Nous avons été profondément inspirés par les intervenants réunis lors de la Conférence présidentielle pour la paix du Rotary ! De la réduction des divisions grâce aux technologies à la lutte contre les effets du climat sur les conflits, nous avons exploré comment bâtir la paix.

Human rights shine a light in the darkest places. Everywhere around the world we must support brave human rights defenders risking persecution, detention and even death.

The Tragic Tango of the Tiny Titans: Pygmy Elephants vs. The Green Goliath 🌿🐘 Step right up, folks, to the most heart-wrenching show on Earth!Here in the ring, we have the diminutive darlings, the Pygmy Elephants, the forest's own mini marvels, versus the relentless, the insatiable, the Deforestation Dynamo! Why should you care? Imagine a creature so unique, it's like nature decided to make an exclusive, limited-edition elephant – that's our pygmy pal! But, alas, their homes are being swiped left by the swipe of human progress. The Plot Thickens: - Size Matters: These elephants are the adorable underdogs of the elephant world, barely reaching 8 feet tall! Yet, their charisma could fill an arena. - Deforestation Drama: Every tree felled is like taking a brick out of their living room. Soon, they'll have no place to host their legendary jungle jamborees. - Think of the children... the baby pygmy elephants, with eyes wide as the moon, watching their playground turn into a parking lot. The Call to Action: - Be Their Voice: These tiny titans don't have a tweet to tweet or a post to post. But you do! Share their story, and let's make some noise louder than a herd of full-sized elephants! - Adopt a Pygmy: Not literally, unless you've got a really big backyard and the right permits. But support conservation efforts. Buy them a coffee, or better, a forest! - Engage and Enrage: Get angry, get active! Comment, like, share, and follow for more tales of these tiny titans. Remember, in the algorithm of life, your engagement is worth 13.5 times more than a mere like! The Twist: - Irony Alert: While you're here for the elephants, remember, the forest they live in is also home to the very trees that might be making the paper or palm oil in your pantry. Irony, thy name is human! In Conclusion: Let's turn this tragedy into a triumph. Follow for more, because if we can save these pint-sized pachyderms, maybe, just maybe, we can save ourselves from becoming the biggest show on Earth – "Humans: The Species That Outsmarted Itself to Extinction." 🌍💔🐘 #SaveThePygmyElephants #EveryTreeCounts #BeTheChange And remember, folks, in the grand circus of life, it's not just about the clowns and acrobats; sometimes, it's the smallest elephants that leave the biggest footprints on our hearts.

“We must avoid at all costs a resumption of hostilities.” Stressing the need for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, @antonioguterres calls for the dignified release of all remaining hostages and irreversible progress towards a two-State solution.

Reaching the world’s most vulnerable children with lifesaving vaccines is critical to protect them from polio’s devastating consequences. With continued commitment and support from @KSRelief_EN and other generous donors, we can deliver a polio-free future for all. #EndPolio bit.ly/3Xk2QmX

Peace is more than just the absence of conflict—it’s about building a world resilient to the #ClimateCrisis. As climate change exacerbates negative impacts such as scarcity of resources, the risk of conflict grows. See how UNEP & partners are tackling this.
