Very often, people pick up new hobbies because they want to “shake things up.” Our lives can fall into routines and ruts, so much so that any new activity could make a massive difference. For people looking to better their days, read on to discover hobbies that will improve your quality of life. At least one of these ideas should strike you as an excellent option.
Cooking
Learning how to cook nutritious meals will improve several aspects of your life. It will help you save money, eat healthier, and bond with other people. People love people who know how to cook. If you become a master, you might be the favorite dinner guest or the best host in a friend group. Look up some recipes, take a class, or just start throwing things into the pot. Just be patient and allow yourself a few slip-ups.
Volunteering
Being present and helpful in your community is a great way to stay mentally and physically active. Volunteering offers endless opportunities to make connections, give back, and watch as your projects flourish. Volunteering is one of the hobbies that will improve your quality of life because it makes you more appreciative of what you have and more compassionate toward people who have less.
Golfing
Like many other walking-heavy outdoor activities, golf will improve your quality of life because it gets you outside and moving your body. You do not need to be a pro athlete to enjoy the sport. You only need the patience to get better and an appreciation for wide-open spaces. Learn ways to improve your golf swing, and get out on the course!
Writing
Whether you’re blogging, journaling, or poetry, writing gives you an outlet for relaxing self-expression. People who write in their leisure time experience less pressure and better sleep. Also, if you want to share your work with the public, you can build connections with similarly minded people.

SECRETARY-GENERAL/ FINANCING FOR DEVELOPMENT
This morning, in Sevilla, Spain, the Secretary-General had a closed meeting with the Heads of the Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs). He then had a bilateral meeting with Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, President of the regional government of Andalusia and the First Vice-President of the European Committee of the Regions.
The Secretary-General left Sevilla in the afternoon. We expect to announce his next travel in the coming days.
DEPUTY SECRETARY-GENERAL
The Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed, was also present at the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4) in Sevilla, where she delivered remarks at the High-Level session of the International Business Forum. She called for a shift from international assistance to investments in sustainable development and underscored the private sector’s role in delivering impact at scale.
She also participated in a G20-Spain high-level special event on debt sustainability in developing countries alongside Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, and she highlighted the need to break the cycle of debt and welcomed the growing attention from policymakers.
This evening, she will travel to Vienna to address the 68th session of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, organized by the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA).
During her time, there she will meet with Member States, senior government officials and the UN system. She will then return to Seville on Thursday for the closing of FFD4.
OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY
Turning to the situation in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli military operations have further intensified in northern Gaza since the issuance of the displacement order on Sunday by the Israeli authorities. In the time since that directive was announced, our partners on the ground say that at least 1,500 families have been displaced from North Gaza, as well as eastern parts of Gaza governorate, towards the central and western parts of Gaza governorate.
Over the past 48 hours, five school buildings sheltering displaced families in North Gaza were reportedly hit, with deaths and injuries reported. Initial assessments by partners indicate that many families who fled from the schools that were hit have returned to North Gaza, largely due to the lack of alternatives and limited shelter space elsewhere.
Healthcare also continues to come under attack. The World Health Organization says that in central Gaza yesterday, a tent sheltering displaced people in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al Balah was reportedly hit, injuring five people. The agency added that the hospital’s internal medicine department also sustained some damage, and its oxygen supply line was affected.
Since October 2023, WHO has documented 734 attacks on healthcare in Gaza. WHO reiterated its call for the protection of civilians and healthcare facilities. OCHA reiterates that under international humanitarian law, civilians and civilian infrastructure must be protected, not targeted.
Regarding aid operations on the ground, OCHA tells us that movement restrictions remain a major challenge, preventing partners from predictably and sustainably providing critical services and assistance.

United Nations Video: Gaza: "Level of suffering and brutality is unbearable" - Briefing to the UN Security Council
Briefing by Khaled Khiari, Assistant Secretary-General for the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific, on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question.
Assistant Secretary-General Khaled Khiari today (30 Jun) told the Security Council that “the level of suffering and brutality in Gaza is unbearable,” and “the continued collective punishment of the Palestinian people is unjustifiable.”
Khiari expressed deep concern at “Israeli military operations in Gaza that render large areas of Gaza uninhabitable,” and rejected “the forced displacement of the Palestinian population from any part of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, which would constitute a breach of international law obligations.”
He mourned the United Nations personnel killed in Gaza and “strongly” condemned “the killing of all health and humanitarian personnel and journalists.”
Khiari also condemned “the loss of lives and injuries of Palestinians seeking aid in Gaza” and called for “an immediate and independent investigation into these events and for perpetrators to be held accountable.”
He stressed that the United Nations “will not participate in any aid delivery modality that does not comply with the fundamental humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality, independence, and neutrality.”

