Elon&nbsp;Musk, the world's wealthiest man is challenging the United Nations to prove that a one-time give away from the world's uber-rich can solve the world's hunger problem.&nbsp;Musk who is now worth over $300 billion, was responding to comments by David Beasley, director of the UN&rsquo;s World Food Programme, who&nbsp;repeated&nbsp;a call last week following an earlier&nbsp;tweet&nbsp;this month asking billionaires like Musk to &ldquo;step up now, on a one-time basis.&rdquo;&nbsp;Beasley specifically called for action from Musk and Amazon.com co-founder Jeff Bezos, the two men atop the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Just $6 billion could keep 42 million people from dying, Beasley said.Musk whose wealth swelled by over $9 billion dollars on just Friday challenged this notion on Twitter. The technoking&nbsp;tweeted "If the World Food Programme can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, "I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it. But it must be open source accounting, so the public sees precisely how the money is spent.&rdquo;

United Nations Day 2021: Building Back Together for Peace and Prosperity

Observed on 24th October each year, United Nations Day commemorates the day in 1945 when the United Nations Charter came into effect.

United Nations Day 2021: Observed on 24th October each year, United Nations Day commemorates the day in 1945 when the United Nations Charter came into effect.&nbsp;Representatives from 50 countries convened in San Francisco to draw the United Nations Charter at the United Nations Conference on International Organization.
Since its establishment, the charter has been&nbsp;amended three times&nbsp;in 1963, 1965, and 1973. The day works towards restating and amplifying the&nbsp;UN Charter's goals and ideologies.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The UN charter holds within itself a very unique international character and powers due to which they can take action on a wide variety of issues.&nbsp;As a result, the UN Charter is an instrument of international law, and all UN Member States are obligated to follow it.
As the world slowly works towards recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic, United Nations Day 2021 is rallying a cry for international collaboration for peace and prosperity for all.&nbsp;

US President Joe Biden, in his first speech at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, will make it clear that the United States is not looking to pursue a "new Cold War" with any country, the White House has said.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked about United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres recent remarks where he asked the US and China to repair their relationship to avoid a potential Cold War.
"The president's and this administration's view is that our relationship with China is one not of conflict but of competition. So, we wouldn't agree with the characterization of the relationship, Psaki said.
Guterres had stated that the US and China should cooperate on climate and negotiate on trade and technology despite persisting political fissures about human rights, economics, online security and sovereignty in the South China Sea.
"Tomorrow, the president will deliver a speech at the UN General Assembly. He will make it absolutely clear that he is not looking to pursue in future a new Cold War with any country. We will continue to pursue our interests. We will continue to lift global priorities, but that is not the objective or the policy of the United States," the White House said.

