United Nations, New York, 26 February 2010 - Video Message from UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on the occasion of International Women's day 2010.
The fight for women's rights is central to the UN's global mission.
Fifteen years ago, in Beijing, Governments committed themselves to equality, development and peace for all women, in all countries.
The Beijing Declaration was a landmark on the road to women's empowerment.
It has guided policy making.
It has inspired women and girls to strive for equality and opportunity, and reminded everyone that this is their right.
We have seen progress.
Girls are now more likely to receive an education.
Women are now more likely to run businesses or participate in government.
But much work remains.
Death in childbirth is still too common. Too few women have access to family planning.
Violence against women remains a cause of global shame, and sexual violence in war is endemic.
I have just appointed a special representative to mobilize international action to address these crimes.
At the United Nations itself, we have more women in senior posts than at any time in history.
Securing women's rights is central to all our hopes for peace, security and sustainable development.
As we look back on 15 years of achievement, let us look forward to a world of equality and progress for all.

United Nations, New York, 12 June 2009 - Noon briefing by the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. On 13 June 2009, the Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will launch the WMD-WeMustDisarm multiplatform campaign, beginning the 100-day countdown to the International Day of Peace.
The General Assembly decided to commemorate the day annually on 21 September as a day of global ceasefire and non-violence. This year, the theme focuses on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.
Joining the Secretary-General in promoting the campaign are:
* UN Messenger of Peace and Academy Award-winning actor and producer Michael Douglas, who has championed the cause of disarmament for the UN since 1998; and
* Rainn Wilson, featured actor in the American television comedy, The Office, who has more than 800,000 followers on Twitter;
Over the next 100 days leading up to 21 September, they, along with the Secretary-General, will raise awareness of the costs and dangers of nuclear weapons by issuing a daily message, via Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, email and radio, urging the world to disarm. The Secretary-General is taking the lead by issuing the first 10 tweets of the campaign.
We would also like to encourage any one wishing to get involved to send tweets on nuclear disarmament and non proliferation, re-tweet the Secretary-Generals messages, sign up to dedicated Facebook or MySpace pages, or all of the above.
In his message to mark the 100-day countdown to the International Day of Peace, the Secretary-General said, As we observe the International Day of Peace with world leaders gathered in New York for the 64th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, I will proclaim one strong, simple message: We Must Disarm!

In the first of a series of mini-films, Excellent Development explains how its approach to creating development through conservation is benefiting communities in Kenya.
In addition to exploring each individual element of the charities holistic approach to soil and water conservation, these films also offer a valuable insight into how Sand Dams, a key element of Excellent Development's approach, represent an effective and necessary small-scale approach to strengthening communities' long-term sustainability.
Whilst being critical to improving water supplies, food production, health and incomes for communities in semi-arid Kenya, sand dams are also a grassroots answer to fighting climate change, a benefit recently reinforced by the release of the government commissioned Stern Report.
The Stern Report has renewed attention on the impacts of climate change in Africa highlighting their uneven distribution, with the poorest countries being most affected.
Simon Maddrell, Excellent Development co-founder comments, "The development challenges in semi-arid Africa are completely different to the industrial nations. In semi-arid Africa it is conservation that can actually create sustainable development. Water and soil conservation provides farmers with the environment to create livelihoods by creating oases in semi-arid lands that can support water and food security. Arguably, the communities we are working with are doing far more to reverse the impacts of climate change than any of us in the West. They deserve our support, not just because they struggle to sustain their lives, but as global citizens concerned with the future of our planet."

Are you feeling the pain of the global economic crisis? Most of us are. -- In the shops, at the fuel pumps, at the money distributor. All over the world, the poorest among us are struggling to survive,
struggling to provide food, or wondering when they will eat again.
Just as we are all affected by the situation, we can all change it. Do you want to do something about it? You and I can change the world;
make it a better place for you and all our children.
Globalization makes our task all the more easy. The children are our future. Their hope is in your hands. What happens to children in their first period of their lives is essential in their
development (intellectually, emotionally, socially, physically and morally), and thus the development of our society and the world.
I am SHOCKED at seeing the NEWS
"Children being Killed while going to school. Wars in many Regions of our Planet! The Financial Crisis that is destroying millions of honest Families!
For Political Reasons!?!"
World Peace is possible with our FUTURO World Peace Plan.

United Nations, New York, January 24 2011 - 2010 was one of the deadliest years for natural disasters in the past two decades and unless better preparations are put in place now, many more disasters can be expected in years to come, the UN's top disaster reduction official said today.
Some 373 natural disasters claimed the lives of more than 296,800 people last year, affecting nearly 208 million and costing nearly $110 billion, according to annual data compiled by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) of the Université catholique de Louvain in Belgium, and supported by the UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR), the UN body charged with helping coordinate efforts to achieve substantive reduction in disaster losses and build resilient nations and communities.

