IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim has highlighted the Organization’s strong commitment to helping achieve the UN SustainableDevelopment Goals and explained how shipping and ports can play a significant role in helping to create conditions for increased employment, prosperity and stability through the promotion of maritime trade. Mr. Lim was speaking at a seminar as part of celebrations in Veracruz, Mexico (21-22 August) focused on IMO’s World Maritime Day theme for 2017 –"Connecting Ships, Ports and People".
The Secretary-General also discussed IMO measures to reduce harmful emissions from ships, the management of ballast water and goal-based standards. He was hosted by the Secretary of the Navy (SEMAR), Admiral Commander in Chief Vidal Francisco Soberón Sanz, who introduced the strategy and capabilities of the Mexican Maritime Authority.
The seminar was attended by the maritime authorities of Argentina, Chile, Panama and the United States, as well as representatives from the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control, World Maritime University (WMU) in Sweden, the IMO International Maritime Law Institute (IMLI) in Malta, and various national government ministries.
The celebrations also included an opportunity for participants to observe a search and rescue exercise and to visit Mexico’s Naval Academy.
To send a strong message to world leaders, Heads of State and government negotiators WWF inflated a giant hot air balloon (28 metres high), covered in a large banner which reads "#GetSeRIOus+20" and "#LevemaSéRIO+20" at a key location on the way into the Rio Earth Summit. 19 June 2012, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.

The Gasca family house 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.

On Monday, after dropping my son off at the Airport in his shiny black Chevy Volt I hung out in Winthrop to avoid the morning rush traffic into Boston. I headed in around 10am to US Fed District Court to pick up a Pass for Media coverage of the same. I turned left on Farnsworth thinking it was a through street. Instead it was a dead end with RCN on the right and what? on the left. I tried both ends for another outlet out. Then turned around heading a right turn out onto Farnsworth. Whatever happened that I did not see this short pile of cones was beyond me., In a split second it seemed I was hearing sounds no one wants to hear. I backed up and knew there had been some serious damage., OMG what a shame. I think it was the sun coming over the buildings as the only shot I have here is from an hour or so later and it was still piercing down pretty bright. I saw nothing. I was so shocked and saddened. My journey into the City was so pleasant driving slowly from 99 to South Station. I thought that was a cool way to come in again . I had never tried that and I loved that route. Then this happened. I had fire police ambulance tow trucks and me delivered to a Body Shop in Revere I had experience with before by 3pm I was ready to bus it home. Got home at 800pm. What a day you don't want to happen. The Fire Department said this never should have been there and removed the 36inch pipe putting it against the wall. They stuffed the cones into the hole and then the police showed up. The police paid a visit to the building 46 Farnsworth and that manager came out and stated the property was owned by Boston Globe or Sustainable Development. Whoever stuffed that pipe into the hole was what I call meathead anonymous. I will forever be ungrateful for that move. Can you hear plastic crunching and metal scraping and grimy fluid draining like blood on the gound? Sad Sad Sad
Many farmers in Bangladesh are now growing new plant varieties 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.

A Hatian mother and her two daughters celebrating the inauguration of their community's new grain mill funded by the Lambi Fund of Haiti.
This will save women like her days of lost work: previously the closest grain mill was 2 days away and ran the high risk of getting robbed or attacked.
These guys planted 1500 tress in South Lebanon for a green action I was part of (with our association Stonfield Team Acting)... Thank you so much to all of them and all the other - real or not - people who made all that possible.

"Our water bodies are our lifeline and it is important to instil the value of water to our younger generation.
Over the years, I have seen how water education plays a pivotal role in ensuring water sustainability. One of the ways in which instil this value to our students is to take them on a learning trail along our water bodies where they learn about its history, ecology and also get hands on experience in testing water quality. In the future, I hope there will be more opportunities to bring lessons out of the classroom and into the learning field. This will definitely provide an authentic learning experience that can increase the younger generation’s engagement in water issues. I also hope to see more World Water Day celebrations around the island to get people closer to water and work together towards a greater cause." - Mr Mahathir Aziz, Teacher, Jurong Secondary School, Singapore

We can achieve a more sustainable transport system if more Singaporeans travel by public transport. Public transport is, by far, the more efficient mode of transport, both in terms of land and energy use.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will double the current rail network from the current 142km to 278km by 2020. This will be achieved with the completion of the Circle Line and Downtown Line and the addition of new lines and extensions, such as the North-South Line Extension, the Tuas Extension, the Thomson Line and the Eastern Region Line.
Where demand justifies, more trains will also be added to improve the capacity of existing rail lines.

Industries in wafer fabrication and petrochemical require highly purified water. By supplying them with NEWater, we can better meet their needs and reduce the demand for potable water.
PUB will steadily expand Singapore’s NEWater production capacity and the distribution network. The construction of the fifth and largest NEWater plant to date (50mgd) at Changi will be completed by 2010, and link the NEWater clusters with pipes to form an island-wide network.

The cost of disasters were summed up last night in dollars lost, people displaced, lives lost as one would expect at a meeting hosted by Columbia University with the theme "From Sendai to Rio -- Cultivating a Disaster-Resilient Society for Sustainable Development."
However, what also shone through in this major debate on the theme of disaster risk reduction in advance of the Rio+20 conference, were the unexpected ways in which disasters can affect our lives driven by new forces which Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, Director of the Earth Institute, said "we are not ready for."

"I believe that we should never take things for granted. It was through the World Water Day each year that I begin to realise how fortunate we are to be in a developed country with easy access to clean water. However, it was also important to let the local community know what is happening in other parts of the world. That was how I started to organise activities, such as a mass water filtration exercise, during World Water Day each year to spread this water message across the community.
Over the last 10 years, I’ve seen more people willing to make a difference. They are stepping forward to lead activities that promote awareness in water conservation and sanitation. I believe our community wants everyone to appreciate the environment. We will need to continue our actions, whether big or small, to recognize the importance of water and sanitation. Not forgetting our friends who do not have clean access to water, we should continue to contribute in terms of donations or technological ideas to help them improve their lives." Mr Terence Kam, Secretary, T-Net Club@Taman Jurong, Singapore

Living Earth Foundation has been working in Nigeria since 1996, previously in partnership with the Living Earth Nigeria Foundation (LENF).
Living Earth Foundation has primarily worked in two key states in Nigeria; Bayelsa and Cross River State, located in the heart of the Niger River Delta on the southern coast of Nigeria. The Delta region is one of Nigeria’s most biodiversity rich areas; its mangrove forest is the largest in Africa and the third largest in the world. The area also contains Nigeria’s main oil reserves and since the discovery of oil in the region in 1956, major infrastructural developments including the building of roads and pipelines, along with an influx of migrant workers have taken place. Two million people now live in Bayelsa State and this, along with on-going development, is greatly impacting on the Delta’s ecosystem.
The natural resources of the Niger Delta are vital to the livelihoods of communities living there; communities generate income through livelihoods including farming, hunting, fishing and trading in forest products. As the oil industry has expanded, increased immigration and access to forests and fisheries has resulted in an over exploitation and unsustainable use of the Delta’s natural resources, threatening the livelihoods of the inhabitants in the area.
Living Earth’s community development and environmental education work enables communities to identify and address environmental problems whilst learning to manage their own resources.
