Event Invitation
Report Launch: Commission on Global Security, Justice and Governance

The United Nations University cordially invites you to attend the launch of the report of the Commission on Global Security, Justice and Governance. This event will start at 6:30 p.m. on 3 December at UNU Headquarters in Tokyo.
The Commission, which was co-chaired by former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and former Nigerian Foreign Minister Professor Ibrahim Gambari and included a dozen other eminent statespersons and intellectuals from around the world, released its report Confronting the Crisis of Global Governance ahead of the United Nations’ 70th Anniversary Summit, with a launch event in The Hague in June 2015.
The report features a focused set of global policy and institutional reform recommendations for collective action on critical issues such as state fragility, the global economy, and the effects of climate change. Most notably, the report highlights the interconnected nature of these global threats, suggesting that the capacity of the current global governance institutions to respond to these challenges has been exceeded.
UNU Rector David M. Malone will moderate a panel of speakers including the Japanese member of the Commission, former Minister for the Environment and for Foreign Affairs, Ms Yoriko Kawaguchi; the Japanese Foreign Policy Bureau’s Ambassador in charge of UN Affairs and Cyber Policy, Mr. Makita Shimokawa; and UNU-CPR Director Mr Sebastian von Einsiedel, who will be discussing the key findings of the report. This will be followed by an interactive session with questions from the audience.
A buffet reception will follow the event, where all audience members are invited to enjoy the food and drinks that will be served while exchanging ideas and making new contacts.
Please note that this event will be in English only; Japanese interpretation will not be provided. Advance registration (by 2 December) is required. Please click on the REGISTER button or the link below to access the online registration page.

Dear all,
It is with huge sadness that we have to inform you that Matthieu Giroud,
French critical geographer, keen analyst of cities (especially of Grenoble
and Lisbon), co-editor of the first French reader of critical urban studies,
translator of David Harvey, and Associate Prof at UPEM, was killed at the
Bataclan during the Paris attacks.
Matthieu loved music, soccer, cities, life and friendship.
We miss him already and mourn.
He will remain an inspiration.

Event Invitation
UNU Conversation Series: “Saving More People from the Scourge of War?”
DATE:
|
27 November 2015 (Friday) from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM (a reception/buffet will follow)
|
VENUE:
|
Reception Room, 2nd Floor, UN University Headquarters, Tokyo
|

The United Nations University cordially invites you to attend “Saving More People from the Scourge of War?”, a conversation with Mr Edward Mortimer, Distinguished Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford. This event will start at 6:30 p.m. on 27 November at UNU Headquarters in Tokyo.
In June 1945 the founders of the United Nations proclaimed their determination, in the opening words of its Charter, “to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war”, which twice in their lifetime had brought “untold sorrow to mankind” (and that was before atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki: few if any of those present in San Francisco, when those solemn words were first read out, were even aware that such terrible weapons existed).
Edward Mortimer will join UNU Rector David M. Malone for a conversation exploring how far, in the last seven decades, the world organisation has fulfilled the hope thus placed in it, and how it might do better in the next 70 years, especially in light of the dramatic diplomatic failures to date to stem the fighting in Syria. As an adviser to The Elders ? a diverse and independent group of global leaders working to promote peace and human rights, currently chaired by Kofi Annan ? Mr Mortimer helped draft the proposals for strengthening the United Nations which they put forward at the beginning of this year.
The discussion will consider what chance these proposals have of being adopted and how far they or others could render the UN, and especially the Security Council, more effective in fulfilling its responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, and what alternatives may exist.
The UNU Conversation Series aims to foster audience participation: you are encouraged to engage with the speakers during the conversation and at the reception that will follow, where all audience members are invited to enjoy the food and drinks that will be served while exchanging ideas and making new contacts.
Please note that this event will be in English only; Japanese interpretation will not be provided. Advance registration (by 26 November) is required. Please click on the REGISTER button or the link below to access the online registration page.