United Nations Video: Launch of the Sevilla Platform for Action - UN Chief remarks | #FFD4 | United Nations
Remarks by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, at the Launch of the Sevilla Platform for Action - 4th International Conference on Financing for Development FFD4 (Sevilla, Spain).
"Mr. President of the Government of Spain, dear Pedro Sánchez,
Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
Thank you for joining this launch of the Sevilla Platform for Action.
Respected President of the Government of Spain — I commend you and your government for your vision and leadership as hosts of the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development.
We are all here to respond to a global development crisis that threatens people and planet alike.
Our roadmap to a better future — the Sustainable Development Goals — is in danger.
Two-thirds of the targets are not progressing fast enough — or at all.
Solutions depend on financing.
Developing countries need over $4 trillion a year to deliver on the 2030 Agenda.
But they are being battered by limited fiscal space, slowing growth, crushing debt burdens and growing systemic risks.
The Sevilla Commitment document represents a bold plan to get the engine of development revving again:
Through new domestic and global commitments that can channel public and private finance to the areas of greatest need…
By overhauling the world’s approach to debt to make borrowing work in service of sustainable development…
And by reforming the global financial architecture to reflect today’s realities and the urgent needs of developing countries.
But we need all hands on deck.
And that’s why the Sevilla Platform for Action is so critical — and so significant.
In the midst of a world of division, conflict and economic uncertainty, this Platform contains more than 130 specific initiatives that demonstrate what we can achieve by working together.
Governments, private sector partners, international institutions, and civil society groups all together are teaming up to launch high-impact initiatives to bring the Sevilla Commitment to life.
This includes a global hub for debt swaps at the World Bank as part of a broader facility aimed at relieving liquidity constraints and lowering the cost of borrowing.
A debt pause alliance to help countries in times of crisis.
A global coalition to scale-up pre-arranged finance that can be readily deployed when disasters strike.
A blended finance platform to bring public and private finance together in a new and expanded way.
A new tool for Multilateral Development Banks to manage currency risks.
And a commission to explore the future of development cooperation.
In December, I appointed a group of experts on debt who today are announcing 11 immediately actionable proposals to help resolve the debt crisis.
This includes the commitment to establish a borrowers forum for countries to learn from one another and coordinate their approaches in debt management and restructuring.
I look forward to working closely with Member States — including the G20 — to bring this forum to life, to empower borrower countries, and create a fairer system.
Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
The Sevilla Platform for Action offers an ambitious, action-oriented response to the global financing challenge.
It provides a springboard toward a more just, inclusive, and sustainable world for all countries.
And above all, it proves that progress and change are possible if we work together.
I hope the Platform inspires countries to work as one to tackle other challenges facing our world today.
Once again, I thank Prime Minister Sánchez and all of you for your leadership.
Thank you".

US President Donald Trump has threatened to cut off billions of dollars in subsidies that Elon Musk's companies receive from the federal government.
Shares in Tesla were down nearly 5.5% on Tuesday after the latest escalation in the war of words between the president and the Tesla boss.

ODN Video: Serbian Police Disperse Protesters and Tear Down Barricades in Belgrade
Serbian police have begun removing street blockades in Belgrade after crowds used metal fences and garbage containers to barricade roads on Sunday evening.
Their anger was fuelled by the arrest of anti-government protesters who clashed with police at a massive rally over the weekend.
Footage shared online appears to show police cars driving at high speed through a blockade on one street in the capital, causing bystanders to flee in panic.
Demonstrations, mainly led by university students, have persisted for eight months.
They were initially sparked by the fatal collapse of a train station roof in Novi Sad last November, which killed 16 people.

ODN Video: Serbian Protesters Clash With Police in HUGE Anti-Government Protest
This was what the streets of Serbia’s capital, Belgrade, looked like on Saturday, as protestors clashed with riot police as they dissented against the government.
Here's what we know so far:
On Saturday, around 140,000 protestors gathered as part of one of the largest of recent student-led demonstrations against the populist government.
The demonstrations centered around demanding an early election and an end to President Aleksander Vucic’s 12 year rule. His second term is currently due to end in 2027, when parliamentary elections have been scheduled.
Ahead of the protest, organizers issued an ultimatum for Vucic to announce elections, which he declined.
The key details:
Protestors clashed with police who fired tear gas and detained Several dozens of protestors. At least six officers were also reported injured.
This comes after 5 people were detained on Friday, who according to a statement from Serbia’s Higher Court, were accused of plotting to overthrow the government.
Here's the context:
The protests on Saturday come after almost 8 months of persistent dissent led by university students.
Demonstrations started last December, following the deaths of 16 people on the 1st of November, in the collapse of Novi Sad railway station’s roof - which protestors blamed on corruption and negligence in state infrastructure projects.
The backlash to the incident forced the former Prime Minister, Milos Vucevic, to resign earlier this year, but President Aleksander Vucic still remains in power.
The reaction:
As the protest ended, organizers played a statement to the crowd, urging Serbians to "take freedom into your own hands".
They claimed that “The authorities had all the mechanisms and all the time to meet the demands and prevent an escalation” but “Instead, they chose violence and repression against the citizens. Any radicalisation of the situation is their responsibility.”
President Vucic accused the protestors of wanting to topple Serbia, and he hit back at them today in a News conference, claiming that ”Serbia won. You cannot destroy Serbia with violence as some wanted. Serbia has not and Serbia will never stop.” He also praised the Serbian police force for their professionalism.

After 24 hours of heated debate - three Republicans crossed the floor to join Democrats opposing the bill - including sweeping cuts to taxes and welfare programmes. It now needs to be approved by the House of Representatives, where it could face more opposition.

The backlash was swift - some called it a bold act of protest, while others condemned it as deeply offensive and antisemitic. On-screen warnings issued by the BBC about discriminatory language were deemed “not good enough”, and both the festival and the BBC have since condemned the performance, issuing public apologies.
In this episode of The Fourcast, Matt Frei is joined by journalist and founder of the Free Speech Union Lord Toby Young, and political activist Ash Sarkar - who was at the performance - to unpack the controversy. They discuss the reaction to Bob Vylan’s set, the BBC’s decision to broadcast it, and what this means for free speech and creative freedom in today’s media landscape.
This episode of The Fourcast contains language that some may find offensive.
