World Bicycle Day

World Bicycle Day is celebrated annually on June 3; this special day encourages people to use bicycles as a simple, affordable, reliable, and eco-friendly means of transportation.
World Bicycle Day was declared by the United Nations in April 2018, following a resolution adopted by 193 member countries. It recognises the uniqueness, longevity, and versatility of the bicycle — a sustainable, reliable mode of transport that has been in use for over two centuries.
The initiative was proposed by Professor Leszek Sibilski, a U.S.-based sociologist and cycling advocate, and quickly gained global momentum.

World Hunger Day 2025: Empowering Communities for Sustainable Food Security

Every year on May 28, World Hunger Day reminds the global community of the urgent need to address hunger and food insecurity, affecting over 800 million people worldwide.
Founded in 2011 by The Hunger Project, this day goes beyond raising awareness—it calls for long-term, sustainable solutions that empower individuals and communities to break the cycle of poverty and hunger.
World Hunger Day 2025 continues this legacy by urging collective action through education, advocacy, and support for local development initiatives that promote food sovereignty and resilience.
World Hunger Day 2025 is observed globally on Wednesday, May 28, with campaigns aimed at highlighting the root causes of hunger and advocating for policies and practices that empower vulnerable communities.
This year's focus underscores the importance of locally led development, climate-resilient agriculture, and gender equality in achieving Zero Hunger, a key UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 2).