Dear Mr. chairman, dear Mr. CA D.D. Agrawal,
On September 13, the International Council of Social Sciences, the
International Council for Science, and the International Council for
Philosophy and Human Sciences declared 2016 the International Year of Global
Understanding (IYGU) at the World Social Science Forum in Durban, South
Africa. For the first time in the history of science, the three major
international science organizations are engaging on a project on a global
level.
ICSU has 32 Scientific Union Members and 120 National Scientific Members
covering 140 countries. ISSC represents 15 Scientific Unions, 34 Member
Organizations, mainly national funding organizations, and 10 associate
members in more than 100 countries. CIPSH encompasses 12 Unions, represented
in 148 countries. In addition IYGU is part of the Future Earth initiative,
co-sponsored by ICSU, ISSC, UNESCO, UNEP, UNU and the Belmont Forum. IYGU
has access to this truly global network of scientific organizations.
The International Year of Global Understanding ? based on an initiative of
the International Geographical Union (IGU) ? recognizes that global social
and climate changes require a global level of understanding. It aims to
bridge the gap in awareness between local actions and global effects, as
well as provide information on culturally differentiated ways of reaching
global sustainability. The International Year of Global Understanding aims
to develop a blueprint for a new geographical view of the radically changing
world.
Specifically, the International Year of Global Understanding will address
the ways we live in an increasingly globalized world and the transformation
of nature from the perspective of global sustainability ? the objective the
IYGU wishes to achieve for the sake of future generations.
To achieve this objective, genuine transdisciplinary research is a
first-order necessity. We therefore need to overcome the established divides
between the natural, social, and human sciences. Natural and social
scientific knowledge has to be integrated with non-scientific and
non-Western forms of knowledge to develop a global competence framework. In
this context, effective solutions based on bottom-up decisions and actions
need to complement the existing top-down measures.
The key element of the bottom-up activities are the Regional Action Centers
(RACs), which, in their continental, regional, and national reach, will
organize IYGU-related activities in the framework of the UNESCO declaration
of November 2013. Please find attached the UNESCO resolution and the RACs’
specific action program, as well as the official press release by ICSU about
the proclamation and some statements of leading scientists and key persons
in the field of global sustainability policies.
I would like to invite you to host an IYGU Regional Action Center at CSR
Research Foundation for South Asia. It would with the global secretariat at
the Friedrich-Schiller-University of Jena (Germany).
My colleague Prof. R.B. Singh approached me and declared his interest in
becoming the coordinator of such a Regional Action Center. We would indeed
highly value CSR’s engagement in the global activities of the International
Year of global Understanding.
Hosting a RAC will certainly be an opportunity for the hosting institution
to enhance their visibility and public relations at the national level and
particularly at the continental and global level.
Looking forward to hearing from you and with my very best wishes,
Benno Werlen

Dear Colleagues
I am absolutely delighted to forward you the formal press release (in seven
languages- you may wish to forward the document in only one language of
course depending on to where you send it) regarding today’s announcement,
at the International Social Science Council meeting in Durban, that 2016 is
proclaimed as the International Year of Global Understanding. I should
appreciate your forwarding this to your national press and other media
contacts so that the important news can be spread as wide as possible. This
is a landmark day for the IGU - and an opportunity for us all to share the
positive messages that the concept of developing global thinking and turning
it into local action can bring about.
Congratulations to Professor Benno Werlen and colleagues who have worked so
hard in order to bring this about,
For convenience, I copy the English version of the press release (y)

