75th Anniversary of the United Nations (UN) Organization.
the United Nations launched a global conversation to mark its 75th anniversary. Through surveys and dialogues, people from all countries and all walks of life were asked about their hopes and fears for the future, and how to address the challenges we face – from COVID-19 to the climate crisis, longstanding conflicts to new forms of violence, geopolitical tensions to social unrest, and rapid changes in our populations and in the digital sphere.
During 2020, over a million people and thousands of organisations took part. Their views form a snapshot of global opinion at this turbulent time for the world, with priorities and recommendations for how to build a better world for all.

(13 February)
World Radio Day.
This special event call sign has been approved by UN HQ in New York USA.
The World Radio Day seeks raise awareness about the importance of radio, facilitate access to information through radio and enhance networking among broadcasters. Radio has to be recognized as a low cost medium, specifically suited to reach remote communities and vulnerable people: the illiterate, the disabled, women, youth and the poor, while offering a platform to intervene in the public debate, irrespective of people’s educational level. Furthermore, radio has a strong and specific role in emergency communication and disaster relief. There is also a changing face to radio services which, in the present times of media convergence, are taking up new technological forms, such as broadband, mobiles and tablets. However, it is said that up to a billion people still do not have access to radio today.
On November 3, 2011, the 36th General Conference of UNESCO approved the creation of the World Day of Radio. The initial idea came from the Spanish Academy of Radio four years ago, therefore, the Permanent Delegation of Spain to UNESCO formally present the proposal at the session 187 of UNESCO’s Executive Board in September 2011.
