SUMMARY:World Lake Day
DESCRIPTION:Lakes: the lifeblood of our planet\nLakes are one of the most vital natural resources on our planet. They serve as a crucial source of fresh water\, supporting drinking water supplies\, agriculture\, and industry. \nLakes also play a key role in maintaining biodiversity\, offering a habitat for countless species of fish\, plants\, and wildlife. \nBeyond their ecological significance\, lakes contribute to climate regulation by keeping the planet cool\, absorbing the floodwater and storing carbon. \nAdditionally\, they provide recreational and economic opportunities\, attracting tourism\, fishing\, and other activities that support local communities. \nBut lakes are affected by a combination of overuse\, pollution and climate change. Lake pollution is frequently caused by inflows from fertilizers\, contaminants and solid waste being dumped directly\, or flushed into lakes via rivers\, and this is worsened by global warming – leading\, for instance\, to more frequent and intense floods. \nThe water levels of lakes are also changing dramatically. Rising temperatures and changes to cloud cover\, which are leading to decreasing ice cover\, are increasing the rate of water evaporation. \nWe need to act now. \nThis first World Lake Day\, let’s be aware of the problem lakes are facing. \nLet’s protect them today for a sustaining life tomorrow. \n\nDid you know?\n\n\n\nNatural and artificial lakes contain more than 90% of the fresh water on the surface of the Earth.\nUp to 80 % of global wastewater is estimated to enter water bodies untreated with adverse impacts on human and ecosystem health.\nRain washes the nutrients in fertilizer into waterways and lakes which can lead to damaging algal blooms\, which are predicted to increase by at least 20% by 2050.\nIn half the world’s countries one or more types of freshwater ecosystems are degraded\, including rivers\, lakes and aquifers.

SUMMARY:International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples
DESCRIPTION:Indigenous Peoples and AI: Defending Rights\, Shaping Futures\nWhile AI can support cultural revitalization\, youth empowerment\, and even adaptation to climate chance\, it often reinforces bias\, exclusion\, and misrepresentation towards Indigenous Peoples. \nMost AI systems are built without Indigenous input\, risking the misuse of their data\, knowledge\, and identities. \nBesides\, massive data centers can also impact Indigenous lands\, resources\, and ecosystems. This is a new issue added to the barriers to accessing new technologies\, especially in rural areas\, excluding Indigenous from full participation in AI-related processes. \nTo unlock AI’s full potential\, Indigenous Peoples must be respected as rights-holders\, co-creators\, and decision-makers. Meaningful inclusion\, data sovereignty\, and culturally grounded innovation are key to ensuring AI empowers their communities. \nThe upcoming International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples will put a spotlight on this through its theme\, Indigenous Peoples and AI: Defending Rights\, Shaping Futures. \nSpread the word! Let’s leave no one behind. #IndigenousPeoples \n\nWe need indigenous communities for a better world\nThere are an estimated 476 million Indigenous Peoples in the world living across 90 countries. They make up less than 6 per cent of the world’s population\, but account for at least 15 per cent of the poorest. They speak an overwhelming majority of the world’s estimated 7\,000 languages and represent 5\,000 different cultures. \nIndigenous Peoples are inheritors and practitioners of unique cultures and ways of relating to people and the environment. They have retained social\, cultural\, economic and political characteristics that are distinct from those of the dominant societies in which they live. Despite their cultural differences\, Indigenous Peoples from around the world share common problems related to the protection of their rights as distinct peoples. \nIndigenous Peoples have sought recognition of their identities\, their way of life and their right to traditional lands\, territories and natural resources for years. Yet\, throughout history\, their rights have been violated. Indigenous Peoples today\, are arguably among the most disadvantaged and vulnerable groups of people in the world. The international community now recognizes that special measures are required to protect their rights and maintain their distinct cultures and way of life. \nIn order to raise awareness of the needs of these population groups\, every 9 August commemorates the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples\, chosen in recognition of the first meeting of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations held in Geneva in 1982.