Weather disasters are striking the world four to five times more often and causing seven times more damage than in the 1970s, the United Nations weather agency reports.
But these disasters are killing far fewer people. In the 1970s and 1980s, they killed an average of about 170 people a day worldwide. In the 2010s, that dropped to about 40 per day, the World Meteorological Organisation said in a report Wednesday that looks at more than 11,000 weather disasters in the past half-century.
The report comes during a disaster-filled summer globally, including deadly floods in Germany and a heat wave in the Mediterranean, and with the United States simultaneously struck by powerful Hurricane Ida and an onslaught of drought-worsened wildfires.
&ldquo;The good news is that we have been able to minimise the amount of casualties once we have started having growing amount of disasters: heatwaves, flooding events, drought, and especially...intense tropical storms like Ida, which has been hitting recently Louisiana and Mississippi in the United States,&rdquo; Petteri Taalas, WMO's secretary-general, told a news conference.
&ldquo;But the bad news is that the economic losses have been growing very rapidly and this growth is supposed to continue," he added. "We are going to see more climatic extremes because of climate change, and these negative trends in climate will continue for the coming decades.&rdquo; In the 1970s, the world averaged about 711 weather disasters a year, but from 2000 to 2009 that was up to 3,536 a year or nearly 10 a day, according to the report, which used data from the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters in Belgium. The average number of yearly disasters dropped a bit in the 2010s to 3,165, the report said.
Most death and damage during 50 years of weather disasters came from storms, flooding and drought.
More than 90% of the more than 2 million deaths are in what the UN considers developing nations, while nearly 60% of the economic damage occurred in richer countries.
In the 1970s, weather disasters cost about $175 billion globally, when adjusted to 2019 dollars, the UN found. That increased to $1.38 trillion for the period from 2010 to 2019.
What's driving the destruction is that more people are moving into dangerous areas as climate change is making weather disasters stronger and more frequent, UN disaster and weather officials said. Meanwhile, experts said, better weather warnings and preparedness are lessening the death toll.
Susan Cutter, director of the Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute at the University of South Carolina, noted progress in learning to live with risk and protecting ourselves.
&ldquo;On the other hand, we're still making stupid decisions about where we're putting our infrastructure," she said. "But it's OK. We're not losing lives, we're just losing stuff." Samantha Montano, an emergency management professor at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy and author of the book &ldquo;Disasterology,&rdquo; said she worries that death tolls may stop decreasing because of the increase in extreme weather from climate change especially hitting poorer nations.
&ldquo;The disparity in which countries have had the resources to dedicate to minimising disaster deaths is of huge concern," particularly due to climate change, she said.
Hurricane Ida is a good example of heavy damage and what will probably be less loss of life than past major hurricanes, Cutter said. This year, she added, weather disasters &ldquo;seem to be coming every couple weeks,&rdquo; with Ida, US wildfires and floods in Germany, China and Tennessee.
The five most expensive weather disasters since 1970 were all storms in the United States, topped by 2005's Hurricane Katrina. The five deadliest weather disasters were in Africa and Asia - topped by the Ethiopian drought and famine in the mid 1980s and Cyclone Bhola in Bangladesh in 1970.

The U.N. climate panel has released its most comprehensive assessment yet and the future looks very very bleak.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has point blank said that humans are causing climate change, with the first line of its report summary reading: "It is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land."
The report adds, that even with the severest of cuts, countries will not be able to prevent global warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial temperatures. Weather extremes once considered rare or unprecedented are becoming more common -- a trend that will continue even if the world limits global warming to 1.5C.
Severe heat waves that happened only once every 50 years are now happening roughly once a decade. Tropical cyclones are getting stronger. Most land areas are seeing more rain or snow fall in a year. Severe droughts are happening 1.7 times as often. And wildfires will get longer and more intense.
Summertime sea ice atop the Arctic Ocean will vanish entirely at least once by 2050, under the IPCC's most optimistic scenario. The region is the fastest-warming area of the globe - warming at least twice as fast as the global average.
Sea levels are sure to keep rising for hundreds or thousands of years. Even if global warming were halted at 1.5C, the average sea level would still rise about 2 to 3 meters (6 to 10 feet), and maybe more.
The UN has said that the report is a reality check and provides world leaders with a summary of the climate change crisis ahead of COP26, in early November.
U.N. Secretary-General, Ant&oacute;nio Guterres has said, that the report is a code red for humanity, adding that alarm bells are deafening, and the evidence is irrefutable.

UN climate change report is 'code red for humanity': here are the key takeaways

Climate changes are inevitable and irreversible, says UN panel in stark report on climate change, calling it 'a code red for humanity', here are the key takeaways

The report provides evidence that 'unless there are immediate, rapid and large-scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, limiting warming to close to 1.5 degrees or even 2 degrees will be beyond reach'.

Observed on 9th August, the International Day of the World’s Indigenous People aims at encouraging the protection and promotion of the rights of indigenous people.

