#UNiteforVictimsofTerrorism #VictimsofTerrorism Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism / Herdenking en Eerbetoon aan de Slachtoffers van Terrorisme 2026

The Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2017.

In its resolution 72/165 (2017), the General Assembly, established the International Day of Remembrance of and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism to be commemorated annually on 21 August, in order to honour and support the victims and survivors of terrorism and to promote and protect the full enjoyment of their human rights and fundamental freedoms. In April 2020, mandated by General Assembly resolution 73/305, the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres published his report on the ‘Progress of the UN system to support Member States in assisting victims of terrorism’ (A/74/790), which calls for the ‘enhancement of international cooperation to assist victims of terrorism’. Member States, through the biennial review resolutions of the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy have emphasized the important role of victims of terrorism in countering terrorism, promoting international solidarity, preventing violent extremism, and helping Member States recognize and uphold their human rights, and support their distinct needs.

Since the sixth review of the Strategy (2018), developments at the international, regional, and national levels have increasingly demonstrated that support to victims has moved beyond symbolic solidarity towards a more robust engagement to advance their rights and needs. This is reflected in the establishment in 2019 of a Group of Friends of Victims of Terrorism, and the adoption of General Assembly resolution A/RES/73/305 on the enhancement of international cooperation to assist victims of terrorism. The eighth review resolution, adopted on 22 June 2023 (A/RES/77/298) notes the importance of upholding the rights and supporting the needs of victims of terrorism, in particular of women, children and those affected by sexual and gender-based violence committed by terrorists. It encourages all Member States to develop national comprehensive assistance plans for victims of terrorism and their families to address the immediate-, short- and long-term needs of victims of terrorism. The resolution welcomed the first United Nations Global Congress of Victims of Terrorism, held in September 2022 at UN Headquarters, encourages the UN Office of Counter-Terrorism, through the Global Victims of Terrorism Support Programme and the United Nations Victims of Terrorism Support Portal, to continue to raise awareness on victims of terrorism and the promotion and protection of their rights. This includes strengthening the capacity of Member States to assist victims of terrorism and strengthen their engagement with relevant civil society and private sector organisations, which can play a valuable role in assisting and supporting victims of terrorism.

An ‘unprecedented’ El Niño and its implications for the weather forecast – publication

Latest global rainfall forecasts and the historical impact of El Niño. The rainfall forecast on the left indicates the chances of very low seasonal rainfall averaged over September-November. Red areas are most at risk and in many cases they agree with historical El Niño impacts (right)

2026 is going to be renowned for the development of the largest El Niño in living memory and what is probably the largest such event since the 19th century.

Analysis of historical data and computer simulations highlight the anomalous global rainfall patterns from El Niño, these are also well documented in a variety of impacts and humanitarian studies which detail the more sector-specific impacts. The Indian summer monsoon is one of the regional weather patterns affected as El Niño grows and it is already running well below normal rainfall. Other regions at risk of low rainfall include Central America, west Pacific nations and tropical South America. El Niño also affects tropical cyclones and suppresses Atlantic hurricanes by increasing wind shear in the tropical Atlantic. Consistent with this, there have only been three storms so far this season, but it only takes one large hurricane to lead to devastating impacts. The El Niño is now growing towards its peak in winter, and the impacts will affect not only the tropics but also the mid latitudes and so southern Africa and north-east Australia are expected to be at heightened risk of drought. The Met Office expects the influence of El Niño to start to increase the chances of wetter, stormier conditions for NW Europe, including the UK, in the coming autumn and early winter.

Vroege Vogels Radio | 23 augustus 2026 (Radio 1 NPO)

Vroege Vogels

Vroege Vogels is een live-radioprogramma, tv-programma en online community van BNNVARA over natuur en milieu.

In het radioprogramma wordt het gesproken woord omlijst door licht klassieke muziek en salonmuziek. Het radioprogramma werd in 1978 voor het eerst uitgezonden door de VARA en is een van de langst lopende en best beluisterde radioprogramma’s van de publieke omroep. Het wordt elke zondagmorgen uitgezonden tussen 07:00 en 10:00 op NPO Radio 1. De beginmuziek is een bewerking van Vivaldi’s “Piccolo Concerto in C major” (RV 443).

Bosbranden, droogte en extreem lage rivierwaterstanden: Klimaatverandering is een bloedserieus thema. Dat ziet ook minister van Klimaat en Groene Groei Stientje van Veldhoven, maar worden de klimaatdoelen wel gehaald? Achter namen als vuurwants, groene stinkwants en bedwants schuilt een verrassend rijke en kleurrijke wereld. We spreken we met entomoloog Berend Aukema over zijn nieuwe Veldgids Wantsen. In 2009 woedde in de Schoorlse duinen een grote brand. Om te zien hoe dit duingebied zich na deze ramp heeft herstelt gaan we op pad met boswachter Jeroen Pater van Staatsbosbeheer. Verder in de uitzending: egelles, Brabara Gravendeel van de Hortus Botanicus Leiden, een nieuw aquatisch fossiel, motmuggen en de soundscape van Europa deel II. De column is van Hans Sibbel. Vogels Radio wordt gepresenteerd door Menno Bentveld vanuit het Groene Huis in Amersfoort.

Amsterdam City Swim 2026

Amsterdam City Swim

Zondag 6 september 2026 wordt in de Amsterdamse grachten zwemmend zoveel mogelijk geld opgehaald om de dodelijke ziekte Amyotrofe laterale sclerose (ALS) de wereld uit te helpen.

Duizenden zwemmers leggen een parcours van 700 meter of 2 kilometer af, dwars door het mooie Amsterdam, om zoveel mogelijk geld op te halen voor Stichting ALS. De spierziekte ALS is nog steeds onomkeerbaar en wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar een oplossing voor deze dodelijke ziekte blijft dan ook hard nodig.

World Mosquito Day / Wereld Muggen Dag 2026

World Mosquito Dayobserved annually on 20 August, is a commemoration of British doctor Sir Ronald Ross’s discovery in 1897 that female anopheline mosquitoes transmit malaria between humans, thus confirming the mosquito-malaria theory, an idea that had been building in recent years through the work of various contributors such as Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran and Patrick Manson.

Prior to the discovery of the transmitting organism, vector, there were few means for controlling the spread of the disease although the discovery of quinine in treatment had alleviated the problem of treatment. According to one survey, nearly half the world population was at significant risk from malaria in the 19th century with a 10% mortality among those infected. Ross had already conducted experiments with Culex (possibly C. fatigans) fed on birds infected with bird malaria Protesoma relictum (now Plasmodium relictum) in 1894 and noted that they developed in mosquito gut and had surmised that the same may happen in malaria. The discovery was made in a small laboratory in Begumpet area of SecunderabadHyderabad. Today the laboratory is known as the Sir Ronald Ross Institute of Parasitology and houses a small museum on Ross and his malaria research. The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine holds Mosquito Day celebrations every year, including events such as parties and exhibitions. The event was inspired by a tea party honouring Ross held on 20 August 1931 by the Ross Institute and Hospital for Tropical Diseases, which merged with the School in 1934.
