10月24日世界发展信息日：联合国大会1972年设立 强调信息传播助力全球发展
10 月 24 日是联合国「世界发展信息日」（World Development Information Day）。联合国官方纪念日日历显示，2026 年的纪念日落在 10 月 24 日当天，与「联合国日」同日举行。
该纪念日由联合国大会于 1972 年通过第 3038（XXVII）号决议设立，目的是提请世界舆论关注全球发展问题，并强调必须加强国际合作加以解决。联大同时决定将日期定在 10 月 24 日，与联合国日同日，也是 1970 年《第二个联合国发展十年国际发展战略》通过的纪念日。
按照设立决议的宗旨，这一纪念日的核心是改进发展信息的传播：动员各国政府、媒体与公众，尤其是青年群体，更广泛地了解发展问题，并运用包括信息与通信技术在内的传播手段，推动经济与社会发展。
世界发展信息日不是公共假日，联合国各机构与会员国通常以会议、研讨与公共宣传等方式加以纪念。
World Development Information Day on October 24: Established by the UN General Assembly in 1972 to Put Information to Work for Development
October 24 is World Development Information Day, a United Nations observance. The UN's official observances calendar lists the 2026 observance on October 24, the same date as United Nations Day.
The day was established by the UN General Assembly in 1972 through resolution 3038 (XXVII), to draw the attention of world public opinion to development problems and the need to strengthen international cooperation to solve them. The Assembly chose October 24 to coincide with United Nations Day and with the anniversary of the adoption, in 1970, of the International Development Strategy for the Second United Nations Development Decade.
Under its founding resolution, the observance centers on improving the dissemination of information about development: mobilizing governments, media and the public — young people in particular — to better understand development issues, and using information and communication technologies to advance economic and social progress.
World Development Information Day is not a public holiday. UN bodies and member states typically mark it with meetings, seminars and public information campaigns.
