SUMMARY:Moody’s 8th Annual US Project Finance Conference
DESCRIPTION:Risks of financing the transition to a carbon-free economy and new transportation\, digital infrastructure\, and real estate related projects amid a softer economic outlook [online event]\nWelcome\,\nEngage with seasoned analysts from Moody’s Investors Service to discuss the risks of financing the transition to a carbon-free economy\, our 2024 US transportation sector outlooks\, and new credit trends in the US project finance market. \nMark Zandi\, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics\, joins us to discuss his economic outlook for 2024 amid rising uncertainty and softening expectations for future growth. We will examine the implications of this economic outlook on financings related to the transition to a carbon-free economy\, the current state of new technologies to help with this transition and how utilities are maintaining reliability as renewables increase and more transmission investments are needed. \nOur lineup also offers opportunities to delve into examples of how higher interest rates have influenced project financing structures and what we expect to continue in 2024. Changing market dynamics have resulted in several new data center\, digital infrastructure\, real estate related and EV charging projects that each have their own unique risk profiles to be considered project financings. Analysts will share how projects have addressed construction cost inflation and supply chain disruptions and how these evolving risks may be mitigated in some cases. \nThis event is online-only. \nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:International Girls in ICT Leadership
DESCRIPTION:This year’s theme for the Girls in ICT day celebrations is “Leadership“\, to underscore the critical need for strong female role models in science\, technology\, engineering\, and mathematics (STEM) careers. \nAlthough women now fill 40% of high-skill occupations globally\, their participation in ICT-related fields continues to be low. \n\nWomen are nearly absent from software development\, engineering\, technology research\, academia as well as at the highest levels of policy making. They also tend to leave science and technology jobs at higher rates than men. \nWhile there is a leadership gender gap in every industry\, the largest gaps are found in the STEM fields. Women in ICT often find themselves in junior or support roles rather than in managerial roles\, with little opportunity for advancement. They are also less likely to hold an executive position\, become ICT entrepreneurs\, or be represented among science and technology policymakers. \n\nTo thrive in STEM\, girls and young women must be exposed to women in leadership positions\, fostering inspiration and breaking down barriers that hinder their progress. The Girls in ICT Day 2024 theme aims to address these challenges\, encouraging empowerment and leadership development for a more equitable future in STEM. \nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:World Interfaith Harmony Week
DESCRIPTION:Uniting for peace\nWorld Interfaith Harmony Week is an annual event observed during the first week of February\, since the General Assembly designation in 2010. The General Assembly pointed out that mutual understanding and interreligious dialogue constitute important dimensions of a culture of peace and established World Interfaith Harmony Week as a way to promote harmony between all people regardless of their faith. \nRecognizing the imperative need for dialogue among different faiths and religions to enhance mutual understanding\, harmony and cooperation among people\, the General Assembly encourages all States to spread the message of interfaith harmony and goodwill in the world’s churches\, mosques\, synagogues\, temples and other places of worship during that week\, on a voluntary basis and according to their own religious traditions or convictions. \nOrigin and history\nWorld Interfaith Harmony Week (WIHW)\, conceived to promote a culture peace and nonviolence\, was first proposed by King Abdullah II of Jordan at the United Nations in 2010. This was quickly adopted by the UN General Assembly (resolution A/RES/65/5)\, declaring the first week of February each year as World Interfaith Harmony week\, calling on governments\, institutions and civil society to observe it with various programs and initiatives that would promote the aim of the WIHW objectives. \nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:International Day of Human Fraternity
DESCRIPTION:Human fraternity for peace and cooperation\nWe need — perhaps more than ever before — to recognize the valuable contribution of people of all religions\, or beliefs\, to humanity and the contribution that dialogue among all religious groups can make towards an improved awareness and understanding of the common values shared by all humankind. \nWe also need to underline the importance of raising awareness about different cultures and religions\, or beliefs\, and the promotion of tolerance\, which involves societal acceptance and respect for religious and cultural diversity\, including with regard to religious expression. Education\, in particular at school\, should contribute in a meaningful way to promoting tolerance and the elimination of discrimination based on religion or belief. \nFurthermore\, we must acknowledge that  tolerance\,  pluralistic  tradition\,  mutual  respect  and  the diversity of religions and beliefs promote human fraternity. Thus\, it is imperative that we encourage activities  aimed  at  promoting  interreligious  and  intercultural dialogue in  order to  enhance peace  and social  stability\,  respect for  diversity and mutual respect and to create\, at the global level\, and also at the regional\, national and local levels\, an environment conducive to peace and mutual understanding. \nWithin that frame\, the General-Assembly took note of  all  international\,  regional\,  national  and  local  initiatives\,  as appropriate\,  as  well as  efforts  by religious leaders\, to promote interreligious and intercultural dialogue\, and in this regard took note also of the meeting between Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar\, Ahmad al-Tayyib\, on 4 February 2019 in Abu Dhabi\, which resulted in the signing of the document entitled “Human fraternity for world peace and living together”. \n\n\nBackground\nFollowing the devastation of the Second World War\, the United Nations was established to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war. One of its purposes is to achieve international cooperation in solving international problems\, including by promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race\, sex\, language or religion. \nIn 1999\, The General-Assembly adopted\, by resolution 53/243\, the Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace\, which serves as the universal mandate for the international community\, particularly