Empowering Humanity and Planet
"Empowering Humanity and Planet" is our overarching initiative dedicated to creating a sustainable future where both people and the planet can thrive. We believe that true progress comes from balancing human development with environmental stewardship. This initiative focuses on promoting social equity, environmental sustainability, and community empowerment. Through a variety of projects, we aim to tackle global challenges such as climate change, poverty, and inequality while fostering a culture of responsibility and care for the Earth.
Our Mission and Vision
We mobilize ideas, people, and resources to help the UN drive global progress through effective collective action.
Media entrepreneur and philanthropist Ted Turner founded the UN Foundation in 1998 because he believed the United Nations is indispensable to tackling humanity’s greatest challenges and driving global progress. The same belief guides us today.
The Foundation was created to work closely with the UN/ Indian Govt. and West Bengal Govt. to mobilize the ideas, people, and resources it needs to help solve global problems at scale. We focus on issues at the heart of the Sustainable Development Goals, build novel innovations and partnerships across sectors to grow a diverse and durable constituency for collective action. Partnership, and the power of smart and strategic collaboration, is in our DNA.
We believe everyone has a part to play, everyone’s voice should be heard, and everyone has a stake.
Empowering Human Rights
We champion dignity and sustainability through advocacy on critical global issues for humanity's future.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Member states of the United Nations pledged to promote respect for the human rights of all. To advance this goal, the UN established a Commission on Human Rights and charged it with the task of drafting a document spelling out the meaning of the fundamental rights and freedoms proclaimed in the Charter. The Commission, guided by Eleanor Roosevelt’s forceful leadership, captured the world’s attention.
The Role of Non-governmental Organizations
Globally the champions of human rights have most often been citizens, not government officials. In particular, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have played a cardinal role in focusing the international community on human rights issues. For example, NGO activities surrounding the 1995 United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China, drew unprecedented attention to serious violations of the human rights of women.
A Short History of Human Rights
The belief that everyone, by virtue of her or his humanity, is entitled to certain human rights is fairly new. Its roots, however, lie in earlier tradition and documents of many cultures; it took the catalyst of World War II to propel human rights onto the global stage and into the global conscience.
