SPOTLIGHTING SUSTAINABILITY, THE UN GOES DARK FOR EARTH HOUR 2012
SPOTLIGHTING SUSTAINABILITY, THE UN GOES DARK FOR EARTH HOUR 2012
New York, Mar 31 2012 3:10PM
The United Nations will today turn off the lights for one hour at its Headquarters in New York and other facilities around the world in observance of "Earth Hour", an annual global event that seeks to raise awareness on the need to take action on climate change.
New York, Mar 31 2012 3:10PM
The United Nations will today turn off the lights for one hour at its Headquarters in New York and other facilities around the world in observance of "Earth Hour", an annual global event that seeks to raise awareness on the need to take action on climate change.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in a statement that the UN was turning off its lights "in solidarity with men, women and children – 20 per cent of all humankind – who live with no access to electricity."
Mr. Ban, who in September launched an initiative to achieve universal and sustainable access to this vital resource, called Earth Hour "a symbol of our commitment to sustainable energy for all," and underscored the need to "fuel our future with clean, efficient and affordable energy."
Earth Hour, launched in 2007 in Australia by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), calls for people, organizations and cities to turn off their non-essential light for one hour starting at 8:30 p.m. local time.
This is the third year that the United Nations joins hundreds of millions of people around the world in switching off the lights. Last year, more than 5,200 cities and towns in 135 countries participated in the event.
While the actual hour is a symbolic call to action on climate change and not intended as an energy-saving measure, event organizers are asking people to "go beyond the hour" and take meaningful steps to reduce their energy consumption after the light go back on.
Secretary-General of the UN Sustainable Development conference (Rio+20) that will take place this June in Brazil, Sha Zukang, said Earth Hour is an event that helps people think about the need to take actions that promote sustainable development.
"We cannot continue business as usual. We need to rethink the way we use our resources, how we promote well-being and protect the environment. We need to pursue new ideas," Mr. Zukang said.

SECURITY COUNCIL URGES POLITICAL PARTIES IN GUINEA-BISSAU TO ENGAGE IN DIALOGUE
SECURITY COUNCIL URGES POLITICAL PARTIES IN GUINEA-BISSAU TO ENGAGE IN DIALOGUE
New York, Mar 31 2012 2:10PM
The Security Council today urged political parties in Guinea-Bissau to engage in dialogue ahead of the upcoming run-off elections next month to ensure a peaceful conclusion to the electoral process that started in January, and to be able to maintain unity and stability in the country.
New York, Mar 31 2012 2:10PM
The Security Council today urged political parties in Guinea-Bissau to engage in dialogue ahead of the upcoming run-off elections next month to ensure a peaceful conclusion to the electoral process that started in January, and to be able to maintain unity and stability in the country.
"The members of the Security Council called upon all political leaders and their supporters to exercise restraint and to refrain from any action that could hamper the electoral process," said Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant of the United Kingdom, which holds the Council's presidency this month, in a press statement.
The West African nation is undergoing a political transition as a result of the death of President Malam Bacai Sanhá in January, which prompted early elections -- the first round of which were held on 18 March. A run-off is now scheduled for 22 April between former Prime Minister Carlo
s Gomes Junior and ex-president Kumba Yala.
The Council also called on the parties to resolve their disputes in accordance with the constitutional framework in line with the legal instruments set out by the African Union (AU) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
Members of the Council praised the smooth conduct of the first round of the presidential elections and congratulated the people of Guinea-Bissau for their peaceful participation in the democratic process and underlined the importance of having a successful conclusion to the elections to be able to address issues of priority in the country such as drug trafficking, security sector reform, demobilization of the military and police and advancing the national reconciliation process, among others.
Mr. Lyall Grant said members of the Council "urged Guinea-Bissau's national authorities to continue addressing these issues and the United Nations as well as the international community to continue supporting Gui
nea Bissau's national authorities to achieve these aims."
Members of the Council also emphasised the need for the national authorities in Guinea-Bissau to bring those responsible for any acts of election-related violence to justice and reiterated that the Government is responsible for ensuring the security of its population and creating an atmosphere conducive to the peaceful conduct of the elections.
On Wednesday, the 15-member body was briefed by the Special Representative of the Secretary- General and Head of the UN Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Guinea-Bissau (UNIOGBIS) Joseph Mutaboba on the situation in the country as well as by Ambassador Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti, Chair of the Guinea-Bissau Configuration of the Peacebuilding Commission.
Mr. Lyall Grant said the Council will continue to closely follow the situation in the country.
