Renovating UN Headquarters
The United Nations Headquarters in New York is undergoing an extensive refurbishment programme, also known as the Capital Master Plan (CMP). Built between 1950 and 1952, this icon of mid-century modern architecture is starting to show its age. Under the plan, the appearance of public spaces will be preserved. However, with a technologically up-to-date infrastructure, the entire complex will be greener, more energy efficient and even more secure.
Every Woman, Every Child
Almost nine million children die each year before they reach their fifth birthday. In that same year, 350,000 women will die from preventable complications related to pregnancy. The United Nations has pushed the issue of child and maternal health to the forefront of the global agenda. Two of the eight Millennium Development Goals focus on dramatically slashing mortality rates for mothers and children. Realizing these goals is critical to the broader target of reducing poverty by 2015.