the United Nations system\, to promote a culture of peace and non-violence that benefits all of humanity\, including future generations. \nThe declaration came about as a result of the long-held and cherished concept — contained within the Constitution of UNESCO — that “since wars begin in the minds of men\, it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed.” The Declaration embraces the principle that peace is not merely the absence of conflict\, but also requires a positive\, dynamic participatory process\, in which dialogue is encouraged and conflicts are resolved in a spirit of mutual understanding and cooperation. \nOn 20 October 2010\, the General Assembly in resolution A/RES/65/5 pointed out that mutual understanding and interreligious dialogue constitute important dimensions of a culture of peace and established World Interfaith Harmony Week as a way to promote harmony between all people regardless of their faith. It further recognized the imperative need for dialogue among different faiths and religions to enhance mutual understanding\, harmony and cooperation among people. \nAt the core of all the faith systems and traditions is the recognition that we are all in this together and that we need to love and support one another to live in harmony and peace in an environmentally sustainable world. Our world continues to be beset by conflict and intolerance with rising number of refugees and the internally displaced in a hostile and unwelcoming world around them. We are also\, unfortunately\, witnessing messages of hate spreading discord among people. The need for spiritual guidance has never been greater. It is imperative that we double our efforts to spread the message of good neighborliness based on our common humanity\, a message shared by all faith traditions. \nThe United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 4 February as the International Day of Human Fraternity\, with resolution 75/200. \n\n\n\n\nWhat is the Culture of Peace?\nA culture of peace is a set of values\, attitudes\, traditions and modes of behaviour and ways of life based on: \n\n\nRespect for life\, ending of violence and promotion and practice of non-violence through education\, dialogue and cooperation;\nFull respect for the principles of sovereignty\, territorial integrity and political independence of States and non-intervention in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any State\, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and international law;\nFull respect for and promotion of all human rights and fundamental freedoms;\nCommitment to peaceful settlement of conflicts;\nEfforts to meet the developmental and environmental needs of present and future generations;\nRespect for and promotion of the right to development; Respect for and promotion of equal rights and opportunities for women and men;\nRespect for and promotion of the right of everyone to freedom of expression\, opinion and information;\nAdherence to the principles of freedom\, justice\, democracy\, tolerance\, solidarity\, cooperation\, pluralism\, cultural diversity\, dialogue and understanding at all levels of society and among nations; and fostered by an enabling national and international environment conducive to peace.\n\n\n\n\nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation
DESCRIPTION:Ending Female Genital Mutilation by 2030\nFemale genital mutilation (FGM) comprises all procedures that involve altering or injuring the female genitalia for non-medical reasons and is recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights\, the health and the integrity of girls and women. \nGirls who undergo female genital mutilation face short-term complications such as severe pain\, shock\, excessive bleeding\, infections\, and difficulty in passing urine\, as well as long-term consequences for their sexual and reproductive health and mental health. \nAlthough primarily concentrated in 30 countries in Africa and the Middle East\, female genital mutilation is a universal issue and is also practiced in some countries in Asia and Latin America. Female genital mutilation continues to persist amongst immigrant populations living in Western Europe\, North America\, Australia and New Zealand. \nOver the last three decades\, the prevalence of FGM has declined globally. Today\, a girl is one-third less likely to undergo FGM than 30 years ago. However\, sustaining these achievements in the face of humanitarian crises such as disease outbreaks\, climate change\, armed conflict and more could cause a rollback of progress toward achieving gender equality and the elimination of FGM by 2030. \nMore than 200 million girls and women alive today have undergone female genital mutilation. This year\, nearly 4.4 million girls will be at risk of this harmful practice. This equates to more than 12\,000 cases every day. \nWith seven years remaining in this decade of action\, our collective actions must be centered around creating environments where girls and women can exercise their power and choice\, enjoying full rights to health\, education\, and safety. And this is possible through investments in initiatives led by survivors of female genital mutilation who are challenging harmful gender and social norms. Their voices and actions can transform deeply rooted social and gender norms\, allowing girls and women to realize their rights and potential in terms of health\, education\, income\, and equality. \nTo promote the elimination of female genital mutilation\, coordinated and systematic efforts are needed\, and they must engage whole communities and focus on human rights\, gender equality\, sexual education and attention to the needs of women and girls who suffer from its consequences. \n\n2024 Theme: Her Voice. Her Future\nInvesting in Survivors-Led Movements to End Female Genital Mutilation\nIn 2012\, the UN General Assembly designated February 6th as the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation\, with the aim to amplify and direct the efforts on the elimination of this practice. \nFor more than a decade\, the Joint Programme has supported survivors of FGM\, prioritizing investments in survivor-led initiatives\, centered around empowerment\, agency and access to essential services. \nThere is an urgent need for even more targeted\, coordinated and sustained and concerted efforts if we are to achieve our common goal of ending female genital mutilation by 2030. Every survivor’s voice is a call to action\, and every choice they make in reclaiming their lives contributes to the global movement to end this harmful practice. \nJoin us on 6 February 2024 in our call to action. Share with the world how you support #HerVoiceMatters in leading the #EndFGM movement. \nUN Action\nAlthough the practice has been around for more than a thousand years\, ending female genital mutilation within this generation is still possible if we accelerate our progress 10 time faster. That is why the United Nations strives for its full elimination by 2030\, following the spirit of Sustainable Development Goal 5. \nSince 2008\, UNFPA\, jointly with UNICEF\, leads the largest global programme to accelerate the elimination of female genital mutilation. The Joint Programme currently focuses on 17 countries in Africa and the Middle East and also supports regional and global initiatives. \nOver the years\, this partnership has seen significant achievements. As of last year\, the Joint Programme supported more than 11\,000 organizations\, of which 83 per cent were grassroots organizations partnering with coalitions and survivor-led movements\, advocating for changes in policies and laws\, and championing changes to social and gender norms. [source: 2022 Annual Report on FGM). \n#EndFGM \n\n\nDid You Know?