International Day of World’s Indigenous Peoples: Leaving no one behind

Observed on 9th August every year, the International Day of the World&rsquo;s Indigenous People&nbsp;aims at creating awareness and encouraging the protection and promotion of the rights of indigenous people.&nbsp;

Observed on 9th August every year, the International Day of the World&rsquo;s Indigenous People&nbsp;aims at creating awareness and encouraging the protection and promotion of the rights of indigenous people.&nbsp;

International Day of World&rsquo;s Indigenous Peoples 2021: As per the United Nations, there are around 476 million indigenous people living in 90 countries. This estimate accounts for 6.2 percent of the global population. Amongst them, while numerous indigenous groups are self-governing there are some who still find themselves under the ultimate control of an authoritative body.
Many indigenous communities are very often driven out of their lands, confronted with poverty and at times even subjected to marginalisation. A lot needs to be done before such groups with their unique heritage get wiped out from the pages of time.&nbsp;
Declared on 23rd December 1994 by the United Nations General Assembly, the International Day of the World&rsquo;s Indigenous People&nbsp;aims at creating awareness and encouraging the protection and promotion of the rights of indigenous people. Observed on 9th August every year, the day commemorates the first meeting of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations in 1982.
The need of the hour is to establish inclusion and participation of indigenous people in the constitution of a system that will provide both social and economic benefits. From this demand comes the 2021 theme, &ldquo;Leaving no one behind: Indigenous peoples and the call for a new social contract.&rdquo;
But what is a social contract? A Social contract is an unwritten agreement aimed at creating equal opportunities and socio-economic benefits for societies.&nbsp;A new social contract must be framed in such a way that it helps foster equal opportunities and ensures the rights, dignity and freedoms of all.

'Share Drug Facts to Save Lives' is the theme of the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking this year. The focus is to curb the spread of misinformation on the topic and to encourage the exchange of facts related to drugs.
According to the 2021 report of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), around 275 million people used drugs worldwide last year during Covid-19 pandemic, up by 22% from 2010.
During the coronavirus pandemic, there has been a rise in the use of cannabis in most countries. Increased non-medical use of pharmaceutical sedatives has been observed in this period.
The UN report adds, when it comes to disease-linked to drug abuse, Opioids continue to be the biggest contributor. Socio-economic stressors have accelerated the demand for use of drugs. The report said, 13% of the total number of people who use drugs, i.e. 36.3 million people, suffer from disorders linked to drug abuse.
As per latest estimates, around 5.5% of the world population aged between 5 to 64 have used drugs at least once in the last year.

India is facing one of its most serious water crises. According to the NITI Aayog's Composite Water Management Index (CWMI) 2018, 21 Indian cities could face Day Zero in the coming years.
Day Zero refers to the day when a place is likely to have no drinking water of its own. Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi and Hyderabad are among the most susceptible.&nbsp;The report also said that 75% of Indian households do not have drinking water on premise and about 84 per cent rural households do not have piped water access.&nbsp;Water is not properly distributed where it is supplied through pipes. Mega cities like Delhi and Mumbai get more than the standard municipal water norm of 150 litres per capita per day (LPCD) while others get 40-50 LPCD.&nbsp;The World Health Organization prescribes 25 litres of water for one person per day to meet all basic hygiene and food needs. Extra available water, according to WHO estimates, is used for non-potable purposes like mopping and cleaning.

She cited the coronavirus pandemic for her absence at the summit, and urged world leaders&nbsp;to postpone the event.
She further said that the UK government, which is hosting the summit, should wait until global vaccination rates have risen so that everyone can take part in the summit at the same time.

A staggering 17% of food available to consumers, which is about&nbsp; 931 million tonnes was wasted in 2019, a new report by the United Nations says.
The UN report says&nbsp;majority of the wasted food, that is about 61% came from households, 26% was wasted by the food service industry, while retail contributed to 13% of the wastage.
The report also noted that food wastage is not limited to developed countries like the United States or the United Kingdom.&nbsp;Many countries have not yet quantified their food waste, so they don't understand the magnitude of the problem.
South Asia is no better. In India, 50 kg of food per person per year goes to waste, 82 kg per person is wasted in Afghanistan and 79 kg per person is wasted in Nepal.

The 4th of January is commemorated as World Braille Day every year. It marks the birth anniversary of Louis Braille, the French educator who invented Braille, a reading and writing system for the visually impaired and blind persons. The day seeks to raise awareness on the importance of enhancing access to the blind by producing works in Braille and and raising awareness on the issues faced by them. The Covid-19 pandemic spelt a major blow for the visually impaired community, and specially for those who rely on touch to access information and communicate, the United Nations said. It urged the need to enhance accessibility to ensure inclusion of all persons.

