Training trainers has been one of the core activities of UNITAR when it comes to individual and institutional capacity building.

Food systems are simultaneously a leading cause of environmental degradation and depletion of natural resources. Currently, food systems are responsible for a significant 20 percent of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and are a major driver of land conversion, deforestation and loss of biodiversity. With the world’s population predicted to expand to 9.7 billion individuals by 2050, these environmental impacts do not make current food systems sustainable. According to the most recent report published in 2019 by The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC):

In a world where more data are generated in one year than over decades before, its value to informing important policies and decisions aimed at the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is ever more important. The surge in data presents both significant opportunities for generating much needed evidence, as well as new challenges as the spread of fake news increasingly threatens the very foundations of our societies. Against this backdrop, UNITAR’s Strategic Implementation of the 2030 Agenda Unit (SI Agenda 2030) has teamed up with UN Statistics Division...
Thanks to the Memorandum of Understanding signed between UNESCO and UNITAR in 2015, and building on our previous two reports on damage to archeological sites in Syria (2014) and in Syria, Iraq, Nepal, and Yemen (2015), satellite imagery analysis is now a routine tool for assessing potential damage to cultural heritage sites.
The complementary roles of UNESCO and UNITAR-UNOSAT are important as they ensure an objective UN assessment of the status of cultural heritage, free from political bias and founded on scientific methods. This comprehensive study has revealed significan...
