International Year of Glass 2022 set for UN approval Published 12th May, 2021 by Greg Morris An International Year of Glass 2022 is set for United Nations approval. The United Nations is set to approve a proposed International Year of Glass 2022 next week. The proposal has passed a process of silence that is imposed by the UN before any resolution, which means that the proposal will definitely be approved at the next United Nations General Assembly on May 17 and 18. Prof Alicia Duran, President of the IYOG2022 steering committee for the year of glass said that with the support and tireless work of more than 1500 organisations and institutions from 78 countries, it had achieved its objective.
