A physical activity that is often referred to as “stand to” was carried out in the town of Pibor, which is located in the state of Jonglei. Those peacekeepers who were operating with the Indian military component of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) were the ones who carried out the exercise (file).
According to a senior official who released the statement on Tuesday, the transition to renewable energy in United Nations peacekeeping operations helps to protect the safety and security of uniformed individuals who are working in the field. This is according to the statement. This is what the statement claims to be the case.
At the opening ceremony of the 2023 United Nations Peacekeeping Ministerial Conference, which was held in Accra, Ghana, Under-Secretary-General Atul Khare gave a speech. The conference was held in Ghana. Ghana served as the host country for the summit that was held.
The conference, which takes place over the course of two days and is attended by participants from their individual countries, is attended by more than 85 nationalities that are represented at the conference. The discussions that took place on the first day of the summit focussed on the management of the environment during peacekeeping operations as well as the deployment of more women to serve under the insignia of the United Nations. Both of these topics were discussed in detail. A comprehensive conversation was had on each of these subjects.
Greater in terms of productivity while also causing less damage to the environment
While Mr. Khare was speaking at a side event on improving environmental management, he said that the shift to green energy in the field “is not just about environmental footprint.” He mentioned this while he was addressing the audience. The event was conducted concurrently with the main event that was taking place. He proceeded by stating that this modification helps to protect peacekeepers by reducing the need of carrying fuel on roadways that are dangerous. This is something that he mentioned in his following remark.
Additionally, operational resilience to surviving fuel shortages is enhanced, which means that missions are able to continue running key infrastructure even during times of crisis when fuel supplies are unable to be given. This is a significant improvement. There has been a substantial advancement here. The strengthened operational resilience is directly responsible for both of these benefits, which are a direct result of the upgrade.
Over the course of the last six years, Mr. Khare has served as the executive in charge of the Department of Operational Support. During this period of time, the department has been providing assistance to United Nations missions in the process of putting into effect a policy for the management of the environment. That role has been one that he has filled in his position as the head of the department.
A reduction in the quantity of fuel that is used, as well as an increase in the amount of recycling that is done
According to the report that he compiled on the work that has been done up to this point until now, there has been “a major jump” in the amount of rubbish that has been managed via recycling, composting, and burning. This is stated in the study. In accordance with the report that he compiled, this is the case. This percentage has considerably climbed from 19 percent to 65 percent during the last several years.
Furthermore, the quantity of fuel that is used by each individual on a daily basis for the purpose of producing power has decreased from 4.1 liters to 3.7 liters as compared to the previous year. This is a significant decrease. This represents a decrease in comparison to the prior year.
Despite the fact that this may seem to be a relatively little amount when seen as a per capita number, he said that in actuality, it is comparable to a reduction of around 40,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions or 15 million gallons of diesel per year. Despite the fact that it could seem to be a very little number, this is an accurate representation of the situation.
A significant number of countries are in accord with the strategy that has been proposed.
Additionally, Mr. Khare expressed his thanks to the states that have participated to the activities of the United states by deploying troops of the armed forces and officials from law enforcement organizations. In order to demonstrate his gratitude for the donations made by the countries, this action was brought about. These countries have stated their support for the strategy that is being taken to manage the environment in order to convey that they are pleased with the approach that is being done.
A system that makes use of renewable energy sources has recently been delivered by Pakistan to the United Nations mission in the Central African Republic, which is often referred to as MINUSCA. Bangladesh was the first nation to effectively establish a photovoltaic (PV) system, which is important in the field of solar energy. When seen in this light, Bangladesh was the country that began the process. Pakistan has just implemented a public speaking system, which has just been put into service.
