This year, the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty focus on Safe Homes for All.
In 2026, it calls for action in three key areas: making safe housing a human rights priority, designing policies together with people experiencing poverty, and mobilizing resources to ensure safe homes for all.
Let’s take an opportunity to reflect on access to safe, adequate housing around the world.

Today, we celebrate World Food Day. This year’s theme, “Innovate today. Nourish tomorrow,” invites us to reflect on how food reaches communities and, importantly, how innovation can help ensure access to nutritious food for everyone.
Days like today give us an opportunity to look beyond how food is distributed and explore new ideas, solutions, and approaches to help build a more sustainable future for communities around the world.