2016 to be the International Year of Global Understanding (IYGU)
“Building bridges between global thinking and local action”
The International Council for Science (ICSU), the International Social
Science Council (ISSC) and International Council for Philosophy and Human
Sciences (CIPSH) jointly announced today that 2016 would be the
International Year of Global Understanding (IYGU). The aim of IYGU is to
promote better understanding of how the local impacts the global in order to
foster smart policies to tackle critical global challenges such as climate
change, food security and migration.
“We want to build bridges between global thinking and local action,” said
Prof. Benno Werlen of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany.
“Only when we truly understand the effects of our personal choices ? for
example in eating, drinking and producing ? on the planet, can we make
appropriate and effective changes,” said Werlen, who initiated this project
of the International Geographical Union (IGU).
How to translate scientific insight into more sustainable lifestyles will be
the main focus of activities ? research projects, educational programmes and
information campaigns ? for 2016. The project seeks to go beyond a narrow
focus on environmental protection and climate policy and explore quality of
life issues and the sustainable, long-term use of local resources.
“We live in the most interconnected world in history. Yet at the same time
that world is riven by conflicts, dislocations and uncertainties - an
unsettling and disturbing mixture of huge opportunities and existential
risks,” said Lord Anthony Giddens, former Director of the London School of
Economics, UK. “Finding a positive balance will demand fundamental
intellectual rethinking and new forms of collaboration of the sort the IGYU
offers” he added.
“Sustainable development is a global challenge, but solving it requires
transforming the local ? the way each of us lives, consumes, and works.
While global negotiations on climate attack the sustainability crisis from
above, the IYGU complements them beautifully with coordinated solutions from
below - by getting individuals to understand and change their everyday
habits. This twin approach elevates our chance of success against this
crisis, the gravest humanity has ever seen,” said former ICSU President and
Nobel Laureate Yuan-Tseh Lee.
For example, on each day in 2016, the IYGU will highlight a change to an
everyday activity that has been scientifically proven to be more sustainable
than current practice. Primers on everyday life which take cultural
diversity and local practice into account will be compiled and distributed.
“Now more than ever it is vital that we find the strength to understand and
relate to the positions, thoughts, and expectations of others and seek
dialogue instead of confrontation,” said Professor Klaus Töpfer, Executive
Director of the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS)
It is hoped that this focus on tangible, local action will generate ideas
for research programmes and school curricula, as well as highlight best
practice examples. Wherever possible, activities will be communicated in
several languages. Using this bottom-up approach, the IYGU hopes to support
and extend the work of initiatives such as Future Earth, the UN’s Post-2015
Development Agenda, and the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable
Development.
“In Rwanda, environmental pollution through plastic litter was a widespread
and intractable problem. Ultimately, the insight that plastic is harmful to
ruminant animals, in particular cows, turned the tide in favor of
environmental legislation. This led to a ban on plastic items that could
cause litter. Today you’d be hard pressed to find plastic polluting public
areas in Rwanda,” said Werlen.
The involvement of the ISSC, ICSU and CIPSH in IYGU underwrites broad
collaboration across the natural and social sciences and the humanities,
from across disciplinary boundaries and from all around the world.
In 2016, the IYGU program will be coordinated by about 50 Regional Action
Centers. This network is currently being established and cities such as
Tokyo . Washington, Sao Paulo, Tunis, Moscow, and Rome, while Beijing,
Mexico City, Maçao/Coimbra, Nijmegen, Hamilton, Bamako and Kigali are
confirmed as hoists of such Centers with their regional to continental
reach. The IYGU General Secretariat in Jena, Germany coordinates these
Regional Action Centers.
Further information on the International Year of Global Understanding is
available at www.global-understanding.info. Prof. Werlen is available for
further interviews upon request.

Dear all,
I hope this email finds you well, and my apologies for the long silence!
I’m pleased to announce, that next Sunday, September 13, the three
sciences councils (ICSU; ISSC and CIPSH) will proclaim at the World Social
Science Forum at Durban, South Africa, 2016 as the International Year of
Global Understanding. The session of proclamation is scheduled for 11:00
am -12:30 pm local time. A press release will also be issued at that time
and I will forward it to you (with translation into French, Chinese,
Spanisch, Portuguese and German) once it has become official, Sunday 9:00 am
UTC, 11:00 am CEST.
My thanks go once again to the presidents of the three science
organizations ( Gordon McBean (ICSU), Alberto Martinelli (ISSC), and Chao
Gejin (ICPHS) ) as well as to their Executive Directors Heide Hackmann
(ICSU) and Mathieu Denis (ISSC), and Secretary-General Luiz Oosterbeek
(CIPSH). They were all most helpful and their support was absolutely crucial
for getting plan B off the ground. The declaration in Durban will present
the first time that the three organizations jointly proclaim an
international year.
The background:
There have been a few ups and downs concerning the IYGU application’s
status at the UN in New York. For quite some time things were up in the air
and I had no definite information on the progress concerning the negotiation
of the IYGU draft resolution. Despite an intensive preparation on the
diplomatic side and the strong support assured, , including efforts by the
Association of American Geographers to mobilize U.S. representatives at the
UN since the AAG meeting in Chicago in April, the IYGU application remained
an object of conflict between the G77 and the Western European and Others
Group (WEOG) member states. I finally received a message on August 15 from
a representative of the Rwandan Permanent Mission saying that it is highly
unlikely that the draft resolution will be adopted in this or the next
session as there is still a lack of consensus among the member states
concerning the exact wording of the resolution.
Now, while these are certainly no good news from New York, this deadlock and
resulting problems weren’t entirely unforeseeable, which is why I started
developing a plan B in case the UN does not adopt the IYGU draft resolution.
In my last email to you from July 13 I already outlined the idea of having
an international year declared by the three global umbrella organizations of
the natural, social, and human sciences (ICSU, ISSC, and CIPSH) and attached
the letters from ICSU, ISSC and CIPSH. In addition I attach some highly
important statements that have been made for the press release.
The outlook:
There are further reasons to be optimistic about the unfolding of
possibilities in the context of the IYGU in 2016. My recent business trips
to Moscow and Rio de Janeiro resulted in the acquisition of new contacts and
the strengthening of existing ones; they will all be very helpful in further
promoting our project and advancing its objectives. There is a big chance
that IYGU could be mentioned in the opening ceremony of the Olympic games in
Rio de Janeiro. The IYGU also enjoys strong links with the Future Earth
program; the cooperation with UNESCO will be discussed in Durban; has
already several memorandums of understanding for environmental law and
transdiciplinary research and teaching cooperation; it is well set up to
start its international activities via its Regional Action Centers
throughout the world; and its opening will be celebrated in several
ceremonies throughout the world planned for early 2016. For all these
activities it would be great if we could continue our common efforts to make
IYGU a global and sustainable success!
With this positive outlook I thank you once again for your support and
crucial efforts in making this project happen.
Best wishes,
Benno

