The Gasca family in front of their house in Chiscareni, a village in northern Moldova. As most households in Moldova, the Gasca were affected by migration, as family members went abroad to earn money. 80,000 children in the country have at least one parent working abroad, and the country's population is expected to decrease by 29% if the migration rate does not contract. UNDP is piloting a local entrepreneurship initiative, which aims to bring back Moldovan diaspora. As a result of this initative, the Gasca family is now reunited and runs a ecoutourism business.

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.

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.

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.
