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.

Friday, September 24th & Saturday, September 25th, 2010
Each language is a unique key to a community’s world view and culture and plays a central role in transmitting historically-developed knowledge about specific, biologically-diverse environments. There is an increasing awareness and recognition of linguistic, cultural, and biodiversity as inter-related and mutually supporting aspects of the diversity of life. As such, the crises affecting these aspects—from biological extinction to disappearing languages—appear to converge and even drive each other on. Understanding the integrated nature of these crises is essential to working towards solutions.
As part of the UN-declared International Year of Biodiversity, on Friday and Saturday, September 24th and 25th, 2010, Trace Foundation will convene the fifth lecture in our lecture series Minority Languages in Today’s Global Society. In this event, we will examine the relationship between linguistic, cultural, and biological diversity from the perspectives of traditional land use, livelihoods, and medical knowledge.

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.
