How We Celebrate and Innovate Through the Lens of the United Nations—A Call to Action for December

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Celebrate!

Reflect on one UN achievement or milestone from 2025 that resonat-ed with you. Whether it was pro-gress in women’s leadership, ad-vancements in climate commit-ments, humanitarian successes, or other breakthroughs. Understand-ing the wins helps us champion future progress.

Innovate!

Choose one UN priority you want to follow more closely in 2026. Is it AI ethics, global education initiatives, or sus-tainable development that interests you? Or something else, like economic justice or peace and security. Commit to deepen-ing your understanding and awareness and participation in 2026!

Engage!

Explore one UN resource you’re unfamiliar with this month. Whether it’s a briefing, a live event, or a global campaign. You could also consider how your club or com-mittee might connect with that work in the coming year.

As an NGO affiliated with BPW Interna-tional, our engagement connects the lived experiences of working women with the UN’s global priorities. Understanding the UN’s year-end direction helps us align our efforts, strengthening our advocacy and identifying opportunities for meaningful participation.
