Since the early days of the United Nations system, the UN has
established a set of Days and Weeks, Years and Decades to help
focus the world on the issues in which the UN has an interest
and commitment. The UN calls on Member States and other
organizations to mark these days in ways which reflect their
priorities. You can see the full list here. Here are UNA-GB, we
strive to educate the Boston community about what is going on
globally, as well as make the local connections. See below a
list of past blog entries which detail out the meaning behind
some of these UN Recognition Days/Weeks, as well as share how
the greater Boston community has and can celebrate and
participate. Learn more also about the global issues making
headlines here. Make sure to stay tuned to our blog and Facebook