World Braille Day: a need for greater access for the visually impaired

It urged the need to enhance accessibility to ensure inclusion of all persons.

This&nbsp;year&nbsp;marks the 75th anniversary of&nbsp;United&nbsp;Nation's&nbsp;World Food Day,&nbsp;and,&nbsp;as&nbsp;countries&nbsp;continue&nbsp;to grapple with the Covid-19 pandemic, the realization&nbsp;of access to safe and nutritious food for all has become more acute.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;India, which is one of the biggest food producers in the world, ironically is also home to the largest population of hungry people.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Despite astounding industrial and economic growth,&nbsp;particularly after the liberalization in early 1990s,&nbsp;India has a grim rating of 102&nbsp;among 117 nations&nbsp;on the Global Hunger Index.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The United Nations&nbsp;Food and Agriculture Organization&nbsp;estimates that&nbsp;14% of India's population or&nbsp;189.2 mn people are undernourished.&nbsp;The global agriculture body&nbsp;notes that&nbsp;in India&nbsp;34.7% of children under&nbsp;the age of&nbsp;five are stunted or too short for their age and 20% weigh too low for their height.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The hunger isn&rsquo;t due to lack of food but&nbsp;astonishingly&nbsp;due to&nbsp;the wastage of food. Hard to believe is the fact that&nbsp;nearly one-third of the food produced in the world gets wasted every year.&nbsp;
In India&nbsp;40% of fruits and vegetables and 30% of cereals produced for consumption are lost due to ineffective supply chain management each&nbsp;year.&nbsp;&nbsp;Starvation accounts for most deaths in the world after cancer and&nbsp;AIDS.&nbsp;In India alone, 7,000 people die every day of hunger and 25 lakhs&nbsp;die every year.&nbsp;&nbsp;As Covid-19 pandemic continues to alter our lifestyles, the fight against hunger has lost steam.&nbsp;A&nbsp;nationwide lockdown announced in March to curb&nbsp;the deadly virus&nbsp;brought&nbsp;India's already fragile and fragmented food supply chain to a screeching halt&nbsp;for months.&nbsp;
With&nbsp;labour&nbsp;shortage, logistical constraints and partial lockdowns&nbsp;amplifying the already strained food market and the poverty-stricken farmers, hunger remains one of the biggest problem amid the pandemic&nbsp;in world&rsquo;s largest food producing nation.&nbsp;

How Covid-19 pandemic has complicated India's fight against hunger

2020 marks the 75th anniversary of UN's&nbsp;World Food Day, highlighting access to safe and nutritious food&nbsp;as an essential part of our response to Covid-19.&nbsp; &nbsp;
One of the biggest food producers in the world, India is ironically enough, home to the largest population of hungry people in the world.&nbsp;
The nation ranks 102nd among 117 countries on the Global Hunger Index. Despite industrial and economic growth, the nation fails to feed its citizens.&nbsp;According to FAO estimates, 14% of India's population or&nbsp;189.2mn people are undernourished.&nbsp;Further, 34.7% of children under five in India are stunted or too short for their age and 20% weigh too low for their height.&nbsp;
In a grave contrast, nearly one-third of the food produced in the world gets wasted every year. 40% of fruits and vegetables and 30% of cereals produced for consumption in India are lost due to ineffective supply chain management every year.
The problem of hunger is dangerous, it remains the biggest cause of death in the world, followed by cancer and AIDS. In India alone, 7,000 people die every day of hunger and 25 lakh&nbsp;die every year.
And things could get much, much worse this year.&nbsp;The nationwide lockdown announced in March to curb Covid-19&nbsp;brought&nbsp;India's already fragile and fragmented food supply chain to a screeching halt.
Labour shortage, misinformation, logistical constraints and partial lockdowns&nbsp;are amplifying the already strained food market and the poverty-stricken farmers.
For the world's biggest democracy, hunger remains the biggest problem amid the pandemic.&nbsp;
