Fishermen in Port Salut in Haiti's rural south struggle to make a living.
As part of the Côte Sud Initiative, UNEP is working with fishermen in Port Salut and surrounding areas to promote marine ecosystems regeneration and the sustainable management of marine resources while improving the fisheries market, diversifying fisheries products and developing coastal-based eco-tourism activities. The programme - call MER (Marine Environment Regeneration) Sud - aims to help rural coastal communities make the switch from poverty and unsustainable livelihoods to more economically productive and sustainable ecosystem-based livelihoods.
As part of this programme, UNEP also rehabilitated a fleet of fishing boats, two of which can be seen in this photograph.

Les pêcheurs de Port-Salut luttent pour leur survie dans le sud rural d'Haïti
Dans le cadre de l'Initiative Côte Sud, le PNUE travaille avec les pêcheurs de Port Salut et des environs pour promouvoir la régénération des écosystèmes marins et la gestion durable des ressources halieutiques, tout en améliorant le marché du poisson, en diversifiant les produits issus de la pêche et en développant les activités écotouristiques côtières. Le programme Régénération de l'Environnement Marin (REM) vise à soutenir les communautés du littoral rural, en favorisant la transition de la pauvreté vers la productivité et la durabilité de modes de vie en harmonie avec les écosystèmes.
Dans le cadre de ce programme, le PNUE rénove la flotte et les bâteaux de pêcheurs, dont deux sont représentés sur la photo.

The SDGs aim to end all forms of hunger and malnutrition by 2030, making sure all people – especially children – have access to sufficient and nutritious food all year round.
In Central Asian countries, wheat provides more than 60% of daily calories, and a significant portion
of that wheat is imported from Kazakhstan (the world’s ninth largest producer and seventh largest exporter). Spikes in food prices have been one of the major sources of food insecurity in other Central Asian Republics, and Kazakhstan’s wheat sector was found to be highly vulnerable to climate change. In response, a UNDP/USAID project ‘Improving Climate Resilience of Kazakhstan Wheat and Central Asian Food Security’ was started in 2012 jointly with Kazhydromet – Kazakhstan’s National Hydrometeorological Agency - with the aim of improving forecasting capacities to help improve crop yields in the region.
Thanks to new software, meteorologists can issue climate forecasts for the whole season in a few seconds; over 600 farmers have been actively co-operating with Kazhydromet in order to get up-to-date weather and climate forecasts. Participating farmers have reported 20 per cent higher wheat yields on average.

From reducing poverty to halting biodiversity loss, from promoting sustainable energy to responsible consumption behaviors, from combating climate change to advancing gender equality, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out a common agenda for people and the planet. No one can do it alone, and nobody should be left behind.
Organized by UN Environment’s Policy and Programme Division, the planned event serves two purposes. First, it aims to provide a platform for colleagues to promote their good work. Second, it seeks to inform and inspire participants of the UN Environment Assembly about the Sustainable Development Goals.
