By Amina J. Mohammed

Following are extensive excerpts from her remarks to the Fourth Annual Symposium on the Role of Religion and Faith-based Organizations in International Affairs with the focus: “Perspectives on Migration: Displacement and Marginalization, Inclusion and Justice” in New York on 22 January 2018.* – The Editor

UNITED NATIONS (IDN) – Not since the Second World War have so many people fled their homes to seek a place of greater safety.

Il prezzo del degrado forestale e la perdita di biodiversità per la vita delle persone

Di Fabíola Ortiz

BONN (IDN) – Il degrado delle foreste e la perdita di biodiversità comportano un prezzo molto pesante per il clima e la vita delle persone. Il ripristino delle foreste è importante quando si tratta di aumentare la resilienza alle variazioni climatiche e garantire un ambiente sano per le generazioni future. Questo è stato il messaggio principale degli esperti e dei leaders che si sono incontrati a Bonn (19-20 dicembre 2017) per discutere un percorso più sostenibile per la preservazione ambientale.

“Dovremmo smettere di vedere le popolazioni indigene, le risorse naturali e le foreste come un problema. Potremmo vederli come una soluzione “, ha detto Robert Nasi, direttore generale del Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) che ha ospitato il Global Landscapes Forum;una grande piattaforma basata sulla scienza dell”uso sostenibile del territorio.…

रोड़ों के बावजूद तंज़ानिया द्वारा लिंग समानता को समर्थन

+किज़ितो मकोये द्वारा

दार एस सलाम (आईडीएन) – लैंगिक समानता को प्रोत्साहन देने के प्रयासों के बावजूद, तंज़ानिया में स्त्रियाँ और लड़कियाँ अब भी अधिकारहीन और मोटे तौर पर बेकार नागरिक हैं – जो एक पक्षपातपूर्ण पुरुष-प्रधान प्रणाली के कारण अक्सर पुरुष नागरिकों के भेदभाव और हिंसा का शिकार बनती हैं तथा उत्तरजीविता के कगार पर खड़ी हैं।

तथापि, संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघ के संधारणीय विकास लक्ष्यों (Sustainable Development Goals – SDGs) के अनुरूप स्त्रियों को सशक्त बनाने के लिए विभिन्न पहलें लागू की जा रही हैं, हालांकि उनको अब भी अपनी पूर्ण क्षमता तक पहुँचने से रोकने वाले अवरोधों का सामना करना पड़ रहा है।

अन्य चीजों में, SDG स्त्रियों के सशक्तिकरण, शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य सेवा, उत्तम काम और राजनीतिक और आर्थिक निर्णय प्रक्रियाओं में उचित प्रतिनिधित्व का आह्वान करते हैं, तथा इस दिशा में इस पूर्व अफ्रीकी देश में फिलहाल जारी कुछ पहलें निम्नानुसार हैं।…

Tanzania Inashinikiza Uwezeshaji Wa Kijinsia Licha Ya Vikwazo

Na Kizito Makoye

DAR ES SALAAM (IDN) – Licha ya jitihada za kukuza usawa wa kijnsia, wanawake na wasichana nchini Tanzania bado wamepuuzwa na kwa kiasi kikubwa wananchi wasiotumika – mara nyingi wanakabiliwa na ubaguzi na unyanyasaji kutoka kwa wenzao waume kwa sababu ya mfumo wa usimamiaji wa upendeleo wa wanaume ambao mara kwa mara unasukuma wanawake kwa ukingo wa kuishi.

Hata hivyo, kulingana na Malengo ya Maendeleo Endelevu ya Umoja wa Mataifa (SDGs), mipango mbalimbali inatekelezwa ili kuwawezesha wanawake, ingawa bado wanakabiliwa na vikwazo vinavyowazuia kufikia uwezo wao kamili.…

森林退化以及生物多样性的丧失给气候变化和人们的生计带来沉重代价。恢复森林对于增强气候适应能力和保证子孙后代拥有一个健康的生存环境起着至关重要的作用。这是2017年12月19、20日这两天专家和社区领导人在波恩举行的全球景观论坛上想传达的主要信息。此次论坛的召开旨在讨论并总结一条为保护自然环境的可持续发展之路。

国际森林研究中心主管Robert Nasi表示：“我们不应该将原住民，自然资源和森林看作是需要解决的问题来对待。我们应当将它们看作问题的解答方案。”研究中心主持召开的此次全球景观论坛是一个以达成土地可持续利用的目标的以科学为基础的大型平台。…

Thai Doctor Creating Multi-Faceted Approach to Sustainable Development

By Kalinga Seneviratne

CHANTABURI, Thailand (IDN) – A passionate, socially conscious doctor in this rural farming community in the north-east of Thailand is working with a school for marginalised children, supported by a foundation set up by Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, the second daughter of late King Bhumibol who died in October 2016.

The school aims at empowering the students to break into the medical field through an unconventional career path that is providing a multi-faceted approach to addressing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

트럼프 정권의 정치가 단독행동주의와 고립주의라고 하는 두개의 방향으로 점차 힘을 싣고있다.

Tanzania Pushing Gender Empowerment Despite Hurdles

By Kizito Makoye

DAR ES SALAAM (IDN) – Despite efforts to promote gender equality, women and girls in Tanzania are still marginalised and largely under-utilised citizens – often suffering from discrimination and violence from their male counterparts due to a biased male-dominated system which often pushes women to the brink of survival.

However, in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), various initiatives are being implemented to empower women, although they still face obstacles that prevent them from reaching their full potential. (P40) ARABIC | HINDI | ITALIAN | SWAHILI | JAPANESE TEXT VERSION PDF

森林破壊と生物多様性の喪失は、気候と人々の生活に多大な犠牲をもたらしている。森林の回復は、気候変動に対する柔軟性を育み、将来世代のための健全な環境を守るうえで、重要である。これが、森林保全に向けたより持続可能な道程を議論するために１２月１９・２０両日にボンに集った専門家や地域のリーダーらが発した重要なメッセージだ。

「私たちは、先住民族や天然資源、森林を問題と見なすのではなく、むしろ、解決策だとみるべきです。」と「国際森林研究センター」（CIFOR）のロバート・ナシ事務局長は語った。同センターは、持続可能な土地利用に関する科学を基盤とした大規模なプラットフォームである「グローバル景観フォーラム」の主催団体である。…