\n\n\n\nThere are over 200 million girls and women alive today who are survivors of FGM.\nGirls are today one third less likely to be subjected to FGM compared to 30 years ago; however\, progress needs to be at least 10 times faster to meet the global target of FGM elimination by 2030.\nIn 2024\, nearly 4.4 million girls – or more than 12\,000 each day – are at risk of female genital mutilation around the world.\n1 in 4 survivors underwent female genital mutilation by a health worker.\nDaughters of FGM survivors are at significant higher risk to undergo FGM compared to daughters of women who have not undergone FGM.\nThe financial cost of health care for FGM survivors is USD 1.4 billion every year.\n\n\nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:World Pulses Day
DESCRIPTION:What are pulses?\nPulses\, also known as legumes\, are the edible seeds of leguminous plants cultivated for food. Dried beans\, lentils and peas are the most commonly known and consumed types of pulses. \nStaples dishes and cuisines from across the world feature pulses\, from hummus in the Mediterranean (chick peas)\, to a traditional full English breakfast (baked navy beans) to Indian dal (peas or lentils). \nPulses do not include crops that are harvested green (e.g. green peas\, green beans)—these are classified as vegetable crops. Also excluded are those crops used mainly for oil extraction (e.g. soybean and groundnuts) and leguminous crops that are used exclusively for sowing purposes (e.g. seeds of clover and alfalfa). \n\nOrigin\n#WorldPulsesDay #LovePulses \nRecognizing their value\, on 20 December 2013\, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution (A/RES/68/231) proclaiming 2016 as the International Year of Pulses (IYP). The celebration of the year\, led by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)\, increased the public awareness of the nutritional and environmental benefits of pulses as part of sustainable food production. \nBuilding on the success of the International Year of Pulses and recognizing their potential to further achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development\, with particular relevance to Sustainable Development Goals 1\, 2\, 3\, 5\, 8\, 12\, 13 and 15\, Burkina Faso proposed the observance of World Pulses Day. \nIn 2019\, the General Assembly proclaimed 10 February as the World Pulses Day (resolution A/RES/73/251). \n\n\n\n\nWhy are pulses important crops?\nNutritional value\nThey are packed with nutrients and have a high protein content\, making them an ideal source of protein particularly in regions where meat and dairy are not physically or economically accessible. Pulses are low in fat and rich in soluble fiber\, which can lower cholesterol and help in the control of blood sugar. Because of these qualities they are recommended by health organizations for the management of non-communicable diseases like diabetes and heart conditions. Pulses have also been shown to help combat obesity. \nFood security\nFor farmers\, pulses are an important crop because they can both sell them and consume them\, which helps farmers maintain household food security and creates economic stability. \nEnvironmental benefits\nThe nitrogen-fixing properties of pulses improve soil fertility\, which increases and extends the productivity of the farmland. By using pulses for intercropping and cover crops\, farmers can also promote farm biodiversity and soil biodiversity\, while keeping harmful pests and diseases at bay. \nFurthermore\, pulses can contribute to climate change mitigation by reducing dependence on the synthetic fertilizers used to introduce nitrogen artificially into the soil. Greenhouse gases are released during the manufacturing and application of these fertilizers\, and their overuse can be detrimental to the environment. \n\n\n\nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:International Day of Women and Girls in Science
DESCRIPTION:Innovate. Demonstrate. Elevate. Advance. Sustain.\n( I.D.E.A.S.)\nBringing Everyone Forward for Sustainable and Equitable Development\nThis year\, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science  (IDWGIS) will focus on the role of Women and Girls and Science as relates to the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) in review at the forthcoming High-Level Political Forum (HLPF)\, namely SDG 6 (clean water and sanitation)\, SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy)\, SDG 9 (industry\, innovation\, and infrastructure)\, SDG 11 (sustainable cities and communities) and SDG17 (means of implementation)\, while following up on discussions on water held during from the “Water Unites Us” 7th IDWGIS\, the 2nd High-Level International Conference on the International Decade for Action on Water for Sustainable Development 2018-2028\, held in Dushanbe\, and the 2nd UN Ocean Conference and its High-Level Symposium on Water held in Lisbon\, as a contribution for the 2023 UN Water Conference\, and other UN Fora. \nIn doing so the IDWGIS aims to connect the International Community to Women and Girls in Science\, strengthening the ties between science\, policy\, and society for strategies oriented towards the future. The IDWGIS will thus showcase best practices\, strategies\, applied solutions in addressing SDGs challenges and opportunities. It will also include for the first time a science workshop for Blind Girls and a session from the BLIND fellow SCIENTISTS on “Science in Braille: Making Science Accessible”. \n\n\nDid you know?\n\n\n\nWomen are typically given smaller research grants than their male colleagues and\, while they represent 33.3% of all researchers\, only 12% of members of national science academies are women.\nIn cutting edge fields such as artificial intelligence\, only one in five professionals (22%) is a woman.\nDespite a shortage of skills in most of the technological fields driving the Fourth Industrial Revolution\, women still account for only 28% of engineering graduates and 40% of graduates in computer science and informatics.\nFemale researchers tend to have shorter\, less well-paid careers. Their work is underrepresented in high-profile journals and they are often passed over for promotion.