Noordpool Zeeijs Dag / Arctic Sea Ice Day 2026
De organisatie Polar Bear International (PBI) heeft 15 juli uitgeroepen tot Arctic Sea Ice Day, een bewustwordingsd
De PBI heeft gekozen voor 15 juli omdat historisch gezien het zee-ijs rond midden juli uiteenvalt, tegenwoordig gebeurt dat echter zo’n 3 weken eerder. Arctic Sea Ice Day wil ons bewustmaken van het feit dat toekomstige generaties ijsberen én mensen de rekening gepresenteerd krijgen van alle beslissingen en plannen die we vandaag de dag maken. Hoe kan de trend worden omgekeerd? Door over te stappen op hernieuwbare energiebronnen zoals waterkracht, zonne-energie, windenergie en energie uit biomassa. Dit heeft economische voordelen en zal de vervuiling verminderen en banen creëren.

#SkillsRightNow #WorldYouthSkillsDay Wereld Jonge Talentendag / Werelddag van Vaardigheden van Jongeren 2026
In 2014, the United Nations General Assembly declared 15 July as World Youth Skills Day, to celebrate the strategic importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work and entrepreneurship.
The world of work is changing rapidly. Artificial intelligence, the green transition and growing social complexity are transforming how we learn, work and participate in society. To thrive in this changing landscape, young people need more than technical skills alone. They need a balanced set of competencies that combines technical, digital, AI, green, social-emotional and civic skills with the human qualities that technology cannot replace. Under the theme “Skills for a shared future”, this year’s World Youth Skills Day activities will spotlight the urgent need for innovative youth skills programmes—initiatives that empower young people not only to adapt, but to lead with empathy, bridge cultural divides, build resilience, and actively shape a more sustainable and inclusive tomorrow. Youth unemployment remains a major economic and social challenge worldwide. According to the ILO’s Global Employment Trends for Youth 2024, the global youth unemployment rate fell to 13% in 2023 – a 15-year low and below the pre-pandemic level of 13.8%. However, recovery has been uneven: in the Arab States, East Asia, and South-East Asia, rates were higher in 2023 than in 2019. Meanwhile, one in five young people globally – and over a quarter of young women – were NEET (not in employment, education, or training), with young women’s NEET rate (28.1%) more than double that of young men (13.1%). Even for those who work, decent jobs remain scarce. Over half of young workers are in informal employment, and in low-income countries, three in four hold only self-employment or temporary jobs. Investment in green and blue sectors could create 8.4 million youth jobs by 2030, but these must come with decent working conditions – including fundamental rights like equal pay, collective bargaining, and protection from harassment.
Education and training are central to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda. The vision of the Incheon Declaration: Education 2030 is fully captured by Sustainable Development Goal 4 “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”. Education 2030 devotes considerable attention to technical and vocational skills development, specifically regarding access to affordable quality Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET); the acquisition of technical and vocational skills for employment, decent work and entrepreneurship; the elimination of gender disparity and ensuring access for the vulnerable. In this context, TVET is expected to address the multiple demands of an economic, social and environmental nature by helping youth and adults develop the skills they need for employment, decent work and entrepreneurship, promoting equitable, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, and supporting transitions to green economies and environmental sustainability. TVET can equip youth with the skills required to access the world of work, including skills for self-employment. TVET can also improve responsiveness to changing skill-demands by companies and communities, increase productivity and increase wage levels. TVET can reduce access barriers to the world of work, for example through work-based learning, and ensuring that skills gained are recognised and certified. TVET can also offer skills development opportunities for low-skilled people who are under- or unemployed, out of school youth and individuals not in education, employment and training (NEETs).

Internationale Vierdaagse Afstandsmarsen Nijmegen / De Vierdaagse Nijmegen 2026 (TV RN7)
De Vierdaagse Nijmegen, officieel de Internationale Vierdaagse Afstandsmarsen Nijmegen, is een vierdaags wandelevenement dat sinds 1909 ieder jaar wordt gehouden en start op de derde dinsdag van juli.
Het is de grootste meerdaagse wandelprestatie
Gebouw en terreinen van De Vereeniging aan het Keizer Karelplein in Nijmegen zijn langjarig start- en finishplaats en onderkomen van de organisatie geweest. Inmiddels is dat verplaatst naar de nabijgelegen Wedren, waar met tijdelijke voorzieningen veel meer ruimte is gecreëerd ook in het aangrenzende Julianapark en op het Vierdaagseplein
Het evenement werd sinds 1928 traditioneel geopend met een vlaggenparade; sinds 1951 werd deze kleurrijke deelnemersontva

#WorldOrcaDay 2026
World Orca Day is a celebration of the species orca (Orcinus orca), or killer whale, is a toothed whale and the largest member of the oceanic dolphin family.
The only extant species in the genus Orcinus, it is recognizable by its distinct pigmentation; being mostly black on top, white on the bottom and having recognizable white eye patches. A cosmopolitan species, it inhabits a wide range of marine environments, from Arctic to Antarctic regions to tropical seas, but is more commonly documented in temperate or cooler coastal waters. Scientists have proposed dividing the global population into races, subspecies, or possibly even species. Orcas are apex predators with a diverse diet. Individual populations often specialize in particular types of prey, including bony fish, sharks, rays, and marine mammals such as seals, dolphins, and whales. They are highly social, with some populations forming stable matrilineal family groups (pods). Their sophisticated hunting techniques and vocal behaviors, often unique to specific groups and passed down from generation to generation, are considered to be manifestations of animal culture. The most studied populations are off the west coast of North America, which include fish-eating “residents”, mammal-eating “transients”, and offshores. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists the orca’s conservation status as data deficient as multiple orca types may represent distinct species. Some local populations are threatened or endangered due to prey depletion, habitat loss, pollution (by PCBs), captures for marine parks, and conflicts with fisheries. In late 2005, the southern resident orcas were added to the U.S. Endangered Species list. Orcas have been revered by indigenous peoples from regions including the Pacific Northwest, Australia and Peru, while Western cultures have historically feared them. They have been taken by whalers when stocks of larger species have declined. The orca’s image took a positive turn in the 1960s, due to greater public and scientific awareness and their display in captivity. Since then, orcas have been trained to perform in marine parks, a practice that has been criticized as unethical. Orcas rarely pose a threat to humans, and no fatal attack has been recorded in the wild. However, captive orcas have injured or killed their handlers in marine theme parks.

#WorldChimpanzeeDay Wereld Chimpansee Dag 2026
De chimpansee (Pan troglodytes) is een Afrikaanse mensaap, zijn nauwste verwant is de dwergchimpansee of bonobo (Pan paniscus).
Beide chimpansees worden beschouwd als de nauwste nog levende verwanten van de mens. Sommige wetenschappers beschouwen de relatie tussen mens en chimpansee op basis van DNA-onderzoek als nauw genoeg om de chimpansee en de bonobo net als de mens in het geslacht Homo te plaatsen. Op 14 Juli 1960 arriveerde Dame Valerie Jane Morris-Goodall (Dr. Jane Goodall), in wat nu Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania heet, om haar onderzoek naar het sociale en familiale leven van de wilde chimpansee te beginnen. Om dit te vieren wordt jaarlijks op 14 juli Wereld Chimpansee Dag gehouden. Dr. Jane Goodall, overleden op 1 oktober 2025, was een Britse antropologe en biologe, gespecialiseerd in ethologie en primatologie. Ze was oprichter van het Jane Goodall Institute en het jongerenprogramma Roots & Shoots.