Irena Salina's award-winning documentary investigation into what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century - The World Water Crisis.
Salina builds a case against the growing privatization of the world's dwindling fresh water supply with an unflinching focus on politics, pollution, human rights, and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel.
Interviews with scientists and activists intelligently reveal the rapidly building crisis, at both the global and human scale, and the film introduces many of the governmental and corporate culprits behind the water grab, while begging the question 'CAN ANYONE REALLY OWN WATER?'
Beyond identifying the problem, FLOW also gives viewers a look at the people and institutions providing practical solutions to the water crisis and those developing new technologies, which are fast becoming blueprints for a successful global and economic turnaround.

MDG 4: Reduce Child Mortality aims to reduce the under‐five mortality rate by two‐thirds between 1990 and 2015. Malaria is a leading killer of children in Africa, where a child dies every 30 seconds from a malaria infection. Bed nets work by creating a protective barrier against deadly, malaria-carrying mosquitoes that bite at night. Nothing But Nets partners with the United Nations to deliver the nets to even the most hard-to-reach areas of Africa. For just $10 we can buy a bed net, distribute it to a family, and explain its use. You and your community play a vital role in reducing child mortality. Take action to raise awareness of the MDGs and help the world reduce child mortality by 2015 at www.unfoundation.org.

This video is the center piece for the Nothing But Nets Campaign to send bed nets to Africa. Millions of people die of malaria each year and we're working to stop this.

Global Peace Service Alliance provides the framework for the meaningful peace building, but reconciling enemies, embittered by violence, is not easy. It requires work, says Yeqing Li, secretary general of Youth Federation for World Peace, who traveled to Mindanao to support the festival. But the dream of peace, of one human family, is in the hearts of all people. When people taste peace they find it is sweeter than the enmity they are holding. This is what the GPF can offer.

United Nations, 4 October 2010 - Governments, the private sector and civil society have to work much more closely together if the world is to build and sustain better cities, which are now home to more than half the global population, United Nations officials said today.
Marking World Habitat Day, whose theme this year is "Better City, Better Life," Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon issued a message spotlighting the effect that smart policies and actions can have on the well-being of the estimated 1 billion people worldwide who live in slums or other forms of sub-standard housing.

Today, UNICEF fights for every child's right to survive and thrive into adulthood.
UNICEF is the global authority on children. No other organization has UNICEF's experience, expertise and reach.
Every child is born with fundamental human rights: the right to health care and education. The right to be treated equally, and protected from harm. UNICEF is the unifying force that helps build a world where these rights are realized, for every child.
Yet today, conflict, disease, exploitation and poor education keep millions of children from reaching their full potential. And when children are held back, so is our world. UNICEF's mission is to create a better world, by advocating for the protection of children's rights. To do this, we bring people together: governments, donors, humanitarian agencies, businesses and children themselves.
For every child, health, education, equality, protection.
This is what UNICEF does.

Raised in Vancouver and Toronto, Severn Cullis-Suzuki has been camping and hiking all her life. When she was 9 she started the Environmental Children's Organization (ECO), a small group of children committed to learning and teaching other kids about environmental issues. They were successful in many projects before 1992, when they raised enough money to go to the UN's Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Their aim was to remind the decision-makers of who their actions or inactions would ultimately affect. The goal was reached when 12 yr old Severn closed a Plenary Session with a powerful speech that received a standing ovation.

MaximsNewsNetwork: 30 October 2009 - UNTV - United Nations: UN officials pay tribute to the five UN staff killed on Wednesday after a deadly attack in Kabul. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon calls for more political, material and financial support for UN staff security.
Top UN officials today (30 October) paid tribute to the five UN staff killed on Wednesday in a deadly attack in Kabul, calling for urgent improvements in the security arrangements for UN staff.
After a moment of silence in honor of the fallen colleagues, Secretary-General Ban Ki moon, told a town-hall meting that too often we take our security for granted, and appealed for more political, material and financial support for staff security from member states. He added that despite the clear need our security management system continues to suffer from resource constraints.
The Head of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Helen Clark told the meeting that these horrific acts test our courage not only to do our jobs in the field, but also to hold fast to the ideals that took us there, and voiced support for the Secretary-Generals call to do the utmost to fund and support us in providing the best possible security arrangements in such environments.
The Executive Director of the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) Ann Veneman said that the incident in Kabul was yet another painful reminder of how UN staff continue to work in difficult and dangerous environments to assist those who are most in need and concluded that insuring the safety of humanitarian workers is of utmost priority.
Yesterday, the Security Council, in a presidential statement, voiced support for the measures already taken by Ban to ensure staff security and said it looked forward to further detailed proposals by him. It also commended the determination of the UN not to be deterred by the tragic incident and to carry on its mission in Afghanistan.

United Nations, New York, 11 January 2010 - Heralding 2010 as the year of development, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today underscored the urgent need to ensure that action is accelerated to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), eight anti-poverty targets with a 2015 deadline.
We live in an age of insecurity, Mr. Ban told reporters at United Nations Headquarters.
