Scientists inside the laboratories at the Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA) evaluating samples of plants. 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.

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.

Jean Noel Marc Paget, manager of a clean energy store in Les Anglais, in Haiti's rural south-west.
Enèji Pwòp - a clean energy retail program run by US not-for-profit Earthspark International and supported by UNEP since 2011 - provides a product line of small-scale, clean and energy-efficient products for families who would otherwise rely on kerosene and candles to light their homes and businesses.
Solar desk lamps offer over 5 times as much light output as a kerosene lamps, and can pay for themselves out of fuel savings in less than 6 months. Solar lights are much safer - the exposed flame of a kerosene lamp or candle is responsible for burning hundreds of children every year, and occasionally burns homes down.
The solar products are sold through a growing network of about 75 local entrepreneurs - in shops and market stalls (including roving sellers) - including 40 in the South Department.
Since the start of the initiative, about 12,000 solar products have been sold - about half of those in the South Department.

Boutique d'objets alimentés en énergie propre, Les Anglais, Département du Sud, Haïti
Jean Noel Marc Paget, directeur d'un magasin d'objets fonctionnant grâce aux énergies renouvelables situé aux Anglais, dans le sud ouest rural d'Haïti.
Enèji Pwòp est un programme de marché de détail pour l'énergie, dirigé par l'organisation américaine non lucrative Earthpark International, avec l'appui du PNUE et le soutien financier du gouvernement norvégien depuis 2011. Il offre une gamme de produits à des familles qui sans cela s'éclaireraient à la bougie ou au kérosène.
Les lampes de bureau solaires fournissent 5 fois plus de lumière que les lampes à kérosène et leur achat est rentabilisé en moins de 6 mois. Les lampes solaires sont bien plus sûres que les lampes à kérosène et les bougies qui brûlent des centaines d'enfants chaque année et provoquent parfois des incendies ravageant les habitations.
Le réseau d'entrepreneurs s'accroît et compte environ 75 membres, qui assurent la vente des produits solaires dans les boutiques et sur les marchés, dont 40 sont situés dans le Département du Sud.
Depuis le lancement du projet, 12000 produits ont été vendus, dont la moitié dans le Département du Sud.

Scenes from a side event during the 70th General Assembly: "Using Inclusive Partnerships to Deliver on the SDGs: the Role of Gender-Responsive Budgeting."
The side event built on a series of high-level meetings on transformative financing for gender equality and women’s empowerment and highlighted how inclusive partnerships can improve the effectiveness, quality and impact of financing for gender equality. It showcased country level application of gender-responsive budgeting as a key driver for increasing resources to achieve gender equality commitments in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Moreover, the event will demonstrate the contribution of the Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation (GPEDC) as a dynamic platform for fostering mutual learning and contributing to implementation of the SDGs.
The event was hosted by Malawi, Mexico and the Kingdom of the Netherlands as Co-Chairs of the GPEDC, as well as UN Women.

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.
