Last week, IPSF represented pharmacy students and young health professionals at UNEA-7, the United Nations Environment Assembly, in Nairobi, Kenya. 🌍

UNEA is the world’s highest-level decision-making body on environmental matters, bringing together Member States, UN agencies, and Major Groups & Stakeholders to shape global environmental governance.

In this video, members of the IPSF delegation share their reflections from UNEA-7 — from what it means to attend UNEA as a pharmacist or recent graduate, to the environmental health issues that stood out most, key insights from negotiations and side events, and how youth can meaningfully contribute to environmental health advocacy.

Through these conversations, our delegates highlight the critical role of young health professionals in advancing environmental health, climate action, and sustainable development — and how the UNEA-7 experience will be brought back to their communities and IPSF regions.

As we conclude our UNEA-7 journey, we look forward to continuing these conversations beyond Nairobi — translating insights into action, strengthening youth engagement, and advancing environmental health advocacy across IPSF regions and future global platforms. 🌱✨

🌍✨ World Human Rights Day 2025 ✨🌍

“Our Everyday Essentials” is the theme for this year’s Human Rights Day campaign. It aims to reaffirm the relevance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and its core values such as equality and freedom that shape people’s daily life every single day.

Human rights are often most at risk in times of conflict, displacement, or instability. Every day, we fight for these rights, but today, on Human Rights Day, we especially recognize their importance and how each of us can take action for those whose voices go unheard.

As pharmacy students and future healthcare professionals, we see how quickly access to care, safety, education, and peace can disappear — especially for children who cannot advocate for themselves. Protecting their early years strengthens entire communities.

Advocacy starts with awareness and empathy. Every voice matters and even small actions help uphold the rights we all share.

Swipe to read our reflections on why human rights matter!

Every antibiotic has a story. It starts with healing, but can end with resistance if we’re not careful. 😷

As we continue our campaign, we’re taking you on a journey about the truth behind those tiny pills we often take for granted.

From the first prescription to the moment resistance appears, this story shows how small actions - in clinics, pharmacies, and homes decide the fate of antibiotics.🦠
