While we recognize common items like bags and bottles, many everyday objects contain plastic in surprising ways. Ten unexpected sources of plastic include dust, air, clothing, fish, salt, drink cans, human blood, tea bags, paper cups, and snow. As countries work toward a global treaty to #BeatPlasticPollution, the fifth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (<a href="https://www.unep.org/inc-plastic-pollution/session-5">INC-5</a>) will be held in South Korea (25 November – 1 December), with the goal of creating a legally binding agreement to combat plastic pollution. The United Nations Development Programme (<a href="https://www.undp.org/">UNDP</a>) is tackling the plastic pollution crisis through more than 200 projects and 1,000 community initiatives in 132 countries, helping governments develop policies and regulation.</p> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-4"> <div class="unorg-home-square"> <a href="https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/voices/why-economic-inclusion-is-key-to-reducing-poverty-and-empowering-people"> <img src="https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/styles/3x2-front-thumbnail/public/2024/11/271124-wb-economic-inclusion.jpg" alt="A group of women participating in a social protection program in Madagascar." title=""/> </a> <span class="category"><a href="/en/property-cards-by-og-global-category/287/6608">Economic Development</a>, <a href="/en/property-cards-by-og-global-category/287/6952">World Bank</a></span> <h4 class="field-content mosaic"><a href="https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/voices/why-economic-inclusion-is-key-to-reducing-poverty-and-empowering-people">Why economic inclusion is key to poverty reduction</a></h4> <p>As the world faces pressing issues like poverty, inequality, and climate change, the poorest communities are often the hardest hit. The <a href="https://www.worldbank.org/ext/en/home">World Bank Group</a> aims to provide social protection to at least 500 million people by 2030, including 250 million women. Economic inclusion programs are vital in boosting income and assets, offering pathways to better job opportunities and resilience. These initiatives now reach 15 million households, benefiting over 70 million people globally, largely through government-led efforts, with NGOs providing additional support.

The UN does this by working to prevent conflict; helping parties in conflict make peace; peacekeeping; and creating the conditions to allow peace to hold and flourish.

Ever since, the development of, and respect for international law has been a key part of the work of the Organization. This work is carried out in many ways - by courts, tribunals, multilateral treaties - and by the Security Council, which can approve peacekeeping missions, impose sanctions, or authorize the use of force when there is a threat to international peace and security, if it deems this necessary. These powers are given to it by the UN Charter, which is considered an international treaty. As such, it is an instrument of international law, and UN Member States are bound by it. The UN Charter codifies the major principles of international relations, from sovereign equality of States to the prohibition of the use of force in international relations.</p> </div> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="section section-fluid main-bodies"> <div class="container">  <div id="un_org_home_main_bodies_of_the_organization"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3"> <div class="heading-block topmargin bottommargin-sm"> <h2>Structure of the <br>United Nations</h2> <p class="intro"><p>The main parts of the UN structure are the <a href="http://www.un.org/en/ga/">General Assembly</a>, the<br /><a href="https://www.un.org/securitycouncil/">Security Council</a>, the <a href="http://www.un.org/en/ecosoc/">Economic and Social Council</a>, the <a href="https://www.un.org/en/sections/about-un/trusteeship-council/">Trusteeship Council</a>, the <a href="http://www.icj-cij.org/en">International Court of Justice</a>, and the <a href="https://www.un.org/en/sections/about-un/secretariat/">UN Secretariat</a>.

This method not only benefits the environment but also presents new business opportunities and decent jobs. However, establishing these symbiotic value chains can be challenging, and ensuring that newly created jobs are both green and decent—especially in small and medium-sized enterprises—is not guaranteed. How can we effectively apply this concept to maximize benefits for businesses, workers, economies, and the environment?

Her journey to safety was perilous, and she now lives in a Buddhist monastery, grappling with fear and uncertainty for the future. Like Win, millions have been displaced, facing a deepening humanitarian crisis, with 18.6 million people in need of aid. Limited resources hinder the response, leaving many without adequate support.