\n\n\n\nBackground\nA significant gender gap has persisted throughout the years at all levels of science\, technology\, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines all over the world. Even though women have made tremendous progress towards increasing their participation in higher education\, they are still under-represented in these fields. \nGender equality has always been a core issue for the United Nations. Gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls will make a crucial contribution not only to economic development of the world\, but to progress across all the goals and targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development\, as well. \nOn 14 March 2011\, the Commission on the Status of Women adopted a report at its fifty-fifth session\, with agreed conclusions on access and participation of women and girls in education\, training and science and technology\, and for the promotion of women’s equal access to full employment and decent work. On 20 December 2013\, the General Assembly adopted a resolution on science\, technology and innovation for development\, in which it recognized that full and equal access to and participation in science\, technology and innovation for women and girls of all ages is imperative for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls. \nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:International Mother Language Day
DESCRIPTION:Background\nInternational Mother Language Day was proclaimed by the General Conference of the United Nations Educational\, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in November 1999. The idea to celebrate International Mother Language Day was the initiative of Bangladesh. The UN General Assembly welcomed the proclamation of the day in its resolution of 2002. \nOn 16 May 2007 the United Nations General Assembly in its resolution A/RES/61/266 called upon Member States “to promote the preservation and protection of all languages used by peoples of the world”. By the same resolution\, the General Assembly proclaimed 2008 as the International Year of Languages\, to promote unity in diversity and international understanding\, through multilingualism and multiculturalism and named the United Nations Educational\, Scientific and Cultural Organization to serve as the lead agency for the Year. \nToday there is growing awareness that languages play a vital role in development\, in ensuring cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue\, but also in strengthening co-operation and attaining quality education for all\, in building inclusive knowledge societies and preserving cultural heritage\, and in mobilizing political will for applying the benefits of science and technology to sustainable development. \n\nMultilingual education – a necessity to transform education\nGlobally 40 per cent of the population does not have access to an education in a language they speak or understand. But progress is being made in multilingual education with growing understanding of its importance\, particularly in early schooling\, and more commitment to its development in public life. \nInternational Mother Language Day recognizes that languages and multilingualism can advance inclusion\, and the Sustainable Development Goals’ focus on leaving no one behind. UNESCO encourages and promotes multilingual education based on mother tongue or first language. It is a type of education that begins in the language that the learner masters most and then gradually introduces other languages. This approach enables learners whose mother tongue is different from the language of instruction to bridge the gap between home and school\, to discover the school environment in a familiar language\, and thus\, learn better. \nMultilingualism contributes to the development of inclusive societies that allow multiple cultures\, worldviews and knowledge systems to coexist and cross-fertilize. \nThe theme of the 2023 International Mother Language Day\, “Multilingual education – a necessity to transform education” aligns with recommendations made during the Transforming Education Summit\, where an emphasis was also placed on Indigenous people’s education and languages. \nMultilingual education based on mother-tongue facilitates access to and inclusion in learning for population groups that speak non-dominant languages\, languages of minority groups and indigenous languages. \n\nSafeguarding Linguistic Diversity\nLanguages\, with their complex implications for identity\, communication\, social integration\, education and development\, are of strategic importance for people and planet. Yet\, due to globalization processes\, they are increasingly under threat\, or disappearing altogether. When languages fade\, so does the world’s rich tapestry of cultural diversity. Opportunities\, traditions\, memory\, unique modes of thinking and expression — valuable resources for ensuring a better future — are also lost. \nEvery two weeks a language disappears taking with it an entire cultural and intellectual heritage. At least 43% of the estimated 6000 languages spoken in the world are endangered. Only a few hundred languages have genuinely been given a place in education systems and the public domain\, and less than a hundred are used in the digital world. \nMultilingual and multicultural societies exist through their languages\, which transmit and preserve traditional knowledge and cultures in a sustainable way. \nInternational Mother Language Day is observed every year to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism. \nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:International Day for the Prevention of Violent Extremism as and when Conducive to Terrorism
DESCRIPTION:Violent extremism is an affront to the purposes and principles of the United Nations. It undermines peace and security\, human rights and sustainable development. No country or region is immune from its impacts. \nViolent extremism is a diverse phenomenon\, without clear definition. It is neither new nor exclusive to any region\, nationality or system of belief. Nevertheless\, in recent years\, terrorist groups such as Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)\, Al-Qaida and Boko Haram have shaped our image of violent extremism and the debate on how to address this threat. These groups’ message of intolerance — religious\, cultural\, social — has had drastic consequences for many regions of the world. Holding territory and using social media for real-time communication of their atrocious crimes\, they seek to challenge our shared values of peace\, justice and human dignity. \nThe spread of violent extremism has further aggravated an already unprecedented humanitarian crisis which surpasses the boundaries of any one region. Millions of people have fled the territory controlled by terrorist and violent extremist groups. Migratory flows have increased both away\, from\, and towards the conflict zones – involving those seeking safety and those lured into the conflict as foreign terrorist fighters\, further destabilizing the regions concerned. \nNothing can justify violent extremism but we must also acknowledge that it does not arise in a vacuum. Narratives of grievance\, actual or perceived injustice\, promised empowerment and sweeping change become attractive where human rights are being violated\, good governance is being ignored and aspirations are being crushed. \n\nInternational Day for the Prevention of Violent Extremism as and when Conducive to Terrorism\nIn its resolution 77/243\, the General Assembly decided to declare 12 February the International Day for the Prevention of Violent Extremism as and when Conducive to Terrorism\, in order to raise awareness of the threats linked to violent extremism\, as and when conducive to terrorism\, and to enhance international cooperation in this regard. \nThe General Assembly emphasized in this context the primary responsibility of Member States and their respective national institutions in countering terrorism\, and underlined the important role of intergovernmental organizations\, civil society\, academia\, religious leaders and the media in countering terrorism and preventing violent extremism as and when conducive to terrorism. \nThe resolution reaffirmed that terrorism and violent extremism as and when conducive to terrorism cannot and should not be associated with any religion\, nationality\, civilization or ethnic group. \nThe General Assembly invited the Office of Counter-Terrorism\, in collaboration with other relevant entities of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Coordination Compact\, to facilitate the observance of the International Day. \n\nPlan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism\nOn 15 January 2016 the Secretary-General presented a Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism to the General Assembly. On 12 February 2016\, the General Assembly adopted a resolution welcoming the initiative by the Secretary-General\, and taking note of his Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism. \nThe Plan of Action calls for a comprehensive approach encompassing not only essential security-based counter-terrorism measures but also systematic preventive steps to address the underlying conditions that drive individuals to radicalize and join violent extremist groups. \nThe Plan is an appeal for concerted action by the international community. It provides more than 70 recommendations to Member States and the United Nations System to prevent the further spread of violent extremism. \nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:Global Tourism Resilience Day
DESCRIPTION:Resilient tourism\nFor many developing countries\, including the least developed countries\, small island developing states\, countries in Africa and middle-income countries\, tourism is a major source of income\, foreign currency earnings\, tax revenue and employment. Because tourism connects people with nature\, sustainable tourism has the unique ability to spur environmental responsibility and conservation. \nSustainable tourism\, including ecotourism\, is a cross-cutting activity that can contribute to the three dimensions of sustainable development and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals by fostering economic growth\, alleviating poverty\, creating full and productive employment and decent work for all. \nIt can also play a role in accelerating the change to more sustainable consumption and production patterns and promoting the sustainable use of oceans\, seas and marine resources\, promoting local culture\, improving the quality of life and the economic empowerment of women and young people\, indigenous peoples and local communities and promoting rural development and better living conditions for rural populations\, including small-holder and family farmers. \nThe use of sustainable and resilient tourism as a tool to foster sustained and inclusive economic growth\, social development and financial inclusion\, enables the formalization of the informal sector\, the promotion of domestic resource mobilization and environmental protection and the eradication of poverty and hunger\, including the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and natural resources and the promotion of investment and entrepreneurship in sustainable tourism. \nGlobal Tourism Resilience Day (17 February)\, proclaimed by the General Assembly in resolution A/RES/77/269\, aims to emphasize the need to foster resilient tourism development to deal with shocks\, taking into account the vulnerability of the tourism sector to emergencies. It is also a call for action for Member States to develop national strategies for rehabilitation after disruptions\, including through private-public cooperation and the diversification of activities and products. \n\n\n\nTourism Data Dashboard\n\nThe UNWTO Tourism Data Dashboard – provides statistics and insights on key indicators for inbound and outbound tourism at the global\, regional and national levels. Data covers tourist arrivals\, tourism share of exports and contribution to GDP\, source markets\, seasonality and accommodation (data on number of rooms\, guest and nights). \n\nDASHBOARD\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDid you know?\n\n\n\nTourism supports millions of direct and indirect jobs all over the world\, in particular for women and young people.\nFor some small island states and developing countries\, tourism accounts for over 20 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP).\nThe economic contribution of tourism (tourism direct GDP) was estimated at $1.9 trillion in 2021\, higher than the $1.6 trillion recorded for 2020\, but still well below the pre-pandemic value of $3.5 trillion.\n\n\n\n\nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:World Day of Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:2023 Theme: Overcoming Barriers and Unleashing Opportunities for Social Justice\nThis year’s theme focuses on the recommendations of Our Common Agenda to strengthen global solidarity and to re-build trust in government by “Overcoming Barriers and Unleashing Opportunities for Social Justice”. Therefore\, the 2023 World Day of Social Justice provides an opportunity to foster dialogue with Member States\, youth\, social partners\, civil society\, UN organisations and other stakeholders on actions needed to strengthen the social contract that has been fractured by rising inequalities\, conflicts and weakened institutions that are meant to protect the rights of workers. Despite these multiple crises\, there are many opportunities to build a coalition for social justice and to unleash greater investments in decent jobs\, with a particular focus on the green\, digital and care economy\, and on young people. [Concept note] \n\n\nBackground\nThe International Labour Organization (ILO) unanimously adopted the