New York, 20 September 2017 – The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) present significant opportunities for the private sector to open up new market opportunities, attract new private investments in sustainable development by leveraging companies’ core competencies, expertise and resources.
Recognising this, UN leadership, including UNDP Administrator Achim Steiner and UN Global Compact CEO and and Executive Director Lise Kingo, met on Wednesday with CEOs from Ikea, Nutriset, Microsoft, Telenor, AACE and Willis Towers Watson to discuss how private sector and development actors can more systematically collaborate to achieve the SDGs while ensuring business profit, scale and sustainability.

While the small terrarium is not enough to capture the full beauty of a terrestrial environment, one can still see the humidity from the condensation on the sides of the glass, the moss extending sporophytes towards the sun in hopes of reproduction, and the delicate string of turtles slowly wrapping around the perimeter of the capsules. The photo presents the multitude of processes that occur even within a few cubic inches of space in a terrestrial-environment mimic.
A main ecological concept shown in the photo is the hydrologic cycle where water evaporates during noon then condenses onto the glass in cooler phases of the day. Likewise in nature, the ceaseless evaporation, condensation and precipitation of water quite literally keeps the life, living. Certainly, the fickle relationship between water and enclosed spaces makes creating stable terrariums difficult.
In nature, the lower-lying plants often experience higher humidity microhabitats than the larger trees. Since mosses have no roots, they rely on water collecting from their filamentous gametophytes or those that pool near their base. Plants just a few millimeters above the mosses such as the string of turtles (Peperomia prostrata) have slightly less humid conditions.
The terrarium represents the delicate balance between humidity gradations and the subsequent diversity of plants.
In the perspective of the small terrarium, too much water can lead to root rot or mold, while too little can dry out the plants. In the perspective of terrestrial ecosystems, the quantity of water can vastly change the characteristics and subsequent biomes of an area from a desert to a temperate forest to a swamp.
The photo ties in with the 15th Sustainable Development Goal: Life on Land, which aims to “[p]rotect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss” (United Nations 2015). Specifically, this photo that I took at 13:20 on September 15, 2021 in my off-campus room is a constant reminder that the biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems is in decline due to human activities. If my smallest terrarium of 3 cubic inches of volume can hold 3 species and imitate the hydrologic cycle, how much more variety of organisms, functions, and processes can an entire forest hold? As the SDG relays, “forests are the most biologically-diverse ecosystems on land” and “contribute to the balance of . . . humidity in the air,” both of which I observed while building my terrariums (United Nations 2015). The terrariums are peeks into the fragile balance of nature that we as humans are upending every day.

6:43 am: After working all night and sleeping at 3 am, I woke up before my 9:26 am alarm, unable to fall back asleep. When I am stressed – as with the recent surge of exams and projects – I get insomnia. That morning was no different. On the bright side, at least I have more time to do my work, I thought, as I got up and opened my laptop.
9:56 am: I knock on the lab door only to have the grad student inside remind me that lab was cancelled today. Ah, I forgot. As my next class wasn’t until 11 am, I walked to the Animal Science building, buying a coffee on the way to clear my head like it was a crisp fall sky.
10:33 am: Sitting at the Animal Science building courtyard, I sip my coffee and capture the brilliant contrast of golden leaves against the blue sky on my camera. The area around this building seems to be the only place on campus that has proper “autumn” trees instead of the usual dreary brownish yellow or coniferous tree varieties. But as much as I prefer the bright reds and oranges, all of the leaves’ colors are essential for the tree’s growth and survival.
During spring and summer, green chlorophyll is the dominant colored molecule in plant cells because it is key in photosynthesis. Other colored molecules such as red anthocyanin, orange beta carotene, and yellow xanthophyll, are simply at lower concentration within the leaf that they are not visible in the ocean of green chlorophylls. These secondary molecules help keep the leaf healthy by regulating the amount of light that hits the chlorophylls and protecting the cell from UV radiation (Coder 2012). As the warm days come to a close, trees undergo senescence, the ecological process of slowing down tree metabolism and reallocating nutrients from the leaves into the branches (Coder 2012). A byproduct – so to speak – of senescence is the emergence of warmer leaf tones as chlorophyll production decreases. In a few weeks, the trees will have completed senescence, their leaves settled over the roots like a winter blanket, prepared for the coming winter.
I am taken aback every year by the jeweled leaves of autumn reaching towards the empty sky, and it saddens me that there are very few autumnal green space areas on campus to feel such similar joy. But what disheartens me most is that there are people in D.C., in the country, and abroad who do not have even the slightest bit of green space in their communities. Tying it into the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #11 “Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable” and Target 11.7 “By 2030, provide universal access to safe, inclusive and accessible, green and public spaces, in particular for women and children, older persons and persons with disabilities,” the Animal Science courtyard gave me a break from the pressures of school and allowed me to recharge mentally for the rest of day (United Nations 2015). In all honesty, the rehabilitating effects of the nature around me that morning was more effective at improving my mood and energy than was the coffee that I bought earlier. I hope that in the near future societies everywhere can provide green space as a recreational hub, refuge from bustling life, and a safe space for its community members, because access to green spaces should be a liberty, not a right reserved for certain demographics.

