A child from Kyrgyzstan enjoying a swing ride in a playground in Kadji-Say, Issyk-Kul province. It was buit within the framework of a UNDP project, which aims to improve the socio-economic development of communities located near radioactive sites. Children make up 1/4 of the world’s population and all of our future. They are our greatest treasure and our biggest responsibility. We work so that no child has to give up on their dreams because of poverty, inequality or exclusion. Let's come together to build better tomorrows for the children of the world.

Studies have shown that climate change will cause a shift of climatic zones in the ecosystems of Altai-Sayan, resulting in animal migration. In response, a buffer zone of about 600,000 hectares of protected forests has been created between the Western and Eastern part of the region to protect the migration routes of globally threatened species, such as the snow leopard, lynx, European red deer, elk, argali, and more.

Water is a key resource that supports the growth of our industries. A large portion of non-domestic demand is concentrated in industrial clusters such as Jurong Island.
There is potential to develop localised sources to meet these needs, through measures such as process water recycling and desalination. In these clusters, there are also opportunities to recover heat for water production.
A promising example is membrane distillation, which taps low-grade steam or waste heat from power stations, incineration plants or industrial processes to supplement the energy requirements for desalination.

Lebanon, 2015.
Portrait of domestic worker Hellina Desta.
Seven years ago, Hellina migrated from Ethiopia to work in Beirut, Lebanon. She has been working for her current employer for five years and plans to keep living and working in Lebanon.
Lebanon emerged from a 15-year civil war in 1990, beginning its slow but steady recovery. Today it is considered an upper-middle-income country, but economic gains are inequitably distributed among social groups and skewed towards urban areas.

The South Department of Haiti - the largest of the country's ten departments - is known for its beautiful coastline and its proximity to the Pic Macaya National Park, one of the few remaining bastions of primary forest and biodiversity in the largely deforested Caribbean nation. It is an area of high potential for tourism and business development.
The main environmental problems in the South Department - in no particular order - are deforestation, soil erosion, freshwater pollution and coastal and marine degradation. All these problems contribute to the chronic poverty and food insecurity in the area.

Montagnes sur le littoral, Département du Sud, Haïti
Le Département du Sud, le plus grand des dix départements du pays, est connu pour son magnifique littoral et sa proximité avec le Parc National du pic de Macaya. Ce dernier constitue l'un des derniers vestiges de la forêt primaire et de sa riche biodiversité, au sein de cette région frappée par la déforestation. Il s'agit donc d'une région aux forts potentiels touristique et commercial.
Les problèmes environnementaux principaux du Département du Sud sont la déforestation, l'érosion des sols, la pollution des eaux de source et la dégradation maritime et littoral. Tous ces problèmes contribuent à la pauvreté chronique et à l'insécurité alimentaire de la région.

A worker overseeing an experimental field with a new rice variety at the Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA). BINA scientists have worked closely with the IAEA to develop new plant varieties of crops, such as rice, using nuclear and other conventional plant breeding techniques. These new plant varieties are selected for their improved traits, such as shorter growing times, better tolerance to salty soils, and higher yields. These plants mean farmers can grow more food to feed their families and to sell at the market.

Rice is a staple food in Bangladesh. Many farmers in Bangladesh are now growing new rice plant varieties, like Binadahn-7, developed by scientists at the Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA). These scientists have worked closely with the IAEA to develop new plant varieties of crops, such as rice, using nuclear and other conventional plant breeding techniques. These new plant varieties are selected for their improved traits, such as shorter growing times, better tolerance to salty soils, and higher yields. These plants mean farmers can grow more food to feed their families and to sell at the market.
