SUMMARY:#OceanDecade UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development
DESCRIPTION:The UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (UNDOS) is a United Nations Decade that runs from 2021 to 2030\, with a vision of “the science we need for the ocean we want”. \nUNDOS offers a framework to strengthen connections and weave partnerships between all communities working to study\, conserve\, and sustainably use the ocean and its resources. The Decade will boost scientific research in this area. Environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) research in relationship to oceans tackles fundamental questions of “who gets what?” (justice and allocation)\, “who gets to decide?” (democracy and power)\, “how are current systems maintained?” (architecture and agency)\, and “how do these systems change?” (in the present: agency\, adaptiveness and reflexivity; and in the future: anticipation and imagination). Scholars of ESG say that their research is instrumental in addressing governance-related needs of UNDOS. \nFirst\, it can identify salient frames for ocean problems that trigger policy action. \nSecond\, it can inform stakeholder involvement by mapping powerful and marginalized interests and suggesting pathways towards more inclusive participation. \nThird\, it can support viable and effective ocean solutions based on insights into political support coalitions and governance design. \nMainstreaming of governance research into ocean science has also been recommended: The ESG community can facilitate this mainstreaming by enhancing knowledge cumulation around ocean issues within the network; engaging more strongly in the production of actionable and action-oriented knowledge; and seeking integration into inter- and transdisciplinary ocean research. Sub-topics where ESG with regards to ocean governance can be applied are for example governance issues around deep sea mining\, ocean acidification\, marine biodiversity. \nLinks:\nUN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development \n2025 UN Ocean Conference \nStop diepzeemijnbouw voor het begint / Stop diepzeemijnbouw : Noorwegen\, zeg NEE tegen diepzeemijnbouw! – petities \n#30thSessionCouncil #DeepSeabed #TheArea #UNCLOS 30th Session of the International Seabed Authority Part I (TV ISA Web TV) \nVPRO #Tegenlicht : de strijd om de diepzee (TV internet / NPO 2) \nLive session with Free Range Ocean

SUMMARY:Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030
DESCRIPTION:In September 2020\, the UN General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/74/299 “Improving global road safety”\, proclaiming the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030\, with the ambitious target of preventing at least 50% of road traffic deaths and injuries by 2030. \nWHO and the UN regional commissions\, in cooperation with other partners in the UN Road Safety Collaboration\, have developed a Global Plan for the Decade of Action\, which was released in October 2021. The Global Plan aligns with the Stockholm Declaration\, by emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach to road safety\, and calling on continued improvements in the design of roads and vehicles; enhancement of laws and law enforcement; and provision of timely\, life-saving emergency care for the injured. The Global Plan also reflects the Stockholm Declaration’s promotion of policies to promote walking\, cycling and using public transport as inherently healthy and environmentally sound modes of transport. Progress made during the previous Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020 has laid the foundation for accelerated action in the years ahead. Among achievements are inclusion of road safety on the global health and development agenda\, broad dissemination of scientific guidance on what works\, strengthening of partnerships and networks\, and mobilization of resources. This new Decade of Action provides an opportunity for harnessing the successes and lessons of previous years and building upon them to save more lives. \nLinks:\nDecade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030 \n#WDoR2023 World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims 2023

SUMMARY:United Nations 80th anniversary
DESCRIPTION:In 2025\, the United Nations (UN) marks its 80th anniversary\, celebrating eight decades of promoting peace\, human rights\, social progress\, and sustainable development worldwide; the theme of the celebration ‘Building Our Future Together’ underscores the Organization’s evolution\, its continued relevance\, and its mission to address today’s global challenges. \nThe UN is a global intergovernmental organization established by the signing of the UN Charter on 26 June 1945 with the articulated mission of maintaining international peace and security\, to develop friendly relations among states\, to promote international cooperation\, and to serve as a centre for harmonizing the actions of states in achieving those goals. United Nations Day marks the anniversary of the entry into force on October 24th\, 1945 of the UN Charter. Celebrated every year\, UN Day offers the opportunity to amplify our common agenda and reaffirm the purposes and principles of the UN Charter that have guided us for the past 80 years. The United Nations headquarters is located in New York City\, with several other offices located in Geneva\, Nairobi\, Vienna\, and The Hague. The UN comprises six principal organizations: the General Assembly\, the Security Council\, the Economic and Social Council\, the International Court of Justice\, the Secretariat\, and the Trusteeship Council which\, together with several specialized agencies and related agencies\, make up the United Nations System. There are in total 193 member states and 2 observer states. The UN has primarily focused on economic and social development\, particularly during the wave of decolonization in the mid-20th century. The UN has been recognized as a leader of peace and human development\, with many officers and agencies having been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize\, but has also been criticized for perceived ineffectiveness\, bias\, and corruption. \nLinks:\nThe United Nations at 80 Building our future together \nUnited Nations 80th General Assembly High-level Week 2025 \nVN viert 80e verjaardag in crisis: mensenrechten onder druk

