The Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations

Secretariat is a vital interface between global policies in the economic, social and
environmental spheres and national action. The Department works in three main
interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic,
social and environmental data and information on which Member States of the United
Nations draw to review common problems and to take stock of policy options; (ii) it
facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on
joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it
advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy
frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes
at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities.

The designations employed and the presentation of the material in this

publication do not imply the expression of any opinion on the part of the Secretariat
