SUMMARY:Unitive Cluster HLPF Side event
DESCRIPTION:The Power of Vision: Advancing integrated and Interconnected Development\nA transformative vision allows development efforts to move beyond short-term solutions toward meaningful\, long-term impact. At its core\, development is about people. Lasting progress depends on human transformation—shifts in consciousness\, values\, attitudes\, and behaviors that support shared well-being. Equally important is integrating the natural world into all development efforts\, ensuring flourishing is an embedded value rather than an afterthought. This approach is grounded in a unitive perspective\, recognizing the indivisibility of economic\, social\, and environmental goals. \nThis interactive hybrid session will explore the power of shared vision\, which ultimately fosters a sense of common destiny\, a strong basis for SDG 17 since it supports collaboration over competition as well as inclusive\, equitable development of cultures that leave no one behind. \nSpeakers:\nAlfredo Sfeir Younis\, Former Director of World Bank\, Environmental Economist \nYoussef Mahmoud\, Former UN Under Secretary General \nAudrey Kitagawa\, Founder\, International Academy for Multicultural Cooperation \nRegister: https://bit.ly/hlpfvision

SUMMARY:Weekly Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Tonight’s meditation will be dedicated to “International Day of Peace” which will be celebrated on September 21. \n“Peace is not just made at conference tables\, but in classrooms\, neighbourhoods\, and everywhere people meet with open minds and open hearts. Together\, day by day\, we can build a more just world\, with compassion\, equality and dignity for all”. – UN Secretary-General António Guterres“Peace is more than the absence of war; it is the foundation necessary to collectively tackle humanity’s challenges. It is the lived experience of safety\, dignity\, opportunities and cooperation in our daily lives. \nUnder the theme Invest in Peace: For Everyone\, Everywhere\, Every Day\, this year’s International Day of Peace honors the ‘everyday architects of peace’—people driving local action\, laying the groundwork for stability\, and building a lasting peace from the ground up.” — UN Website \n\n\n\nTake one small step for peace every day: \n\nGive your time to help someone else.\nLend your voice to drive positive change.\nHost a Peace Circle – an intergeneration youth-led conversation on solutions.\nUse your platform to promote a cause or tell a story of peace and hope\n\n\n\nIn-person attendance:\n\n\n\n\nBrahma Kumaris Office at the UN\n866 UN Plaza\, Suite 436\nNY\, NY 10017\nRSVP mandatory: info@un.brahmakumaris.org\n\nOnline participation: https://bit.ly/weeklymed

SUMMARY:Weekly Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Tonight’s meditation will be dedicated to “International Day of Awareness on Food Loss and Waste Reduction” which will be celebrated on September 29. \n“Food loss and waste undermine the sustainability of our food systems. When food is lost or wasted\, all the resources that were used to produce this food – including water\, land\, energy\, labour and capital – go to waste. In addition\, the disposal of food loss and waste in landfills\, leads to greenhouse gas emissions\, contributing to climate change. Food loss and waste can also negatively impact food security and food availability\, and contribute to increasing the cost of food.” — UN Website \n\n\n\nIn-person attendance:\n\n\n\n\nBrahma Kumaris Office at the UN\n866 UN Plaza\, Suite 436\nNY\, NY 10017\nRSVP mandatory: info@un.brahmakumaris.org\n\nOnline participation: https://bit.ly/weeklymed