IYGU(International Year of Global Understanding) Ready to start action

Dear all,
I hope this email finds you well. I just wanted to update you on the latest
major developments concerning the International Year of Global Understanding
(IYGU) as you are involved in establishing IYGU’s Regional Action Centers
(RAC).
Rwanda’s Permanent Mission and other delegations to the UN in New York are
still doing their best to pursue our original plan of having the IYGU
proclaimed as a UN international year by the UN General Assembly. The U.S.
State Department is also seeing to our application has added its support,
which might increase the chances of our application being tabled for the
last session before the northern hemisphere summer holiday break commences
at the end of July. As increasingly more time elapses, however, the chances
of obtaining approval in time to hold the IYGU in 2016 are dwindling.
I didn’t want to risk loosing all the work that went into this project so
far ? you have all been putting your time and efforts into this in one way
or another ? and I’m convinced that the notions of Global Understanding and
Global Sustainability are as relevant as ever. I have therefore developed a
plan B that is in keeping with the IYGU’s transdisciplinary spirit.
The goal of having an international year on the notion of Global
Understanding remains and will be achieved with the help of the
International Council for Science (ICSU), the International Social Science
Council (ISSC), and the International Council for Philosophy and Humanistic
Studies (CIPSH). I’m very grateful that the presidents of these
organizations are supportive of the idea of proclaiming the IYGU as
“their” year, that is, the IYGU might not carry the UN label but ? if the
process in New York should fail ? that of ICSU, ISSC, CIPSH and UNESCO with
its full title being “International Year of Global Understanding (IYGU)
proclaimed by International Council for Science (ICSU), International Social
Science Council (ISSC), International Council for Philosophy and Human
Sciences (ICPHS)”.
At the end of last week the presidents and executive directors of these
three organizations ? Gordon McBean/Heide Hackmann (ICSU), Alberto
Martinelli (ISSC), and Chao Gejin/Luiz Oosterbeek (CIPSH) ? have all issued
a separate letters stating that the IYGU will be declared at the World
Social Science Forum 2015 in Durban (September 13-16). I will use these
letters in my fundraising efforts over the next months because it is crucial
for donors to know with certainty that the IYGU is going to happen. I would
suggest that you could do the same in your context.
Once again, let me I thank all of you for the many and varied contributions
you have made. I think its now the time to start the work of the Regional
Action Centers in your locality, hopefully with strong collaborations
between university, city, region, and country. I attach the aforementioned
three letters and the UNESCO Resolution in the hope that these will help you
in your lobbying efforts.
All in all we are ? despite the considerable delay in the application
process ? on a very good way to be able to celebrate the IYGU and its
achievements together in 2016. Chances are that the IYGU might closely
collaborate with the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and other parts of
Brazil, partnering up on issues around the International Olympic Committee’s
sustainability policy. Such a collaboration would be most helpful in raising
the visibility of the great work being done at the IYGU RAC’s across the
world. I will have a first meeting with the Local Organizing Committee in
Rio de Janeiro on September 2nd and will keep you posted on any further
developments.
Many thanks again for all your work and best wishes,
Benno
