The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has found that over the last 60 years, at least 40 percent of all internal conflicts have been linked to the exploitation of natural resources, whether high-value resources such as timber, diamonds, gold and oil, or scarce resources such as fertile land and water. Conflicts involving natural resources have also been found to be twice as likely to relapse.

The United Nations attaches great importance to ensuring that action on the environment is part of conflict prevention, peacekeeping and peacebuilding strategies, because there can be no durable peace if the natural resources that sustain livelihoods and ecosystems are destroyed.

On 5 November 2001, the UN General Assembly declared 6 November of each year as the International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict (A/RES/56/4).

COMPOUNDING POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL CRISES ARE RESHAPING OUR WORLD – AND THE GAP BETWEEN CLIMATE RHETORIC AND REALITY HAS NEVER BEEN WIDER.

Trust in global institutions is eroding, and skepticism is justified. The world doesn’t need more promises. It needs a new vision that confronts the realities people live with — and insists that something better is still possible.

Belém, the gateway to the Amazon, will set the stage for COP30 – a place where the stakes of the climate crisis are immediate and tangible. Against this backdrop, TED Countdown House will bring together innovators, business leaders, scientists, activists and Indigenous knowledge keepers to reimagine what’s possible. Designed to complement the official COP agenda, we’ll ground the climate conversation in lived experience, practical solutions and honest reckoning.

In a world flooded with noise, the House is tuned to what matters: substance over spectacle, outcomes over optics. Here, breakthroughs are engineered – through curated gatherings that dismantle silos, immersive workshops where ideas are stress-tested in real time, and unstructured moments that foster creativity.

Belém, the gateway to the Amazon, will set the stage for COP30 – a place where the stakes of the climate crisis are immediate and tangible. Against this backdrop, TED Countdown House will bring together innovators, business leaders, scientists, activists and Indigenous knowledge keepers to reimagine what’s possible. Designed to complement the official COP agenda, we’ll ground the climate conversation in lived experience, practical solutions and honest reckoning.

In a world flooded with noise, the House is tuned to what matters: substance over spectacle, outcomes over optics. Here, breakthroughs are engineered – through curated gatherings that dismantle silos, immersive workshops where ideas are stress-tested in real time, and unstructured moments that foster creativity.

The 2025 UN Climate Change Conference (Conference of the Parties), better known as COP 30, is an annual global meeting where world leaders, scientists, non-governmental organizations and civil society representatives discuss actions to combat climate change. It is considered one of the world’s main events to address this topic.

Host – COP30 represents a historic opportunity for Brazil to reaffirm its leadership in negotiations on climate change and global sustainability. The event will allow the country to showcase its efforts in fields such as renewable energy, biofuels and low-carbon agriculture, and reiterate its historic role in multilateral processes such as Eco-92 and Rio+20. The event will be attended by heads of State, ministers, diplomats, UN representatives, scientists, business leaders, NGOs, activists, and other members of civil society from more than 190 countries.

COMPOUNDING POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL CRISES ARE RESHAPING OUR WORLD – AND THE GAP BETWEEN CLIMATE RHETORIC AND REALITY HAS NEVER BEEN WIDER.

Trust in global institutions is eroding, and skepticism is justified. The world doesn’t need more promises. It needs a new vision that confronts the realities people live with — and insists that something better is still possible.

World Soil Day (WSD) is held annually on 5 December as a means to focus attention on the importance of healthy soil and to advocate for the sustainable management of soil resources.

An international day to celebrate soil was recommended by the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) in 2002. Under the leadership of the Kingdom of Thailand and within the framework of the Global Soil Partnership, FAO has supported the formal establishment of WSD as a global awareness raising platform. The FAO Conference unanimously endorsed World Soil Day in June 2013 and requested its official adoption at the 68th UN General Assembly. In December 2013, the UN General Assembly responded by designating 5 December 2014 as the first official World Soil Day.

The United Nations General Assembly designated 11 December “International Mountain Day”. As of 2003, it has been observed every year to create awareness about the importance of mountains to life, to highlight the opportunities and constraints in mountain development and to build alliances that will bring positive change to mountain peoples and environments around the world.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is the coordinating agency for the preparation and animation of this celebration and is mandated to lead observance of it at the global level. The Mountain Partnership Secretariat in the FAO Forestry Division is responsible for coordinating this international process.

The Paris Agreement was adopted on December 12, 2015, at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris. It was signed on April 22, 2016, at the United Nations headquarters in New York and came into force on November 4, 2016. The agreement’s main objectives are to limit the global average temperature increase to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to strive to keep the temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. These ambitious targets are essential for reducing the severe impacts of climate change and promoting a sustainable future for all.
