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.

Hope is the strongest driving force for people. Hope which brings about change, which produces new realities, is what opens man's road to freedom. Once hope has taken hold, courage must unite with wisdom. That is the only way of avoiding violence, the only way of maintaining the calm one needs to respond peacefully to offenses.
-- Oscar Arias Sanchez
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.

After Hurricane Isidore hit the west coast of Mexico in 2002 – at the time the second-most intense Pacific hurricane to have ever struck there - local women got together to rectify the devastation, starting with a water committee. Their work started as a recovery programme, and has since blossomed into a comprehensive project for resilient guardianship of the ecosystems that give life and livelihood.
