Article Abstract
Founded in 1945, the United Nations (UN) system has become the place where countries come together to discuss complex and multifaceted issues that no one country can tackle alone. Civil society continues to be an integral part of the UN system, supporting the work of various entities and providing expertise on core pillars such as development, human rights and peace and security. Some global nursing leaders have made considerable progress in increasing nursing engagement and visibility across the system; however, representation remains small. Despite a strong appetite to be involved in global public policy, there is also a need to increase awareness and knowledge of how to engage with and navigate key global organizations. Numerous opportunities exist for civil society to participate in, learn from and influence the work of the UN. This article provides Canadian nursing leaders with examples of pathways to explore to become formally affiliated with entities within the UN system.

Seven candidate interventions to address abuse of older people.
Age Ageing
August 2025
Department of Social Determinants of Health, Division of Healthier Populations, World Health Organization, Geneva, Switzerland.
The Abuse of Older People - Intervention Accelerator (AOP-IA) project aims to accelerate the development of effective interventions to prevent and reduce AOP aged 60 and older within the framework of the United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021-2030). The AOP-IA was launched in response to the global need for interventions with proven effectiveness, as few existing approaches have been rigorously evaluated. This paper focuses on the first two phases of the AOP-IA project, which involved conducting a systematic search, screening and evaluation process to identify candidate interventions ready to be rigorously evaluated in future stages of the project, as well as establishing a network of intervention developers.

The One Health Joint Plan of Action (2022-2026), developed by the United Nations Quadripartite (FAO, UNEP, WHO, and WOAH), provides a comprehensive framework to address global health risks at the human-animal-plant-environment interface. However, it overlooks the critical role of microbiomes-complex microbial communities that underpin the health of all ecosystems and are central to the One Health paradigm. Microbiomes regulate key processes, such as nutrient cycling, pathogen suppression, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) dynamics, and environmental resilience, making their inclusion essential for achieving One Health goals.

Background: The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is undergoing demographic shifts potentially increasing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its complications. We assessed MASLD prevalence and liver disease burden from 2010 to 2021.
Methods: Data from Global Burden of Disease (GBD), United Nations Population Division and NCD Risk Factor Collaboration covering 21 MENA countries were used for annual percent change (APC) trends per Joinpoint regression.

Objectives: Healthcare systems contribute significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions through energy consumption and waste generation. This study aims to explore strategies to make cochlear implantation processes more environmentally sustainable and aligned with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
Methods: We examined various approaches including the use of bio-based and biodegradable materials, sustainable energy solutions, greener anesthetic practices, effective waste separation and recycling in operating rooms, and patient-centered strategies such as reducing travel and promoting early activation and fitting of cochlear implants.