ILO Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization on 10 June 2008. This is the third major statement of principles and policies adopted by the International Labour Conference since the ILO’s Constitution of 1919. It builds on the Philadelphia Declaration of 1944 and the Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work of 1998. The 2008 Declaration expresses the contemporary vision of the ILO’s mandate in the era of globalization. \nThis landmark Declaration is a powerful reaffirmation of ILO values. It is the outcome of tripartite consultations that started in the wake of the Report of the World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization. By adopting this text\, the representatives of governments\, employers’ and workers’ organizations from 182 member States emphasize the key role of our tripartite Organization in helping to achieve progress and social justice in the context of globalization. Together\, they commit to enhance the ILO’s capacity to advance these goals\, through the Decent Work Agenda. The Declaration institutionalizes the Decent Work concept developed by the ILO since 1999\, placing it at the core of the Organization’s policies to reach its constitutional objectives. \nThe Declaration comes at a crucial political moment\, reflecting the wide consensus on the need for a strong social dimension to globalization in achieving improved and fair outcomes for all. It constitutes a compass for the promotion of a fair globalization based on decent work\, as well as a practical tool to accelerate progress in the implementation of the Decent Work Agenda at the country level. It also reflects a productive outlook by highlighting the importance of sustainable enterprises in creating greater employment and income opportunities for all. \nThe General Assembly recognizes that social development and social justice are indispensable for the achievement and maintenance of peace and security within and among nations and that\, in turn\, social development and social justice cannot be attained in the absence of peace and security\, or in the absence of respect for all human rights and fundamental freedoms. \nIt further recognizes that globalization and interdependence are opening new opportunities through trade\, investment and capital flows and advances in technology\, including information technology\, for the growth of the world economy and the development and improvement of living standards around the world\, while at the same time there remain serious challenges\, including serious financial crises\, insecurity\, poverty\, exclusion and inequality within and among societies\, and considerable obstacles to further integration and full participation in the global economy for developing countries\, as well as some countries with economies in transition. \nOn 26 November 2007\, the General Assembly declared that\, starting from the sixty-third session of the General Assembly\, 20 February will be celebrated annually as the World Day of Social Justice. \n\n\n\n\nA Global Coalition for Social Justice\nPoverty and inequalities within and among countries are on the rise in many parts of the world. The economic and social crises of recent years have been exacerbated by the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic\, natural disasters due to accelerating climate change\, geopolitical tensions and armed conflicts. Beyond the human tragedies associated with them and their impact on the world of work\, these crises have highlighted the interlinkages and dependencies of economies and societies around the world and shown the crucial need for concerted action to respond to them\, at global\, regional and national levels. \nThis has happened against the background of important changes such as\, inter alia\, growing disruptions in economies linked to globalization and technology\, significant demographic transformations\, increasing migration flows and protracted situations of fragility. The world of work has not been spared by these upheavals. The perceived lack of satisfactory responses to these multiple challenges and changes has led in many countries to growing discontent and mistrust vis-à-vis established institutions and actors of public life. \nConfronted with this complex situation\, the multilateral system has also struggled to adapt to a changing environment and to provide concrete and coordinated responses to many of the world’s most pressing challenges. The growing gap between international commitments and concrete achievements has fragilized multilateral action and its credibility\, resulting in open criticism and disengagement. More than ever\, it is urgent for the multilateral system to deliver and to contribute to bringing solutions to people’s daily problems\, and to do so in a more efficient and coherent manner. \nThis sense of urgency has been shared by many\, including the United Nations (UN) Secretary-General who\, in his report “Our Common Agenda“\, has warned against today’s growing divide and called for a more inclusive and networked multilateralism\, re-embracing global solidarity and renewing the social contract between governments and their people and within societies\, anchored in a comprehensive approach to human rights. \nSocial justice makes societies and economies function better and reduces poverty\, inequalities and social tensions. It plays an important role in attaining more inclusive and sustainable socio-economic development paths and is key for reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2030 Agenda)\, especially at a time when the achievement of those goals remains faraway. \nIt is more important than ever that the multilateral system coalesce around a set of shared values and goals and identify the means to respond to peoples’ aspirations and needs. Social justice has therefore to become one of the cornerstones of the renewed multilateralism that is required; a rallying objective but also a significant instrument for a more efficient multilateral system\, ensuring coherence across a range of policy areas. \n\n\nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:World Seagrass Day