SUMMARY:#UNday Dag van de Verenigde Naties 2025
DESCRIPTION:De Verenigde Naties (afkorting: VN) vormen een internationale organisatie die op 24 oktober 1945\, in 2025 80 jaar geleden\, werd opgericht door 51 landen. \nDe VN wordt beschouwd als de opvolger van de Volkenbond (League of Nations). Het is een intergouvernementele organisatie die samenwerkt op het gebied van het internationale recht\, mondiale veiligheid\, behoud van mensenrechten\, ontwikkeling van de wereldeconomie en het onderzoek naar maatschappelijke en culturele ontwikkelingen. De organisatie telt 193 lidstaten sinds 14 juli 2011. Vrijwel elk internationaal erkend\, onafhankelijk land is lid van de organisatie. Vanuit het hoofdkantoor in New York en de deelhoofdkantoren in Genève\, Wenen en Nairobi beslissen de lidstaten en de gespecialiseerde organisaties van de Verenigde Naties tijdens reguliere ontmoetingen over essentiële wereldzaken en wereldomvattende gebeurtenissen. Sinds eind jaren 1990 is de organisatie zich ook meer gaan richten op interne ontwikkelingen en hoe de Verenigde Naties mee kunnen groeien met de vraag naar een nieuwe methode van wereldwijde samenwerking. Er zijn zes bestuursorganen die de werkzaamheden van de organisatie aansturen: de Algemene Vergadering\, de Economische en Sociale Raad\, het Internationaal Gerechtshof\, het Secretariaat\, de (tegenwoordig inactieve) Trustschapsraad en het meest dwingende en bekendste orgaan van de Verenigde Naties\, de Veiligheidsraad. Daarnaast zijn er diverse gespecialiseerde organisaties die deel uitmaken van het interne systeem van de Verenigde Naties\, waaronder UNESCO\, de Wereldbank en de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie (WHO). Tevens hebben de Verenigde Naties gespecialiseerde programma’s\, zoals UNICEF en het Ontwikkelingsprogramma van de Verenigde Naties (UNDP). \nLinks:\nUnited Nations Day 24 October \nSecretary-General’s message for UN Day\, 2025 \nThe United Nations at 80

SUMMARY:Disarmament Week 2025
DESCRIPTION:Disarmament Week seeks to promote awareness and better understanding of disarmament issues and their cross-cutting importance. \nStarting on 24 October\, the anniversary of the founding of the United Nations\, the week-long annual observance was first called for in the Final Document of the General Assembly’s 1978 special session on disarmament (resolution S-10/2). In 1995\, the General Assembly invited governments\, as well as NGOs\, to continue taking an active part in Disarmament Week (resolution 50/72 B\, 12 December 1995) in order to promote a better understanding among the public of disarmament issues. Throughout history\, countries have pursued disarmament to build a safer\, more secure world and to protect people from harm. Since the foundation of the United Nations\, disarmament and arms control have played a critical role in preventing and ending crises and armed conflict. Heightened tensions and dangers are better resolved through serious political dialogue and negotiation—not by more arms. 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 excessive accumulation and illicit trade in conventional weapons jeopardize international peace and security and sustainable development\, while the use of heavy conventional weapons in populated areas is seriously endangering civilians. \nNew and emerging weapon technologies\, such as autonomous weapons\, imperil global security and have received increased attention from the international community in recent years. Measures for disarmament are pursued for many reasons\, including to maintain international peace and security\, uphold the principles of humanity\, protect civilians\, promote sustainable development\, foster confidence and trust among States\, and prevent and end armed conflict. Disarmament and arms control measures help ensure international and human security in the 21st Century and therefore must be an integral part of a credible and effective collective security system. The United Nations continues to celebrate the efforts and involvement of a range of actors contributing to a safer\, more peaceful common future through disarmament\, arms control and non-proliferation efforts. In a world threatened by weapons of mass destruction\, conventional arms and emerging cyberwarfare\, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres presented an agenda for disarmament to save humanity\, save lives and secure our common future. \nLinks:\nDisarmament Week \n2023 UN Disarmament Yearbook

