Thailand’s Bangkok International Airport is Expanded
The Bangkok (Don Muang) International Airport is an important crossroads for air traffic linking Europe, Africa and the Middle East to the Asian and Pacific regions. Recognizing this, the Government of Thailand has taken steps to enlarge the Airport’s capacity to handle increased passenger services. The United Nation Development Programme (UNDP) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) are assisting Thailand in formulating and implementing the National Airport Development Plan. The project provides: training in aerodrome engineering, review of designs, technical analysis of site investigations, soil tests, runway configuration, building layout, parking aprons and refueling system. The project also provides advisory services for planned construction. A project official works with the Airport Authority of Thailand (AAT) to ensure that new facilities meet international standards and are consistent with the planned expansion.
Passengers await their luggage at the newly built section of the airport.

Although the historic city of Famagusta existed since Hellenistic and Byzantine times, many of its architectural treasures suffered from deterioration over time.
The Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage was able to bring Famagusta at the center of their work since 2014 when conservation works to the Othello Tower started.
The support to the revitalization of the walled city of Famagusta continues with conservation works to the Martinengo Bastion, Ravelin/Land Gate, and the city-side portion of the Walls between Arsenal and Sea Gate. These are three of seven projects that, thanks to European Union funding and UNDP support, the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage is currently carrying out in Famagusta Walled City. The other ongoing projects are conservation works to: St. Mary Church of Armenians, St Mary Church of Carmel (Carmelite), St. Anne Church, the Mescit of Tabakhane/Tanner’s Mosque (Jacobite Church). New designs are under preparation for Canbulat and for Seagate will also start soon.
These projects together form part of what the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage refers to as “Martinengo Cluster”. Clusters are critical mass areas of monuments identified by the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage to promote their reintegration in the topography of the walled city.
All these projects are fully funded by the European Union for a total amount of more than 4 Million Euro invested in Famagusta’s heritage so far since 2012. Working together on Famagusta gives the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage the opportunity to develop a joint vision for the city, and UNDP fully supports these efforts, convinced that cultural heritage conservation is playing a pivotal role in bringing Cypriots together around their shared heritage.

One means of nurturing the symbiosis between healthy local soils and native seeds is via homemade local fertilisers.
Locals sniff out a particular forest soil bacteria and then cultivate the microbial community, supplementing its growth with sugar/molasses and wheat bran. After two months of brewing – one anaerobic, one aerobic - the resulting slurry is a potent source of soil nutrients.

European Electric Car Rally Finishing Phase at United Nations for 1.5 Degrees
Europe’s largest electric vehicle rally passes through Geneva as a part of its finishing phases in Switzerland on the Place des Nations on 17 June 2016, after travelling 1,300km from Bremerhaven, Germany.
There will be an opportunity for an aerial photograph of the more than 70 teams of electric cars participating in the rally in the formation of 1.5 degrees Celsius (hashtag: #1o5C), the goal of limiting global warming at the centre of the new United Nations Paris Agreement on climate change. The 1.5 degrees symbol will be formed on the Place des Nations, in front of the United Nations at Geneva. Organisers will be facilitating access to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) building for the purpose of the aerial photograph. In addition, a 4.5m x 4.5m black cube will be installed on the Place des Nations symbolising the emission avoided by each car participating in the rally.
The occasion will be marked by statements from United Nations representatives, representatives from the electric vehicle rally (World Advanced Vehicle Expedition), and of the State of Geneva.

Within the hard economic situation, UNDP is establishing an agroforestry site to serve the beekeepers of Akkar in their winter production of honey. As they are faced with seasonal climatic challenges, around 240 beekeepers from the area are obliged to rent lands at lower altitudes to settle their beehives and undergo the winter seasons. To minimize their expenses and protect their honey production, this site is being established in Tal Abbas, a village in the Sahel Union of Akkar, in collaboration with the municipality of Tal Abbas and the beekeepers cooperative of Akkar. As it is being implemented by around 50 Lebanese and Syrian men and women of Akkar, as a short-term income-generating opportunity for them, the site will be planted by winter flowering trees and herbs to ensure winter productivity of the beekeepers. The site will host around 100 beehives and plant around 500 flowering trees. Not only will it serve for honey production, but the species planted on this land will ensure fruits and herb production that will generate the income needed for the maintenance and operational management of the site.
