	UNDP's One Day on Earth  On 10 October, 2010, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) staff members in more than 100 countries worldwide took part in a collaborative film project to document the work of UNDP. For many, this was their first time using a video camera. The result of their collaborative efforts is an 8 minute film highlighting the breath of UNDP's impact. It offers a glimpse into the daily operations of country offices across the globe, showcasing what UNDP does and how it manages its global partnerships. The film also highlights the diversity of cultures with which UNDP works and emphasizes the particular UN priority issues and Millennium Development Goals that UNDP addresses. The finished product, entitled "UNDP's One Day on Earth," takes on the form of a collage, capturing unprecedented video snapshots from every country on earth in a 24-hour period. In total, 16000 filmmakers from over 190 countries helped to document the countless stories of triumph, tragedy, hope and fear that take place in the world each day. Currently, the "One Day on Earth" ( www.onedayonearth.org )initiative is producing a feature-length documentary that will be released later this year. The initiative has also created an unprecedented video archive, which is available to the entire community of film contributors. The archive can be accessed via a searchable Geo-tagged online map at: archive.onedayonearth.org. In order to ensure widespread participation in the filming process, the "One Day on Earth ... 2011年06月13日再生回数 40515
	UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Antonio Banderas - Rio+20  UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Antonio Banderas invites people to join the global conversation on Rio+20 World renowned Spanish actor and UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Antonio Banderas today launched a public service announcement aiming at inviting people to join the global conversation alongside the 2012 UN Conference on Sustainable Development "Rio+20". "Sustainable development is about people. It is about creating jobs and improving lives while respecting the environment. Eradicating poverty, preventing conflicts, empowering women and girls, and building responsible governing institutions are critical components", says Banderas to illustrate the importance of an event which represents a historic opportunity to define pathways to a safer, more equitable, cleaner, greener and more prosperous world for all. The 2012 UN Conference on Sustainable Development, or "Rio+20" is a forum on how to make sustainable development a reality for seven billion people today, and to define the future we want for nine billion by 2050. "The development challenges we are facing now require us to steep the agenda up to a whole new level," said UNDP Administrator Helen Clark. "That is what the leaders need to focus on. How are we really going to bring together the economic, the social and the environmental strengths of development to produce something truly sustainable that will improve the life chances and possibilities for the people living in the poorest parts of the world".

	UNDP: Remittances help get water in Vaksh Valley, Tajikistan  A UNDP clip: In Tajikistan most rural inhabitants don't have access to drinking water near their homes. This innovative project, initiated by UNDP and the European Commission's 'ECHO' Programme, encourages Tajik migrant workers to earmark some of the money they earn abroad for the installation of drinking water facilities for their families back home. This should not only mobilize considerable funds, but also create an incentive for local inhabitants to participate in the construction and maintenance of water facilities. 2008年08月14日再生回数 873
	UNDP: Why human development report?  Human Development is a development paradigm that is about much more than the rise or fall of national incomes. It is about creating an environment in which people can develop their full potential and lead productive, creative lives in accord with their needs and interests. People are the real wealth of nations. Development is thus about expanding the choices people have to lead lives that they value. And it is thus about much more than economic growth, which is only a means —if a very important one —of enlarging people's choices. Source: UNDP hdr.undp.org 2008年04月26日再生回数 5494
	Kiribati - A Climate Change Reality  Boobu Tioram, a resident of the Pacific island of Kirabati, took time out from reinforcing a seawall in front of his newly built house to speak with UNDP about what climate change has meant to his way of life. I have moved three times, every three years I have moved, he said, standing on the beach a few metres from his home. Tioram gestured toward a point about 20 metres into the sea, and explained that his first house once stood on a spot now covered in swelling ocean waves. Each time he has moved farther inland, and each time the sea has followed. Im not sure how long Ill be [in this house], Tioram continued. That depends on how strong my seawall here can withstand high tide waves. UNDP believes that it is the developing world that stands to lose the most, and which is already losing out, as the effects of climate change edge toward the catastrophic. As climate negotiations open in Copenhagen, worlds away from this tiny Pacific nation consisting of 33 low lying atolls, it is important to keep in mind that for the people of Kirabati, and other poor island and coastal nations, funds for adaptation and not only prevention must top the international to-do list. Carbon trading will be of no special consequence to us, so there has got to be some very special provisions for the victims, said Kirabati President Anote Tong. Not the potential victims, but the victims, because we are the victims, so there has to be some very deep soul searching. Kirabati is no more than four ... 2009年12月10日再生回数 770474
	UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Antonio Banderas  UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Antonio Banderas joins UN Secretary-General to mobilize action for the MDGs UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Antonio Banderas spoke at the first meeting of an advocacy group created by the UN to spur action towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In his statement during the opening session, Banderas said that his appointment as a Goodwill Ambassador was "the start of a journey in which I have been asked to reflect on my commitment to the era I live in, and an opportunity to explore my personal responsibility towards people who have not been as fortunate as me." He added that his role with UNDP serves as "a way of understanding and acting to help the millions of human beings who are victims of endemic injustice arising from gender inequality, the lack of food, and the impossibility of receiving healthcare, education or decent housing." The Spanish actor also mentioned that there is a "risk" of the public "becoming insensitive to the suffering of the poor that appears on our television screens for a few minutes." "Unfortunately," Banderas said, "the world is not the screen of our TV sets and for many people —too many— suffering is something permanent, constant and desperate." Established last month, the MDG Advocacy Group is co-chaired by Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and Rwandan President Paul Kagame. The team is composed of prominent politicos and philanthropists who will mobilize action on the eight Goals. At the ... 2010年07月19日再生回数 1650
	Zambia Climate Change  In Zambia, any change in climate can spell disaster. With a majority of Zambians depending on agriculture, even a slight change in temperature can affect crops like maize with catastrophic consequences for livelihoods. In the village of Lusitu, in the south of Zambia, the returns from farming have diminished due to severe droughts. According to Eva Chipepo, a local villager, rainfall is insufficient to give us a good crop yield and wild animals have started to wander in the fields, further destroying crops. Another Lusitu resident confirms that life has become more difficult. In the past, he says, we were able to find solutions to whatever challenges we were faced with. Rivers never ran dry. With more frequent droughts, but also floods, says Catherine Namugala, Minister of Tourism and Environment, the government must look for resources to provide relief to the people. The country was already struggling to achieve development, she says, and climate change is putting additional strain on that process. Domiciano Mulenga, National Coordinator for Zambias Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit, confirms that the government is spending increased amounts of money for disaster response. We are moving money and resources away from development programmes for disaster response, he says. Climate change has also begun to affect Zambias national tourism industry. If extreme weather changes continue, in about 50 years, all that will remain of the Victoria Falls, known as the 7th wonder ... 2010年01月07日再生回数 26011
	South Sudan - UNDP Video Blog  It seems a little strange to fall asleep in one country and wake up the next day in a completely new one, all without having moved a single step. I went to bed in Sudan on July 8th, and awoke in the Republic of South Sudan on July 9th. I had been offered the chance to witness history firsthand, when UNDP sent me to provide additional hands on deck to support our office there during the new country's Independence Day period. As a Kenyan, with Sudan next door, I remember the South Sudanese story from my childhood. The war that never seemed to end during which, it is estimated, more than 2 million people lost their lives. Refugees hosted in northwestern Kenya. Food drops into Southern Sudan. And then, in 2005, a peace agreement, signed in Kenya, gave the Southern Sudanese the chance to vote in a referendum to either remain united or secede from the North. At 11pm on Friday 8 July we could already hear the celebrations going on in the streets outside -- car horns and music blaring, dancing and the ubiquitous cheer: "South Sudan Oyee!" Police officers decked out in their green uniforms were keeping watch -- not imposing, but politely present. The traffic police were even directing traffic as the clock struck midnight. It was stifling hot on Saturday 9th July, the day the Republic of South Sudan became the newest country in the world. At the Dr. John Garang Mausoleum grounds, the main celebrations venue in the capital Juba, the crowd swelled as the ceremony begun-- women, men ... 2011年08月09日再生回数 4011
	UNDP Haiti - Rebuilding Houses  For the past four months the Community Support Centres for House Self-Repair, known by the French acronym CARMEN, have been empowering quake-affected communities in Port-au-Prince and the western town of Léogâne to directly take charge of house reparations, with engineering assessments and construction trainings. The UN Development Programme (UNDP)-Government of Haiti initiative has registered more than 19000 people who will be trained in disaster-resilient house building techniques. Nearly half of them are women. One thousand low-income Haitians receiving a US$500 grant to buy certified quality construction materials through the project's innovative money transfer scheme via mobile phone—the first ever for housing repair efforts. Only 10 percent of the population owns bank accounts, but mobile phone coverage in Haiti jumped from nine to 50 percent in the last six years. Such mobile money schemes also have the potential to include a large number of Haitians in an alternative financial system. 2012年04月12日再生回数 286
	Maria Sharapova, UNDP Goodwill Ambassador in Belarus  Maria Sharapova, tennis star and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Goodwill Ambassador, today made a personal contribution of US $250000 to expand a UNDP-supported programme that provides sports and physical activities for youth in the area affected by the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster. A report from the 2005 Chernobyl Forum, involving eight specialized UN agencies and the governments of Belarus, Russia and the Ukraine, found that although the health-related effects of the disaster have cleared up, poverty and diseases related to alcohol, smoking, stress and poor diets remain serious threats to people living in the region. Sharapova said that despite the challenges, "I've seen progress in Gomel and kids with a great potential to do even more. What they need is to work hard and believe in themselves. Having supported health and education initiatives I am very happy to start contributing on sports and physical activities that promote healthy lifestyles" she added. The family of Sharapova, 23, fled Gomel a year before she was born because of radiation concerns in the wake of the accident, which exposed more than 8 million people in Belarus, Ukraine and Russia to radiation. Sharapova made the announcement during a two-day visit, where she saw first hand a number of youth-focused projects financed by UNDP and the Maria Sharapova Foundation. She also met with the 2009 winners of a UNDP/Maria Sharpova Foundation scholarship programme for students coming from the ... 2010年07月02日再生回数 9717
