Climate Equality: A Planet for the 99% Year of publication: 2023 Author: Ashfaq Khalfan | Astrid Nilsson Lewis | Carlos Aguilar | Max Lawson | Safa Jayoussi | Jacqueline Persson | Nafkote Dabi | Sunil Acharya Corporate author: Oxfam International The world faces twin crises of climate breakdown and runaway inequality. The richest people, corporations and countries are destroying the world with their huge carbon emissions. Meanwhile, people living in poverty, those experiencing marginalization, and countries in the Global South are those impacted the hardest. Women and girls, Indigenous Peoples, people living in poverty and other groups experiencing discrimination are particularly at a disadvantage. The consequences of climate breakdown are felt in all parts of the world and by most people, yet only the richest people and countries have the wealth, power and influence to protect themselves. With that power comes huge responsibility.If no action is taken, the richest will continue to burn through the carbon we have left to use while keeping the global temperature below the safe limit of 1.5°C, destroying any chance of ending poverty and ensuring equality. The world needs an equal transformation. Only a radical reduction in inequality, transformative climate action and fundamentally shifting our economic goals as a society can save our planet while ensuring wellbeing for all.

A Gender-Responsive Communication Guide; Rethinking Communication Year of publication: 2021 Author: Gökçe Bayrakçeken Tüzel | İdil Safiye Soyseçkin Ceylan | Deniz Şilliler Tapan | Kıvanç Özvardar Corporate author: United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Language is a mechanism, a tool, that influences thoughts, shapes gender roles and therefore carries a great potential for establishing gender equality in societies. It shows how we perceive life and also determines it. Language plays an important role in the formation of our thoughts and behaviors, hence the construction of our reality about gender. As UNDP Turkey, we ground on gender equality and women’s empowerment principles in all of our programs and interventions, within the institution and in all forms of communication with our partners. The reason we prepared this guide is to determine the ways to have a gender responsive approach when communicating both in the office and with the institutions, organizations, and individuals we work with.The language we use begins to take shape from the moment we are born. It is kneaded within the norms, thoughts, and actions of the society we live in and becomes a set of rules that we unconsciously internalize. Therefore, we often use a sexist language even without realizing and thus reproduce it at every turn.Based on the idea that transformation begins with awareness, this guide offers a stimulating path to the limits of our language, demonstrates how it reproduces gender inequality, and offers ways for changing this.We believe that gender responsive communication is a sign of commitment to gender equality for any country, community or institution. Therefore, we invite you to become the transformation itself by following this sign.We would like to thank you in advance for your interest and dedication to using a gender responsive language and hope that this guide will help us on the way to become a gender-equal society. 
Citizenship and Culture of Peace in Educational Reform Year of publication: 2005 Author: Raúl Zepeda López, María del Rosario Toj, Edgar Florencio Montúfar Corporate author: UNESCO The concern raised by the themes and contents of civic education and the culture of peace in childhood and youth are issues that are felt in various academic sectors, in social organizations and educational authorities that sometimes translate into articles in the media, where, among other things, one speaks of "the loss of values", generally having as reference to the young generations and making invisible that this loss is mainly present in the adult generations, which are responsible for this situation. These concerns, in spite of that conscious ambiguity, are not gratuitous. They can be a starting point to become aware of the need to develop new capacities and values, the absence of which young Latin Americans identify in their political and social leaders, as has been pointed out in cited studies, carried out by UNICEF for Latin America and for Beatriz de Cazali for Guatemala. The need to respond to this concern is also present in the participants in the dialogues and municipal consensus (2000), as well as among authorities and curriculum developers of MINEDUC in the last five-years. 
The Challenges to Build Citizenship: Media as a Platform for Dialogue Year of publication: 2010 Author: Claudia Lagos Corporate author: Universidad de Chile The OREALC / UNESCO Santiago and the UNESCO National Commission, the Regional Delegation for Cooperation in the Southern Cone and Brazil, the French Embassy in Chile, the Freedom of Expression Program of the Institute of Communication and Image of the University of Chile and the UNESCO Chair "Media and citizen participation" of the Universidad Diego Portales, commemorated the World Day for Press Freedom 2009 with the seminar "The challenges to build citizenship. Media as a platform for dialogue ", held on May 5, 2009 at the Central House of the University of Chile. The meeting, with national and international guests, made it possible to reflect on and discuss the main issues -although not the only ones- that are currently in the hands of issues related to the promotion of pluralism and diversity; the challenges for journalism and the media in a context of high technological renewal and economic crisis; the lines of work in the matter for the design and execution of public policies, and research in communication. This publication collects the presentations of the speakers during the Seminar, as well as leaves testimony of the commitments assumed by the presidential candidates that we hope will become an agenda not only for the 2010-2014 administration, but also for the political sectors that represent each one of those who signed the document.

This revised edition of The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and its Optional Protocol: Handbook for Parliamentarians is a joint collaboration undertaken by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