DESCRIPTION:Healthy seagrass\, healthy planet\nIn May 2022\, the General Assembly adopted A/RES/76/265 proclaiming 1 March as World Seagrass Day. The resolution highlights the urgent need to raise awareness at all levels and to promote and facilitate actions for the conservation of seagrasses in order to contribute to their health and development\, bearing in mind that enhancing ecosystem services and functions is important for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. \n\nWhy seagrass matters\nSeagrasses are marine flowering plants that are found in shallow waters in many parts of the world\, from the tropics to the Arctic circle. They form extensive underwater meadows\, creating complex\, highly productive and biologically rich habitats. \nCovering only 0.1% of the ocean floor\, these seagrass meadows provide food and shelter to thousands of species of fish\, seahorses\, turtles\, etc. and sustain some of the world’s largest fisheries. They improve water quality by filtering\, cycling and storing nutrients and pollutants\, reducing contamination in seafood. Highly efficient carbon sinks\, they can store up to 18% of the world’s oceanic carbon\, making them a powerful nature-based solutions to tackle climate change impacts. Because they buffer ocean acidification\, they contribute to the resilience of the most vulnerable ecosystems and species\, such as coral reefs. And to the coastal populations\, they act as the first line of defense along coasts by reducing wave energy\, protecting people from the increasing risk of floods and storms. \n\nA resource in danger\nDespite its important contribution to sustainable development and climate change mitigation and adaptation\, this core component of marine biodiversity is in danger and only about a quarter of all meadows fall within marine protected areas. \nSeagrasses have been declining globally since the 1930s\, with the most recent census estimating that 7% of this key marine habitat is being lost worldwide per year. It was recently noted that 21% of seagrass species are categorized as Near Threatened\, Vulnerable and Endangered Species under the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species. \nThe combined pressures of coastal development\, pollution\, including land-based run-off\, climate change\, dredging and unregulated fishing and boating activities are key drivers of the degradation of seagrasses and their associated ecosystems. \n\nProtection works\nDespite a general global trend of seagrass loss\, some areas have shown abating declines or substantial recovery of seagrasses. These recoveries can often be attributed to human interventions reducing the effect of human-caused stressors. \nSeagrasses are critical for life underwater\, but also provide wide-ranging benefits to people on land. Raising awareness about their importance for community well-being\, whether through food security from fish production\, improved quality of water filtered by seagrasses\, protection of coasts from erosion\, storms and floods\, or carbon sequestration and storage will drive efforts around the world to conserve\, better manage and restore these ecosystems. \nUltimately\, the protection and restoration of seagrass meadows will help countries achieve multiple economic\, societal and nutritional objectives\, aligning with and supported by policies implemented at the national\, regional or global levels. For example: \n\nThe benefits from conserving and restoring seagrass meadows can also help countries achieve 26 targets and indicators associated with ten Sustainable Development Goals.\nGiven the carbon storage and sequestration capacity of seagrass ecosystems\, including them in nationally determined contributions (NDCs) can help nations achieve their targets under the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).\nInclusion of seagrass ecosystems in the post-2020 global biodiversity framework and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is also critical for protecting the integrity of marine ecosystems and biodiversity.\nRestoration of seagrasses also provides countries with opportunities to achieve commitments to be made to the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.\n\nInclusion of seagrass management\, conservation and restoration should be a critical component of sustainable blue economy strategies in the future. Projects are already underway in various countries\, and a few have even been selected as World Restoration Flagships initiatives. Chosen as best examples of large-scale and long-term ecosystem restoration\, these projects embody the 10 restoration principles of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. \n\n\nDid you know?\n\n\n\nSeagrass meadows exist in 159 countries on six continents\, covering over 300\,000 km2\, making them one of the most widespread coastal habitats on Earth.\nAlmost 30% of global seagrass area has been lost since the late nineteenth century and at least 22 of the world’s 72 seagrass species are in decline.\nSeagrasses\, as a part of the marine ecosystem\, store up to 18% of the world’s oceanic carbon.\nConserving and restoring seagrass meadows can also help countries achieve 26 targets and indicators associated with ten Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).\n\n\nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:Zero Discrimination Day
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT ZERO DISCRIMINATION DAY\nOn Zero Discrimination Day\, 1 March\, we celebrate the right of everyone to live a full and productive life—and live it with dignity. Zero Discrimination Day highlights how people can become informed about and promote inclusion\, compassion\, peace and\, above all\, a movement for change. Zero Discrimination Day is helping to create a global movement of solidarity to end all forms of discrimination. \nOn Zero Discrimination Day this year\, under the theme “Save lives: Decriminalise”\, UNAIDS is highlighting how the decriminalisation of key populations and people living with HIV saves lives and helps advance the end of the AIDS pandemic. \n\nCriminal laws targeting key populations and people living with HIV violate people’s human rights\, exacerbate the stigma people face and put people in danger by creating barriers to the support and services they need to protect their health. \nIn 2021\, the world set ambitious law reform targets to remove criminal laws that are undermining the HIV response and leaving key populations behind. Recognising decriminalization as a critical element in the response\, countries made a commitment that by 2025 less than 10% of countries would have punitive legal and policy environments that affect the HIV response. \nHowever\, despite some encouraging reforms\, the world is far from achieving the target. In fact\, today there are 134 countries explicitly criminalising or otherwise prosecuting HIV exposure\, non-disclosure or transmission; 20 countries criminalise and/or prosecute transgender persons; 153 countries criminalise at least one aspect of sex work; and 67 countries now criminalize consensual same-sex sexual activity\, according to UNAIDS. In addition\, 48 countries still place restrictions on entry into their territory for people living with HIV\, while 53 countries report that they require mandatory HIV testing\, for example for marriage certificates or for performing certain professions. 106 countries report requiring parental consent for adolescents to access HIV testing. \nCriminalisation drives discrimination and structural inequalities. It robs people of the prospect of healthy and fulfilling lives. And it holds back the end of AIDS. \nWe must end criminalisation to save lives. \nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

