Millions of people suffer from food-borne illnesses caused by contaminated food, with children, older persons, pregnant women, and those with weakened immunity facing the greatest risks. Food safety is a shared responsibility across the entire food chain and requires effective regulation, monitoring, infrastructure, hygiene, and public awareness.
At the same time, food safety standards must support rather than undermine the livelihoods of small producers, fisherfolk, street vendors, and informal workers through investments in training, clean water, sanitation, storage, and testing facilities. As climate change, pollution, and environmental degradation create new risks, World Food Safety Day reminds us that safe food is a fundamental right and a public good essential for healthy people, resilient communities, and sustainable food systems.

Oceans regulate the climate, produce much of the oxygen we breathe, support extraordinary biodiversity, and provide food, livelihoods, and cultural identity to millions of people around the world.
World Oceans Day is a reminder of the urgent need to address growing threats such as plastic pollution, overfishing, habitat destruction, and climate change. Rising sea temperatures, ocean acidification, and unsustainable extraction are placing immense pressure on marine ecosystems and the communities that depend on them.
World Oceans Day calls for collective action to promote sustainable practices that protect marine ecosystems while recognising the rights, knowledge, and stewardship of coastal communities, small-scale fisherfolk, and Indigenous peoples. Healthy oceans are essential for ecological balance, resilient livelihoods, and a just and sustainable future for all. @sndeep

@JioCare @JioCare The issue appears to be resolved after almost 4 hours, but you have not answered my question. What was the reason for the network degradation, and what corrective action was taken to restore service? Customers deserve an explanation for prolonged disruptions. That's it

World Environment Day!
Putting People at the Heart of Environmental Protection
World Environment Day is a reminder that the future of our planet depends not only on technological solutions and government policies, but also on the knowledge, stewardship, and leadership of the communities whose lives are most closely connected to nature.
Across the world, small farmers, pastoralists, forest dwellers, fisherfolk, Indigenous peoples, and other traditional communities have protected ecosystems for generations. Their livelihoods depend on healthy forests, rivers, wetlands, grasslands, coasts, and biodiversity-rich landscapes. In caring for these ecosystems, they have often conserved biodiversity, maintained ecological balance, and developed sustainable ways of living with nature long before environmental protection became a global concern.
Yet these same communities are among the first to experience the impacts of climate change, environmental degradation, pollution, and the loss of natural resources. As floods, droughts, heatwaves, and ecological disruptions intensify, their knowledge and experience become even more valuable.
Protecting the environment therefore requires more than conservation from above. It requires entrusting local communities with meaningful rights, responsibilities, and decision-making power over the ecosystems on which they depend. Securing community rights to land, forests, water bodies, grazing lands, and other commons can strengthen environmental protection while improving livelihoods and social justice.
Evidence from across the world shows that where communities have secure tenure and a voice in governance, forests are better protected, biodiversity is richer, natural resources are used more sustainably, and resilience to climate change is stronger. Community-led conservation, agroecology, sustainable fisheries, and locally driven restoration efforts offer practical pathways towards a more just and sustainable future.
On this World Environment Day, let us recognise that the people most dependent on nature are often its most committed guardians. Building a sustainable future means placing communities at the centre of efforts to protect biodiversity, restore ecosystems, and confront the climate crisis. The health of our planet and the well-being of its people depend on it.
