This week’s highlight – International Day of Families
Even though, families
have undergone
alterations all over
the world over the
past decade, in terms
of their structure and
as a result of global
tendencies and
demographic
changes, the United
Nations still
acknowledges the family as the basic unit of society. The International Day of Families provides an
opportunity to raise awareness of issues relating to families and to increase knowledge of the social,
economic and demographic processes affecting them. It has encouraged a series of awareness-
raising events, such as national family days. In several countries, this day is an opportunity to
highlight different areas of interest and importance to families.
The theme in 2019 is “Families and Climate Action: Focus on SDG 13”
• Improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate
change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning
• Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning
