The Convention established a framework for global cooperation in the science of measurement and its industrial, commercial and societal applications. The original goal of the Metric Convention - worldwide uniformity of measurement - remains as important today as it was in 1875. Since then, the Convention has been the foundation of a globally coherent system of measurement, the basis for scientific discovery and innovation, industrial production and international trade, as well as for improving the quality of life and protecting the global environment.<\/p>\n<p>The importance of this system and measurement in general is reminded by the theme of this year's World Metrology Day; it deals with measurement, supporting the global food system. The theme was chosen because of the growing challenges of climate change and the global distribution of food in a world with an ever-growing population.<\/p>\n<p>Food security is one of the basic conditions of life, making access to safe and affordable food a major challenge for governments around the world, as well as for farmers and food producers. In 2021, food trade was worth USD 22 trillion and accounted for approximately 20 % of all world trade.<\/p>\n<p>It is widely recognised that the depletion of natural resources and the impact of climate change pose major challenges to the global food system, with the goal of achieving a world without hunger and with universal access to clean water. This goal has been included among the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. The theme of World Metrology Day 2023 is then a reminder of the importance of working at all levels of metrology.<\/p>\n<p>Two articles in the issue are dedicated to the theme of World Metrology Day <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unmz.gov.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/Metrologie-2-23-titulni-str-obsah.pdf\">2\/2023<\/a> of the journal Metrology (https:\/\/www.unmz.gov.cz\/metrologie\/casopis-metrologie\/).<\/p>\n<p>You can find more information here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldmetrologyday.org\">https:\/\/www.worldmetrologyday.org<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sv\u011btov\u00fd den metrologie je ka\u017edoro\u010dn\u00ed oslavou podpisu Metrick\u00e9 \u00famluvy dne 20. kv\u011btna 1875 z\u00e1stupci sedmn\u00e1cti zem\u00ed.\u00a0\u00damluva stanovila r\u00e1mec pro glob\u00e1ln\u00ed spolupr\u00e1ci ve v\u011bd\u011b o m\u011b\u0159en\u00ed a v jej\u00edch pr\u016fmyslov\u00fdch, komer\u010dn\u00edch a spole\u010densk\u00fdch aplikac\u00edch.\u00a0P\u016fvodn\u00ed c\u00edl Metrick\u00e9 \u00famluvy \u2013 celosv\u011btov\u00e1 jednotnost m\u011b\u0159en\u00ed \u2013 z\u016fst\u00e1v\u00e1 dnes stejn\u011b d\u016fle\u017eit\u00fd jako v roce 1875.
