the chances of catastrophic floods. The impacts of climate change are global in scope and unprecedented in scale. Since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily through the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas. Without drastic action today, adapting to these impacts in the future will be more difficult and costly. We are at a defining moment to change the path of humanity. UN Secretary-General recently called for urgent international cooperation to address extreme heat, another important threat brought by climate change. https://lnkd.in/gDX2M3t5

#DidYouKnow Celebrating World Steelpan Day, we acknowledge its cultural and historical significance. The steelpan is a musical instrument originating in Trinidad and Tobago. It has the potential in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals, through its use in sectors such as tourism, culture, education, as well as science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. https://lnkd.in/e2sHRRG8

#DidYouKnow Every year, the City of Hiroshima holds the Peace Memorial Ceremony to console the souls of those lost to the atomic bombing on 6 August 1945, as well as pray for the realization of lasting world peace. Weapons of mass destruction, in particular nuclear weapons, continue to be of primary concern, owing to their destructive power and the threat that they pose to humanity. The UN has sought to eliminate such weapons ever since its establishment. Let’s work together to banish these devices of destruction to the history books, once and for all. The Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome) was the only structure left standing in the area where the first atomic bomb exploded on 6 August 1945. It was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1996. https://lnkd.in/d9QunUGJ

#DidYouKnow Chess is one of the most ancient, intellectual and cultural games, with a combination of sport, scientific thinking and elements of art. Chess is a global gamethat promotes fairness, inclusion and mutual respect. It can contribute to an atmosphere of tolerance and understanding among peoples and nations. Chess also offers important opportunities in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, including strengthening education, and advancing the empowerment of women and girls. On this World Chess Day (20 July), let’s celebrate chess for its important contributions to these values. While chess originated as a game that modeled a battlefield, today we have come to think of chess as a game that is more closely linked with peace, and the concept of a chessboard is often linked with diplomacy and multilateralism. https://lnkd.in/egiJApR

#DidYouKnow Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have the potential to leapfrog climate solutions around the globe, transforming climate mitigation and adaptation approaches. However, skill gaps exist between AI providers, governments and users. Moreover, the ethical and safe use of this tool for the climate will require strong enabling and regulatory frameworks. Making AI a meaningful climate technology also requires minimizing the emissions and resource impact of the technology itself. UNU-EHS and UNFCCC are hosting a meeting in Bonn (1-2 July) with experts, representatives and decision makers. Equitable access to AI, especially for Least Developed Countries (LDCs), demands awareness of existing digital divides, data gaps and biases. https://lnkd.in/eeFEsMdy

#DidYouKnow International Albinism Awareness Day, celebrated annually on 13 June, was launched 10 years ago. Due to their unique physical appearance caused by the lack of melanin in their hair, skin and eyes, persons with albinism have been subject to marginalization and social exclusion, and even persecution fed by superstition. This year we celebrate the strides made through the tireless efforts of albinism groups from around the world and reflect on the continued legal, policy and practical changes still required to ensure the full and equal enjoyment of rights by persons with albinism. Albinism should be recognized as a type of disability, including the need to provide students with albinism with appropriate accommodations. https://lnkd.in/euBARaT

#DidYouKnow Tea has been with us for a long time. Tea production and processing constitutes a main source of livelihoods for millions of families in developing countries and is the main means of subsistence for millions of poor families, who live in a number of least developed countries. This year International Tea Day highlights women and their role in the tea sector. Join us to celebrate their involvement and contribution to the tea production! Global tea consumption and production are projected to keep rising over the next decade, driven by robust demand in developing and emerging countries. https://lnkd.in/drr484A

#DidYouKnow Rooted in the UN's post-World War II mission to prevent conflict and uphold human rights, the UN General Assembly declared the International Day of Living Together in Peace (16 May) to emphasize the importance of accepting and respecting differences while striving for peace, tolerance, inclusion, and solidarity, and to promote reconciliation and sustainable development by encouraging forgiveness, compassion, and cooperation. Likewise, various UN initiatives emphasize that peace requires positive engagement and the elimination of discrimination and intolerance, not just the absence of conflict. Humanity's struggle for lasting peace is the theme of Spanish artist Jose Vela Zanetti's mural at United Nations headquarters.
