Photo exhibition at the Palais des Nations entitled "Shared Risks, Shared Responsibility: Opportunities for Cooperation".
This photo exhibit is an event to highlight existing practices and opportunities to build disaster resilient communities and nations, as part of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA), a ten-year plan endorsed by the General Assembly in 2005 to coordinate country efforts to reduce disaster risk.
It provides visual evidence of how countries are interpreting the HFA principles to reduce risk to protect and advance development, and the need for this important work to be fully integrated into sustainable development initiatives.

The event the New York Times described as “One of the top ten holiday happenings in the nation” was held for its 110th year in Newport Harbour on Wednesday, December 14th through the 18th, 2022.
The 114th Annual Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade took place over five spectacular nights from December 14 to 18, 2022, in Newport Beach, California, USA. For over a century, more than 150 beautifully decorated yachts and boats of various sizes have participated in the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade and lit up Newport Beach nightly. For five nights, we have enjoyed the parade in a variety of exciting ways, including a family-friendly event on the sand, by boat, or from the shore.
RING OF LIGHTS:
Homes along the Christmas Boat Parade route competed in a ‘Ring of Lights’ decorating contest, with each home displaying its own extravagantly themed decorations. The Ring of Lights has become as popular as the boat parade itself, with lights on every façade, roof-top animated scenes, and dancing Christmas trees. Visitors could view the homes by walking around Newport Beach waterfront neighbourhoods like Balboa Island and Balboa Village or by boat charter or boat rental.
FIREWORKS:
On opening night, the parade featured an exhilarating firework display from the Newport Pier, and on closing night, it featured an exhilarating firework display from the Balboa Pier.
Where We Live and Work.
Global Bank Group’s headquarters in the United States is located in Newport Beach, California, where we live and work. In addition to the breathtaking landscape, the City of Newport Beach has world-class shopping, restaurants, and hotels for visitors to enjoy.

The Ouseburn community farm was created as part of the wider Ouseburn regeneration project. The initiative aims to provide a learning space to teach about animals and the environment. The innovative building design is a model of sustainable construction. The site meanwhile was a former Lead Works (established in 1871) manufacturing white lead for the paint industry. It's an interesting use of space today merging heritage conservation with sustainable development.

In 2010, Living Earth Foundation launched the pan African Waste to Wealth programme. The project responds to specific challenges faced by poor people living in urban slums in Africa.
The programme encourages all sectors of society to develop collaborative solutions to tackle the challenges of waste management. We support entrepreneurs, micro enterprises, social ventures and community groups to generate an income through waste recycling, and to develop public private partnerships with local government to improve waste collection and waste management in poor slum areas.
Living Earth’s Waste to Wealth programme is funded by the European Union, the UK Government’s Department for International Development and Comic Relief, and is currently active in Cameroon, Nigeria, Uganda and Sierra Leone.
