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.

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
The tree nursery we funded in the jungle in Sarawak. In Borneo we are working in close collaboration with the community to help them to resist, cope with and reverse the deforestation of their environment.

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.

Scientists at the Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA) checking the results of a new plant variety bred in their experiment fields. 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.

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."

Ivory burning site in Nairobi National Park. In 2016, the Kenyan government burned more than 105 tons of elephant irony and rhino horn - the largest burning in the world to date - as a sign of opposition to the illegal wildlife trade. To date, poaching has declined by more then 80% since 2013, due in part to increased security and conservation measures.

Access to clean water is vital at any school, so we install water bore holes and pumps at every school with which we work, if they are not already installed. The water pump at Komouk was deepened by Moving Mountains Kenya as it had run dry.