Today\, it grants varying degrees of protection to more than 37\,000 species of animals and plants. \nThrough the past 50 years\, partnerships have been at the heart of CITES\, and WWD will celebrate the bridge that CITES has been for these partnerships to form\, making a significant contribution to sustainability\, wildlife and biodiversity conservation. \nIn accordance with this convention\, UN agencies\, private sector organizations\, philanthropies and non-governmental organizations must keep working for conservation\, the sustainable use of wildlife and in the fight against illegal trade and the depletion of wildlife. \nSustaining existing partnerships and building new ones is critical for the future of life on earth. \nWe need to change our relationship with nature and we need to work together. \n\n\nDid you know?\n\n\n\n50\,000 Wild Species Meet Needs of Billions Worldwide.\n1 in 5 people around the world rely on wild species for income and food\, while 2.4 billion people depend on wood fuel for cooking.\nIt seems surprising\, but cacti\, seaweeds\, giraffes\, parrots\, and oak trees are groups of species endangered. Currently there are one million species under threat.\n\n\nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:International Day for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Awareness
DESCRIPTION:The International Day for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Awareness seeks to promote better awareness and understanding of disarmament issues among the public\, especially young people. \nSince the founding of the United Nations\, the goals of multilateral disarmament and arms limitation have been central to the Organization’s efforts to maintain international peace and security. \nWeapons 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 in conventional weapons and the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons jeopardizes international peace and security and sustainable development\, while the use of explosive weapons in populated areas is seriously endangering civilians. New and emerging weapon technologies\, such as autonomous weapons\, pose a challenge to global security and have received increased attention from the international community in recent years. \nObserved on 5 March\, the International Day for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Awareness plays a role in deepening the global public’s understanding about how disarmament efforts contribute to enhancing peace and security\, preventing and ending armed conflicts\, and curbing human suffering caused by weapons. \nThrough resolution A/RES/77/51\, the General Assembly invites all Member States\, the organizations of the United Nations system\, civil society\, academia\, the media and individuals to commemorate the International Day\, including through all means of educational and public awareness-raising activities. \n\nDid you know?\nDid you know that in 2021\, global military spending reached $2.1 trillion? 12\,700 nuclear weapons remain an existential threat to humanity today. 26\,000 people can be treated for malaria for the price of 1 battle tank. Here are some outreach materials. \nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:Asia Green Tech Summit
DESCRIPTION:Development in Asia hinges on decisive measures against climate change. The region is grappling with escalating climate disturbances\, impacting countless individuals’ well-being\, food stability\, and health. While governments across Asia have made increasingly ambitious climate pledges to address this\, substantial scope remains to accelerate decarbonisation and the transition to a greener economy. \nCurrent and evolving climate technologies offer a promising avenue for Asia to establish itself as a net-zero leader. Reaching carbon neutrality in Asia via these technologies requires global cooperation\, attractive climate policies and increased investment. How can Asia mobilise the necessary resources and green technologies to compete in the race to net-zero emissions? \nThe 2nd edition of the Asia Green Tech Summit\, co-hosted by Nikkei and the Financial Times\, will once again bring together leading policymakers\, financial institutions\, climate tech and industry leaders for thought-provoking keynotes and debates to provide critical insights about how climate tech will enable the decarbonisation of Asia. \n\n\nKey Themes \n\n\nHow are climate policies across Asia competing on an international and regional Level?\nFrom emissions to opportunities: Asia’s role as a global carbon market hub\nThe role of trading houses in facilitating the growth of the green economy\nUnlocking finance for green tech investments in a time of high-interest rates\nWhat role will carbon capture play in decarbonising hard-to-abate manufacturing in Asia?\nAsia’s renewable energy supply chain: Overcoming fragmentation and scaling up to satisfy demand\n\nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:International Women's Day
DESCRIPTION:Invest in women: Accelerate progress\nAchieving gender equality and women’s well-being in all aspects of life is more crucial than ever if we want to create prosperous economies and a healthy planet. However\, we are facing a key challenge: the alarming $360 billion annual deficit in gender-equality measures by 2030. \nJoin us on March 8\, 2024\, for International Women’s Day under the theme ‘Invest in women: Accelerate progress”\, and take a stand with us using the hashtag #InvestInWomen. \nHere are five key areas needing joint action: \n\nInvesting in women\, a human rights issue: Time is running out. Gender equality is the greatest human rights challenge\, benefiting everyone.\nEnding poverty: Due to the COVID pandemic and conflicts\, 75 million more people have fallen into severe poverty since 2020. Immediate action is crucial to prevent over 342 million women and girls living in poverty by 2030.\nImplementing gender-responsive financing: Conflicts and rising prices may lead 75% of countries to cut public spending by 2025\, negatively impacting women and their essential services.\nShifting to a green economy and care society: The current economic system disproportionately affects women. Advocates propose a shift to a green economy and care society to amplify women’s voices.\nSupporting feminist change-makers: Despite leading efforts\, feminist organizations receive only 0.13% of official development assistance.\n\nThis International Women’s Day\, let’s unite to transform challenges into opportunities and shape a better future for all! \n\n\n\n\n\nDid you know?\n\n\n\nIn 1984\, Australia introduced the world’s first Women’s Budget Statement\, paving the way for many others to follow suit.\nThere is an alarming lack of financing with a staggering USD 360 billion annual deficit in spending on gender-equality measures.\nJust 5% of government aid is focused on tackling violence against women and girls\, and less than 0.2% is directed to its prevention.\n\n\n\n\nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.
