Examples of complex cases arising under the UNECE Espoo convention, and structures designed to solve them.
Shaheed Sabrin implemented the first-ever movie review month at the University of Malaysia in Kelantan. It entailed watching a film, followed by lessons on good discussion leading. Finally, students rated the film and explored the pressing issues (relating them to American culture). They reflected on the events within the films, as related to their daily lives. The films were Rebel Without a Cause (1955) & Catch Me If You Can (2002). He had 40 students enjoying pizza, popcorn, apple cider, and fresh juice/fruit. They enjoyed relating the film’s concepts to global issues of acceptance, bullying, and adolescent challenges. Critical thinking was a key factor in exploring the mentality of the characters in the round-table discussions after viewing. Students met again to reflect on the pertinent issues after thinking about it for a week. Shaheed says this initiative is extremely important, since there are absolutely no movie theatres in Kelantan. It gives students a safe environment to discuss taboo issues in the conservative and rural city of Kota Bharu.

Persistent Gender Inequality in Iraq Calls for Coordinated Efforts in Developing 2nd National Action Plan on Implementing Resolution 1325
Baghdad, Iraq, 3 October 2018 – Gender inequality continues to prevail in Iraq with worrisome signals that it is deepening, requiring intensified efforts and coordination in developing a new action plan on implementing UN Security Council resolution 1325, UN Representative to Iraq Ján Kubiš said today at the high-level consultation meeting on the development of the 2nd National Action Plan. Although he was encouraged to see progress in the protection pillar and dedicated efforts to strengthen the participation pillar in the National Action Plan, the legacy of the conflict with the terrorist Da’esh continues to hamper steps forward and there are other worrying signs of women being targeted.
Mr. Kubiš condemned the recent attacks against women, including the assassination of two women and the sudden death of two others in the past month, all of them active in political and social spheres. Other civil society activists including women are targeted by social media and political threat campaign, among others for their contacts with foreign embassies. This is unacceptable.
“Only once politically and socially active women are protected and safe, Iraq can claim to be making real progress towards women’s equality and empowerment,” he said.
The development of a new NAP with all the diversity and complexity of issues will require continuous coordination and collaboration across sectors, in particular involving civil society, and drawing from the lessons learned from the previous plan, the Special Representative said.
“By making your deliberations open to the society, by publicly broadcasting them you could mobilise even broader support for your objectives,” Mr. Kubiš said.
The Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Iraq noted with disappointment that political forces that negotiate the formation of the government do so, again without the participation of women. “We all need to ask: “when the political leaders intend to deliver on their pledges to empower women and advance their rights as a part of the democratic entitlement of all Iraqis thus strengthening equal representation and inclusiveness? The time is now. Otherwise, all the exclamations about commitment to equality of women and values of democracy continue to sound hollow.”
Mr. Kubiš outlined UN efforts in support of women empowerment, noting that UNAMI supports women parliamentarians in their quest to establish a cross-political women’s parliamentary caucus. UNAMI will continue to impress on Political Parties who are key to advancing the participation of women in all processes to include women in their leadership structures, urging men advocates to assume a more prominent role, and parliamentarians to consider gender responsive budget in the next budget law to enhance the implementation of the NAP. The UN will also continue to advocate for the establishment of a dedicated institution in the next government structure with budget and authority to coordinate the implementation of the NAP and national frameworks and policies on WPS.
The UN in Iraq will also mobilise support of the broader international community, including through the International Gender Group from among embassies here in Baghdad, Mr. Kubiš concluded.

A un mes de implementarse el programa BonoGas, que permite financiar la instalación interna de gas natural en los hogares, especialmente de escasos recursos económicos, se han beneficiado más de 300 familias de Lima y el Callao con esta medida.
Así lo anunció, el ministro de Energía y Minas, Gonzalo Tamayo Flores, en la inauguración de las primeras conexiones domiciliarias con este combustible, financiadas por BonoGas, ubicadas en el distrito de San Juan de Miraflores. Explicó que desde que se inicio este programa, a inicios de octubre, hay alrededor de 8,000 inscritos. De ellos, 1,500 ya están en proceso de conexión.
Con esta iniciativa, que se enmarca dentro de los 100 primeros días de gestión, el Gobierno busca impulsar la masificación del uso del gas natural no solo en Lima sino también en el interior del país a través de diversos proyectos que están próximos a culminar.
Cabe indicar que, para las familias con ingresos bajos, el financiamiento con BonoGas será al 100%. En tanto, a los hogares con ingresos medios-bajos se les financiará el 75% y los de ingresos medios el 50% en 10 años.
Durante la visita que realizó a los hogares que ya cuentan con dicho combustible, Tamayo Flores estuvo acompañado del presidente del Organismo Supervisor de la Inversión en Energía y Minería (OSINERGMIN), Jesús Tamayo Pacheco.
También informó que se está terminando de definir el diseño del BonoGNV, que financiará la conversión de vehículos a gas natural, lo que permitirá reducir el consumo de gasolina y gas licuado de petróleo (GLP). “Esta medida es consistente con las metas de sostenibilidad y el uso de las fuentes de energía abundantes del país”, refirió.
Tamayo Flores indicó que se usarán los fondos disponibles, que son cerca de 600 millones de soles, para la ejecución de obras de electrificación rural. A diciembre del 2016 se espera llegar al 81% de cobertura, la meta al 2021 es alcanzar el 99% de acceso universal del servicio de energía eléctrica.
Otra medida adoptada en los primeros 100 días, fue la reducción de las tarifas eléctricas, especialmente para las zonas rurales del interior del país, así como la revisión de los procedimientos administrativos, eliminando 16 trámites, que restaban agilidad y eficiencia al portafolio, refirió.
Winner of countless tractor pulls in my youth, these tractors had a downdraft carburetor that provided unusual power. Now it provides my dad great enjoyment on several yearly tractor rides around Iowa.

In Djibouti, UNEP together with the Ministry of Urbanism, Habitat and Environment and several other partners are reducing the vulnerability to climate change by restoring various types of ecosystems, along with their associated benefits, such as water sources and flood protection. This project is regenerating degraded Acacia woodlands and mangroves, while building infrastructure to combat floods and droughts, including boreholes in dry areas and a dyke in a flood-prone urban zone.