"Today’s global food system has major weaknesses: nearly 800 million people are left hungry, one-third of the human race is malnourished, over half of some crops never make it to the table, and the planet is ravaged from environmentally unfriendly agricultural practices. As the global population is expected to soar exponentially in the coming years, we must examine ways to feed more people efficiently and sustainably, while combating climate change."

Villages of Voskepar and Voskevan in Tavush region on the Azerbaijani border where UNDP has a greenhouse project. Beneficiary family, elementary school, people living under threat of shooting due to conflict.
GOAL 1: NO POVERTY
While extreme poverty in the region has largely been eradicated, new threats brought on by climate change, conflict, and food insecurity mean even more work is needed to bring people out of poverty.
Through a UNDP-supported project promoting local development planning for resilient rural communities in Armenia, approximately 6,000 people from more than 50 communities benefitted from efforts to bolster climate resilience. The project made a direct impact on people’s lives and economic prosperity. A total of 131 people from 43 rural communities were trained on climate change risk management and risk mitigation activities, and 33 rural households directly benefitted from drip irrigation systems for 27 greenhouses in three communities.

Newport Beach, CA – January 27, 2023 — Global Bank President Ron Nechemia issued the following statement on the 78th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau—as the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Today, we commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day by remembering the six million Jews and millions of other victims of Nazism who were persecuted and systematically murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators.
Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators murdered over six million Jews. The Holocaust, also known as the “Shoah” in Hebrew, is the Hebrew word for “catastrophe,” which was Nazi Germany's "Germany’s “Final Solution” for annihilating all Jews within Nazi Germany’s grasp. Approximately two-thirds of Europe’s Jewish population had been murdered by the end of this heinous act.
The Holocaust was a disaster not only for the Jewish people in Europe but also for all those persecuted during the Nazi era and, indeed, for all humanity. As such, it contains lessons for all of humanity.
“Many people believed that the horrors of WWII — the camps, the cruelty, the exterminations, the Holocaust — could never happen again. And yet they have in Cambodia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda, and most recently in Bucha, Ukraine. This decade has shown that man’s capacity for evil knows no bounds. Genocide — the annihilation of an entire people based on ethnic, national origin, racial, or religious group—in whole or in part — has also become a word of our time, a stark and haunting reminder of why our vigilance must be unwavering,” says Ron Nechemia the President of the Global Bank Group on the accession of International Holocaust Remembrance Day – January 27, 2023.
Over the past year, we have all witnessed themes ranging from violations of men’s and women’s rights to unspeakable atrocities, all of which amount to war crimes against Ukrainian civilians. We recognise, once again, that human rights are at the heart of every major challenge confronting humanity and that human rights are at the heart of every solution we devise.
My thoughts and prayers are with all families affected by this horrific Bucha Massacre, and other places in Ukraine and other conflict zones, especially those who have lost or are still missing loved ones, refugees and displaced people –– largely innocent victims caught up in political upheavals of historic proportions.
“While we can rebuild complex infrastructure spanning from nuclear energy to bullet trains, telecom towers and fiber optic cable to waste and water treatment facilities, schools and hospitals, and we can even land a man or woman on the moon, we cannot ever restore life, where life has been taken away,” says Ron Nechemia.
NEVER AGAIN
Whether in Bosnia, Rwanda, Xinjiang, Bucha, Kharkiv, or Mariupol, “Never Again” is a recurring theme.
On this annual commemorative day, the Global Bank Group urges all member states of the United Nations to remember the six million Jewish Holocaust victims and millions of other victims of Nazism and develop educational programmes to help prevent future genocides.
Global Bank Group will continue to raise these issues and call for change, to stand up for peace, security, and human dignity.
Our organisational purpose, and values, are in the Global Bank Charter. The central role of the Global Bank Group is embracing the Bank Group’s ideals and values enshrined in the Global Bank Charter; respect for fundamental human rights of men and women, social justice and human dignity, peace and security, the worth of the human person, self-determination of peoples, social progress and development, and leave no one behind.
