IFRS Sustainability Standards are developed to enhance investor-company dialogue so that investors receive decision-useful, globally comparable sustainability-related disclosures that meet their information needs. The ISSB is supported by technical staff and a range of advisory bodies.

Sustainability factors are becoming a mainstream part of investment decision-making.

This year, the International Day of Peace Youth event is livestreamed via UN Web TV and UN YouTube on 14 September from 9:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. EST.

The existence of international days predates the establishment of the United Nations, but the UN has embraced them as a powerful advocacy tool. We also mark other UN observances.
