United Nations Day, celebrated on October 24 each year, commemorates the entry into force of the UN Charter in 1945, marking the official establishment of the United Nations. The day emphasizes core UN values, including world peace, human rights protection, and the promotion of sustainable development.

In 2024, the focus is on addressing global challenges such as climate change, humanitarian crises, and social inequality. This year highlights the importance of multilateral cooperation and the urgent need to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in areas like climate action and poverty alleviation.

Global events, from high-level diplomatic meetings to local educational campaigns, mark this day. These activities encourage global citizens, governments, and organizations to work together in building a fairer and more sustainable world.

The UN also urges countries to accelerate their commitments to reducing carbon emissions and strengthening resilience to climate change impacts. United Nations Day not only celebrates past achievements but also serves as a reminder of the ongoing global efforts needed to address the challenges humanity faces today.
