This year, the United Nations is celebrating its 70th anniversary. It is a year to highlight and reflect upon seven decades of global collaboration to promote peace, security, human rights, development and our joint efforts to conquer some of the most pressing challenges facing our world.
UN DESA has been playing a vital part in these efforts. As the entity of the UN Secretariat responsible for development, the department works closely with governments and other partners to find concrete solutions to economic, social and environmental challenges. Throughout decades, UN DESA’s in-depth policy analysis has helped resolve many of the world’s most pressing socio-economic issues.
VIDEO SERIES: 70 years of development in 70 seconds
Through UN DESA’s “70 years of development in 70 seconds” series featuring seven videos and brief stories, the department’s work to promote development for all will be highlighted. The series will spotlight topics including indigenous peoples, disability rights, financing and economy, population trends, good governance, poverty eradication, forests and sustainable development.
New videos will be shared on this site as well as on the main UN website dedicated to highlight the 70th Anniversary of the United Nations.
