The aim of WESS 2017 is to document the intellectual influence of
the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) through its
flagship publication, World Economic and Social Survey (WESS) on
its 70th Anniversary. First published in 1948, the Survey is the
oldest continuous post-World War II publication of its kind that
records and analyses the performance of the global economy and
social development trends as well as offers relevant policy
recommendations. WESS 2017 will highlight how well the Survey
tracked global economic and social conditions, and how its analysis
influenced and were influenced by the prevailing discourse during
the past seven decades. It will also critically reflect on its
policy recommendations and their influence on actual policy-making
and the shaping of the world economy. Particular attention will be
given to reflect on the lessons that a historical review of the
policy analysis done by the Survey would provide for the
implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

In 15 years, the lifespan of the 2030 Agenda, the 10-year-old girl
will be 25. Will she still be left behind? Or will she be enjoying
her human rights and well-being, and exploring the many avenues
open to her, knowing that, when her own daughter turns 10, she will
experience more of the same? Only the latter scenario will allow
the world to truly claim that it transformed the course of
development and met the challenge of the Sustainable Development
Goals. Much depends on the choices we all make, from parents to
policymakers, educators to health-care professionals, economists to
entrepreneurs, journalists to community leaders. Today's
10-year-old girl is on the way to her future. And her future is our
own.

Europe and Central Asia encompasses great economic, social and
environmental diversity, its countries are facing various food
security and nutrition challenges. While they have made significant
progress in reducing the prevalence of undernourishment over the
past two decades, new evidence shows a stagnation of this trend,
particularly in Central Asia. The in-depth analysis provides new
evidence for monitoring trends in food security and nutrition, and
progress made against specific targets of the Sustainable
Development Goal 2.
International migration is a structural feature of an
interconnected Asia-Pacific. The number of migrants to and from the
region continues to grow, reflecting factors such as changing
demographics, economic transformations, and increased connectivity,
as well as showing the influence of instability and conflict in the
region; meanwhile, the impacts of migration in all countries have
grown to become more important; and the means adopted by countries
have adapted to try to address these impacts in a positive manner.
This report draws from existing research and provides information
on the key trends in migration in the region; the drivers of
migration; the impacts of migration; and policy responses at
national and multilateral level and concludes with recommendation
African countries have already started the hard work of
implementing Agenda 2063 and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development, which were adopted in January 2015 and September 2015
respectively. Both agendas are complex in terms of numbers of
goals, targets and indicators as well as dimensions of development
covered; both are very ambitious and geared towards sustainable
development through notably industrialization, eradication of
poverty and inclusiveness. This progress report on Agenda 2063 and
the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2017) will provide a
rigorous assessment of Africa's progress in achieving the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Agenda 2063 and serve as a
basis for policy discussion, peer learning and advocacy.
At its first session, the United Nations Permanent Forum on
Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) requested the United Nations System to
produce a report on the state of the world's indigenous peoples
(SOWIP). The first edition covered all six thematic areas of the
Forum's mandate (Economic and social development, Culture,
Environment, Education, Health and Human rights. The second edition
focused on Indigenous Peoples' Access to Health Services. This
third edition of SOWIP provides a comprehensive overview of the
current achievements and challenges facing indigenous peoples
centred on the theme of education. The report is evidence-based,
through seven chapters that will depict the situation in the seven
socio-cultural regions determined to give broad representation of
the world's indigenous peoples (Africa; Arctic; Asia; Central and
South America and the Caribbean; Central and Eastern Europe,
Russian Federation, Central Asia and Transcaucasia; North America;

The 2015 Energy Balances contains energy balances for about 220
countries and territories, showing production, trade,

energy products. The publications presents energy data for
countries and areas in a format which shows the overall picture of
the production, trade, transformation and consumption of energy
products utilized in the region, published by the United Nations
Statistics Division (UNSD). Such a format is useful in assessing
and analysing supply and consumption patterns across both products
and countries in detail on an internationally comparable basis.
The 2015 Electricity Profiles contains electricity profiles for
about 230 countries and territories, providing detailed information
on production, trade and consumption of electricity, net installed
capacity and thermal power plant input and efficiency for most
countries, on an internationally comparable basis. It is published
by the United Nations Statistics Division with the aim of providing
an overall picture of the electricity sector of such countries and
areas. Electricity production and electric installed capacity are
disaggregated by source, as coming from Combustible fuels, Hydro,
Nuclear and Other sources; and by type of producer, whether from
main activity producers or autoproducers
The blueprints of products we use every day are developed in close
reference to international standards. When these designs are
developed into manufactured goods, firms cooperate with competent
bodies that check conformity of their merchandise with relevant
norms. And finally, when products are on the market or are used as
equipment at the workplace, specialized authorities monitor to
protect consumers, workers and employees from hazard or
non-compliant products. UNECE Recommendations included in this
publication are developed by international experts and adopted by
the responsible national authorities. They are not legally binding,
but are used worldwide as a reference by national Governments and
standardizing bodies, as well as by organizations that promote
regional and international cooperation. This is a revised edition
of the recommendations.
