"Today, we, the leaders of the world's states, are talking about the future of planet Earth - our common home. We have never had and will never have another home. We are talking about the future of our children and grandchildren. About the future of all who will come to this world after us. We represent different cultures, different value systems, different civilizations. But we are united in the face of the global challenge that nature itself has thrown at us," Alexander Lukashenko stressed. The President stated that the climate is changing and scientists are making the darkest predictions. "The fact that we hear them and react is very progressive. But in order to effectively counter the threat, it is necessary to honestly and openly name its root causes," the head of state noted. Alexander Lukashenko noted that Belarus fully fulfills its obligations under the Paris Agreement and even exceeds them. "We provide invaluable ecosystem services to our continent by preserving a unique source of oxygen - the natural swamps, forests, and lungs of Europe. We are developing green and nuclear energy, minimizing the risks of climate change.  Paradoxically, in response we receive new economic sanctions, barriers to international trade, and restrictions on access to technology. And not just us. It's time to admit: the green agenda is meaningless in a confrontational environment. It demands respect for the sovereignty of the countries and unconditional justice!" the Belarusian leader said. At the Dubai summit, Lukashenko urges the international community not to express "concerns" about climate security, but to act!  "Belarus calls on all those who are obliged to take on the burden of historical responsibility: first, to make a proportionate contribution to solving climate security issues over all centuries of thoughtless attitude to nature; secondly, to strengthen support for developing countries and countries with economies in transition; third, to stop expressing "concerns" and start acting in the name of preserving life on Earth," Alexander Lukashenko said.

On October 12, 2023, Gomel the 76th meeting of the joint board of the Union State Committee on Hydrometeorology and Environmental Pollution Monitoring is taking place. The meeting brought together representatives of the hydrometeorological services of the two countries, representatives of the Standing Committee of the Union State, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection of Belarus, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union of Belarus and Russia, as well as executive authorities and scientific circles of the two countries. Specialists of the two countries are considering topical issues of interaction between the state hydrometeorological services of Belarus and Russia, including climate services in the technical sphere of the economy, the state and improvement of the atmospheric air monitoring system. Among the important topics is the role of additional professional education for the sustainable professional development of the hydrometeorological industry, etc. It will also focus on ensuring hydrometeorological safety in conditions of climate variability and change, the state and improvement of the atmospheric air monitoring system, the development of the portal "Hydrological Observation Network of the Russian Federation" in the interests of the Union State, the formation and management of the State Hydrometeorological Fund in Belarus and Russia. The meeting is held in the spirit of friendly dialogue. For reference: the joint board has been held for more than a quarter of a century. It is a platform for constructive dialogue, consideration of issues in the field of hydrometeorology and related fields, exchange of experience. Also on the agenda is a discussion of current activities and promising scientific developments. Before the meeting, Svetlana Kuzmich, First Deputy head of Belhydromet told reporters about cooperation with Russian colleagues : "To create a short-term forecast it is enough to know the weather on the territory of neighboring countries, but to create a forecast for 10 days ahead, you need to know what the weather was in Canada. And the fact that some of the European information is not available to us now we compensate through new technologies related to satellite meteorology, training of our specialists. According to the agreement reached with our Russian colleagues, our specialists are trained according to the quotas of the Union State. There is something to strive for, developing new directions." Information from the Belarusian side is valuable for colleagues from Russia. "We are located west of Russia. And the Western transfer is typical for the European part. From 2018 to 2020 we have built a wide network of radars. We have five radars for the republic. And we already see the development of dangerous and unfavorable phenomena on the outskirts of Belarus. And it is very interesting and important for our colleagues as well. We have created a single radar field. Thus, we provide ourselves and our Russian colleagues with this information," explained the first deputy head of the Belhydromet. Svetlana Kuzmich also told reporters about the objective need to adapt to the ongoing climate changes: "The hydrometeorological industry has something to strive for and improve, although modernization has been carried out in recent years, technological approaches have been strengthened. Now not only the topic of climate change is relevant in the country, but also real recommendations to industries and sectors of the economy on how to adapt to this factor. We can talk about a certain shift in cycles, an increase in the off-season period. At the same time, we understand that it is impossible to reverse the ongoing processes but we are able to offer solutions to adapt to them. And each industry is characterized by its own dangerous phenomena. At the same time agriculture suffers the most: approximately 42% of all dangerous phenomena lead to the death of agricultural crops, 19% affects the fuel and energy complex and 12% affects the construction industry. Our specialists also develop recommendations for the adaptation of various sectors of the economy. For example in the construction industry it is necessary to revise certain rules and regulations. If we talk about the energy industry we understand that now the share of electricity costs for air conditioning exceeds the share of heating costs. In the agricultural sphere there is a need to replace some systems, seeds with more thermophilic ones."

National Unity Day is a state holiday which was established by the President of Belarus in 2021, and this year our country will celebrate it for the third time. The date is timed to the anniversary of the liberation campaign of the Red Army on September 17, 1939 which resulted in the reunification of the western and eastern lands of Belarus (then the BSSR). On this momentous day the Red Army committed an act of historical justice returning a significant part of the Belarusian lands with the original Belarusian people divided against their will under the terms of the Riga Peace Treaty to the bosom of their native country. As a result of the liberation campaign of the Red Army and the reunification of Western Belarus with the BSSR the population and area of Belarus have doubled! The territory of the republic amounted to 225.7 thousand square kilometers, and the population grew to 10 million people. In honor of this important event streets are named in many cities of Belarus – thus it was immortalized in the history of the Soviet authorities. September 17 is considered a solemn day of national scale. This holiday is a symbol of pride for our great Motherland, a symbol of creativity, unity, patriotism and sovereignty. A large number of various socio-political and patriotic events are planned for the National Unity Day at various levels in the country, patriotic actions are being held. In Minsk, an alley of flags will appear in front of the National Library on the Day of National Unity where symbols of all districts, regions and cities of the country's regional subordination will be presented. The National Flag of the Republic of Belarus will head the alley. 152 satin flags with a height of several meters will be placed on flagpoles, on which a special QR code will be placed. By scanning it Minsk residents and guests of the capital will be able to find out information about the sights and history of the district. The unity of symbols marks the unity of the country! The staff of Belhydromet sincerely congratulates all compatriots on National Unity Day! We wish all our citizens well-being, prosperity and mutual support so that our native Belarus will always remain a successful and independent state and confidently move into a bright future with new prospects!
