The top news of the day at the UN and around the world: the situation in Sudan, fundraising for internally displaced persons, the report of the International Criminal Court, sustainable cooling technologies.
The situation in Sudan
Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Tom Fletcher arrived in Sudan. In Port Sudan, he met with representatives of the authorities, partner organizations, and the diplomatic community. The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs warns that the situation in North Darfur remains volatile. Although large-scale clashes have subsided, sporadic fighting and drone activity continue. Civilians face threats of looting, forced recruitment and gender-based violence.
Assistance to internally displaced persons
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) today launched its annual global fundraising campaign to assist displaced persons and returnees ahead of the winter months. The campaign's goal is to raise at least $35 million. The funds will be used to repair damaged homes, insulate shelters, provide heating and blankets for children and the elderly, and purchase medicines and hot meals. As UNHCR notes, freezing temperatures have already set in in Afghanistan, leaving thousands of families without adequate shelter. Ukraine is experiencing its fourth winter of full-scale war, with millions of residents increasingly in need of assistance.
ICC report
The annual report of the International Criminal Court (ICC), presented today to the UN General Assembly, emphasizes the need to strengthen cooperation with States and protect the Court's independence. ICC President Tomoko Akane stated that the Court continues to fulfill its mandate despite growing pressure. According to the report, during the reporting period, the Court issued 382 judgments, and significant progress was made in trials for crimes in Darfur, Libya, the Central African Republic, Afghanistan, Palestine, and the Philippines.
Sustainable cooling
Shifting to sustainable cooling methods could be key to protecting people and the planet from the effects of rising heat. Technologies such as passive, energy-efficient, and hybrid cooling with minimal energy consumption could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save up to $43 trillion, and protect 3 billion people from extreme temperatures, according to a new report from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) presented at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Belém, Brazil.