SUMMARY:World Development Information Day 2025
DESCRIPTION:In 1972\, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly established World Development Information Day to draw the attention of the world to development problems and the need to strengthen international cooperation to solve them (resolution 3038(XXVII)). \nThe Assembly decided that the date for the Day should coincide with United Nations Day\, 24 October\, which was also the date of the adoption\, in 1970\, of the International Development Strategy for the Second United Nations Development Decade. Since the 1970s\, Governments dedicated themselves to the fundamental objectives enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations to create conditions of stability and well-being and to ensure a minimum standard of living consistent with human dignity through economic and social progress and development. The launching of the First United Nations Development Decade in 1961 marked a major world-wide endeavor to give concrete substance to that solemn pledge. Since then\, attempts have continued to adopt measures for that purpose. Unfortunately\, however\, the standard of living for millions of people in the world is still pitifully low: they are often still undernourished\, uneducated\, unemployed and wanting in many basic amenities. Nonetheless\, the current frustrations and disappointments must not be allowed to cloud the vision or stand in the way of the development objectives. The success of international development activities depend in large measure on improvement in the general international situation that requires concrete progress particularly in the promotion of equal political\, economic\, social and cultural rights for all members of society. The ultimate objective of development must be to bring about sustained improvement in the well-being of the individual and to bestow benefits on all. If undue privilege\, extremes of wealth\, and social injustice persist\, then development fails in its essential purpose. The international community must rise to the challenge of the present age of unprecedented opportunities offered by science and technological advances\, such that they may be equitably shared by all countries and\, in turn\, may contribute to the accelerated economic development throughout the world. \nLinks:\nWorld Development Information Day

SUMMARY:#GlobalMILWeek Global Media and Information Literacy Week 2025
DESCRIPTION:In 2021\, the UN General Assembly decided (A/RES/75/267) to commemorate Media and Information Literacy (MIL) week\, citing the need for the dissemination of factual\, timely\, targeted\, clear\, accessible\, multilingual and science-based information. \nThe resolution recognizes that the substantial digital divide and data inequalities that exist among different countries and within them\, can be addressed in part by improving people’s competencies to seek\, receive and impart information in the digital realm. In the current ecosystem of complex and sometimes contradictory messages and meanings\, it is hard to conceive of the public good being advanced\, if the public is disempowered in the face of opportunities and threats. Each individual needs to be equipped with media and information literacy competencies to understand the stakes\, and to contribute to and benefit from information and communication opportunities. Global Media and Information Literacy Week\, commemorated annually\, is a major occasion for stakeholders to review and celebrate the progress achieved towards “Media and Information Literacy for All.” Our brains depend on information to work optimally. The quality of information we engage with largely determines our perceptions\, beliefs and attitudes. It could be information from other persons\, the media\, libraries\, archives\, museums\, publishers\, or other information providers including those on the Internet. \nPeople across the world are witnessing a dramatic increase in access to information and communication. While some people are starved for information\, others are flooded with print\, broadcast and digital content. Media and Information Literacy (MIL) provides answers to the questions that we all ask ourselves at some point. How can we access\, search\, critically assess\, use and contribute content wisely\, both online and offline? What are our rights online and offline? What are the ethical issues surrounding the access and use of information? How can we engage with media and information and communications technologies (ICTs) to promote equality\, intercultural and interreligious dialogue\, peace\, freedom of expression and access to information? Through capacity-building resources\, such as curricula development\, policy guidelines and articulation\, and assessment framework\, UNESCO supports the development of MIL competencies among people. \n2025 Theme: “Minds Over AI” – MIL in Digital Spaces. Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the way information is produced\, distributed\, and consumed in digital spaces. As AI technologies become more integrated into everyday communication\, shaping news feeds\, search results\, and even content creation\, the need for strong media and information literacy (MIL) has become increasingly urgent. MIL equips individuals with the critical thinking skills necessary to recognize\, evaluate\, and responsibly interact with AI-generated content. It empowers people to question sources\, understand algorithmic influence\, and make informed decisions in a digital environment dominated by automated systems. Emphasizing “Minds Over AI\,” the focus is on ensuring that human judgment\, ethics\, and critical awareness guide the use and interpretation of AI in our media landscapes. \nLinks:\nGlobal Media and Information Literacy Week
