Following the
recommendations of the UN-ECE/FAO/ILO Seminar Forest, Fire and Global
Change (Russia 1996) and a number of international conferences the
UN- ECE/FAO Team of Specialists on Forest Fire proposed the
establishment of an institution which at that time was preliminarily
designated as a Global Fire Management Facility. On the basis of
these recommendations the Government of Germany through the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance,
in June 1998 provided initial funding for the establishment of such an
entity which was designated Global Fire Monitoring Center (GFMC).
The GFMC was inaugurated at the FAO Meeting on Public Policies
Affecting Forest Fires (Rome, October 1998) and is in line with the
- Objectives of the UN
International Decade of Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR) and
its follow-up arrangement UN International Strategy for Disaster
Reduction (ISDR), financed by the Foreign Office of Germany;
- objectives of work of
the UN-FAO/ECE/ILO Team of Specialists on Forest Fire;

Health Organization (WHO) and various scientific and policy
conferences;

for the tsunami-affected population, systematic-scientific and
technology-based efforts are needed. Also rehabilitation work should
focused on cost-effective methods for tsunami rehabilitation. This

University for Peace |
http://www.upeace.org/about/ |
Headquartered in Costa Rica, the United Nations-mandated
University for Peace was established in December 1980 as a
Treaty Organization by the UN General Assembly. As
determined in the Charter of the University, the mission of
the University for Peace is: “to provide humanity with
an international institution of higher education for peace
with the aim of promoting among all human beings the spirit
of understanding, tolerance and peaceful coexistence, to
stimulate cooperation among peoples and to help lessen
obstacles and threats to world peace and progress, in
keeping with the noble aspirations proclaimed in the Charter
of the United Nations.” To ensure academic
freedom, the University was established under its own
Charter, approved by the General Assembly. UPEACE is not
subject to UN regulations and is directed by its own Council
of renowned personalities with expertise in peace and
security matters. This has allowed the University to move
rapidly and to innovate, focusing its new, rigorous academic
programme on the fundamental causes of conflict through a
multidisciplinary, multicultural-oriented approach.The wider
mission of the University should be seen in the context of
the worldwide peace and security objectives of the United
Nations. The central importance of education, training and
research in all their aspects to build the foundations of
peace and progress and to reduce the prejudice and hatred on
which violence, conflict and terrorism are based is
increasingly recognized. The Charter of the University calls
for UPEACE “to contribute to the great universal task of
educating for peace by engaging in teaching, research,
post-graduate training and dissemination of knowledge
fundamental to the full development of the human person and
societies through the interdisciplinary study of all matters
related to peace”. Funding of UPEACE programmes comes
from the support of a number of donor governments,
foundations and institutions who believe in the mission of
the University. Fundraising for an endowment fund is in
progress. The vision of UPEACE is to become a network of
collaborating UPEACE centres and activities in different
regions, guided from its headquarters in Costa Rica and
cooperating with a large number of universities, NGOs and
other partners on education and research for peace.

Kand
The end of the cold war has created a series of tentative attempts to
define "a new world order". So far, the only certainty is that the international
community has entered a period of tremendous global transition that, at least
for the time being, has created more social problems than solutions.
The end of super-power rivalry, and the growing North/South disparity in
wealth and access to resources, coincide with an alarming increase in violence,
poverty and unemployment, homelessness, displaced persons and the erosion of
environmental stability. The world has also witnessed one of the most severe
global economic recessions since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
At the same time, previously isolated peoples are being brought together
voluntarily and involuntarily by the increasing integration of markets, the
emergence of new regional political alliances, and remarkable advances in
telecommunications, biotechnology and transportation that have prompted
unprecedented demographic shifts.
The resulting confluence of peoples and cultures is an increasingly global,
multicultural world brimming with tension, confusion and conflict in the process
of its adjustment to pluralism. There is an understandable urge to return to old
conventions, traditional cultures, fundamental values, and the familiar,
seemingly secure, sense of one's identity. Without a secure sense of identity
amidst the turmoil of transition, people may resort to isolationism,
ethnocentricism and intolerance. This climate of change and acute vulnerability raises new challenges to our
ongoing pursuit of universal human rights. How can human rights be reconciled
with the clash of cultures that has come to characterize our time? Cultural
background is one of the primary sources of identity. It is the source for a
great deal of self-definition, expression, and sense of group belonging. As
cultures interact and intermix, cultural identities change. This process can be
enriching, but disorienting. The current insecurity of cultural identity
reflects fundamental changes in how we define and express who we are today.

addiction to fossil fuels, shifting government funding to
rebuild our communities, and going green with new jobs in a
clean energy economy . These issues have never been more
connected. The burning of fossil fuels like oil and coal is
the major cause of climate change and foreign resource wars
such as the Iraq war, and in turn the effects of climate
change will only cause more violence as people fight over
dwindling resources. This addiction to carbon-based fossil
fuels is increasingly compromising our national security,
melting the icecaps, raising sea levels, destroying
Indigenous land, cultures and peoples and fueling extreme
climate events like Hurricane Katrina world-wide. Visit

TUNZA North East Asia Youth Environment Network |
http://www.unep.org/tunza/youth/About_Tunza/index.asp
|
In February 2003, the Governing Council of UNEP adopted a long-term
strategy for engaging young people in environmental activities and in
the work of UNEP. The strategy was entitled the TUNZA Youth Strategy.
The word “TUNZA” means “to treat with care or affection” in Kiswahili (a
sub-regional language of Eastern Africa). The overall TUNZA Concept,
therefore, is built around this theme. It is an initiative that is meant
to develop activities in the areas of capacity building, environmental
awareness, and information exchange, with a vision to foster a
generation of environmentally conscious citizens, capable of positive
action.
